[Chinese]

兄弟，我发誓这生活远非普通

即使在洛杉矶的交通中我也乐在其中

我从不在乎那些黑子或过气的人

我们旅行的地方让你觉得自己在迷幻

因为当你飞往海外时，风景是如此惊艳

如果你说我的东西不火，看看我如何提升我的水平

兄弟，我们吃得好，每天都得炫耀

我的团队太火了，永远不缺阴凉

我们从不缺钱，翻来覆去都在赚钱

但到头来，赚多少钱并不重要

在101街长大

父母告诉我永远不要让钱成为动力，去传播你的话语

所以我会传播，就像我的翅膀一样

你永远不知道，明天可能不会发生

所以我继续前行，脚踩油门

生活过得快才更好，兄弟，这是真的

顶棚放下，我们在太平洋海岸公路

马里布，伴着紫色烟雾

虽然还没21岁，但我们整晚都在开香槟

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

每天我醒来，走出门

我从不回头，总是随波逐流

因为这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

高中时父母告诉我熬夜太晚

但现在我们独立生活，他们无权干涉

在金州这里，阳光明媚，真是个美好的一天

山上的房子，那是所有朋友的聚集地

该死……无法回头

两个叫杰克的孩子，我们在抽烟

是的，我唱歌我说唱，他们为我鼓掌

售罄演出，把Omaha放在地图上

是的，那是内布拉斯加州的奥马哈，我们为此骄傲

在西海岸火热，仍然得代表

躺在沙发上盯着天花板，在我家

……该死，兄弟，像是我们有了房子

这真是太酷了

看看一年前我们还在上课

填大学申请，回家小睡一会

现在我们在卖曲子，匆忙出门，赶着去兄弟会

生活过得快才更好，兄弟，这是真的

顶棚放下，我们在太平洋海岸公路

马里布，伴着紫色烟雾

虽然还没21岁，但我们整晚都在开香槟

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

每天我醒来，走出门

我从不回头，总是随波逐流

因为这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

油箱满满

没有任何义务

我们让这一切持续下去

生活就像一次大假期

油箱满满

没有任何义务

我们让这一切持续下去

生活就像一次大假期

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

每天我醒来，走出门

我从不回头，总是随波逐流

因为这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

这就是我们的生活，我们活得精彩

每天我醒来，走出门

我从不回头，总是随波逐流

Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

...

[English]

Man I swear to God this life we LIVE is far from average

I'm havin' a blast even when I'm stuck in LA traffic

Now I never give a shit about the haters or the has-beens

The places we travelin' make you think you're trippin' acid

Cause the views are so amazin' when you're flyin' overseas

If you say my shit ain't fire, watch me heighten my degrees

Man the way we eatin' good, gotta floss every day

And my team, we so hot, we're never not in the shade

We're never not gettin' paid, we're makin' MONEY as we toss and turn

But at the end of the day, it don't matter what you earn

Raised up on 101st street

PARENTS told me never let the MONEY be the motivation, gon' and spread your word

So I'ma spread it, I'ma spread it like my wings

And you never know, tomorrow might not end up happening

So I keep it movin', got my foot on the gas

LIFE'S better when you're livin' it fast, man that's a fact

Top down, and we PCH

Malibu with that purple haze

Ain't 21 but we pop champagne all night

That's just how we livin', we livin'

That's just how we livin', we livin'

Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door

No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow

Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

Back in high school my parents told me I stayed up too late

But now we're livin' on our own and they ain't got no say

Out here in the Golden State, sun's out, it's a gorgeous day

House up in the hills, that's the place where all the homies stay

Damn... no turnin' back

Two kids named Jack and we burnin' a sack

Yeah I sing and I rap, and they clap

Sellin' out shows, put the O on the map

Yeah that's Omaha, Nebraska, for it, yeah we hold it down

Hot on the West Coast, still gotta rep though

Starin' at my ceiling as I'm layin' on my couch, in my house

...Damn, dude, like we got a house

That shit is fresh, yo

Seein' as how a year ago we in class

Fillin' up college apps, goin' home, takin' a nap

Now we sellin' tracks and rushin' out, rushin' a frat

Life's better when you're livin' it fast, man that's a fact

Top down, and we PCH

Malibu with that purple haze

Ain't 21 but we pop champagne all night

That's just how we livin', we livin'

That's just how we livin', we livin'

Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door

No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow

Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

Full tank of gas

No obligations

We're makin' this last

Life is just one big vacation

Full tank of gas

No obligations

We're makin' this last

Life is just one big vacation

That's just how we livin', we livin'

That's just how we livin', we livin'

Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door

No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow

Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'

That's just how we livin', we livin'

That's just how we livin', we livin'

Every day I'm wakin' up, I'm walkin' out the door

No I'm never lookin' back, I'm always goin' with the flow

Cause that's just how we livin', we livin'
