Didn't I raise my voice 没有我提出我的声音

I was running like a fugitive all the time 我像一个逃犯所有的时间运行

Risking rejection from my own people yeah 从我自己的人民冒着甩呀

Now that you got what you wanted 现在你得到了你想要的东西

Didn't I raise fists high enough for you 没有我提出的拳头够高你

I guess I can't pat myself on the shoulder 我想我不能拍自己的肩膀

For a job well done 对于工作出色

Dodging bullets in the streets 在街头躲避子弹

I was there 我在那里

Risking rejection from my own people yeah 从我自己的人民冒着甩呀

Now that you got what you wanted 现在你得到了你想要的东西

You don't even know my name 你甚至不知道我的名字

Up the ladder 'cause you'll need 爬上梯子，因为你需要
