Cailin Russo-Phoenix (remix)（路人甲 R. O. G. remix）

When for the first time, I wrote that first line, made up my first rhyme,
當我第一次寫下歌詞創作韻腳
Went from looking at great names to trying to earn mine?
從仰望偉人到想成為偉人
I thought I had whatever it takes,
我當時以為自己可以做到
I thought my life would have gotten a little better with age.
我以為生活會隨著時間變好
Although I wondered, cause look at the clock,
但是我懷疑過因為看看時鐘
day after day the hands return to the same spot, unchanging, monotonous.
一天又一天指針都只會走上之前的老路
Those before me has taught me that some things never pay off.
先行者告訴我不是所有付出都會有回報
And some dreams are just dreams, no matter what I do or say now.
有些夢想只是夢想不論我如何努力
But look, I'm not afraid of the fall, I haven't begun to fly
但是我並不害怕跌落雲端因為我還未飛翔
And my back is against the wall. And it's all
我一無所有所以我決定全力拼搏
Or nothing, I told fate that I'm calling its bluff and
我告訴命運我偏不信邪
Tomorrow the clock is striking another dawn
明天的時鐘將迎來新的朝陽

So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
今日你將一敗塗地或展翅高飛
You gotta conquer the monsters in your head and then you'll fly
摒棄雜念才能勝利
Fly, phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！
It's time for a new empire
新的時代已經來臨了
Go bury your demons, and tear down the ceiling
送別你的過去，迎接你的將來
Phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！

Bury my demons, huh? Easier said than done.
埋葬心中惡魔? 這事情易說難做
It's easier just to turn away and run.
更加輕鬆的選擇會是掉頭逃跑
It's easier just to say that there were none until they finally come.
或者拒不承認那些惡魔存在
It's easier just to wait until I'm finally numb.
或者靜候我內心麻木的一天
It's hard to know doubts, know that I never have no doubts,
而困難的是承認自我懷疑承認迷茫
And still being able to keep on walking this old route.
卻仍舊繼續我之前的方向
To ask myself every day, what's the reason I do this
每天問著自己我為何堅持
And will I ever succeed? And do I even know how?
我能否成功我有無希望
Maybe I'm just stubborn for holding on to the hope
可能我只是過於固執的樂觀了
Or maybe I'll turn these straws into a rope. But I know that
但我想把最後的稻草化作救命的纜繩
If I never try, my demons would never die,
我知道如果我不嘗試我的惡魔就不會離去
I'll get out alive, in the end, this is my road.
我會成功活在我的道路上的

So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
今日你將一敗塗地或展翅高飛
You gotta conquer the monsters in your head and then you'll fly
摒棄雜念才能勝利
Fly, phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！
It's time for a new empire
新的時代已經來臨了
Go bury your demons, and tear down the ceiling
送別你的過去，迎接你的將來
Phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！

I don't care about if I can do this for a living
我並不在意我是否能夠把還好變為工作
I just care about if I can do this as long as I'm living
我只在意能否一直把說唱做下去
See, my hope wasn't the goal, that hope would have been a prison
因為我想要的不是目的地因為那隻會是囚籠
Instead I hoped for the journey and a life-long expedition.
我想要去目的地的過程我愛這漫長的遠征
This is the reason I'm in this; this is the gift I'm given,
這是我做說唱的原因這是上天賜我的禮物
That I can speak to the world, and the world would sit and listen
我能向世界發聲世界也會洗耳恭聽
And I'll keep rapping, I'll keep writing my lines and my rhymes
我會繼續說唱繼續寫我的詞我的韻腳
Like when I did it for the first time.
就像當年一如既往
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
今日你將一敗塗地或展翅高飛
You gotta conquer the monstersin your head and then you’ll fly
摒棄雜念才能勝利
Fly, phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！
It's time for a new empire
新的時代已經來臨了
Go bury your demons, and tear down the ceiling
送別你的過去，迎接你的將來
Phoenix fly!
高飛吧，鳳凰！
