歌词
I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
那年我七岁, 得到生平第一双Nike AIR
And I stepped outside
我跑到户外
And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it’s gonna make me fly
我在喊 妈妈 它里面有气垫 能让我飞起来
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
我来到球场,我dao跳,我奋力一跳,我发誓我真的跳得好高
I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
我碰到了篮框,妈,我摸到了篮框,那是我最爽的一天啊
Air Max’s were next,
下一双鞋便是Air Max
That air bubble, that mesh
那气垫,那网眼
The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread, in school
那鞋盒,神秘的味道,像碉堡,踩着它去学校
I was so cool
我真酷毙了
I knew that I couldn’t crease ‘em
我知道自己不能把鞋弄皱
My friends couldn’t afford ‘em
朋友们也买不起它
Four stripes, some Air-didas
他们还穿四根杠,有的还是阿迪达
On the court I wasn’t the best, but my kicks were like the pros
球场上的我打得不是最好,但我的球鞋装备与专业球队无异
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
哟,我卷起裤管亮出鞋,只想大家看到那LOGO
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dopeNike Air Flight,
我这撇火药配了这么棒的战靴
And then my friend Carlos’ brother got murdered for his fours, whoa
我朋友 Carlos的兄弟因为穿着四代而被欺辱,喔..
See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though
他不过想要一次高飞的机会,但别人却只是为了跟风
Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
他不想被流氓抓到,从Genesee公园逃到 Othello
You could clown for those Probings, with the velcro
你可以嘲笑这些有魔术贴的Probing
Those were not tight
连鞋带都没有
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right
我曾试过起飞,却不离开地面 因为我想做“乔3”,没错
Wanted to be him
想跟他一样
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim
我想成为他那样的飞人,我想触碰篮板
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
我要潮翻天,我要潮在当下
I wanted what he had, America, it begins
我要得到他拥有过的美丽 梦已开始
I want to fly

Stitch my wings
伸展我的羽翼
And pull the strings

I bought these dreams
我买到了已久的梦寐
That all fall down
它们却让我心碎
We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it
对于我们来说遥不可及的鞋子们,在货架上也渴望我们带它回家
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
可贵了呢,我一个劲儿地显摆着
Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit
让别人看看,独一无二,新款的
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
百多美元的战靴,我还从未上过脚
Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid
都来看看啊,我简直酷毙了
I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement
我自以为自己是特立独行的,却又是鞋友中的一份子
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
我对AJ的热爱促使我做出行动来 我也一直买买买
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
我按照他们所说的,放胆做下去
Look at what that swoosh did
它到底对我做了什么
See it consumed my thoughts
它虏获我的心
Are you stupid, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box
你傻的吧,别弄出皱,赶紧放盒子里去
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
我感觉就像被鞋带勒住喉咙,鞋带啊快住手
That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops
就我这个气垫,要是爆了,我可赔大了
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
鞋子上那个就是我,此刻穿的就是我的专属战靴
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
可当我看到和别人“撞鞋”, Phil Knight 你是不是耍我
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
我是换换口味还是原地驻足?
These Nikes help me define me, and I’m trying to take mine, off
这双在我心中可惜啊烙印的Nike,我正努力让自己 起飞

I bought these dreams

They started out, with what I wear to school

That first day, like these are what make you cool

And this pair, this would be my parachute

So much more than just a pair of shoes
