[00:23.440] How much a dollar really cost?
[00:25.050] The question is detrimental paralyzin' my thoughts
[00:27.640] Parasites in my stomach keep me with a good feeling y'all
[00:30.350] Gotta see how I'm chillin' once I park this luxury car
[00:33.080] Hopping out feeling big as Mutombo
[00:34.860] 20 on pump six dirty Marcellus called me Dumbo
[00:37.490] 20 years ago can't forget
[00:39.130] Now I can lend all my ear or two how to stack these residuals
[00:41.930] Tenfold the liberal concept of what men'll do
[00:44.750] 20 on 6 he didn't hear me
[00:46.530] Indigenous African only spoke Zulu
[00:48.390] My American tongue was slurry
[00:50.230] Walked out the gas station
[00:51.310] A homeless man with a silly tan complexion
[00:53.480] Asked me for ten grand
[00:54.470] Stressin' about dry land
[00:56.220] Deep water powder blue skies that crack open
[00:58.220] A piece of crack that he wanted I knew he was smokin'
[01:00.770] He begged and pleaded
[01:01.630] Asked me to feed him twice I didn't believe it
[01:03.550] Told him "Beat it"
[01:04.680] Contributin' money just for his pipe I couldn't see it
[01:07.210] He said "My son temptation is one thing that I've defeated
[01:10.630] Listen to me I want a single bill from you
[01:13.140] Nothin' less nothin' more
[01:14.560] I told him I ain't have it and closed my door
[01:16.580] Tell me how much a dollar cost
[01:17.880]
[01:20.790] It's more to feed your mind
[01:25.180]
[01:26.140] Water sun and love the one you love
[01:32.040]
[01:32.930] All you need the air you breathe
[01:37.870]
[01:39.700] He's starin' at me in disbelief
[01:41.580] My temper is buildin' he's starin' at me I grab my key
[01:44.310] He's starin' at me I started my car and tried to leave
[01:46.820] And somethin' told me to keep it in park until I could see
[01:49.550] A reason why he was mad at a stranger like
[01:51.400] I was supposed to save him
[01:52.700] Like I'm the reason he's homeless and askin' me for a favor
[01:55.660] He's starin' at me his eyes followed me with no laser
[01:58.350] He's starin' at me I notice that his stare is contagious
[02:01.200] Cause now I'm starin' back at him feelin' some type of disrespect
[02:04.010] If I could throw a bat at him it'd be aimin' at his neck
[02:06.790] I never understood someone beggin' for goods
[02:09.510] Askin' for handouts takin' it if they could
[02:12.100] And this particular person just had it down pat
[02:14.580] Starin' at me for the longest until he finally asked
[02:17.550] Have you ever opened to Exodus 14?
[02:19.880] A humble man is all that we ever need
[02:21.990] Tell me how much a dollar cost
[02:23.530]
[02:26.060] It's more to feed your mind
[02:30.540]
[02:31.630] Water sun and love the one you love
[02:37.800]
[02:38.350] All you need the air you breathe
[02:43.680]
[02:45.520] Guilt trippin' and feelin' resentment
[02:47.320] I never met a transient that demanded attention
[02:49.860] They got me frustrated indecisive and power trippin'
[02:52.570] Sour emotions got me lookin' at the universe different
[02:55.370] I should distance myself I should keep it relentless
[02:58.100] My selfishness is what got me here who the fuck I'm kiddin'?
[03:00.920] So I'ma tell you like I told the last bum crumbs and pennies
[03:03.680] I need all of mines and I recognize this type of panhandlin' all the time
[03:07.410] I got better judgement I know when nigga's hustlin'
[03:09.480] Keep in mind when I was strugglin' I did compromise
[03:12.250] Now I comprehend I smell grandpa's old medicine
[03:14.920] Reekin' from your skin moonshine and gin
[03:17.190] Nigga your babblin' your words ain't flatterin' I'm imaginin'
[03:20.070] Denzel be lookin' at O'Neal
[03:22.350] Cause now I'm in sad thrills your gimmick is mediocre the jig is up
[03:25.750] I seen you from a mile away losin' focus
[03:27.830] And I'm insensitive and I lack empathy
[03:30.440] You looked at me and said "Your potential is bittersweet"
[03:33.070] I looked at him and said "Every nickel is mines to keep"
[03:35.790] He looked at me and said "Know the truth it'll set you free
[03:38.560] You're lookin' at the Messiah the son of Jehova the higher power
[03:41.640] The choir that spoke the word the Holy Spirit the nerve
[03:44.680] Of Nazareth and I'll tell you just how much a dollar cost
[03:47.280] The price of having a spot in Heaven embrace your loss I am God"
[03:50.680]
[03:51.520] I wash my hands I said my grace what more do you want from me?
