[00:00.000] 作词 : Mitchell Brown
[00:01.000] 作曲 : Mitchell Brown
[00:10.15] Yeah
[00:10.90] I'm 23, but I still bring 'em to you
[00:12.95] I flipped the sample out the drums then I give 'em the truth
[00:15.43] The same me, mother****er -- don't you get it confused
[00:18.13] The last album raised the bar, but this gon' tear off the roof
[00:20.88] Read all about it, get your fix in, I'm independent
[00:23.13] Ain't got a deal, but I can tell you what the deal is
[00:25.88] These labels try to make us millionaires
[00:27.57] But they ain't feel us if the glass is half empty
[00:29.78] I'm coming back to fill it, yeah
[00:31.13] You got me in my feelings and I'm putting in time
[00:33.39] And I been a bunch of places and I'm still 'bout mine
[00:36.00] I could go and write an album 'bout a topic
[00:38.25] Go and drop it
[00:38.99] And I guarantee that half of these people still have a one track mind
[00:42.18] Don't waste my time
[00:42.96] You know I just adjust like that
[00:44.81] Don't know why they so impressed with all that ****-boy rap
[00:47.41] Don't know why they so impressed with all that frat-boy rap
[00:50.19] No pun intended, but your album sounds rushed like that
[00:52.76] Man, we're just ordinary people, yeah
[00:55.34] The last album was a story -- this the sequel
[00:58.04] I'm in a room full of people that I love
[01:00.37] And I ain't ****ing stopping 'til all of us are equal
[01:03.56] Everybody on the right side hit that sway
[01:06.18] Everybody on the left do the same old thing
[01:08.86] Talk is cheap, but, just know, my time sure ain't
[01:11.55] I hope the blind man dance and the deaf one sing
[01:14.09] I hope the world keeps spinning
[01:15.64] And my friends keep winning
[01:16.95] And my parents keep living
[01:18.34] And the bad stop sinning
[01:19.56] Lil' Wayne keeps spitting, and, when push comes to shove
[01:22.43] Would you turn your shoulder, or would you learn to love?
[01:34.84] And, if I only had sixteen bars
[01:36.88] Number one is for my family
[01:38.54] Second for my sister
[01:39.67] And the third for my granny
[01:41.17] Four for my cousins, went
[01:42.50] Five for my brothers, and
[01:43.75] Six, seven, eight is dedicated to my mother, yeah
[01:46.78] Nine's for my Dad -- he's always got my back
[01:48.94] I mean, every single show and tour -- he booked all that
[01:51.51] Number ten's for the labels that skipped it until they heard this
[01:54.57] We ain't forget you meeting, we skipped it on ****ing purpose, dog (ooo)
[01:58.01] The next one's for my girl tho
[02:00.13] That's why I changed up my tempo
[02:01.86] And number twelve would be a laugh and I'd just end it at that
[02:04.92] Load the drums in, and bring it right back, yeah
[02:07.36] The last four are for the truth, but it don't sell enough records
[02:10.26] So I would try to keep it catchy and disguise that I'm clever
[02:12.75] But you won't hear it at a party or the radio ever
[02:15.50] They wanna listen to something that don't require no effort
[02:18.20] And I done ran outta room, so I talk on the end
[02:21.02] But all they want's the hook, so I make it real quick
[02:23.71] If the world started burning, would we put it out together?
[02:26.45] Or would we still fight with one another?
[02:28.99] Everybody on the right side hit that sway
[02:31.58] Everybody on the left do the same old thing
[02:34.14] Talk is cheap, but, just know, my time sure ain't
[02:36.83] I hope the blind man dance and the deaf one sing
[02:39.49] I hope the world keeps spinning
[02:40.92] And my friends keep winning
[02:42.27] And my parents keep living
[02:43.62] And the bad stop sinning
[02:44.93] Lil' Wayne keeps spitting, and, when push comes to shove
[02:47.64] Would you turn your shoulder, or would you learn to love?
[03:12.30] Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[03:17.80] Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[03:23.10] Someday, we'll put it together and get it all done
[03:28.41] Someday, when your head is much lighter (Ooo)
[03:34.17] Someday, we'll walk in the rays of the beautiful sun
[03:38.97] Someday, when the world is much brighter
[03:44.43] Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[03:49.84] Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[03:54.10] Ooo, child, things are gonna get easier
[04:00.27] Ooo, child, things'll get brighter
[04:05.70] Yeah, this ain't a rant -- I'm just passionate
[04:07.91] The God that I believe in don't make accidents
[04:09.86] So God, while you watch my latest verse
[04:11.67] I know I never go to church
[04:13.02] But I just pray this ain't the year I have to lay in a hearse
[04:15.63] It's July thirty-first of two-thousand-seventeen
[04:18.16] I'm in a studio in Indi wearing Nike's and some jeans
[04:21.06] And I'm broke than a *****, drive a old Mazda 6
[04:23.66] But it's better than a coupe 'cause I can fit all my friends
[04:26.31] Joey made it out the pen, but I was working on this
[04:28.86] By the time I got it finished, he went right back in
[04:31.52] Let him down as a friend, didn't get the help that he needs
[04:34.20] And the system failed him when they sent him back for some weed
[04:36.98] Man, it's July thirty-first and Donald Trump is on the news
[04:39.68] He fired his Chief of Staff and we're all hella confused
[04:42.35] And look, I ain't the type to really rap about no politics, but how the **** is Donald Trump our president?
[04:47.11] I digress
[04:48.15] Yeah, and there's a lot of social unrest
[04:50.57] Remember that a conversation's progress
[04:52.57] So talk to your neighbor, talk to a stranger
[04:55.10] Love a little harder, do someone a favor
[04:57.75] I know that I ain't perfect
[04:59.22] I know I make mistakes
[05:00.42] I know that you ain't perfect
[05:01.85] 'Cause we one in the same
[05:03.12] I know you feel sad
[05:04.39] And I know you feel alone
[05:05.58] Because everybody does
[05:06.96] Don't be scared to use the phone, yeah
[05:08.79] Man, it's July thirty-first and I'm sweating in the booth
[05:11.69] And there's people in the industry that want me to lose
[05:14.22] But they a little too late, only love me to hate
[05:16.87] I done found my way, so can't nobody get in my way
[05:19.47] Yes, it's July thirty-first and I'm 'bout to wrap this song up -- it's a pretty long one, yeah
[05:25.46] Heh, I'm sorry I had to detox
[05:27.94] So, pardon me while I step off of my soapbox
[05:30.64] But, to the listener, this one's for you
[05:33.09] If we ain't never met: nice to meet you, I'm Q
[05:35.66] All my friends call me "Mitch", and you should, too
[05:38.16] I make music for a living
[05:39.63] I'm no different than you
[05:40.78] But what I really wanna say
[05:42.26] No matter where you stay
[05:43.66] No matter what you do or no matter what you're paid
[05:46.39] No matter who you love and no matter who you hate, yeah
[05:49.57] I just hope you live your best life
[05:54.27] Yeah
[05:55.20] I hope you live your best life
[05:56.75] If the world started burning, would we put it out together?
[05:59.78] Or will we still fight with one another?
