Black Sheep

At twenty-two years old
22歲的時候
They're telling me I'll never make it on my own
他們告訴我，我一個人永遠不會成功
That I should leave it all behind and let it go
我應該把一切拋在腦後，讓它隨著思緒飛走
Let the industry decide my tomorrow
未來握緊在我手中
But I can feel it and I know I'm getting close
我快要感覺到勝利的光彩
I stand on stage with people singing words I wrote
站在台上清晰地看著人們熱情的伴唱
I feel the music make its way throughout their bones
就讓音樂肆無忌憚地迸發吧
So if I give it all up now I'll never know
所以如果現在我放棄一切我將永遠不知道
You know that I can't be anybody else
我不會像其他凡夫俗子一樣
I feel better when I know myself
我知悉自己的想法
You keep telling me I need your help
你總認為我需要你的協助
I won't ever need your help
不，永遠不會
No, I'll never need your help
不，永遠不會向你乞求
At twenty-three years old
一年過後……
Took just under a year to prove them wrong
我證明了自己是成功的
Now they decide they wanna listen to my songs
現在他們也開始聽我的歌
And take the credit for what I've already done
他們會願意把一切歸功於我
But everything I 've done so far I've done alone
但，這要付出多少，一個人的努力
Now they're left out leaving missed calls on my phone
多少個未接電話
Trying to cut in line for tickets to my show
他們急迫地想看我的演出
I guess I knew I had it in me all along
我明白我會一直堅定地站在自己的立場
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
你反復強調我會需要你的幫助
I won't ever need your help
但事實並非如此
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歲的小男孩
Others couldn't seem to believe 'til theymet me
其他人見到我總是那麼詫異
That's when I'd retreat to my dreams, where I'd see things
回到那時候，當我剛意識到什麼
Others couldn't see, through a beat, pen and poetry
無人知曉我所想的，但給我一個鼓點，一支筆，我就能譜寫出
Now I know I breathe for a reason
我終於明白了我為了什麼而活
Now I know I write from the mind of a teacher
在我腦中所想，通通寫下
I used to watch the sheep as they wait for a leader
羊群總等著領隊
Now I guess they found out who I am
我就是那一隻眼神堅定，強壯的黑羊
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
你反復強調我會需要你的幫助
I won't ever need your help
但事實並非如此
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
你反復強調我會需要你的幫助
I won't ever need your help
但事實並非如此
No, I'll never need your help
不，我真的不需要
