CMCB's time - Chinese hip hop brothers
CMCB's time has already arrived
Ever since I was young I've had this far-fetched dream
To command the attention of thousands

Though I have been striving toward this goal
For the longest time
I have yet to feel the joy of success
Day by day by day I hustle on

The only alternative - a life of poverty
Without the care and understanding of other people
Who knows how long I'd be able to hold out
And buy time for the music to develop

Whether CMCB can survive in China
Depends on whether people want to elevate their conscious
Whether they are brave enough to accept new ideas

CMCB transforms Chinese people's worldviews
Alvin and the Chipmunks and [our] hip hop have nothing in common
Young people need intense experiences
They need clear-eyed critiques that speak to their reality

[repeat the following 4 verses 2x:]
You hurl insults at me and pick on my problems
I let you slander my lyrics and you feel sorry
Making people chatter wasn't my goal
But there's a lot in life that I gotta get used to
When that time comes, when everything is pleasant to look at
Maybe that black mood I harbor towards you will be gone
Maybe I can consider living with you in peace
I'll bitch and moan no more

Pop songs are nice and all
But this constant drone of 'oh you hurt me' and 'oh i love you'
Hearing it so many times, don't you get fed up?
I offer my music as a palate cleanser, and you still refuse
Once we pass this town there won't be another store, you better not have regrets

Money beauty house, I want those things too
And yeah, I wanna become a superstar
I want to become a
CMCB's time has already arrived
Nothing can stop us, nothing can stop us
