Bruno Mars - lighters

가사는 꿈을 이루기 위해 저항하며 자신의 길을 찾는 이야기로, 주인공은 사회의 편견과 무관하게 성공에 대한 강한 의지를 드러낸다
가족과의 관계를 중요시하며, 자신의 정체성을 자랑스럽게 여기고, 앞으로의 성공을 믿고 나아간다
아시아인으로서의 차별을 극복하며 자신이 역사에 남을 것이라는 자신감을 표현한다

This one's for you and me
Living out our dreams
We're all right where we should be
With my arms out wide, I open my eyes
And now all I wanna see
Is a sky full of lighters
A sky full of lighters
By the time you'll hear this I probably already flew away
Told me I wouldn't fly, but who the hell are you to say
That I can't grow a pair of wings and do it?
I throw my wings and spread 'em to the sky
And try to leave this chicken coupe one day
You can leave and try to hate from a glance
Just know that in my life 'til now nobody gave me a chance
Misunderstood, more than anything, in fact, all my fun fell
Feeling like I'm lifting backpacks full of dumbbells
Stop thinkin' I'll be off and away
Saying my head's in the clouds, but my body's in space
And even if you take these glasses off of my face
I'm still focused on my goal to keep the dominant place
Brain filled with clear statements, like, "You better achieve it."
I'm not givin' up the only thing I ever believed in
If I'm cocky, I'm hidin' the fact that I'm just too prideful
Actually, I take it back, I'll be cocky when I decide to
If Mama's bendin' backwards to keep the family active
I'ma blast with rap tactics so drastic so she’ll relax
In a million-dollar house that I'll buy her when I go platinum
Don't believe me now? Then believe my future tax bracket!
Bad at this, but I'm zoomin' up, too cool for ya
But I'll prove you hussy sissies I'm a balloon blown up
I don't care about you—if I'm rude, so what?
It feels so good to be more at it with pace
Feeling great, 'cause they always catch an orgasm off hate
If there's a time and place for fame, then I don't plan to be late
Insult my dream? I'll tear your nose out of your face
And honestly, I'm really getting so proud of my race
Put an Asian hand in the air, we're no longer out of place
And if they say you can't do it because of your ethnicity
Then please turn examples or a reference into me
I'm so convinced that my ass will be next in history
Ahmir, hit this beat! Yo…
