告诉我你**到底在想神马？ 【继续反击Waka Flocka Flame，此处引用了Waka的歌词】 Little gay looking boy 看上去超娘的小gay 【这几句的flow用了Hotstylz的歌：Lookin' Boy】 So gay I can barely say it with a straight face looking boy 娘到不忍直视，我都没法用我这张直男面瘫脸取笑你~娘货 （straight face双关“异性恋的脸”“面无表情”） You witnessing a massacre 你将目睹一场血腥** 【用**massacre谐音民众聚集mass occur 此处引用琼斯镇惨案：78年吉姆·琼斯带领九百多信众****。】 Like you watching a church gathering take place looking boy 就像看到教堂外信徒集结~娘货 Oy vey, that boy's gay, that's all they say looking boy 唉~呃。。那孩子是gay，大家对你只有这一句评价~娘货 You get a thumbs up, pat on the back 只需你主子几句赞赏，再在你背后赞许轻拍 And a way to go from your label everyday looking boy 你被自家厂牌控制的傀儡人生就开始了~娘货 Hey, looking boy, what you say looking boy?

Lyrics coming at you at supersonic speed, (JJ Fad) 歌词将以超音速袭击你的听觉 【supersonic这首歌 来自美国说唱团体JJ Fad，下面第一句歌词同样提取自这首歌】 Uh, sama lamaa duma lamaa you assuming I'm a human 啊 苏嘛 喇嘛 嘟嘛 喇嘛 你认为我是平凡人类 What I gotta do to get it through to you I'm superhuman 我必须让你们明白 我才是真正超人类 Innovative and I'm made of rubber 更改游戏规则的我由橡胶制成 So that anything you say is ricocheting off of me and it'll glue to you 所以无论你如何攻击我 你的言语都会从我身上反弹回去 反而仅仅粘黏你自己 【此处引用“我是橡胶，你是胶”这个儿童口头语典故】 I'm devastating, more than ever demonstrating~ 我用史无前例的毁灭性，向世人展示 how to give a mother****in' audience a feeling like it's levitating 该如何给予听者T M 的****的快感 Never fading, and I know that the haters are forever waiting 永远不会离开这个舞台 我知道haters也同样永远等候在那里 For the day that they can say I fell off, they'd be celebrating 为了有天能看见我退出这场游戏 那时他们将欢呼**这一天的到来 Cause I know the way to get 'em motivated 因为我的作品永远是他们前进的动力 I make elevating music, you make elevator music 我的音乐让人倍受鼓舞，你的音乐毫无内涵 只适合在电梯里播放 Oh, he's too mainstream “喔 他现在太主流了” Well, that's what they do when they get jealous, they confuse it 好吧 当他们对我的成就羡慕嫉妒 他们也只能说说这些 歌迷也开始迷惑 It's not hip hop, it's pop, cause I found a hella way to fuse it "这不是说唱 这是流行乐"，我只是找到了逆天的方式去融合二者 (hella way = hell of a way 为配合“融合”之意，此处把四个词融合成两个） With rock, shock rap with Doc 搭配摇滚乐 和Dre一起为大家带来匪夷所思的音乐 Throw on Lose Yourself and make 'em lose it 就像我每次现场唱Lose Yourself 让人群如痴如狂 I don't know how to make songs like that 我不知该如何做出那种神曲 I don't know what words to use 我更不知如何在歌里用韵脚 Let me know when it occurs to you while I’m ripping any one of these verses, that versus you 记得告诉我：当我用这三段中任何一段**对手时，到了哪句你才顿悟：这其实骂的是你 It’s curtains, I’m inadvertently hurtin' you 你的rap生涯即将落幕 我不是故意要伤害你 How many verses I gotta murder to prove 你想要我再写出多少绝杀狠词，才能最终信服： That if you're half as nice at songs, you can sacrifice virgins too (ughhh) 如果你的说唱能及我一半，你大可以做个说唱小神，像我一样接受童女祭祀 【人们通过祭奠童男童女 向神灵祈福】 School flunkie, pill junky 高中辍学 沉迷药物 But look at the accolades the skills brung me 但看看我所得到的荣誉 都是说唱技巧为我带来的 （Brung 在这里是brought的文盲写法，Em自嘲学业不好，连单词都用错） Full of myself, but still hungry 自信满满 但依然对技术进阶如饥似渴 I bully myself cause I make me do what I put my mind to 我威逼、强迫自己 对所有下定决心的事付出行动 And I'm a million leagues above you, ill when I speak in tongues 这就是为什么我早已凌驾于你万里之上 病态时的我语无伦次 But it's still tongue in cheek, **** you 这些话是玩笑来着，**** you I'm drunk so Satan take the ****ing wheel, I'm asleep in the front seat 我烂醉如泥 让撒旦替我开车 我沉睡在副驾驶 Bumping Heavy D and the Boys, still chunky, but funky 播放Heavy D and the Boys，节奏还是那样厚重，拉风（still chunky, but funky也同样是Heavy D and the Boys的一首单曲） But in my head there's something I can feel tugging and struggling 但在我的脑海里仍有股力量挣扎于善恶之间 Angels fight with devils and here's what they want from me 天使与魔鬼决斗 我是赢家的战利品 They're asking me to eliminate some of the women hate 人们劝我摈弃歌词中对女人的偏见和憎恨 But if you take into consideration the bitter hatred I have 但是如果你们能设身处地的站在我的立场 体会我的心酸愁苦 Then you may be a little patient and more sympathetic to the situation 或许你会对我的处境多些同情与怜悯 And understand the discrimination 或许会理解我为什么在歌词中对女性有所偏见 But **** it, life's handing you lemons, make lemonade then 但不管这些 生命有时就是火上浇油 我们只能苦中作乐 【lemon部分的意思是 当你觉得人生很苦的时候 往往人生会给你点“柠檬”，让你苦上加酸涩，这时候你只能把柠檬做成Lemonade*类似雪碧的甜味饮料 苦中作乐】 But if I can't batter the women how the **** am I supposed to bake them a cake then? 但是如果我连女人都不能家暴 我又怎能给她烤出一份蛋糕呢？ （batter the women即对女人施暴，同时batter是蛋糕面糊，没面糊烤不了蛋糕） Don't mistake it for Satan 不要把这些归结于撒旦作祟 （含义：我没被撒旦操纵，因为我本身之邪恶不输撒旦） It's a fatal mistake if you think I need to be overseas 更致命的错误是 如果你觉得我必须出趟国 And take a vacation to trip abroad 度个假，才敢在当地绊倒某** （abroad双关 一指上文所提到的国外 二指某**，因为abroad谐音a broad，broad俚语意是放荡女人） And make her fall on her face and don't be a retard 然后让她摔个狗吃*，这很傻很天真。别傻了 Be a king? Think not - why be a king when you can be a God? 做说唱之王？算了吧 - 既成神 何成王？
