Turn my mic up louder, I got to say somethin.
打開我的麥克風轉大聲仔細聽我說
Light weight step it aside, when we comin.
當我們來時輕量級選手們就通通讓開
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin.
用你的胸膛一起感應音節砰然跳動
People on the street, they panic and start running.
街上的人們該開始慌張不停奔跑
Words on loose leaf, sheet complete coming.
腦中活頁紙上的字句下載完畢
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme of dumping.
我打開思緒召喚我傾倒的詞韻
Feeling the blind, I promise to let the sun in.
治癒矇蔽我承諾要讓陽光灑落
Sick of the dark ways, we march to the drumming.
對於按照鼓聲節奏行軍的無知方式
Jump when they tell us they want to see jumping.

Risk something. Take backwards yours
冒險吧奪回本來就屬於你的
Say something that you know they might attack you for

cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before.

Like a stupid standing for what I'm standing for.

Like this war is really just a different brand of war.
好像這場戰爭只是名目不同的另一場戰爭
Like a dozen catered rich and an abandoned poor.

Like they understand you in the back of the jet, When you can't put gas in your tank.
好像他們很了解你就像當你無法加滿你的油箱
These fuckers are laughing their wayto the bank and cashing their check
這些混蛋一路笑著到銀行兌現他們的支票
asking you to have compassion and to have some respect.

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day in the living room laughing
最後全世界在客廳裡看著笑說
like what do we say?

In my living room watching, But I am not laughing.

Another kid my age drugged under a G,
另一個與他同年齡的小孩在吉普車下吸毒
Taking about and found later under a tree,
還有一個被遭綑綁最後在樹下獲救
I wonder if he thought the next one could be me.

A little red cover with a broken spine.

In the back he hand wrote a quote inside,

when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.

With hands held high into a sky so blue
雙手高舉迎向湛藍天空
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.
像大海張開大口將你吞噬
