最近開始試著翻常聽的西岸老饒舌歌
畢竟我也很想知道歌詞是啥
就先從嘻哈、G-Funk國歌之一的這首開始
Here we go now
Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang
沒什麼不過是江湖事
[Verse 1: Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre]
One, two, three and to the four
一、二、三、四
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door
史奴比狗狗和Dr.Dre在門口
Ready to make an entrance so back on up
準備來個華麗登場，快做好準備
‘Cause you know we're 'bout to rip shit up
因為我們即將大開殺戒
Give me the microphone first so I can bust like a bubble
先把麥克風給我，讓我能像泡泡一樣炸
Compton and Long Beach together, now you know you in trouble
當康普頓和長灘混在一起，你知道你麻煩大了
* Dre是康普頓人，史奴比狗狗是長灘人
Ain't nuthin' but a G thang, baby
沒什麼不過是江湖事，寶貝
Two loc'ed out niggas so we're crazy
兩個無法無天又瘋狂的傢伙
Death Row is the label that pays me
發我薪水的是死囚唱片
Unfadeable so please don't try to fade this (Hell yeah)
無人可擋，就別再想阻礙我們 (沒錯)
But um, back to the lecture at hand
但摁，讓我們回到正題
Perfection is perfected so I'ma let 'em understand
Perfection 是很完美，但我會讓他們了解
* 史努比狗狗早期跟一個叫Perfection的團體合作過，
* 合作的歌叫做 "Let Em Understand Perfection"
From a young G's perspective
以一個年輕混混的觀點
And before me dig out a bitch I have to find a contraceptive
當我開幹前，會先找個套子
You never know, she could be earnin' her man
你永遠不知道，她或許得到你的愛
And learnin' her man, and at the same time burnin' her man
對你瞭若指掌，但同時也可能毀了你
* "毀了"指的是性病 ...R.I.P., Eazy E.
Now, you know I ain't with that shit, Lieutenant
你懂我絕不會上當
Ain't no pussy good enough to get burnt while I'm up in it (Yeah)
沒有馬子能正到讓我直接開幹
And that's realer than Real-Deal Holyfield
這道理比 Real-Deal Holyfield 還要真實
* Real-Deal Holyfield 指的是重量級拳擊手Evander Holyfield
And now you hookers and hoes know how I feel
現在馬子們懂了吧
Well, if it's good enough to get broke off a proper chunk
不過如果真的很正點的話
I'll take a small piece of some of that funky stuff
那我也想小試一部分
* "break off"指的是啪啪，
* 不過這裡狗狗把隱喻擴大到字面上的意思，"Chunk"是像大麻布朗尼、古柯鹼之類的塊狀物，也就是說，只要是好貨，他都想來一點
[Hook: Both & Snoop Dogg]
It's like this and like that and like this and a X3
就像這樣，就像那樣，就像這樣，然後 X3
Dre, creep to the mic like a phantom
Dre，開始勞斯萊斯幻影般的表演吧
* phantom 指的是勞斯萊斯的幻影
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
Well, I'm peepin' and I'm creepin' and I'm creepin'
摁，我正在花天酒地、翻雲覆雨
But I damn near got caught ‘cause my beeper kept beepin'
還他媽差點被抓包，因為我的BB扣一直在響
Now it's time for me to make my impression felt
現在是時候讓我來好好介紹自己
So sit back, relax, and strap on your seat belt
放鬆坐好，然後繫緊安全帶
You never been on a ride like this befo'
你從沒有過這種感受
With a producer who can rap and control the maestro
因為我是能作能唱的全方位製作人
At the same time with the dope rhyme that I kick
同時還能押出超屌韻腳
You know and I know, I flow some old funky shit
你懂我也懂，我搞的是老派好貨
To add to my collection, the selection symbolizes dope
把這首歌加進我的收藏、我的精選，就是有夠屌
Take a toke, but don't choke
來一口，但可別嗆到了
* 意思是品嘗一口他的專輯，這首歌在他的專輯 "The Chronic" 裡面，Chronic指的是大麻，這也是為什麼專輯上印了大麻葉的圖案
If you do, you'll have no clue
就算嗆到了，你也不懂為什麼
On what me and my homie Snoop Dogg came to do
因為這就是我跟我兄弟史奴比狗狗專幹的事
[Hook: Both & Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg]
It's like this and like that and like this and a X2
就像這樣，就像那樣，就像這樣，然後 X2
It's like this, and who gives a fuck about those?
