我還是我 - I AM WHO I AM


My name is Namewee this is how I introduce myself

從小老師 就認為我是想要惹事
My teachers always thought I was looking for trouble
我熱愛文字 我討厭公式 我不想面對考試
I love literature but I hate the school system and all its exams
我更討厭你規定我的頭髮款式
I get annoyed when people comment on my hair style
我的思考方式 沒有人能夠抑制
I was born with a mind that is beyond the control of others
大人都固執的怪我固執 不懂事
Adult always blamed me for being stubborn & naive
我明白 待人處事都有 它的模式
I realized our society has its way of life
但不代表 全部人都要變成孔子
But that doesn’t mean all of us must become Confucius

十五歲 那年初我染上音樂的毒
Age of 15 I discovered the joy of music
我透過音符 來降低我內心的無助
Through its notes I find ways to express my thoughts
我學習美術 但依然無法省悟
I tried picking up art but it could not hold my inner feelings
是孤獨創造梵谷 還是梵谷創造孤獨
Was loneliness created Van Gogh or Van Gogh created loneliness?
中學畢業後 華人得自求多福
Upon finishing high school Chinese must find ways to further their studies
揮揮衣袖 我決定要到台灣留宿
Faced with challenges I decided to pursue my education in Taiwan
爸爸媽媽不要擔心 我不會辜負
Don’t worry mom and dad I promise not to fail you
等我讀完書 一定會回到歸屬
I will return to my beloved home when I graduate
我會好好過 我必須好好過
I will be fine I must stay strong
想家的時候 我就打開電腦拼命創作
When I lone for home I turn on my PC and started writing
牆壁上的大馬國旗 是我的寄託
My Malaysian flag on the wall keeping my spirit alive
床頭的那張全家福 總是讓我振作
My family portrait beside my bed keeping my strong
一個人 在外國 要獨立生活
As a foreigner living in a strange country I learn to become independent
我做過很多工作 我面對很多數落
I took up many jobs to pay my bills and tuition fees
無論再辛苦 還有音樂陪著我
When times were tough at least I still had my music with me
我理想沒有變 因為我 還是我
My dream did not change, I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am

2007 年 那是個遲來的夏天
Summer came late in the year 2007
改編國歌事件 讓我人生從此改變
My life was forever changed with my national anthem song
透過網際網絡 我闖了禍
I got into trouble through the cyber space
但我堅持沒有犯錯 有人 說我叛國
I was misunderstood and got accused of betraying my country
有人 想幹掉我 有人 說不讓我回國
My life was threaten and I even was told I cannot come home
要我磕頭認錯 政客趁機出頭
I was pushed into the limelight by influential people trying to gain fame
媒體還配合炒作 世界 各地的記者call我
Media got into the action and suddenly international reporters started calling me
我必須學會沉著
I had to learn to stay calm
謠言越來越多 讓人陷入惶恐
Rumours started flowing and my heart started pounding
甚至 還有人把偷渡路線圖 send給我
I even received maps with international escape routes
爸爸媽媽 對不起 不要難過
Sorry mom and dad please don’t be sad
牆壁上的國旗 我從來沒有拆過
I have not taken down the flag hanging in my bedroom
我破了千萬點閱 也上了各大版面
My youtube video broke records and my face made newspaper covers
有人喜歡有人討厭面臨輿論考驗
I got cheered and got booed I must learn to face the music now
我的故事 被文學家 寫進了書
My story was documented into a book
我的臉 還被人畫成了 卡通人物
My face even got drawn into cartoon characters
再多褒與貶 都已經事過境遷
I wished that all the fame and criticism would die down some day
畢業後的我 決定勇敢面對誤解
Upon graduation I decided to return to my beloved country
我用陸路 交通跨越六個國度
With only land routes I walked across 6 countries to come home
拍攝紀錄 沿途上的驚險 和領悟
I even shot a documentary on my challenging journey
一步步 很艱苦 終於回到大馬領土
Thought every step was tought I finally came home to Malaysia
被拍照 被訪問 還被叫到警察總部
I got called to police station and faced many media interviews
雖然 你們都把我 當成公眾人物
Even though most think of me as public personality
但我必須穩住 要保持個人創作元素
But I stayed true to myself to retain my creative art

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
I have my own dream I will keep going
就算再寂寞
Even it’s a lonely path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am

有人說 我的作品荼毒青年思想
People criticized my songs for poisoning the younger generation
有人說 我的頭腦都在胡思亂想
Some said my mind is full of dirty thoughts
說我亂講 說我是社會毒瘤發癢
That I have bad morel in the civil society
還怪我 變成他兒子的偶像
Some just blamed me for becoming his son’s idol
面對攻擊 我早就已經習慣
I am used to faced difficult situations
保持沉默微笑 是我最好的答案
Keeping silent is my best defense and response
裝模作樣 從來就 不是我的強項
Putting a fake face is never an option for me
但我出門逛逛 卻要偽偽裝裝
I can no longer be myself when I go out
我的email 每天都有人來 訴苦
People write to me pleading for help everyday
但我愛莫能助因為我不是 政府
I just cannot do much because I am not the government
你們來我facebook 鼓勵我 詆毀我
Some come to my Facebook supporting and slandering me
我不刪除因為那是言論自由淨土
I didn’t delete because it is their freedom of speech
我想要讓你聽見 讓你看見
I want you to listen and I want you to see
我想說的話 我的電影 和我的音樂
The messages I convey through my voice, my film and my music
徘徊尺度邊緣 自由自在的暢所欲言
Walking the fine line in freedom of speech
那是主流媒體 永遠看不到的世界
Which is something the mainstream media can never understand
我站在不 同的的角度我不會停下腳步
I stand from a different point and I will not stop
這條思路 是老天送給我的禮物
This path is a gift from god
你說我糊塗 你甚至想要把我說服
You claimed that I am lost and want to brainwash me
對不起我 還是我那就是我的態度
Sorry, I am still who I am, and this is my attitude
在Kuala Lumpur 開始了新的生活
I am starting new life in Kuala Lumpur
這裡人潮洶湧 馬路坑坑洞洞
It is crowded here and the roads are full of potholes
一不小心 我可能會在這裡失控
If I’m not careful things may just get out of control
這條路 很難走 但我已經 沒有回頭
The path is not easy but I do not have a choice anymore

(我還是我 我還是我)
Because I am still who I am

我有我自己的夢 自己會走
I have my own dream and I will go for it
就算再寂寞
Even it is a lone path
請原諒我的衝動 我會好好過
Please forgive me for being impulsive, I will be fine
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am
我不怕暴雨狂風 將我淹沒
I’m not afraid the obstacles cos it will not drown me
毅然往前走
I will keep moving forward
就算旅途再癲頗 我不能回頭
Even if it is a journey of no return I will not give up
(相信我還是我)
Believe me I am still who I am
