Some day we gon' set it off

Some day we gon' get this off

Baby, don't you bet it all

On a pack of Fentanyl

You might think they wrote you off

They gon' have to rope me off

Someday the drama'll be gone

And they'll pray no oh no

Sometimes I take all the shine

Talk like I drank all the wine

Years ahead but way behind

I'm on one, two, three, four, five

No half-truths, just naked minds

Caught between space and time

This not what we had in mind

But maybe someday

【汉译英欣赏】
陈懋章《扬州怀古》
昨饮邗江水，今登明月楼。
入眸隋御柳，已逝锦帆舟。
南国滋春梦，西湖载酒游。
风流终作土，何必枉寻愁。
I drank Han’s water yesterday;
Today Moon Bright Tower I climb on.
To my eyes Sui’s court willows sway;
The pleasure boats and sails are gone.
South Land nurtures my dream of lust;
In West Lake I row, carrying wine.
Now romance has turned into dust;
Stop your daydream and no more pine.
——赵彦春 英译

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
The way he described it, he said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no!

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment but I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type that was most inclined
When out of his sight to be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts, no more ifs or ands or buts
Oh no!

They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happenin', I knew I was a genius
What's so strange when you know that you're a wizard at three?
I knew that this was meant to be

Well I heard little children were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I drank a fifth of vodka one night
My parents got frantic, didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy?
I may have been only three but I was swingin'

They all laughed at Al Graham Bell
They all laughed at Edison and also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry if they just couldn't understand
The litany and the logic that went on in my head?
I had a brain, it was insane
Don't you let them laugh at me
When I refused to ride on all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head
But I said "Dear doctor, I think that it's you instead
'Cause I have got a thing that's unique and new
It proves that I'll have the last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head... I got two
And you know two heads are better than one"
