顶着天踩着地
为了家为了我兄弟
顶着天踩着地
为了她为了我和你
我的头顶着天
我的脚踩着地
站在风口浪尖
吸着日月精气
我的右手拿着刀斧
正在开天辟地
要被世人记住
就必须做定先例
时间无法倒转
闹钟又在嘀嘀嗒嗒
是什么 是这种文化
教我 peace and love
古人说的经典名句
我全都收下
要让Hip Hop
成为主流
不只存在地下
从今天开始
让我来开世
我踩得踏实

我准备开始放肆
不再备受控制
写下新的历史
Are you ready for this
我准备秀个极致
终究我还是我
哟 我还是我
你抓不住我包不住火
我从来不躲你攻不破
就跟着那江河水哗啦啦流

顶着天踩着地
为了家为了我兄弟
顶着天踩着地
为了她为了我和你
你莫管他是啥子人
他从小都很浑
不相信命运
不相信嘞个世界有神
他啥子都不怕
就只怕他们爸
怕黄金棍儿炒肉丝
嘞种恐怖的惩罚
他总是说
这世界不公平
你混不好
只怪你不聪明
是为什么
他想了特别久
人生的路
抬头往前面走
我写的好词
就像是陶瓷
就像是宝石 能保值
因为我保持着咬文嚼字
像好吃的美食
味蕾随时能维持兴趣
未知的配方
才是最有力的说辞boy
你可以睡
但请你注意你的睡姿boy
你可以背
但你别背都无法垂直boy
为了爱人
为了兄弟一路飞驰boy
想开天辟地
就得站在这个位置boy

顶着天踩着地
为了家为了我兄弟
顶着天踩着地
为了她为了我和你
从天上来的flow
都来自我的手
我们一起商讨
新的创造
四个小时刚好
接着上道
我们一起商讨
新的创造
四个小时刚好
接着上道
不要跟我闹
不要跟我闹
跟我一起摇
跟我一起摇
不要跟我闹
不要跟我闹
跟我一起摇
跟我一起摇

我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地
我顶着天踩着地

English version (translated by me):
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For my family for my homie
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For her for you and me
I hold the sky
I stamp on the earth
I stand against the tide
Breathing the essence of nature
I grab an axe in my right hand
Creating a new world at the same time
To be remembered by humans
I have to make the first example
Time cannot be rewound
The alarm clock is ticking again
What is it? It's that culture
That teaches me peace and love
I embrace all
Classics said by the ancients
I want hip hop to be the mainstream
Instead of only remaining underground
From today
Let me create a new world
I stamp on my journey steadfastly
I'm ready to start going wild
Instead of being controlled
I'll write down new victory
Are you ready for this
I'm ready to show out everything
After all, I'm still myself
Yo I'm still myself
You can't catch me or hold the fire
Even if I never hide myself you still can't overtake me
Just freely flow with the surging river

I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For my family for my homie
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For her for you and me
Don't you mess with him
He's a jerk since he was a kid
He doesn't believe in destiny
Or there's any god in this world
He's afraid of nothing
Except his papa
He's actually afraid of his bludgeon
A horrible punishment
He always says
The world is unfair
If you're not doing well
That's your own fault
Why it's that?
He's thought of it for a really long time
The path of life is ahead
Just lift your head and walk ahead
My good flow
Is like porcelain
It's like gem that keep its values
Because I always read
Like enjoying cate
My taste buds always maintain their interests
Unknown ingredients
Are the most powerful speech boy
You can sleep
But mind your pose boy
You can recite
But you should straighten your back boy
For lovers
For homies I speed up along the journey boy
If you want to create a new world
You have to stand at this position boy

I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For my family for my homie
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
For her for you and me
Flow from the sky
all comes from my hand
We discuss together
New creations
4 hours are perfect
Let's get on our journey
Don't mess with me
Don't mess with me
Shake with me
Shake with me
Don't mess with me
Don't mess with me
Shake with me
Shake with me

I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
I hold the sky and stamp on the ground
