0:00Wings (羽翼) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (麦克莫和瑞恩·刘易斯)
0:03I was seven years old when I got my first pair
0:06And I stepped outside
0:08And I was like Momma this air bubble right here it's gonna make me fly
0:15I hit that court and when I jumped I jumped I swear I got so high
0:21I touched the net Mom I touched the net this is the best day of my life
0:28Air Maxes were next
0:30That air bubble that mesh
0:32The box the smell the stuffin the tread in school
0:36I was so cool
0:37I knew that I couldn't crease 'em
0:39My friends couldn't afford 'em
0:40Four stripes on their Adidas
0:42On the court I wasn't the best but my kicks were like the pros
0:45Yo I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo
0:48Nike Air Flight but bad was so dope
0:52And then my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours whoa
0:58See he just wanted a jump shot but they wanted a Starter coat though
1:02Didn't wanna get caught from Genesee Park to Othello
1:05You'd get clowned for those Pro Wings with the velcro
1:08Those were not tight
1:09I was trying to fly without leaving the ground cause I wanted to be like Mike right
1:14Wanted to be him
1:15I wanted to be that guy I wanted to touch the rim
1:18I wanted to be cool and I wanted to fit in
1:22I wanted what he had America it begins
1:25I want to fly
1:27Can you take me far away
1:32Give me a star to reach for
1:35Tell me what it takes
1:37And I'll go so high
1:39I'll go so high
1:41My feet won't touch the ground
1:43Stitch my wings
1:44And pull the strings
1:46I bought these dreams
1:49That all fall down
1:51We want what we can't have commodity makes us want it
1:54So expensive damn I just got to flaunt it
1:58Got to show 'em so exclusive this that new shit
2:01A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in
2:05Look at me look at me I'm a cool kid
2:08I'm an individual yea but I'm part of a movement
2:11My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it
2:14They told me to just do it I listened to what that swoosh said
2:18Look at what that swoosh did
2:19See it consumed my thoughts
2:21Are you stupid don't crease 'em just leave 'em in that box
2:24Strangled by these laces laces I can barely talk
2:27That's my air bubble and I'm lost if it pops
2:31We are what we wear we wear what we are
2:33But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all
2:37Will I stand for change or stay in my box
2:40These Nikes help me define me and I'm trying to take mine off
3:48I want to fly
3:50Can you take me far away
3:55Give me a star to reach for
3:58Tell me what it takes
4:00And I'll go so high
4:02I'll go so high
4:04My feet won't touch the ground
4:06Stitch my wings
4:08And pull the strings
4:09I bought these dreams
4:11That all fall down
4:27They started out with what I wear to school
4:29That first day like these are what make you cool
4:32And this pair this would be my parachute
4:35So much more than just a pair of shoes
4:38Nah this is what I am
4:40What I wore this is the source of my youth
4:42This dream that they sold to you
4:45For a hundred dollars and some change
4:48Consumption is in the veins
4:49And now I see it's just another pair of shoes
