[Chorus]

Mama told me not to listen to rumors

I know how to groove when i step in the room

Daddy taught me to be quiet and honest

Don’t talk on my progress just speak with my moves

妈妈叫我别去听着他诈语

走进了房间我会去跳个舞

爸爸教我怎么保持好态度

不用吹牛注意自己的路

[VERSE]

Rooted deep, I ain’t transplant

Tattoos on my skin, they ain’t hand stamps

Taught lessons by my mentors so I make music but not at band camp

Sunset over the west end I’m in the Westin way back when they wouldn’t let us in now these Benjamins open the door key quick as lightnin

Faces on em look like racists on em but I spend em up like changing places on em

I know it ain’t no grace in makin money

Just use it well before they take it from me

I blew thru the ceiling I started the healing my therapist near me I see him biweekly

I look in the mirror I like what I’m seein I ain’t gotta wait to represent on TV

Sold us a dream that they never could give

Loaded the bodies five deep on the ships

Buried the bodies and burned up the records but songs and our memories never forget

[Chorus]

妈妈叫我别去听着他诈语

走进了房间我会去跳个舞

爸爸教我怎么保持好态度

不用吹牛注意自己的路

Mama told me not to listen to rumors

I know how to groove when i step in the room

Daddy taught me to be quiet and honest

Don’t talk on my progress just speak with my moves

[VERSE]

小时候没什么英雄

电视的屏幕全都是空空

没想到我的祖辈跑过丰富的马拉松

线缆被切断

历史和哲学我都没概览

终于开始学习我家人的遗产

一步一步我试着慢慢走

一路顺风我祖先告诉我

这路好长

我一直也强

我意义出去我性格也好讲

发现了祖辈抹去的救济

从入境时候到它过去祖籍

我不是个「竹升」我心里有力

我历史有意义这就是胜利

[Chorus]

Mama told me not to listen to rumors

I know how to groove when i step in the room

Daddy taught me to be quiet and honest

Don’t talk on my progress just speak with my moves

妈妈叫我别去听着他诈语

走进了房间我会去跳个舞

爸爸教我怎么保持好态度

不用吹牛注意自己的路
