錯誤可以讓你成長，但這並不代表你們是朋友。
Mistakes can make you grow, that doesn’t mean you’re friends.
你是誰取決於你，不要讓別人決定，不。
Who you are is up to you, don’t leave it up to them, no.

[Chorus]

"You'll understand when you're older"
“等你長大了你就會明白的”
Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know if
我想我還是個孩子，我什麼都不懂，如果

You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it?
你在生活中想要一些東西，那你為什麼不去嘗試得到它呢？
Actions speak louder than words do—it's pretty quiet, isn't it?

這些人會告訴你，你永遠不會成功
Then when you do, they gon' say they knew you were goin' places
然後當你成功時，他們會說他們早就知道你是能成為大人物
That's just how it works, next thing you know you'll be overrated
這就是現實運作的方式，接下來你就會知道你會被社會高估
Hearing people say they miss the old you—it's crazy, ain't it?
聽到人們說他們想念從前的你——這很瘋狂，不是嗎？
And perfect people don't exist, so don't pretend to be one
完美的人並不存在，所以不要假裝自己是完美的人
I don't need pats on the back from people for my achievements
我不需要別人為我達到的成就，拍拍我的背給我表揚
When I die I wanna know that I lived for a reason
當我死的時候我想知道，我活著是有原因的
Anyone can take your life, but not what you believe in, no!
任何人都可以奪走你的生命，但不能奪走你所信仰的東西，不！
