you got a dream,you gotta protect it.为什么用过去时？gotta是什么？

Answer 1

You got a dream，you gotta protect it.
如果你有梦想,你就必须得保护它。

这里用got其实是因为句子有虚拟语气的意思：假如你有梦想的话，你就必须……

gotta =(have)got a =(have)got to
adv. 必须（等于have got to）
Gotta is used in written English to represent the words "got to" when they are pronounced informally, with the meaning "have to" or "must." 必须

【例】
1.Prices are high and our kids gotta eat.
物价很高而我们的孩子们又必须吃饭。

2.I've gotta finish this batch by tomorrow.
明天之前我必须做完这批处理。

3.Ok, tell me and, I guess I gotta tell you… another point that this same equation.
好的，告诉我，我想我必须告诉你们同一个方程的另一个解。
