- gowe Jazz City Poets 歌詞
- gowe
- I'm in a jazz club, I hear the music play
我身處爵士俱樂部中，音樂在我耳邊環繞
I feel the saxophone notes but I just stare at his face
我感受到薩克斯在我耳邊響起但卻移不開我注視他的目光
And I reflect upon his fluid form of movements
他嫻熟的技藝在我腦海中不斷重現
His use of the best band comprised of a couple students, my goodness!
誰能想到他所使用的樂隊居然只由幾個學生組成
I mean talent wise his skill was incomparable
天才的智慧，無可匹敵的技藝
To anything that I've seen so I just ponder and watch
我思考和觀察著我看到的一切
I just look on and really didn't want it to stop tracks that he laid
我繼續前行，無法忘記他留下的痕跡
paid for the train in my thoughts I patiently wait
付了車錢，但我的心依舊停留在他的音樂中
thinking bout this man and his past Did he rock a million shows
他和他的過去，曾引起無數的轟動，他曾炸翻過無數次表演
make a hundred thousand in cash With a few platinum plaques
帶上一大筆錢和幾塊珠寶
at his pad outside of reno Or did he fall deep inside of a new casino
在里諾外的公寓裡，還是在新賭場的深處
These are questions that I pose when I ponder On the chance of me
一些疑惑在我思考的時候浮現
like 20 years down the road when I am half of me
二十年後我是否會變得不再完整？
Will I fall under the same fate or direction?
我是否會陷入同樣的命運或方向？
Lessons that I've learned when I burn through my conceptions
在我三省自身時回想起自己的經歷（gowe在18歲時才知道自己是被領養的，此前十八年一致認為自己是華人而非韓國人）

寒夜刺骨，孤身一人

My moms flipped her script when I told her about my gigs but its cool,

親子鑑定後（原文是被血清絆倒，指gowe和養父母做親子鑑定後），我神誌不清
Feelings in my chest like I'm ripping it through a vest

And im taking it to the next step, kill the regret
但我還得堅持下去，不給自己留遺憾
