The Calling

For many years I was seeking asylum，in the bleakest environments，
Rhyme possessed me, while many started speaking retirement,
〖在感覺中悄然萌動〗
So as I rose they all fell in the fashion of yelling and trashing,
〖接著蛻變為希望〗
For what it's worth there was no quelling the passion,
〖幻化為沈靜的思緒〗
Their love was dead,
〖羽化為一句低語〗
I was writing papes but getting **** all said,
[00:21.95]〖後來那聲音越來越響亮〗
So I polished my **** until my knuckles bled,
〖直到響過戰場上的吶喊〗
Treading thin ice and all I caught were chills,
[00:31.44]〖當你呼喚我〗
Sacrifices were appetisers, mics instead of meals,
〖我會回來〗
This hand was mine, so I played it until I made it expand my mind,
〖不需要說再見〗
And burned my name into the sands of time,
[00:43.03]〖只是因為世事變遷〗
Then rhyme gave me strength to less avail,
〖並不意味著一切從未上演〗
Got used to these backstabbers, so now I sleep on a bed of nails,
[00:53.66]〖當你面對戰爭〗
I never fail, but turning tides are moving too slow,
〖你所能做的只是盡力去知曉〗
I swam the depths of every ocean just to prove I could flow,
〖誰是你的朋友〗
So from the cradle to the grave, turntable to Holy Father,
[01:04.14]〖在漆黑的地平線上，擇一顆明星〗
I swear I didn't slit my wrists I got the hip-hop stigmata.
〖追隨它的光芒〗
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
[01:13.60]〖當一切完結〗
We bless the microphone nightly,
〖你將歸來〗
Open up the lyric from inside me,
〖不需要說再見〗
It's our calling that's why we say,
[01:24.17]〖當一切完結〗
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
〖你將歸來〗
We bless the microphone nightly,
〖不需要說再見〗
Open up the lyric from inside me,
[02:07.57]〖現在，我們又回到原點〗
It's our calling that's why we say…
〖它就只是一種感覺，無人知曉〗
This be calling, we could never be fake,
〖只因他們無法察覺〗
Thanks to hip-hop I got a bed in every state,
〖並不意味你要將它忘記〗
And without it I'd roam the city with no purpose,
[02:28.60]〖讓你的記憶越刻越深〗
Without the underground I'm a clown without circus,
〖直到他們在你眼前浮現〗
I flip verses, you feeling me, abilities,
[02:38.10]〖當他們呼喚你〗
My currency with which I buy credibility,
〖你將歸來〗
Facilities were built, just to be torn down,
〖不需要說再見〗
Till the wheels fall off, and my pencils all worn down,
[02:48.61]〖當他們呼喚你〗
Till death comes to collect his debt,
〖你將歸來〗
I'll wreck the set,
〖不需要說再見〗
When heads check in retrospect,
[03:01.77]溯曈
I'll get respect
[03:05.99]
Cos I did what I was called to do,
It's hip hop, I did it all for you
We true to this, got clout on turntables getting played,
We doing this without a label not getting payed
So from the cradle to the grave, microphone to retirement home
I'll be on stage;
I'll never leave the rhyme alone.
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
We bless the microphone nightly,
Open up the lyric from inside me,
It's our calling that's why we say,
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
We bless the microphone nightly,
Open up the lyric from inside me,
It's our calling that's why we say…
Either we' re all out, or we're all in,
And if we fall out, then we're all falling,
It's the calling; it's what I hear in my sleep,
It's that shiver up my spine when I'm feeling the beat,
It's that fear of defeat, the need to better myself,
It's the culture; it's not about spreading the wealth,
It's forgetting the time when you're perfecting a rhyme,
It's every drop of sweat that I shed getting mine.
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
We bless the microphone nightly,
Open up the lyric from inside me,
It's our calling that's why we say,
You got to pray to hip-hop almighty,
We bless the microphone nightly,
Open up the lyric from inside me,
It's our calling that's why we say…
You got to pray
