歌手：Eminem
歌手简介
阿姆（Eminem，又名艾米纳姆）于1972年10月17日岀生在美国密苏里州的圣约瑟夫，本名为马歇尔·布鲁斯·马泽斯三世，是美国最受欢迎和最具争议的说唱乐手之一。阿姆是嘻哈界极少数成功的白人歌手之一，音乐也受到乐评人广泛好评。他自己作的歌词韵律感很强，也能够在保持音乐节拍不变的情况下在一首歌中改变好几次自己的说唱节奏和风格。同时他也因为歌词的内容备受争议，渗透著反同性恋、厌恶女性的情绪，也过分描绘暴力。不过他最近的一些举动也在这些方面有所改观，如参加海啸捐款，和同志歌星艾尔顿·约翰共同演出、握手、拥抱等。阿姆的歌词涉及范围很广，例如艾滋病在朋友之间的传播等。他同样也在歌中流露出反战、反对小布什的看法。曾被雷尔教派的领袖雷尔封为荣誉神父，但他却是皈依的基督教徒。他反对说唱乐手之间的互相仇杀、反对虐待儿童。尽管认为自己并不是个在政治方面激进好斗的艺人，他也确实在一些方面嘲讽过美国的政治现象。[1]
歌词
Eminem - Yellow Brick Road
What we have to do is deal with it when these idividuals are young enough.
If you wish to be saved, not in a religious sense
but not to constitute what this country at times calls if or which over.
We seem to be approaching an age of the gross.
We all have this idea that we should move up from our parents station
and each generation should do a little bit better.
Come on, let’s cut the bullshit enough
Let’s get it started, let’s start addressing this issue and open it up
Let’s take this shit back to bassmint
And we can disscuss statements thats made on this tape
And its whole origin of the music that we all know and love
The music that we all enjoy the music you all accuse me of tryna destroy
Let’s rewind it to 89 when I was a boy on the east side of Detroit
Crossin 8 Mile in the border in the hate territory
I’d like to share a story,
this is my story and cant no body tell it for me
You will well inform me, I am well aware that I don’t belong here
You’ve made that perfectly clear,
I get my ass kicked damn near everywhere
From Bel-Air shopping center just for stopping in there
From the black side all the way to the white side
Okay there’s a bright side a day that I might slide
You may call it a past I call it haulin my ass
Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks
Oh them railroad tracks, them old railroad tracks
Them good old notorious oh well known tracks
Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home
I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitch hike
Just to get picked up to get me a lift to 8 mile and van dike
And steal a god damn bike from somebody’s backyard
And drop it off at the park that was the half way mark
To meet Kim had to walk back to her mama’s them dramas after dark
To sneak me in the house when I’m kicked out my mom’s
Thats about the time I first met Proof when poof he’d carry on the set
Set eyes born in and out some flyers, he was doin some talent shows
At center line, I had told him to stop by and check this out sometime
He looked at me like I’m out my mind
shook his head like white boys dont know how to rhyme
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
And we both had the same rhymes that sound alike
We was on the same shit that Big Daddy Kane shit
with compound syllables sound combined
From that day we was down to ride
somehow we knew we’d meet again somewhere down the line
Come on lets go back
Follow the yellow brick road as we go on another episode
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
That I once used to call home sweet home
My first year in 9th grade, can’t forget that day at school
It was cool till your man MC Sham came through
And said that Boom was the brain cuz the clan makes troops
It was rumors but man god damned they flew
Musta been true because man we done banned they shoes
I had the new ones the Cool J, Ice land swayed too
And we just through them in the trash like they yesterday’s news
Guess who came through next, X clam debut
Professor X and glorious exists in a state of red, black, and green
With a key sissies now with this bein a new trend
We don’t fit in crackas is out with Cactus albums
Blackness is in, African symbols and medallions
Represents black power and we ain’t know what it meant
Me and my man Howard and ??? would go to the mall with ’em
All over our necks like we’re showin ’em off not knowin at all
We was bein laughed at you ain’t even half black
You ain’t supposed to have that homie let me grab that
And that Flavor Flave clock we gon’ have to snatch that
All I remember is meetin back at Manix’s basement
Sayin how we hate this, our races wit dope the x clan take this
Which reminds me back in 89 me and Kim broke up for the first time
She was tryna two...
