At 7:45 a.m., I open the doors to a building

早上七時四十五分， 我推開了大樓的數扇門，

dedicated to building, yet only breaks me down.

那數扇門奉獻給大樓， 卻只打倒了我，

I march down hallways cleaned up after me every day

but I never have the decency to honor their names.

我從不懂禮貌去銘記他們的名字。

Lockers left open like teenage boys' mouths

敞開的儲物櫃，猶如少男的嘴巴，

when teenage girls wear clothes that covers

their insecurities but exposes everything else.

掩住了不安，卻暴露其他一切，

Masculinity mimicked by men who grew up with no fathers,

成長過程中男孩沒有了父親， 卻模仿著成年人的男子氣概，

camouflage worn by bullies who are dangerously armed

穿迷彩服的持械小霸王， 非常危險，

Teachers paid less than what it costs them to be here.

教師們不計薪資微薄，到這裡來，

Oceans of adolescents come here to receive lessons

青少年浩浩蕩蕩到來上課， 像一望無際的海洋，

part like the Red Sea when the bell rings.

下課鐘聲響起來，儼如紅海分開。

有著各式各樣的不同、 故意地實施隔離政策，

Labels like "Regulars" and "Honors" resonate.

迴盪著「普通」和「精英」的標籤，

I am an Honors but go home with Regular students

我是名「精英」， 歸家路上卻伴隨著「普通」學生，

who are soldiers in territory that owns them.

他們是這塊疆土的士兵， 擁有這塊疆土，

This is a training ground to sort out the Regulars

這是一個訓練場，區分「普通」

和「精英」，建立了循環週期，

built to recycle the trash of this system.

自小受教於師長，要知書識禮，

letters taught now that capitalism raises you

but you have to step on someone else to get there.

要到達那裡，只好把別人踩在腳下，

This is a training ground where one group

is taught to lead and the other is made to follow.

No wonder so many of my people spit bars,

無疑我們那麼多人當上饒舌歌手，

The need for degrees has left so many people frozen.

為求一張學位證書， 多少人冷凍兩眼發直，

but when you go home every day and your home is work,

當你每天歸家後，還要做功課，

you don't want to pick up any assignments.

but reading does not matter when you feel

當你覺得反正死路一條， 或遲早登記入冊，

but I believe they're succeeding at what they're built to do --

to track down an American dream that has failed
