歌词
Now, this is my job, I will not quit it
听着,说唱是我的事业,我将不会放弃
Pulled me out the depths when I thought that I was finished
当我觉得我要完蛋的时候,它将我拉离深渊
Yeah I questioned if I could go the distance
是的我曾问自己能否走的更远
That's just the work, regardless of who's listening, listening
但这是我的音乐,我不在于到底是谁在听
Listen, see I was meant to be a warrior
听着,我注定将成为一个战士
Fight something amongst me, leave here victorious
与挡在我面前的人战斗,然后在这里留下胜迹
Classroom of kids, or a venue performing
我做过学生,也在舞台上演出过
If I'd done it for the money I'd have been a fucking lawyer

Concrete, vagabond, van telling stories
坚强,漂泊,我是演讲者的先锋
Humbled by the road, I'm realizing I'm not important
却轻易地被这条路(意指现实)打败,我才意识到我在人们眼里并不重要
See life's a beautiful struggle, I record it
然后我看到了人生挫折中也有美好之处,于是将它录在歌中
Hope it helps you maneuvering through yours and
希望这歌能够帮你们渡过你们人生的低谷
That's why we stay in the lab at night

I've been staring into this pad for over half my life
我半辈子一直在精进自己写词的技术
A true artist won't be satisfied

I'm my grandma's number one grandson

I lost myself to remember who that was

What I really need is a job off CraigsList

Take away the dot com, name, love
不去想我的公共主页,名声,爱
Fans, Twitter followers, and the buzz
粉丝,推特好友和议论我的嗡嗡声
See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs

And I had to find out who I really was

Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
