♪ It's my time to move on
現在，輪到我動身出發了
♪ To lose myself in thought, alone
讓我沉溺在自己的世界中，忘我到無法自拔

它環繞著我的身軀，它刺激著我的心靈
♪ It can't be outrun
但我卻無法逃離這番困境
♪ Till you save me and wake me up
直到你拯救了我，大夢初醒一般
It was Dec.11th, 2010
似乎回到了2010年12月11日
When it began to rain
天空下著小雨，密密麻麻地打在窗上
Role-playin', to pretend to be? maybe a policeman
我在家中，說著諸如“長大以後我要當警察”的童語
But since then, I had been your fan
那時起，我就已經是你的粉絲了
Then I was only 4
我才4歲出頭
That means though I listened to your album
自然聽不懂那些深刻的大道理
I was only for happiness
聽你們的專輯只是為了尋個樂子
Time flew, when I felt kinda blue
時間飛逝，我漸漸明白了什麼是快樂，什麼是憂鬱
Rewindin' it for the hundredth time
把那張專輯循環了幾百遍
But it remained brand-new
但它依然如同嶄新的一般，光盤上閃著彩虹的光芒
And you, loved by, no reason while bein' asked why
無需言語，你依然是我的最愛
And you, changed my life
因為是你改變了我的一生
My mind, and my eyes
讓我活得通透，活得有價值
But when I was surfin' on YouTube and Twitter
但當我在油管和推特上沖浪的時候
I saw something different
我才逐漸發現了世界上不美好的一面
Everyone critiquin', like fallout iridescent
各行各業各階層的人全維度地把這張專輯批判了一番，說得就像它沒有任何閃光點一樣，如同五花八門的放射性塵埃
Your ex-fans said bye-bye
你所謂的老粉都對你說“再見”了
Prolly I should help you
說不定我應該做些什麼，又或者我什麼都幫不到？
I'd never forget that night
那一整夜的苦思冥想讓我難忘
I took up makin' music
終於，我決定和你一樣，做我“自己的”音樂，讓他們說去吧
Only with an iPad
手邊只有一個iPad，但這不影響我的宏偉計劃
Rockin' in white sweater
我穿上白色毛衣
Guitar and hi -hat
用一把吉他和一套鼓
I wrote out everything I'd like to say
寫出了自己想說的，想做的，想改變的
Just like you , as far as I can
就像你一樣，盡我所能
As time goes by, my hits went viral
時間緩緩流過，我的歌終於大火
Loved by a lotta guys
被很多人喜歡
But I, tend to be like everyone else
但我已經沒了當初的決心，就像其它那些粗製濫造，只會模仿別人的音樂人一樣
Forget who I am
忘記了自己的初衷，忘記了自己是誰
I said, loyal to the music
我曾說過，我會忠於音樂
And always try my best
我曾說過，我會盡我所能
But now just driftin'...
但我之前那麼長時間的努力似乎付諸了東流
Too late to realize, feel I'm
可惜為時已晚
Idolized as I am the chosen
我被崇拜著，似乎我這樣的無才之人就是他們口中的“天選之子”
But your fan base shrink to fifths
回頭再看看你的粉絲量，似乎又少了一截
So why do they prefer candyflosses
所以為什麼現在的人就喜歡那些陳詞濫調的口水歌
Shan't I put my soul into lyrics ?
做音樂的同時，真的就無法忠於自我嗎？

Aiyyo
都給我注意點
You won't stay till now if I didn't say such a lotta f_____ borin' things frontin', right?
如果我之前不說那麼多無聊的話，你們一一個都不會聽到現在的對吧？
Tear out my schedule
不過現在，節目單被我改了
Don't you know how much I've spent preparin' for my debut?
你知道我為了做出第一首rap花費了多少錢和精力嗎？
I had had some allies
是的，曾經是有一些人說過會一直喜歡我
Yapped at me 'bout SO MIndless
但自他們對我的那首《SO MIndless》肆意批評的那一刻起
Thought I took an L at
我就知道離他們離開我的日子已經不遠了
I mail back, y'all like only what I rhymed
我回复說，你們就知道看我唱了什麼高低音，用了什麼flow，押了什麼韻
But not what I meant
但一點都沒理解這首歌的精神內核就來批判它
Why I named it SO MIndless
為什麼我要給這首歌起名SO MIndless？
‘Cause my soul minded, ayy
因為我太在意這件事了，朋友
I don't give a d___, they've already betrayed me
不過我已經習慣了，他們早就在精神上背叛了我
I'm steppin' forward, they are just regressin'
我在進步，我的境界在提升，而他們退步的厲害
Re-evaluation, with a big mistake
他們評估我的實力時出現了重大謬誤
Revolution, they're ragequittin', hol' up
我期待著我真正掀起這陣改革浪潮的那一天，那時他們的表情一定能讓我很滿意吧
Don't know how to make it flow
還有那些根本不會玩說唱的熱度怪
So you're gon' imitate me
真以為單靠模仿就能做出真正厲害的歌嗎?
No, I'm Kendrick, y'all get rick rolled, ohh
哦不！我其實是Kendrick Lamar，你被騙了
SO MIndless didn't go viral
SO MIndless沒火起來
But I ain't the b____ who is f_____ called imos
但是我已經不是那個叫imos的瘋子了
The flickering starlights shine over again
And the glittery meteors pass over again
Purify me with shimmers rather bright
For I can find my real me on the starry night
