[English]

Sorry, others are strong and tough, but I’m not quite steel yet

Turning around, their posture is weak like you, for a moment I long for that

Deep down, I can’t find the answer, who’s to blame?

So superficial, just wanting to find an answer, look

You or I, both going crazy and wild

Competing and sparring, might be too reckless

Rollin’ like I’m with nobody

Take a shot, got to go in fast

Everybody’s telling me

Everything’s just a game

Chasing fame

Know your goal (hey)

Been talking too much, how can I console myself?

Comparing so much, walking off the path

What do you want? What’s the point?

Stuck with nowhere to go

Now I’m about to show you how I roll (yeah)

Hey, fighting through the wilderness, cutting through thorns to explore the secret realm

Just to earn a little skill

Just listening to my inner reactions

Hey, don’t panic, I’m determined to explore boldly

No longer fighting just to win

Yeah, I’m about to go

Shattering the world, a billion trophies

Turning around forcefully, heart no longer wanting to be stained with灰

Impatient, fighting again and again, needing fierce battles several times

This time, I can only admit defeat

Comparing only myself

Stomping hard, never tired

I’m my King Kong

Growing stronger, growing stronger

I’m my King Kong

In victory or defeat, no wins or losses

I’m my King Kong

It’s possible, to climb to the horizon

It’s possible, to break free from fate’s design

No wins or losses, growing stronger

I’m my King Kong

Aye, all hands on deck

Hey, never ever look back

Never go just to backtrack

Aye, I’ve got myself to brag about

Like a fierce beast

Which is braver? I don’t bother to care

Nobody can tell me what I gotta do

Now it’s time to let it all go, go, go, go

You and I each have our strengths, how do we compare?

And yet, most importantly, we forget it all, watch out

Searching for a glimmer of hope

Just wanting to live because I die, I won’t retreat

Been talking too much, how can I console myself?

Comparing so much, walking off the path

What do you want? What’s the point?

Stuck with nowhere to go

Now I’ve got to show you how I roll (yeah)

Hey, fighting through the wilderness, cutting through thorns to explore the secret realm

Just to earn a little skill

Just listening to my inner reactions

Hey, don’t panic, I’m determined to explore boldly

No longer fighting just to win

Yeah, I’m about to go

Shattering the world, a billion trophies

Turning around forcefully, heart no longer wanting to be stained with灰

Impatient, fighting again and again, needing fierce battles several times

This time, I can only admit defeat

Comparing only myself

Stomping hard, never tired

I’m my King Kong

Abandon hundreds of numbers

All the comparisons and hints

Writing my own story

Listening to the message in my heart

Journey through the mundane world, seeking meaning (yeah)

Breaking through all the fallacies and mockery

Shattering the world, a billion trophies

Turning around forcefully, heart no longer wanting to be stained with灰

Patience worn thin, fighting over and over, needing fierce battles

This time, I can only admit defeat

Comparing only myself

Stomping hard, never tired

I’m my King Kong

Growing stronger, growing stronger

I’m my King Kong

Victory or defeat, no wins or losses

I’m my King Kong

It’s possible, to climb to the horizon

It’s possible, to break destiny’s plans

No wins or losses, growing stronger

I’m my King Kong

[Chinese]

別人極強壯 比我也未似精鋼

掉轉 姿態 弱如你 一剎我是最嚮往

始終不可講得出答案 誰

多麼膚淺只想找答案 看

你或我亦各自瘋與狂

要去較勁切磋 也算太魯莽

Rollin’ like I’m wit’ nobody

Take a shot, gotta go in a hurry

Everybody’s telling me

Everything is like a game

Chase the fame

Know your aim (hey)

講已講太多 怎去開解

比較比太多 走到很歪

What’d you want? What’s the point?

I was stuck, there’s no way to go

Now I’m bout’ to show you how I roll (yeah)

Hey 走到天荒披荊斬棘的闖過秘境

只要 賺到些本領

只聽 內裏的反應

Hey 不要心慌我決意放肆一探究竟

不再 為了爭勝

Yeah I’m about to go

就砸爛世間 一千億個獎盃

就用力轉身 心不想再染灰

沒耐性 一再爭到需要激戰幾回

今次的我都也只有失陪

比較只有只有跟我比

用力踏步 未攰

I’m my King Kong

在壯大 在壯大

I’m my King Kong

論勝敗 沒勝敗

I’m my King Kong

可以可以一個攀上天涯

可以可以打破天意安排

沒勝敗 在壯大

I’m my King Kong

Aye, all hands on deck

Hey, never ever ever look back

Ne, never go on just to backtrack

Aye, I’ve got myself to brag like

我似某隻猛獸般

哪個更勇猛 我再懶去管

Nobody can tell me what I gotta do

Now it’s time to let it all go go go go

你我各有各好 怎麼怎麼比

偏偏 最要緊 通通想不起 watch out

找 找一絲生機

只想 生因我死因我不退避

講已講太多 怎去開解

比較比太多 走到很歪

What’d you want? What’s the point?

I was stuck, there’s no way to go

Now I’ve got to show you how I roll (yeah)

Hey 走到天荒披荊斬棘的闖過秘境

只要 賺到些本領

只聽 內裏的反應

Hey 不要心慌我決意放肆一探究竟

Yeah I’m about to go

就砸爛世間 一千億個獎盃

就用力轉身 心 不想再染灰

沒耐性 一再爭到需要激戰幾回

今次的我都也只有失陪

比較只有只有跟我比

用力踏步 未攰

I’m my King Kong

捨棄幾百種數字

所有比對式暗示

寫我一個的故事

聽我心裏的意旨

俗世之旅 各自尋覓意義 (yeah)

踏破所有謬論跟諷刺

就砸爛世間 一千億個獎盃

就用力轉身 心不想再染灰

沒耐性 一再爭到需要激戰幾回

今次的我都也只有失陪

比較只有只有跟我比

用力踏步 未攰

I’m my King Kong

在壯大 在壯大

I’m my King Kong

論勝敗 沒勝敗

I’m my King Kong

可以可以一個攀上天涯

可以可以打破天意安排

沒勝敗 在壯大