[03:56.270]
[03:57.230] Tears of a clown guess I'm not all what is meant to be
[04:01.790]
[04:02.420] Shades of grey will never change if I condone
[04:06.810]
[04:07.950] Turn this page help me change so right my wrongs
[00:23.440] 一美元到底价值几何
[00:25.050] 这问题是如此让人不安 令我的思绪瘫痪
[00:27.640] 胃里的寄生虫让我感觉难受至极
[00:30.350] 那一天我在南非开着豪车到处转悠
[00:33.080] 下车时感觉自己比穆大叔还高
[00:34.860] 加20美元6号加油枪 我把耳朵竖起来就像小飞象一样
[00:37.490] 那是20年前 难忘的童年记忆
[00:39.130] 我把耳朵竖起来 以防加油的时候缺斤短两
[00:41.930] 他加了十倍 想当然的认为我是这么说的
[00:44.750] 我说加20块钱6号油枪 而服务员似乎听不懂
[00:46.530] 非洲土著只会说祖鲁语
[00:48.390] 我的语言在此显得如此无力
[00:50.230] 迈步走出加油站
[00:51.310] 看见了一个流浪汉 肌肤晒得黝黑
[00:53.480] 想问我要10兰特(南非货币,一美元=15兰特)
[00:54.470] 他说他已穷困潦倒
[00:56.220] 他瞳孔放大 一看就是个瘾君子
[00:58.220] 他需要的就是** 我知道他肯定是的
[01:00.770] 他不停地向我乞讨
[01:01.630] 乞求我再给他一次机会 但我始终无法相信他
[01:03.550] 告诉他别再打扰我
[01:04.680] 我不愿看见他利用我的施舍去满足他的毒瘾
[01:07.210] 他说"兄弟 我已击败了人世间的所有诱惑"
[01:10.630] ‘听我一言 我只想要这一张钞票’
[01:13.140] ‘一分不多 也一分不少
[01:14.560] 我告诉他我没有 然后冷漠地关上车门
[01:16.580] 请告诉我 一美元到底价值几何?
[01:20.790] 上帝视角:精神食粮重于物质的需求
[01:26.140] 水阳光和爱 你所爱的人
[01:32.930] 以及呼吸的空气 就是你所需要的一切
[01:39.700] 他用质疑的眼神望着我
[01:41.580] 他继续注视着我 这激发了我的怒气 我拿出钥匙
[01:44.310] 他继续注视着我 我发动了车子并准备离开
[01:46.820] 一种奇怪的感觉让我想留在原地 我想探个究竟
[01:49.550] 为何他会为了一个陌生人而如此生气
[01:51.400] 就好像我有义务去拯救他
[01:52.700] 就好像我是造成他无家可归的原因 他乞求我的帮助
[01:55.660] 他似乎毫无光芒的眼睛继续注视着我
[01:58.350] 我突然注意到他的眼神竟如此有感染力
[02:01.200] 我再次瞪他一眼 突然感觉到了一些不尊重
[02:04.010] 如果我能用棍子打他 肯定会瞄准他的脖子
[02:06.790] 我从来不能理解向别人乞讨的人
[02:09.510] 一味索要施舍 并得以自用
[02:12.100] 而眼前的这个人似乎很擅长这么做
[02:14.580] 他一直注视着我 直到他终于开口
[02:17.550] ‘你看过圣经Exodus第十四章吗?’
[02:19.880] ‘一个谦虚的君子才是我们所需要的人’
[02:21.990] 请告诉我 一美元到底价值几何?
[02:26.060] 上帝视角:精神食粮重于物质的需求
[02:31.630] 水阳光和爱 你所爱的人
[02:38.350] 以及呼吸的空气 就是你所需要的一切
[02:45.520] 我的内心突然感到内疚和怨恨
[02:47.320] 从未遇到这样的流浪汉 让我不得不引起重视
[02:49.860] 这让我感到沮丧而犹豫 大脑突然出现了空挡
[02:52.570] 这尴尬的情绪让我重新看待和理解这个世界
[02:55.370] 我应该更远离他 应该更加凶狠果断
[02:58.100] 我的自私让我拥有了现在的一切 我并没开玩笑
[03:00.920] 所以我会告诉你 就像我只剩下最后一点食物和钞票
[03:03.680] 我需要我的每一分钱 这种乞讨行为不会让我上当
[03:07.410] 我有更高的价值判断 我深知生活的不易
[03:09.480] 当我在底层挣扎时我也曾经妥协 现在我领会了
[03:12.250] 你身上发出的恶臭 让我仿佛闻到了祖母的药味
[03:14.920] 哥们儿你肯定在撒谎
[03:17.190] 丝毫没有阿谀奉承的意思
[03:20.070] 你和我想象中的乞讨者根本不同
[03:22.350] 乞讨者应该是脆弱无助的 而你的手法并不新鲜
[03:25.750] 我在一英里之外就看见你精力根本不在乞讨上
[03:27.830] 我就是如此自私和冷漠 也没有同情心
[03:30.440] 他看着我说道‘年轻人你的光辉的表面下存在着危机’
[03:33.070] 我也看着他说道‘我的每一分钱都属于我自己’
[03:35.790] 他又说道‘如果知晓真相 会让你重获自由’
[03:38.560] ‘站在你面前的是耶和华之子 伟大的救世主’
[03:41.640] ‘唱诗班赞美的诗歌 神圣的灵魂 Nazareth的神经’
[03:44.680] ‘让我来告诉你一美元到底价值几何’
[03:47.280] ‘一美元代表天堂的一席之地 那将宽恕你的罪行 我就是上帝’
[03:51.520] 忏悔:我洗净双手 赞颂恩典 你还想从我这夺走什么?
[03:57.230] 流下小丑的眼泪 我想这并不是我的初衷
[04:02.420] 如果我继续放纵 灰暗的影子就永远不会退散
[04:07.950] 请翻过这一页 助我改过自新 洗清我的罪恶
