Masterpiece - Temps/Eddie Kendricks
Written by：Norman Whitfield
Money I ain't got none job can't find one
我出生的地方 四处昏暗阴沉 我住在他们叫做市中心的地方
The streets raised me from a baby ooh
那儿严令禁止出人头地 所以没人关心普通百姓的生活
Thousands of lives wasting away
成千上万的生命虚度光阴
People living from day to day
人们每天挣扎在生死边缘
It's a challenge just staying alive
活着就是一个挑战
'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
因为在贫民窟 只有强者才能活下来
Broken down homes kids strung out
破碎的家庭 **的孩子
They don't even know what life's all about
他们甚至都不知道生活是什么样子
Stealin' cars robbin' bars
偷车 **酒吧
Mugging drugs rat infested
**药物 老鼠丛生
And no one's interested
这些都没人关心
Kids dodging cars for recreation
孩子们把躲避车当作游戏
Only adds to a mother's frustration
徒增母亲失望的情绪
Break ins folks comin' home
穷困破落 当他们回家
And finding all their possessions gone
发现他们的家当不见了
Oh it's an ev'ry day thing
在贫民窟 这是常事
Well well
In the ghetto
在贫民窟
Oh it's an ev'ry day thing in the ghetto
在贫民窟 这是常事
