Never do what they do what they do what they do

Never do what they do what they do what they do

绝不随波逐流 效仿他们的所作所为

Yo yo lost generation fast pace nation

迷失的一代 快节奏的国度

World population confront their frustration

芸芸众生 直面内心挫败

The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken

真正嘻哈精神已被抛弃

It's all contractual and about money making

只剩商业合约与金钱游戏

Pretend to be cats don't seem to know their limitations

装腔作势之辈 不知天高地厚

Exact replication and false representation

拙劣模仿 虚伪做作

You wanna be a man then stand your own

想当个男人就站稳脚跟

To mc requires skills I demand some shown

说唱需要真本事 我要看到证明

I let the frauds keep fronting

让那些冒牌货继续装模作样

And roam like a celluar phone far from home

像部离家太远的手机四处游荡

Giving crowds what they wanted

给观众他们想要的

Offical hip-hop consumption the 5th dumping

官方嘻哈消费 第五次倾销

Keeping you party jumping wit an original something

用原创让你派对继续嗨

Yo I dedicate this to the one dimensional

这首歌献给那些肤浅的人

No imagination excuse for perpetration

缺乏创意却总在找借口

Joke's for you

We heard your biting a** crew but uh

Never do what they do what they do what they do

绝不随波逐流 效仿他们的所作所为

Never do what they do what they do what they do

Thin is the line of between love and hatred

爱与恨的界限如此模糊

The game is ill-natured it's nothing sacred

Hey yo it's funny when I see some rap niggaz do the making

看着某些说唱艺人装模作样真是可笑

Of you would blow up or go as far as they can take it

他们要么昙花一现 要么随波逐流

My nine to five is just to hit ya get the party live

我的日常就是点燃现场引爆派对

I'm black thought used to rap for sport

我是Black Thought 曾经为乐趣而说唱

Now the rhymes in went pay a life support

如今押韵已成为我的生命支柱

I take it very seriously within this industry

It's various crews that try to touch me

But I come with the beautiful thing

And I bless the track plushly

Around the world the crowds love me from doing tours

巡演足迹遍布全球 观众为我疯狂

Recepient of applause from you and yours

Airplanes and trains

Short days and long nights

短暂的白昼与漫长的黑夜

Keyboards and mics

Bass chords and drum kicks

贝斯和弦与鼓点轰鸣

And my mental thick to hit my head like brick

思绪如砖块般沉重撞击我的头颅

As I embark on a mission welcoming to the dark

当我踏上征程 迎接黑暗的洗礼

When I first spark the arts when's the listening start

Open your head wide and let the thought inside

敞开你的心扉 让思想涌入
