Tribe - Bas with J. Cole / ｛トライブ- バス ft. J.コール｝
こ、これは、もう一押し！！！
本当に幸せを感じる曲です。夏にぴったりの曲です。
マラカスやギターのの安定なビートがまるで南国に連れてきてくれた気分にさせてくれます。ラップにしては温かみのある楽曲だと思います。
J.Cole と Bas。J. Cole はもはや米ラップ界では5本の指に入る実力者ではないでしょうか。正直、Basもなかなかいいと僕的には思います。もっと、有名でもいいのになあって。
さてさた、なぜこの曲がとても好きなのか。
その理由は二つあります。
①
I think I made it, I think I made it
たどり着いたと思う、たどり着いたと思うんだ
'Cause I'm always smiling, and you are the reason now
だっていつも笑顔いれて、君のおかげなんだ
Girl, I can't explain it
説明はできないけど
It's all in the timing, I had to get low
タイミングが全てで、うまくいかないときだってあった
I had to get low
でもうまくいかない時期こそが大事だったんだ
I had to get back, I had to report
でも戻ってきた、報告をしに
I had to get facts 'cause you are just that, you that
事実を手に入れに来た、君こそが事実だからね
Girl, you share your truths with me
君の本心を教えてくれて
And I find them true, amused, you in the booth with me
それに共感して興味をそそられ、君は今ここにともにいる
まずは、Basのさびでしょうか？
僕的には、本当に人を「好き」になるってこんな感じなのかと思います。
説明はできないけど、一緒にいるだけで本当に楽しい。
そして、その人の存在というかあり方が自分の山を越えるカギになる。
この曲を聴くと大切な人への感謝の気持ちが倍増する気がします。
②
I thought He was through with me, but that wasn't true
神様は僕を見放したと思っていたけど、それは嘘
The proof? You in the coupe with me
証拠かい？君がこのクープ（車）にいることさ
God shuffled the cards, dealt me a hand with impossible odds
神様はカードゲームで不可能なカードばかりを渡してきた
Put an obstacle course up
障害物コースのような
Look, and I conquered them all (conquered them all)
でも、全て乗り越えた
With minimal effort, I'm fresher than sock in your drawer (fuck)
軽く、きみのタンスに入っている靴下よりもフレッシュさ
They spinning my records so heavy, I'm topping the Forbes
みんなでぼくのレコードをプレイして、フォーブス誌のトップにもいる
Stuck in a rock in a hard place though
でも、それでも難しいところさ
Is it true what they say? The higher you go, the longer the fall?
高みを見たほど下りが長いっていうけど本当かい？
Well I dropped to the floor then knocking the door was on queue
まあ、本当に落ちてドアを叩いていたら
I thought that I saw it all 'til I saw you
君に出会ったから乗り越えたってことだろう
この J.Coleのラップの部分も好きなんですな。
神様とのカードゲームと例えるところとかうまいなあ、と感嘆してしまいます。
This one's for you
This one's for you
I think I made it
This one's for you
I think I made it
I think I made it, I think I made it
'Cause I'm always smiling, and you are the reason now
Girl, I can't explain it

I had to get facts 'cause you are just that, you that
Girl, you share your truths with me
And I find them true, amused, you in the booth with me
Can't spoil time on nickeling and diming
I got me a girl, she don't want no diamonds
A daily reminder to holler at God
Like where did you find her? Good looking, my nigga
Everything 'round me I took it
Did it with only the niggas I knew
And a few niggas I thought I knew better
There go my bitches, I always do better
But, you're more top echelon
My next probably be a step backwards
Niggas front when they get struck with love
Like in drama, they used to be the best actors
I'm done with all that tough acting
John Madden when I saw it happen, and so it happens
My niggas want life's good things, they still dreaming
And you deserve them too, I'ma do it just so it happens

I'm hella faded, I'm hella faded
These niggas been hating, I don't know the reason now
Sometimes I feel jaded
They don't see the real me
They only know Cole, they only know Co-ole
I had to get back, I had to resort to turning my back
I'm doing just that, true that
I thought He was through with me, but that wasn't true
The proof? You in the coupe with me
God shuffled the cards, dealt me a hand with impossible odds
Put an obstacle course up
Look, and I conquered them all (conquered them all)

Stuck in a rock in a hard place though
Is it true what they say? The higher you go, the longer the fall?
Well I dropped to the floor then knocking the door was on queue
I thought that I saw it all 'til I saw you
Now I call you when the sun shines and the rain dries up
I'm a pit bull, but for you I be on chain tied up (one more time)
In the backyard with a muzzle on tail wagging like Oregon Trail
Waiting on you to come through just like you do, well
