  1. 三文鱼 五碗饭 塞进 胃里 why not

    Salmon, five bowls of rice, packed into my belly, why not

  2. Young Asian got dreads, romantic, why not

    Young Asian with dreads, a romantic vibe, why not?

  3. Air Jordans, skinny jeans, polo shirt, why not

  4. Higher gang, rockin' band, turn the fuck up, why not

    Higher gang, rockin' band, let's turn it up, why not

  5. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

    Take a wild leap, dance like no one's watching

  6. Making hits 造武器 轰炸每一天

    Creating weapons, blasting every single day.

  7. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

    Take a wild leap, embrace the wild beat

  8. Ace Hood, Kris Wu 都是我的 fans

    Ace Hood and Kris Wu are both my fans

  1. I'm King Kong, I'm James Bond 舞池里面被我染的鲜红

    I'm King Kong, I'm James Bond, the dance floor dyed in my bright red.

  2. 还没掏枪你就先怂 象征和平的鸽子又飞上天空

    Before you even draw the gun, you back down first, the dove of peace flies back up to the sky.

  3. 当金刚狼把爪子伸出来 代表有人马上要被大卸八块

    When Wolverine extends his claws, it means someone’s about to get torn apart.

  4. 14厘米厚的铁门一爪打开 这一幕把电视前的你给吓呆

    With a single swipe, the 14-centimeter thick iron door swings wide, leaving you stunned in front of the screen.

  5. 古惑仔 就别问我从哪来 都爬开

    Gangsters, don't ask me where I'm from, just step aside.

  6. 在 CDC 的保利中心妹都喊我华仔

    At the Poly Center in CDC, all the girls call me Wah Jai.

  7. 钱都溢出口袋 兄弟团结友爱

    Money overflowing from my pockets, brotherhood united in love.

  8. Vodka, Martini 舌头上面涂上鱼子酱

    Vodka, Martini, topped on my tongue with caviar.

  9. 见棺材不落泪 why not 快让你兄弟们一起上

    Seeing the coffin, I shed no tears, why not? Let your brothers join in.

  10. 我不怕自然的灾害 也活得下来因为比你胖

    I fear no natural disasters, I survive because I'm bigger than you.

  11. 电话关机我在飞机上 要到芬兰寻找北极光

    Phone turned off and I’m on a plane, heading to Finland to chase the Northern Lights.

  12. 穿越到侏罗纪 降落在部落里 随时随地都在嘴里唱

    Traveling back to the Jurassic, landing in the tribe, always singing wherever I go.

  13. 三文鱼 五碗饭 塞进 胃里 why not

    Salmon, five bowls of rice, stuffed inside, why not

  14. Young Asian got dreads, romantic, why not

  15. Air Jordans, skinny jeans, polo shirt, why not

  16. Higher gang, rockin' band, turn the fuck up, why not

  17. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

  18. Making hits 造武器 轰炸每一天

    Making hits, crafting weapons, blowing up every day

  19. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

  20. Ace Hood, Kris Wu 都是我的 fans

    Ace Hood, Kris Wu, they're all my fans

  21. 伤脑筋 不要不高兴 你要怪就怪你自己没有主角命

    Troublesome thoughts, don't be upset, if you're to blame, blame yourself for not being the main character

  22. 坏毛病 搞不定 我们说 话情不自禁的押韵

    Bad habits, can't control, we say, our words naturally rhyme

  23. 纯白色的 T 丢进洗衣机 保证每次登台亮相穿的很干净

    A pure white T-shirt tossed in the washer, guaranteed to shine clean every time I step on stage.

  24. 你身体著了魔 房顶也著了火

    Your body’s enchanted, the roof is catching fire.

  25. 看死神来了 1234 没人熬得过跑得脱

    Death is coming, 1234, no one can endure or escape.

  26. 人群里面冲个浪 全人类说中国棒

    Riding the waves in the crowd, all of humanity cheers for China.

  27. 狂得像在野生动物园 狮子老虎睡在我旁边

    Going wild as if in a zoo, lions and tigers sleeping right beside me.

  28. 很抱歉我们的玩笑开的大 称霸的范围到火星地带

    I’m sorry our jokes are grand, taking over realms all the way to Mars.

  29. 登上了山顶冰雪被融化 历史注定会把我记载

    Climbed to the mountaintop, the ice and snow melted, history is bound to record my name.

  30. 我听说你打了16套军体拳却被捅了32刀 哎真倒霉 该怪谁

    I heard you threw 16 military punches but got stabbed 32 times, oh how unlucky, who to blame?

  31. 你要知道 在你挑衅之前 我都已经能看到你遗体

    You should know, even before you provoke, I could already see your corpse.

  32. 有人说我条件很好 给你一个机会把身份对调

    Some say I have great conditions, giving you a chance to swap identities.

  33. 从头再来一样能够办到 在犹豫什么 行动吧 why not

    Start over, still can make it happen, what's there to hesitate? Take action, why not?

  34. 三文鱼 五碗饭 塞进 胃里 why not

    Salmon, five bowls of rice, packed into my belly, why not?

  35. Young Asian got dreads, romantic, why not

    Young Asian with dreads, romantic vibes, why not?

  36. Air Jordans, skinny jeans, polo shirt, why not

  37. Higher gang, rockin' band, turn the fuck up, why not

    Higher gang, rocking the band, let's turn it up, why not?

  38. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

  39. Making hits 造武器 轰炸每一天

    Making hits, crafting weapons, blasting every day,

  40. Take a crazy chance, do a crazy dance

  41. Ace Hood, Kris Wu 都是我的 fans

    Ace Hood, Kris Wu, they're all my fans,

  42. 小朋友们 你们明白了吗

    Hey kids, do you understand?
