I'm not afraid to take a stand

我不害怕表达我的想法

Everybody come take my hand

众人信念，与我并肩

We'll walk this road together, through the storm

我们会齐心前进，逆风雨

Whatever weather, cold or warm

无论严寒或酷暑

Just let you know that, you're not alone

只想让你知道，你并不孤独

Hola if you feel that you've been down the same road

如果你和我同路你来叫我一声

ah, It's been a ride... Yeah

这真是一段不平凡的旅程

I guess i had to go to that place to get to this one

我想为了这个我不得不需要到那个地方去

Now some of you might still be in that place

而现在你们中的一部份人仍然在那儿

If you're trying to get out, just follow me

如果你想离开，请跟着我

I'll get you there

我会带你到那儿

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ' em

你可以费尽心思在我开始之前阅读我的歌词

But you won't take the sting out these words before I say ' em

但你无法感受这些词句带来的蜇痛感，在我说出口之前

Cause ain't no way I'm let you stop me from causing mayhem

你要知道想阻挡我惹事是不可能的

When I say ' em or do something I do it, I don't give a damn

我恣意妄为，什么都不在乎

What you think, I'm doing this for me, so fuck the world

随你怎么想，我为自己而活，所以不管这个世界

Feed it beans, it's gassed up, if a thing's stopping me

若这个世界认为它可以阻止我我会让他吃烤豆，让它乱成一锅粥

I'm ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly

我都会毋庸置疑地坚持下去

And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony

那些高处俯视我的人们，我要拆了你的阳台

No if ands or buts don't try to ask him why or how can he

没有那些如果或者也不用试着问他有什么借口

From Infinite down to the last Relapse album he's still shit and

最开始的 Infinite到上一张 Relapse专辑

Whether he's on salary, paid hourly

无论他是否按小时收钱，他依旧那么怂

Until he bows out or he shit's his bowels out of him

直到他退休或者遭受穿肠之殇

Whichever comes first, for better or worse

无论先后，也无论好坏

He's married to the game, like a fuck you for christmas

他都娶定了这场游戏，就如耶稣诞辰的诅咒

His gift is a curse, forget the earth he's got the urge

他的天赋就是诅咒，撇开尘世

To pull his dick from the dirt and fuck the whole universe

Ok quit playin ' with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap

停止玩这些东西，废话少说

I shouldn't have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it's a rap

我本不该给这些文字节奏，从而让你知道这是饶舌

You said you was king, you lied through your teeth

你说你曾是王！你彻底在胡说

For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you're getting capped

为这我决定不给你留情面，你不可能被加冕，你只扣了一个烂帽子

And to the fans, I'll never let you down again, I'm back

还有我的歌迷们，我不会再让你们失望，我回来了

I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact

事实上我发誓我不会再离开了

Let's be honest, that last Relapse CD was" ehhhh"

实话实说， Realapse的 CD引来哗然一片

Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground

可能是我的那些奇怪假音用的太多太滥

Relax, I ain't going back to that now

放心，我不是想打退堂鼓

All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW

我现在只想说，我回来了

Cause I ain't playin ' around

因为我玩够了

There's a game called circle and I don't know how

有个叫圆圈的游戏我从来都不会玩

I'm way too up to back down

我现在所处的地方太高没可能下降

But I think I'm still tryna figure this crap out

但是我还在试着把这些谜团都解开

Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn't

我本以为我已计划部署的很好，但我想我还没有真的做到

This fucking black cloud's still follow's me around

这该死的阴云还是笼罩着我

But it's time to exorcise these demons

现在是时候让这些恶魔做有氧运动的时候了

These motherfuckers are doing jumping jacks now!

这些混蛋现在做跳起举臂的健身操呢

And I just can't keep living this way

我不能再这么活了

So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage

从今天开始，我要挣脱枷锁

I'm standing up, Imma face my demons

我要站起来去面对这些恶魔

I'm manning up, Imma hold my ground

我正武装起来，坚持自己的立场

I've had enough, now I'm so fed up

我已经受够了，对这些忍无可忍了

Time to put my life back together right now

现在该是我重新开始的时候了

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me

我决定理清这一切，就为自己

Admittedly i probably did it subliminally for you

应该说我可能是下意识的为了你们

So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through

所以我会以一个崭新的我回归，你们帮助我看清了自己

And don't even realize what you did, believe me you

却没有意识到你们对我所做的，你们相信我

I‘ ve been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger

我中过圈套，但是面对我竖起的中指他们无可作为

I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of

我想我的眼睛湿润了，我感觉到了就是王者！

My world, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead

在我的世界里，仇恨者像是无刺的蜂，只能死去

No more brief lingers, no more drama from now on, I promise

我保证，不再有那些短暂的徘徊和哗众取宠了

To focus soley on handling my responsibility's as a father

现在我会集中注意力去尽我作为父亲的责任

So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it

所以我庄严的发誓对待这个，对待这次机会会像我对待女儿一样努力

You couldn't lift a single shingle lonely

严丝合缝，谁也不能入侵

Cause the way I feel， I'm strong enough to go to the club

我感觉我已经强大到可以涉足圈子

Put a corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up

不会被困住，就是烈酒也能一口闷下

Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon

因为我提高了门槛，追求完美

But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and

但我忙着尽善尽美，我感到惊奇
