I'm not a rapper I'm a singer with a flow

我不是什么饶舌歌手 只是节奏感很强的歌手

I've got a habit for spittin' quicker lyrics you know

你懂的 我能快速说唱歌词

You found me rippin' the writtens out of the pages they sit in

你会发现我能脱稿快速说唱 唱出歌词言外之意

I never want to get bitten 'cause plagiarism is hidden

才不想被模仿 但剽窃者总是暗中抄袭

Which I would sit on the rhythm prisoner with the vision

看我如何掌控旋律 书写我的节奏

Signs of a label but didn't listen to any criticism

不理会外界流言蜚语 我决然签约

Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen

还以为你了解我吧 其实不然

Studio is a system and you could say that I'm driven

就竖起你的耳朵听好 音乐室只是个你评论我跟随大流的写歌地罢了

And now it's onto the next saga we drink the best lager

我们喝着最好的啤酒 我也能立即谱曲写歌

I never tried to win you over like your stepfather

我才没想过特意讨你欢心

I do my own thing now and get respect after

我会做我自己 靠这个赢得尊重

And I'm avoidin' c*****e like it was Get Carter

我不想成为Get Carter那样的黑帮人员

For four years I never had a place to stay

四年来我一直居无定所

But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paperweight

但这让我深刻的体会到脚踏实地的踏实感

At sixteen years old yeah I moved out of my home

十六岁时我离开家

I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked

我曾想做灵魂歌者Macy Gray 我想跟家人道别却哽咽的说不出话

And went from sleepin' at a subway station

落魄的我浪迹在地铁里

To sleepin' with a movie star and addin' to the population

现在住在电影明星才能住上的豪宅里

Not my imagination I don't wanna relax

这并不是我的幻想 我不会丝毫懈怠

Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?

如果我将这故事编成歌 这会不会毁了你的名声

I take it back now

就当我没说好了

Mmm come on and take it back love

收回那些所谓的爱吧

Come on and take it back for us

这样对我们彼此都好

Don't you fade into the back love no

难道你会淡忘这一切

I take it back with the rhythm and blues

用蓝调将过去编成歌

With my rap pack I'll be singing the news

唱着新歌词

Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring 'em to school

回首往昔 还是学生时曾假装自己就是Jack Black

I'll make a beat with my feet by just hittin' a loop

我用脚来拍打节拍

Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes

I'll give you the truth through the vocal booth

透过麦克风说出自己的真情实感

And stars burst out on the scene like an Opal Fruit

像是欧宝水果软糖一样 我迅速蹿红

They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot

媒体们都争先恐后报道我 如同我就是贝克汉姆

But then again that's what they're supposed to do

但这不就是他们的本职工作吗

And I'm supposed to be calm I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm

我应该镇定自如 坦然应对 我把歌词纹上手臂

Whisperin' "Everything that happens is from now on"

告诉自己未来的一切从此刻开始

I'll be ready to start again by the end of the song

我已准备好再唱一次

And still they're claiming that I handled it wrong

他们仍批评我 说我处理的不好

But then I've never had an enemy except the NME

除了NME杂志 我从来没有什么死对头

But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be

但我这张专辑会是那杂志销售量的两倍之多

With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees

还有各种演唱会以及庆典表演都等着我

Are healthier than a dalmatian on Pedigree

放心我会注意身体 保持健康

Singing for the masses rubber dinghy rapids

为大众而唱 唱出他们的心声

I keep this rappin' a habit and keep on fashionin' magic

我习惯说唱 仍会保持这份喜爱

I'm battlin' for respect and I don't know if I have it

我会用歌声赢得尊重 但我清楚我不一定会赢到

This song's from the heart cover the planet

这首歌发自真心 就会流传甚广

I'll take it back now

我收回这些大言不惭的话

Now I don't ever wanna be perfect

我从未奢求过完美

'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless

因为我只是个歌手 不是靠外貌走红的歌手

And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed

我必须接受事实 总有人会得最差服装奖

Taking my first steps into the scene giving me focus

众人都对我太多期待 我必须专注

Puttin' on a brave face like Timothy Dalton

勇敢的面对一切 就像Timothy Dalton一样

Considerin' a name change thinkin' it was hopeless

还考虑换个艺名 总觉得那也没用

Rhymin' over recordings avoidin' tradition

歌曲注重押韵 不喜欢一成不变

'Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written

因为每一天我都会写些新歌 创作些旋律

Now absence can make your heart ache

缺席任何演出我就会心痒难耐

But drinking Absinthe can change your mind state

但喝杯苦艾酒 就会彻底改变你的想法

Vividly need to let my liver be

我也需要一些改变

And I say it again

我再说一遍

Livin' life on the edge with a closed handful of friends

生活中满是朋友 却还是觉得孤独

It's good advice from a man who took his life on the road with me

这是一个哥们的原话 他跟我一起表演的时候说的

And I hope to see him blowin' up globally

'Cause that's how it's supposed to be I'm screamin' out vocally

这是他应得的 我会真心为他欢呼

It might seem totally impossible achievin' life's dreams but

梦似乎很难实现 因为生活本身就是场梦

But I just write schemes I'm never havin' a stylist giving me tight jeans

但我已经为自己计划好了 我不需要为我提供紧身牛仔裤的造型师

Madison Square Garden is where I might be but more likely

麦迪逊广场花园会是我渴望去的地方

You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates

但更多的时候你会发现我会在和哥们聚会的包厢里

Havin' a pint with McDaid discussin' records we made

喝着酒谈论我们一起创作的专辑

And every single second knowin' that we'll never betray
