今週の全米洋楽 １０位 The Show Goes On ー Lupe Fiasco

The Show Goes On"

[Chorus x2:]
Alright, already the show goes on

ショウは続く

all night, till the morning we dream so long

一晩中　朝まで　夢を見る　ずっと

anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun up

誰も　思わない　日が上がるのを見るとき

just remember when you come up


the show goes on!

[Verse 1:]
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had

今まで感じたことはあるか　

Don’t that shit that make you mad

そんなころすいるな お前を狂わせるような

They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,

やつらはお前を奴隷みたいに扱う　お前の魂につながれたチェーン

and put whips up on your back,

背中に鞭をうち

they be lying through they teeth


hope you slip up off your path

道を外してくれればと思う

I don’t switch up I just laugh


put my kicks up on they desk

足を机に投げ出して

unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass



see that’s how that Chi-Town made me

どんなふうにシカゴがおれを育てて来てくれたか

That’s how my daddy raised me

どんなふうに父親がおれを育ててきてくれたか

that glittering may not be gold, don’t let no body play me

この輝きは　ゴールドにはならない

if you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up
L-U-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust
so even if they ban us they’ll never slow my plans up!

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
One in the air for the people that ain’t here
Two in the air for the father that’s there
Three in the air for the kids in the ghetto
Four for the kids who don’t wanna be there
None for the niggas trying to hold them back
Five in the air for the teacher not scared to tell those kids thats living in the ghetto that the niggas holdin back that the World is theirs!
Yeah yeah, the World is yours, I was once that little boy
Terrified of the World
Now I’m on a World tour
I will give up everything, even start a world war
for these ghettos girls and boys im rapping round’ the World for!
Africa to New York, Haiti then I detour, Oakland out to Auckland
Gaza Strip to Detroit, say hip-hop only destroy
tell em’ look at me, boy!
I hope your son don’t have a gun and never be a D-boy

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
So no matter what you been through
no matter what you into
no matter what you see when you look outside your window
brown grass or green grass
picket fence or barbed wire
Never ever put them down
you just lift your arms higher
raise em till’ your arms tired
Let em’ know you’re there
That you struggling and survivin’ that you gonna persevere
Yeah, ain’t no body leavin, no body goin’ home
even if they turn the lights out the show is goin’ on!

[Chorus x2]
