歌词
I was seven years old, when I got my first pair
七岁那年我拥有了我的第一双球鞋
And I stepped outside
我飞奔跑向屋外
And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly
我很高兴 天啊 鞋里的气垫好像会让我飞起来
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high
我跑向球场 我奋力一跳 跳的很高
I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life
我摸到了篮网 天啊我竟然摸到了篮网 这是我一生中最美好的一天
Air Maxes were next
Air Maxes是我的第二双球鞋
That air bubble, that mesh
那气垫 那网络
The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread, in school
那鞋盒 那味道 那质地 那鞋底
I was so cool
让我在学校里是最酷的一个
I knew that I couldn't crease ‘em
我知道我舍不得弄皱它
My friends couldn't afford ‘em
我的死党们还都买不起呢
Four stripes on their Adidas
他们穿的还是仿冒的四道杠的阿迪达斯
On the court I wasn't the best, but my kicks were like the pros
球场上我不是最出色的但我的球鞋让我就像是专业的选手
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
我特意露出鞋头 只想让所有人看到那标志
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dope
耐克的这款Aif Flight 不好的是这鞋好丑
And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa
我的死党卡洛斯的哥哥投射遭到绝杀
See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted a Starter coat though
显而易见他只想来个跳投 但已被别人抢占先机
Didn't wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello
无论是谁 都不想被对手围困
You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings, with the velcro
穿着这双搭有尼龙搭扣的Pro Wings 你肯定会被耻笑
Those were not tight
连鞋带都没有
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cause I wanted to be like Mike, right
我想飞离地面 因为我想跟Mike一样来个灌篮
Wanted to be him
想和他一样厉害
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim

I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in
我想做潮人 我想跟紧潮流
I wanted what he had, America, it begins

Can you take me far away

And I'll go so high

I'll go so high
展翅高飞
My feet won't touch the ground

Stitch my wings

And pull the strings

I bought these dreams
我用钱换取梦想
That all fall down
而这梦终究还是会破碎
We want what we can't have, commodity makes us want it
对我们来说遥不可及的鞋子们 摆在货架上等我们带他们回家
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it
真贵 我一个劲的炫耀
Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit
晒给别人看 那可是独一无二最新款的呢
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
一百美元的战靴 我却从未成功灌篮
Look at me, look at me, I'm a cool kid
看看我 快看我 我是小潮人
I'm an individual, yea, but I'm part of a movement
自以为我很特立独行 也是这潮流的追随者
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
我对鞋的热爱使我成为鞋店熟客 我也一直买买买
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said
死党们都说喜欢的话就尽管去做 我也就头脑发热随心所欲
Look at what that swoosh did
看看这狂热对我的影响吧
See it consumed my thoughts
它控制了我的理智
Are you stupid, don't crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box
你是笨蛋吗 不要弄皱你的宝贝 快放回鞋盒
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
鞋带绑的太紧使我说不出话
That's my air bubble and I'm lost, if it pops
那是我的专属气垫 如果它爆了我肯定会很失落
We are what we wear, we wear what we are
我就爱我所穿 我穿就是我所爱
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
看着镜子里的自己 觉得Phil Knight控制了我
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box
我该有所改变吗 还是原地踏步
These Nikes help me define me, and I'm trying to take mine, off

展翅高飞
My feet won't touch the ground

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

This dream that they sold to you

And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
