[English]

"Walk the line"

I hate that line

I realized

We ran together

I'll pass the mic

pass the mic

You stay still?

You stay? You stay?

I got pushed, pushed

Swept up

Tagged given & tamed

All passive voices

Kill the past, just get lost

Just get lost, you’re judging who’s worthy?

I’m out of your enclosure, nah

I won’t be a fool no more

I realize it now

Give me that MIC, this is day one

I wanna stand on my own feet

Everything else is meaningless

Bring out my real voice

And draw our future

Shout out together

That moment that moment in our future perfect

Shout out together

You and I, you and I will have become us

Put your hands up (Oh oh oh)

Put em up if you wanna talk (Oh oh oh)

Come on, Come on

Bring it, bring it

I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh

Put your weight on me (Oh oh oh)

Cuz we are rule breaker (Oh oh oh)

Come on, Come on

Bring it, bring it

I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh

Put your hands up

"Walk the line"

I hate that line

I realized

We ran together

I'll pass the mic,

pass the mic

You stay still?

You stay? You stay?

Will to win the days will eventually come

Look at me, no reason to give up

Thanks for all your flak

You helped stoke my myth

"What did you say?"

To that my answer is always “REAL”

I wanna stand on my own feet

Everything else is meaningless

Bring out my real voice

And draw our future

Shout out together

That moment that moment in our future perfect

Shout out together

You and I, you and I will have become us

Put your hands up (Oh oh oh)

Put em up if you wanna talk (Oh oh oh)

Come on, Come on

Bring it, bring it

I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh

Put your weight on me (Oh oh oh)

Cuz we are rule breaker (Oh oh oh)

Come on, Come on

Bring it, bring it

I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh

Put your hands up

"Walk the line"

I hate that line

I realized

We ran together

I'll pass the mic,

pass the mic

You stay still?

You stay? You stay?
