歌词
2011, my name came alive
十六岁那年 Denzel的名号横空出世
At the same time, I planned my suicide
与此同时 自弑的念头充斥我的脑海
Literally, I would live lonely inside
不夸张地讲 我本会孤独至死
On the physical side, all my miracles died
心病困扰 所有奇迹都已熄灭
2012, guess that plan ain't go well
来到2012年 一切将仍不如意
Out my shell, still I'm livin' in hell
虽已破茧而出 却仍活在地狱
Yet it was written, from God it was gifted
词作水准比肩Nas 那是天神所赐的才能
To give you a story that ain't hard to tell
道出的故事 好比《Ain't Hard to Tell》
2013, far from a pre-teen
成人那年 远不再是个十几岁的孩子
But it seems that a n!gga chased my dream
那时我开始逐梦
Making anything that the world has not seen nor heard
致力于创造出世上未曾出现的佳作
Moving words like verbs, curved
书写唱词 让他们跃然纸上
