Lyrics by:Nate Feuerstein/Tommee Profitt/Cole Walowac
Composed by:Nate Feuerstein/Tommee Profitt/Cole Walowac
Clicks clicks clicks they'll do anything to get a few
他们为了得到一点关注 什么都会做
Tick tick tick that's the sound before my head explodes
嘀嗒嘀嗒 这就是我脑袋爆炸之前的声响
Quit quit quit look at you up on your pedestals
别这样 看你现在多么尊贵
Quick quick quick here the critics come it's time to go
搞快点 批评家来了 该走了
I read your article it kinda hurt me
我看了你写的文章 我有点伤心
I don't know who hired you or what your friends say in your circle
我不知道谁雇佣了你 也不知道你的朋友都对你说了什么
But the fact that you released it tells me two things are for certain
但你发布了这样一篇文章 让我确定了两件事
They get paid for trashin' people I get paid 'cause I stay workin'
他们靠着诋毁别人来挣钱 而我靠着努力工作来挣钱
Yeah
Dropped The Search and they emerge up outta nowhere to the surface
发布了《The Search》这张专辑之后 那些人突然就冒出来了
Just to peek behind the curtain throwin' salt at all my burdens
躲在幕后偷瞄 对我的作品说三道四
I'm aware I shouldn't give this my attention life's a journey
我明白 我不该太在意这些事情 人生就像一场旅途
I should just stay on my path and learn to laugh
我应该管好自己的事 学会一笑置之
You think they heard me
你以为他们听到我的声音了吗
Ears are burning put 'em out quiet quiet look around
那些声音让我的耳朵都快聋了 安静一点 不要闹
Why don't they find someone way more interesting to write about
为什么他们的文章不写那些更有趣的人呢
Us we're kinda boring aren't we all we do is whine and pout
我们有点没趣 对吧 我们整天就知道无病呻吟
It's confusing so amusing how I argue with myself
很困惑 也很搞笑 我竟然和自己争论
Hello
哈喽
I spit it with ease so leave it to me
唱歌对我来说不是难事 所以你们就不要插手了
You doubt it but you better believe
你心存怀疑 但你最好相信我
I'm on a rampage hit 'em with the record release
我现在很生气 我要用音乐来反击
Depend on the week I'm prolly gonna have to achieve
夜以继日的工作 我应该能实现我的目标
Another goal let me go when I'm over the beat
新的目标 当我认真做音乐的时候 不要阻碍我
I go into beast mode like I'm ready to feast
我会开启狂暴模式 就好像我准备享用一场饕餮盛宴
I'm fed up with these thieves tryna get me to bleed
这些盗贼让我受够了 他们都想让我流血
They wanna see me take an L
他们想看我失败
Yup see what I mean
懂我什么意思吗
How many records I gotta give you to get with the program
我要给你们出多少张唱片 才能引起你们的关注
Taken for granted I'm 'bout to give you the whole plan
被你们视作理所应当 我要给你们描绘我的整个伟大计划
Open your mind up and take a look at the blueprint
思想开阔一点 看看这宏伟的蓝图
Debate if you gotta but gotta hold it with both hands
想反驳就别犹豫 但是你得尊重我的成果
To pick up the bars you gotta be smart
要把音乐学到家 你必须得聪明
You really gotta dig in your heart
你真的得深入了解自己的内心
If you wanna get to the root of an issue
如果你想搞懂一个问题的根源
Pursuin' the mental can be dark and be difficult

But the pay off at the end of it
但最后获得的回报

前所未见 即使遭遇失败 我也镇定自若
Do the show then we hit the room wife is lookin' oh
搞演出 然后我们回到家 老婆在看着
What to do I don't need the shades up to like the view

It's time to get back in the swing of things

When my life crashes I'm not the guy that'll flee the scene
即使我的人生遇到黑暗时刻 我也绝不会逃避
I'll take ownership and own it and raise my hand if it's me
我会承担起自己的责任 努力经营 重回正轨
Just remember though I'm only a man I'm a human being
不过你们别忘了 我也只是人 我也是个凡人
Don't they see shoot the breeze I'd rather just stay discrete
他们不明白吗 闲聊一通 我宁愿闭口不言
People claim they're in your corner but leave you in times of need
有些人说他们支持你 关键时刻却又抛下你
They don't listen do they
他们根本不懂得倾听 对吧

I'll accept advice if it's not presented ignorantly
如果别人给的建议不是愚昧无知的 那我会接受
Look costs are high they multiply then cause divides
代价很高昂 愈演愈烈 最后会造成分歧
I'm forced to fight the poison I been
我被逼无奈 只能反抗
Sippin' on has quite the bite it killed me twice
我尝过的毒药 真的很可怕 让我走了两次鬼门关
They rigged the lights so y'all can see the parts of mine
他们偷偷摸摸地作假 所以你看我的光芒
That aren't so bright see often I apologize
并没有他们那样耀眼 我常常低声下气地道歉
Then authorize the awful times to pop up
自己给自己招来可怕的事情

Like I'm right behind you I'd advise you not to try to
我就在你的身后 我建议你不要像我一样
Climb inside the mind like I do
给人生留下太多遗憾
Keep the rhyme book expedite it overnight it
认真学习音乐 夜以继日 加速前行
Hold it tight and hope that time is on my side
坚持不懈 但愿这世界不会辜负我的努力
'Cause if it's not then I'll decide to override
因为如果命运不公 那我必须要推翻命运
My own demise I tow the line too close and I
命运该由我自己掌控 我太过于听天由命
Could improvise I'd empathize but recognize

The fact that I could jeopardize and wreck your lives
