I was seven years old,那年我七歲
when I got my first pair得到了第壹雙球鞋
And I stepped outside我跑到戶外
And I was like, Momma, this air bubble right here, it’s gonna make me fly我在喊，媽媽，這裏面有氣墊，它會讓我飛起來
I hit that court, and when I jumped, I jumped, I swear I got so high我來到球場，我跳，我奮力壹跳，我發誓我真的跳的有那麽高
I touched the net, Mom I touched the net, this is the best day of my life我摸到了籃網，媽媽我摸到了籃網！這是我壹生最爽的壹天
Air Max’s were next,下壹雙是Air Max
That air bubble, that mesh
The box, the smell, the stuffin, the tread, 那氣墊，那網眼，那盒子，那氣味，那用料，那鞋底
in school I was so cool在學校我最cool
I knew that I couldn’t crease ‘em
My friends couldn’t afford ‘em
Four stripes, some Air-didas我知道我不能弄皺它，我的死黨都買不起。他們穿的還是四道杠，阿迪王
On the court I wasn’t the best, but my kicks were like the pros在球場我不是最出色的，但我的裝備就像專業的
Yo, I stick out my tongue so everyone could see that logo喲，我卷起褲卷露出鞋，只想讓所有人看到那logo
Nike Air Flight, but bad was so dopeNike Air Flight，配這球鞋即使打得不好也酷斃了
And then my friend Carlos’ brother got murdered for his fours, whoa我朋友Carlos兄弟因為穿著4代而被欺負，喔...
See he just wanted a jump shot, but they wanted to start a cult though他不過想要跳投壹個，但別人卻只為跟風
Didn’t wanna get caught, from Genesee Park to Othello他不想被小混混抓到，從Genesee公園逃到Othello
You could clown for those Probings, with the velcro
Those were not tight妳可以嘲笑這些帶魔術貼的Probing。那些連鞋帶都沒有（Probing不知道是啥..）
I was trying to fly without leaving the ground, cuz I wanted to be like Mike, right Wanted to be him 我試過起飛，卻離不開地面，因為我想成為喬丹，沒錯，想和他壹樣
I wanted to be that guy, I wanted to touch the rim我想成為那家夥，我想觸摸籃筐
I wanted to be cool, and I wanted to fit in我想做潮人，我想緊跟潮流
I wanted what he had, America, it begins我想要他擁有的壹切，美國，夢始
Chorus:
I want to fly我想高飛
Can you take me far away妳能帶我飛向遠方麽
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes賜予我壹顆觸手可及的星星，告訴我要付出多少
And I’ll go so high
I’ll go so high
My feet won’t touch the ground我會展翅高飛，我會飛得那麽高，雙腳離地
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down伸展我的羽翼，系緊鞋帶，我買到這些夢寐以求的，卻讓人心灰意冷
We want what we can’t have, commodity makes us want it對我們來說遙不可及的鞋子們，在貨架上也渴望我們帶它們回家
So expensive, damn, I just got to flaunt it媽的真貴，我壹個勁地炫耀
Got to show ‘em, so exclusive, this that new shit曬給別人看，那可是獨壹無二，最新款的呢
A hundred dollars for a pair of shoes I would never hoop in壹百刀的戰靴，卻穿都沒穿過
Look at me, look at me, I’m a cool kid看看我，快看我，我是最潮的小孩
I’m an individual, yea, but I’m part of a movement我自以為自己是特立獨行，卻又是球鞋收藏者的壹份子
My movement told me be a consumer and I consumed it我對AJ的熱愛使我成為Nike的熟客，我也壹直買買買
They told me to just do it, I listened to what that swoosh said我聽從圓月彎刀所說的盡管去做（swoosh是Nike商標，這裏翻譯成圓月彎刀，下同）
Look at what that swoosh did
See it consumed my thoughts那鉤鉤到底對我做了什麽，它俘獲了我的心
Are you stupid, don’t crease ‘em, just leave ‘em in that box妳個笨蛋，不要弄皺妳的寶貝，快放回盒子裏
Strangled by these laces, laces I can barely talk
That’s my air bubble and I’m lost, if it pops那是我的專屬氣墊，要是爆了，就什麽也沒有了
We are what we wear, we wear what we are吾乃吾所穿，我穿的是我的專屬戰靴
But see I look inside the mirror and think Phil Knight tricked us all可我看到自己和別人撞鞋了，Phil Knight妳是在耍我嗎（Phil Knight：Nike創始人）
Will I stand for change, or stay in my box我該換換口味，還是原地踏步
These Nikes help me define me, and I’m trying to take mine, off這些Nike鞋已在我心中烙下深深的烙印，我正努力讓自己，起飛
Chorus:
I want to fly 我想高飛
Can you take me far away 妳能帶我飛向遠方麽
Give me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes 賜予我壹顆觸手可及的星星，告訴我要付出多少
And I’ll go so high
I’ll go so high
My feet won’t touch the ground 我會展翅高飛，我會飛得那麽高，雙腳離地
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down 伸展我的羽翼，系緊鞋帶，我買到這些夢寐以求的，卻讓人心灰意冷
They started out, with what I wear to school他們也出發了，穿著我當初穿去學校的那雙
That first day, like these are what make you cool第壹天也讓他們覺得碉堡了
And this pair, this would be my parachute這雙鞋對我來說是降落傘
So much more than just a pair of shoes這不只是壹雙鞋子
Nah, this is what I am這就是我
What I wore, this is the source of my youth我穿的就是我年輕力量的源泉
This dream that they sold to you他們賣給妳的這些夢想
For a hundred dollars and some change以壹百刀的價格以及不斷更新換代
Consumption is in the veins已然耗盡
And now I see it’s just another pair of shoes現在我看到的AJ，泯然常物矣
