今天要介紹的是由美國Rap界的巨頭

50 Cent、Eminem以及Maroon 5主唱Adam Levine

攜手合作的作品－My Life。

50 Cent於2012年11月以單曲形式發行這首歌。

歌曲本身在講述對於現實生活的無奈，

以及在低潮時如何重新站起來。

整首歌以50 Cent與Eminem對話的形式呈現，

乍聽之下只是單純的在抱怨生活，

但仔細品味之後會發覺其中意義深遠。

50 Cent和Eminem分別在歌詞中講述自身的低潮，

並靠著不服輸的精神挺了過來。

我認為50 Cent在這首歌中的表現不能說不好，

只是另外兩位實在太過搶眼。

Eminem那段可以說為整首歌增添了很多亮點，

而Adam擔任主旋律的演唱，

獨特的嗓音也讓整首歌更飽滿。

MV拍攝的手法也很棒，

利用光影交錯和追逐手法，

直升機代表了現實生活，

而無論多麼努力的想逃離，

最終也是無路可逃。

編曲部分與一般以Rap為主軸的編曲沒有什麼不同，

前期利用聖歌式的合聲開場雖不常見，但並不特別。

而後整首歌用大量的鼓點敲出節奏，

背景用貝斯和電子樂器打底，

也加入了少量的電子鋼琴音。

主旋律部分則由Adam一肩扛起。

真正令人讚賞的是各段落Rap間停頓的點，

有讓人眼睛為之一亮的效果。

以上。

希望你/妳喜歡今天的音樂。

My Life - 50 Cent ft. Eminem, Adam Levine

(That's what I think he said...)
My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion, it's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

Yeah, '03 I went from quite filthy to filthy rich
Man their emotions change so I can never trust a bitch
I tried to help niggas get on, they turned around and spit
Right in my face, so Game and Buck, both can suck a dick
Now when you hear 'em it may sound like it's some other shit
Cause I'm not writing anymore, they not making hits
I'm far from perfect, there's so many lessons I done learned
If money's evil look at all the evil I done earned
I'm doing what I'm supposed to
I'm a writer, I'm a fighter, entrepreneur
Fresh out the sewer, watch me maneuver, what's it to you?
The track I lace it, it's better than basic
This is my recovery, my comeback kid

My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

While you were sipping your own kool-aid getting your buzz heavy
I was in the fucking shed sharpening my machete
Sipping on some of that revenge juice, getting my taste buds ready
To whoop down this spaghetti, or should I say this spa-get-even?
I think you fucking meatballs keep on just forgetting
Thought he was finished, motherfucker, it's only the beginning
He's buggin' again, he's straight thuggin', fuck who he's offending
He'll rip your vocal chords out and have them bitches plugged in the
Motherfucking wall with 3000 volts of electricity
Now take the other end of 'em then plug them, motherfuckers in each
One of your eye sockets cause I thought you might finally fucking see
That'll teach you to go voicing your cocksuckin' opinion to me
I done put my blood, my sweat and my tears in this shit
Fuck letting up, you're gonna end up regretting you ever betted against me
Feels like I'mma snap any minute, yeah, it's happening again
I'm thinking about the same
Motherfucker everybody that's up in this bitch, but 50!
Cause this is all I know, this is why so hard I go
I swear to God I put my heart and soul into this more than anybody knows
I'm trapped, so all I do is rap, but every time I rap I'm more trapped
And I rap myself right into this bubble, oh oh, I guess it's bubble wrap
It's like a vicious cycle, my life's in a crisis
Christ, how was I supposed to know shit would turn out like it did?
Feels like I'm going psycho again
And I might just blow my lid
Shit, I almost wish that I would have never made Recovery, kid
Cause I'm running in circles with

My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try

I haven't been this fucking confused since I was a kid
Sold like 40 million records, people forgot what I did
Maybe this is for me, maybe
Maybe I'm supposed to go crazy
Maybe I'll do it 3 AM in the morning like Shady (hah)
> Psycho killer, Michael Myers, I'm on fire like a lighter
Tryna say this ain't classic, get your ass kicked
Mad quick, wrap your head up in plastic
Pussy, now pick the casket, dirt nap with the maggots
It's tragic, it's sad it's
Never gonna end, now we number one again
With that frown on your face, and your heart full of hate
Accept it, respect it
This a gift God given like the air in the lungs
Of every fucking thing livin'

My life, my life
Makes me wanna run away
But there's no place to go, no place to go
All the confusion,
It's an illusion
Like a movie, got nowhere to go
Nowhere to run and hide,
No matter how hard I try
