Hello?
我在夜晚中站在户外
“I be standing outside in the night,
一台警用直升机飞过
a police chopper go by
用探照灯打在后院
and shine some lights in some backyards
我想：”把光打在我身上吧 混♥蛋♥
and I think, ‘Shine that light on me, motherfucker,
把该死的光打在我身上
shine me some fucking light
我才能看见我到底身在何方”
so I can see where the fuck I be at.'”

This thing scares me.
吓到你? 为什么?
Scares you? Why?
因为白人希望能看到真♥相♥ 事实却不然
