[Chorus: Connor Price]
Woo! Feelin' so tall I could give a high five to the pilot
我覺得自己就是巨人的肩膀，高的可以跟飛機駕駛員擊個掌
Yeah, family tight I keep small circle like eyelet
把信任的圈子收攏，就像瞳孔一樣小
Woah, inbox full of contracts I sign with a stylus
信箱裡塞滿我用唱針簽的合約
Yeah, blue faces blowin' up like Violet
那些嫉妒我的人一個個面紅耳赤準備心態炸裂
[Verse 1: Connor Price]
Talk about the things they gonna say when they see me
在背後想著見到我的時候要怎麼嗆我
And when they see me they just dap me up and say good to meet me
但真的看到我了又只敢碰拳哈拉
I keep it goin', flowin' over this, I make it look easy
我拼命努力，事業流暢得跟我的歌詞一樣，像很輕鬆一樣
Easy for me to say I do this every day of the week
一週七天，全都在工作，你用聽的當然覺得簡單
I'm eager to be the one they talk about when all said and done with it
我要成為那個大家搶著蹭熱度，卻只敢在背後羨慕和嫉妒
I'm the featurе that they want, but then they don't whеn I come with it
我是大家爭先恐後的合作對象，但真的輪到我唱了又怕我把鋒芒搶走
I'm a scene-stealer, seat-filler, blow up the numbers
我會帶走你的觀眾，我會是你能客滿的原因，流量炸開也都是我
And I ain't leavin' no crumbs, so you know when I'm done with it
我不會留給你剩飯，如果我不爽想閃人了你到時候就知道
I'm a new school vibe with an old soul
我有著老靈魂，卻席捲新的潮流
Oh, so great, stay paid by the boat load
現在很好，現金像貨輪一樣一艘艘進場
Don't go chasin' the wave, I'm a row boat
別試圖來追我的浪，老子有船的
Blow smoke right through the face of the ozone, oh no
我勢如破竹，簡直衝破雲端
I got the bag, I'm back to just double it
賺了滿袋的錢，我現在要來將它翻倍
I'm 'bout to pop the top, I been bubblin'
我要直衝到頂點，如沸水般翻湧
They want the spot, but I do not cut 'em in
大家都想搶C位，但我會一個一個把他們打下
They tryna plot my drop, they been huddlin'
他們密謀想把我擠下，瞧他們狼狽為奸的
[Chorus: Connor Price & Killa]
Ah, feelin' so tall I could give a high five to the pilot
我覺得自己就是巨人的肩膀，高的可以跟飛機駕駛員擊個掌
Yeah, family tight, I keep small circle like eyelet
把信任的圈子收攏，就像瞳孔一樣小
Woah, inbox full of contracts I sign with a stylus (Killa)
信箱裡塞滿我用唱針簽的合約
Yeah, blue faces blowin' up like Violet (Yo)
那些嫉妒我的人一個個面紅耳赤準備心態炸裂
[Verse 2: Killa]
I know a lot of people prayin' for my downfall
我知道很多人期待著我的衰落
But the only thing that I'll be down for is bein' top five, but like down four
我唯一不當冠軍時也會有前五，不多不少只贏四位（＊註）
I'm down to earth like the ground floor
我的底子堅若磐石
But I've been fly so long, I tend to ask people, "What's the ground for?"
但我實在混在高端太久了，有時候健忘跟你們請教：基本功是什麼？
Man, I'm only headed up
我只會向上看齊
See, my flow volcanic, this the fire I erupt
我的作品像火山爆紅噴發
Heard the fans gettin' rowdy 'cause they haven't had enough
粉絲們吵著要我寫更多因為他們直呼上癮
You know I'm runnin' the city, you just running out of luck
你懂的，我的時間要拿來巡演，而你還在浪費時間祈求好運
Huh, yeah, I said it with my chest
是的，我每字每句都胸有成竹
I flow hard, it's no wonder that they easily impressed
嗆辣的作品，聽過的人都印象深刻
I'm so far, but I'm always comin' back with somethin' fresh
我在饒舌圈打滾深入，但絕不老套過時
I never rest, swear you'll never catch this eagle in a nest
我不需要休息，讓你守株也待不到兔
I invest my time in the booth I find
我把時間放在每個爭取到的機會上
The peace I use to piece the boom in my mind
努力打拼就是我心中要追求的
My ex knows this, let me expose this
我的前任嫌我在忙自己的不給她時間
She left 'cause she don't wanna be with an explosive
她受不住只能離開，禁不起爆紅的我
Man, I'm just
老兄，我現在感覺
[Chorus: Connor Price]
Feelin' so tall I could give a high five to the pilot
自己就是巨人的肩膀，高的可以跟飛機駕駛員擊個掌
Yeah, family tight, I keep small circle like eyelet
把信任的圈子收攏，就像瞳孔一樣小
Woah, inbox full of contracts I sign with a stylus
信箱裡塞滿我用唱針簽的合約
Yeah, blue faces blowin' up like Violet
那些嫉妒我的人一個個面紅耳赤準備心態炸裂
註：
*這是我第一次翻譯饒舌歌曲，雖然奇耳除了R&B外聽最多的曲風大概就是饒舌了，但從來沒有成功翻完一首歌過。聽得懂是沒問題，不過現今饒舌中常常充斥的第一人稱、譬喻法、嘴砲，還有各種假想敵、自我膨脹等等，更不要說英文的押韻了，都會讓饒舌歌詞中文化的難度相比其他曲風，是直接大漲了幾個維度。
還有尷尬程度也是直線上升，不像抒情歌大家多少都身在其中。饒舌歌曲時常劍拔弩張，而奇耳的生活風平浪靜，平時沒有力爭上游也沒有人想把我做掉，所以翻譯的時候只能純靠腦補，所有歌詞頓時就顯得中二難耐。
但不得不說，試著翻譯還是非常有趣的，尤其像<Violet>這種充滿幹勁卻不帶髒字的詞真是難能可貴妙不可言，更是值得挑戰。*
「But the only thing that I'll be down for is bein' top five, but like down four」這句應該是整首歌詞最強的一段了，根本是寫詞的火力展示，意思要完整的用中文詮釋有點困難，奇耳選在註記這邊簡單解構一下：
But the only thing that I'll be down for我唯一會下降到的地方是⇨因為前面都在說自己是第一名
is bein' top five前五名⇨可以理解成各大音樂公信力平台會公佈的歌曲排名，主角不當第一的也至少有前五
but like down fou但還是能贏過四個人⇨前五名但是贏過四個人，就是第一名的換句話說啦！
