歌词
[00:-0.21]
有个人，他曾说
[00:-0.11]
是在我们做第一张林肯公园专辑的时候
The dude, he said that, like,
他说的
when we were making the first Linkin Park record
“你知道的，我不懂说唱是怎么一回事
He was like,
我不清楚......或许你们就应该只是一个摇滚乐队吧。“
"Yeah you know, I don't know about the rapping like,
你懂我意思吗，他这么说就像是想要改变我们
I don't know... maybe you should just be a rock band."
就像是他们签下我们仅仅因为我们的歌听起来不错
You know what I mean, like, trying to change us
然后他就像是说
like they signed us as an act like what we sound like and then he's like
“噢，我不知道。或许你还是弹好你的乐器就好了”
"Oh I don't know maybe you should just play keyboard"
当你听见我开始唱第一首歌之前
就已经有人尝试赶我走了
Before the first song that you heard me on
告诫我别再在歌里加入说唱了
There were people already tryin' to get me gone
“就弹好你的键盘吧”
Tellin' me to quit rapping
意思说我们乐队有一个主唱了
"Just play the keys"
他们不需要我再去唱歌
That my band had a singer
但是我的乐队支持我
They didn't need me
所以我们录了很多音轨
But my band had my back
然后做成专辑并且达成了共识
So we did the tracks
这些一开始显得很有趣但之后趣味就渐渐消失了
Put out the album and the talk went flat
就因为一些杂志打印出了一些我们自己设计的标志
It was funny at first but then the humour faded
我们做音乐就是要做好做真
When some magazines printed that our label made us
有些人就说是我们背后有专门的影子写手帮我们创造歌曲
We were to be good to be true
所以我们必须要站出来打消这种疑虑
Some were saying ghost writers were writin' all that we do
我们就把如何做出音乐的细节都写到歌词里面
So we had to disprove it
那之后我设立了一个规则
We spelled it out to the detail how we do it when we're making this music
所有书面问答我都一律采取电子邮件回复
After that I made it a rule
因为这些人喜欢扭曲你说的话
I only do e-mail responses to print interviews
来指出你说了一些很荒唐的事情
Because these people love to put a twist to your words
噢，我是不是忘了指出你？
To infer that you said something fucking absurd
没有听过一个只用最基本的词汇组成的说唱段落吧？
人们过去常认为我们在大量出产歌
Oh, did I lose you at infer?
现在我已经把问答的内容立了文档
Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first grade vocabulary words?
哪个人说了什么
People used to infer that we were manufactured
哪个号码可以拨打
Now I've got the interviews on file
所以现在每个敌人都发疯似的惊叫着
Which people said what
他们都吵着要成为我忠实的粉丝了
Which number to dial
笨蛋
So now every enemy screaming insanity
All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me
Bitch
