现实的 Sweetest Girl ~

Sweetest Girl

Wyclef Jean ft. Akon & Lil Wayne


Some live for the bill Some kill for the bill She wined for the bill Grind for the bill

Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay they bill

Tonight Wyclef, Akon, Weezy on the bill

High School she was that girl that make me do the

hula hoop around the gym

Never thought that she would come and work for the president

Mr. George Washington (where my money at?) She thought he’d call (where my money at?)


See I’mma tell you like who told me

Cash Rules everything around me

Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall (dollar, dollar bill yall)

Singin’ dollar dollar bill yall (dollar, dollar bill yall)

Some live for the bill

Some kill for the bill (where my money at?)

She wined for the bill

Grind for the bill (where my money at?)

Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay they bill (where my money at?)

Tonight Wyclef, Akon, Weezy on the bill

Where my money at?


很喜欢这首歌,第一次听的时候,就忍不住一直笑,这是我听过最幽默、讽刺、现实的歌了!

在此只是抽出一部分的歌词,那些听到都觉得压力的部分~ $$ $$ $$ $$

整首歌就像在讲述着一个女人故事,如何从让男生神魂颠倒的万人迷,成长到现实的社会里,成了人人敬而远之的债主,也可以说是$$$守财奴-----"Where my money at?"


因为喜欢,上youtube看了它的MV,好像又带出了另一个社会阶级的Issue意识

无法解释心理的那份悻悻然......

西方国家的歌手偶尔都会创作一些歌以反映社会实事,有时是种提醒,也是一种人民心声;相比华人社会很多时候都流行唱情歌,催眠着整个社会天天沉醉在两人世界里,只有在出现天灾的时候,才打铁乘热似的,匆匆忙忙团结起来唱个关心社会的歌,有时都不晓得他们真正的心态动机是怎样的。无论如何,The Sweetest Girls 里头的那句:


You move slow

You getting’ pressure from cops

you don’t know,and not to lay low

coz 25 to life\'s no joke

To all my real gorillas thuggin’

On top of corners every day strugglin’

All the beautiful women getting’ money

Washin\' them dollar bills like laundry


再次提醒了我,22这年纪其实也不小了,一只脚已踏入了现实的社会,很快的我也许也会开始像歌里的那女孩,面对越来越现实可怕的世界,因为不想随波逐流,所以在这之前要越来越坚强勇敢!
