戰勝自己 – Bilingual Lyrics Chinese/English
Lyrics & Translation
Having experienced setbacks and sadness, no need for consolation
Let my future be grateful for today's obstacles
Fall down and stand up again
You desperately run, constantly seeking reliance
You roar, this place is too noisy
So nervous, too crowded, too many things suppressed
Your attitude of giving up didn't happen overnight
Move forward, don't look back, time never stops, time slips away
In the end, you'll find no one willing to stay for love
No one will make a final effort to keep you
Had enough, feel unbearable
Weakness is like a wound that never stops bleeding
Want to give up? You can find too many excuses
Want to stay? You only need one reason
Life is written by yourself, even if fate is biased
Clench your fists until the end, no need for charity
The road gets steeper, even if climbing mountains and crossing fields
As long as you reach the summit, you'll discover a new vision
Once I was full of ideals and fighting spirit
Once I felt lost and frustrated
Once I felt like I was
Like an abandoned orphan
Things don't go as planned, many things are out of control
All the effort can be wasted
Is it thinking too beautifully, or is reality too practical
Is making a living the true meaning of life
Letting go, who cares about the reason
Having experienced setbacks and sadness, no need for consolation
Let my future be grateful for today's obstacles
Fall down and stand up again
This is one life that we have
This is one time that we live
The moment comes when we feel in it ohh
This is our life that we know
This is our shine that we show
There will come a time when we'll feel winning Keep up the vibes like the records keep spinning
Let's make the best of what we have
don't judge it good or bad
the evolution of one
from the streets to a cozy pad
from the rhymes in my head to droppin dem on a track
I'm chillin on big stacks
I'm killin' on the music
I made it for my Fam so we all can be
Lifestyle
so set
my inner child
so blessed
So flow with the blue skies
keeping our dreams high
Frustration can eventually temper me, despising scars
With sincerity, open up your new territory
May my future export tons of happiness
I am applauding myself
Others cannot control the elevator of life for you
Fly for love, devotedly
The future is yours to explore
Others cannot write the joys and sorrows of life for you
Engrave insights on milestones
Discover the truth of yourself
Letting go, who cares about the reason
Having experienced setbacks and sadness, no need for consolation
Let my future be grateful for today's obstacles
Fall down and stand up again
Believe in hope
A small heart is like a steel chain
Don't be willful and frantic, you can always find the ultimate skill
Victory is conquering oneself
