[English]

I am called someone, I have ambition

The world laughs at my ugliness

Change my name, let me get in the game

I am called someone, fighting every battle

Painful but I accept

Style is the trend, I dress boldly

I just wanna have hotpot

They keep telling me to do as I’m told

I know you know you know I know

I know

Born not willing to sit still

Born with stars on my face

Born to roam in the galaxy

Born with strange charm

Born just can't compare

Born to act completely spontaneously

Not working, just not working

My carefree, unrestrained nature

Swimming freely in the mortal world, deep sea

Don’t mind those heavy burdens coming, talking nonsense

Don’t mind, changing and changing won't help

I refuse to change my natural style

My name's someone, wanting me to be thinner

But afraid I look too resentful, eyes too big

Covering up, pretending normally

My name's someone, forever single

No romantic encounters

Diligence is just for the future, enough to endure

Born not willing to sit still

Born with stars on my face

Born to roam in the galaxy

Born with strange charm

Born just can't compare

Born to act completely spontaneously

Not working, just not working

My carefree, unrestrained nature

Flying freely in a crooked world

Don’t mind, the standard measures enslave and bind us all

Don’t mind, changing and changing won't help

I refuse to change my natural style

Maybe my illusions shimmer brightest

The vastness of the universe, how to tell real from fake

Wiping away illusions beneath daylight

Small halos, I ask to be loved

My wandering self, freely unrestrained

Climbing to the peak, no longer self-deceiving

Don’t mind, pointing fingers at others is so mean

Don’t mind, changing and changing won't help

I refuse to change my natural style

Born not willing to sit still

Born with stars on my face

Born to roam in the galaxy

Born with strange charm

Born just can't compare

Born to act completely spontaneously

Why obey by nature

Born unafraid to shout out loud

Born lazy but clear

Born without worries

Born without needing comparison

Born without inferiority

My carefree, unrestrained nature

(Born why obey, born unafraid to shout)

Pointing fingers at others, so mean

Born without needing to feel inferior

I know who, I know you, I know I know

...

[Chinese]

我叫某某 志氣我有

世界笑我醜

改改新名 讓我入流

我叫某某 每套戰鬥

難受亦接受

型才是大氣候 著不厚

I just wanna 打邊爐

又叫我照做

I know you know you know I know

我知道

天生未願坐定

天生面上有星

天生銀河裡馳騁

天生魅力怪奇

天生就沒法比

天生行為最隨機

又唔做嘢 係唔做嘢

飄忽的我自由得不羈

塵世 深海中暢泳起

別理 幾千噸重襲來講三講四

別理 改改改改哪有用

不改天生我作風

我叫某某 要我更瘦

卻怕太似怨咒 眼圈太大

遮遮砒霜 扮作正常

我叫某某 永無配偶

無羅曼邂逅

勤力就是以後 快忍夠

天生未願坐定

天生面上有星

天生銀河裡馳騁

天生魅力怪奇

天生就沒法比

天生行為最隨機

又唔做嘢 係唔做嘢

飄忽的我自由得不羈

任意 歪風中繼續飛

別理 標準的尺害人綑綁一起

別理 改改改改哪有用

不改天生我作風

我那錯覺最閃爍吧

大氣浩瀚 怎辨真假

抹去錯覺白晝之下

渺小光暈也懇請迷上

飄忽的我自由得不羈

爬上 巔峰不再自欺

別理 手指指向別人這麼卑鄙

別理 改改改改哪有用

不改天生我作風

天生未願坐定

天生面上有星

天生銀河裡馳騁

天生魅力怪奇

天生就沒法比

天生行為最隨機

天生為何聽命

天生未懼放聲

天生是但懶澄清

天生就別顧忌

天生就別要比

天生就別要自卑

飄忽的我自由得不羈

（天生為何聽命 天生未懼放聲）

手指指向別人這麼卑鄙

天生就別要自卑

I know who know you know I know