就像這樣，然後誰他媽在乎那些
So just chill 'til the next episode
只管放鬆直到續集登場
[Verse 3: Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre & Both]
Fallin' back on that ass with a hellafied gangsta lean
用最屌的姿勢開著古惑跳跳車
Gettin' funky on the mic like a old batch of collard greens
在麥克風前耍酷就像一盤冷掉的甘藍菜
* 冷掉的甘藍菜會發臭，而 Funky 的另一個意思就是發臭
It's the capital S, oh yes, I'm fresh, N double-O, P
D, O, double-G, Y, D, O, double-G, you see
這是大寫S，N-兩個O-P，D-O-兩個G-Y，D-O-兩個G，你知道的
Showin' much flex when it's time to wreck a mic
當我表演時我火力全開
Pimpin' hoes and clockin' a grip like my name was Dolemite
拉皮條、賺大錢，好像我是 Dolemite 一樣
* Dolemite是1975年的一部電影主角，一個俱樂部老闆，也是一個皮條客
Yeah, and it don't quit
對，這不會停
I think they in the mood for some motherfuckin' G shit (Hell yeah!)
我想他們想要來點幫派饒舌
So, Dre (What up, Dogg?)
那麼 Dre (怎樣，狗狗)
Gotta give 'em what they want (What's that, G?)
那就給他們想要的吧 (怎樣)
We gotta break 'em off somethin' (Hell yeah)
來點刺激的吧 (沒錯)
And it's gotta be bumpin' (City of Compton)
讓他們心跳加速 (康普頓)
[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]
Is where it takes place, so when asked, your attention
當音樂響起，你們最好注意
Mobbin' like a motherfucker but I ain't lynchin'
我們像暴徒燒殺擄掠，但不施以酷刑
* lynchin' 指的是以前南方白人會對黑人農場工人編造理由處私刑
* 同時也是在Diss Ice Cube，那時候Ice Cube組的團叫"Da Lench Mob"
Droppin' the funky shit that's makin' the sucker niggas mumble
作出屌炸的音樂讓那些蠢貨說不出話
When I'm on the mic, it's like a cookie: they all crumble
當我拿著麥克風，他們就像餅乾一樣被捏碎
Try to get close and your ass'll get smacked
試著接近我只會被我打扁
My motherfuckin' homie Doggy Dogg has got my back
有我兄弟史奴比狗狗挺我
Never let me slip, ‘cause if I slip, then I'm slippin'
別想害我在音樂失足，因為當我失足，那我就不再完美了
* Dre是個出名的完美主義者
But if I got my niña, then you know I'm straight trippin'
當我拿到我的9mm手槍，你知道我會瘋狂開火
* niña a.k.a. Nina Ross a.k.a. 9mm手槍
And I'ma continue to put the rap down, put the mack down
我會試著放下武器、繼續饒舌
* 因為Dre比起當暴徒，更對音樂狂熱
And if you bitches talk shit, I have to put the smack down
但如果你們這些賤貨繼續講些五四三，我一樣海扁你們
Yeah, and you don't stop
對，這不會停
I told ya I'm just like a clock when I tick and I tock
我就像個時鐘不停努力工作
But I'm never off, always on to the break of dawn
從不止息，總是工作到破曉

就像這樣，就像那樣，就像這樣，然後 X2
It's like this, and who gives a fuck about those?
就像這樣，然後誰他媽在乎那些
So just chill 'til the next episode
