Shanghai Sin

Shh... 别问太多 (don't ask too much)
Shanghai made me cold, 2012
Now I move like art
Parasites, never let them in, never let them in
你看不见的事才最危险 (It's the things you can't see that are the most dangerous)

I played the long game
背叛我的人都静悄悄消失 (Those who betrayed me vanished without a sound)
这不是巧合，是我写的剧本, (It wasn't fate, it was my script)
I don't trust the light, cos I learned in the dark
Me and self and I

谁在背后放冷箭？(Who's stabbing me in the back)
I see it, catch it, end it
I'm the quietest threat
I sip my truth, watch you lie
你以为你赢了, 我还没开始呢 (You think you've won? I haven't even started yet)

You value me, I value you
You give me your heart, I give you my world
忠诚， 不是每个人配得起 (Not everyone is worthy of loyalty)
No smiles, no fear, no words, just maths

你问我为什么冷 (You ask me why I'm cold?)
因为我天真信过人 (Because I once naively trusted people)
They fear a man with a gun, fear me more when I turn around
我心里一直有天 (There's always been a god in my heart)
他在黑夜替我点灯 (Lighting my way through the darkness)
The universe wanted me to drown, 他的 voice kept me standing strong

I keep my head down, live and learn
Stripped it all back, just beats and strings, that burn
Refuse to cage my soul, I bow to no systems
No titles ，no导演(directors)，no老板(bosses)， 放屁(BS)

Bribery, it comes in many forms
If you don't read between the lines, 淘汰 (eliminated), you're gone
I was young, wanted it all, did what I was told
No shield, no guide, this game? Awards can be bought

Back to being independent
Cut from the strings, done being their puppet
What's freedom worth if your art's in a box
Fame and stardom just prettier locks

I got the best genes from my ma and pa
Best game from my grandpa and grandma
Taught by old heads, 五千年的文化 (5000 years of culture)
One day these parasites will chock on my art

你问我为什么冷 (You ask me why I'm cold?)
因为我天真信过人 (Because I once naively trusted people)
They fear a man with a gun, fear me more when I turn around
我心里一直有天 (There's always been a god in my heart)
他在黑夜替我点灯 (Lighting my way through the darkness)
The universe wanted me to drown, 他的 voice kept me standing strong
