Black Sheep
At twenty-two years old
22岁的时候
They're telling me I'll never make it on my own
他们告诉我，我一个人永远不会成功
That I should leave it all behind and let it go
我应该把一切抛在脑后，让它随着思绪飞走
Let the industry decide my tomorrow
未来握紧在我手中
But I can feel it and I know I'm getting close
我快要感觉到胜利的光彩
I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote
站在台上清晰地看着人们热情的伴唱
I feel the music make its way throughout their bones
就让音乐肆无忌惮地迸发吧
So if I give it all up now I'll never know
所以如果现在我放弃一切我将永远不知道
You know that I can't be anybody else
我不会像其他凡夫俗子一样
I feel better when I know myself
我知悉自己的想法
You keep telling me I need your help
你总认为我需要你的协助
I won't ever need your help
不，永远不会
No, I'll never need your help
不，永远不会向你乞求
At twenty-three years old
一年过后……
Took just under a year to prove them wrong
我证明了自己是成功的
Now they decide they wanna listen to my songs
现在他们也开始听我的歌
And take the credit for what I've already done
他们会愿意把一切归功于我
But everything I've done so far I've done alone
但，这要付出多少，一个人的努力
Now they're left out leaving missed calls on my phone
多少个未接电话
Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show
他们急迫地想看我的演出
I guess I knew I had it in me all along
我明白我会一直坚定地站在自己的立场
You know that I can't be anybody else
我不是“其他人”
I feel better when I know myself
我就是我
You keep telling me I need your help
你反复强调我会需要你的帮助
I won't ever need your help
但事实并非如此
No, I'll never need your help
不，我真的不需要
I was told when I was thirteen I could do things
13岁的小男孩
Others couldn't seem to believe 'til they met me
其他人见到我总是那么诧异
That's when I'd retreat to my dreams, where I'd see things
回到那时候，当我刚意识到什么
Others couldn't see, through a beat, pen and poetry
无人知晓我所想的，但给我一个鼓点，一支笔，我就能谱写出
Now I know I breathe for a reason
我终于明白了我为了什么而活
Now I know I write from the mind of a teacher
在我脑中所想，通通写下
I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader
羊群总等着领队
Now I guess they found out who I am
我就是那一只眼神坚定，强壮的黑羊
You know that I can't be anybody else
我不是“其他人”
I feel better when I know myself
我就是我
You keep telling me I need your help
你反复强调我会需要你的帮助
I won't ever need your help

你反复强调我会需要你的帮助
I won't ever need your help
但事实并非如此
