北京城市

六年前我来到这个城市叫北京
一开始每天在一个小酒店里睡醒
马上找了地方 东三环旁车来人往
虽然赚了点钱但还是有点紧张
早听说这里是多少人的梦啊
却也听好多人诉说北漂的苦和痛啊
有个前辈说现在你正红啊
出名的时候赚钱的事情就赶紧弄啊
工体走了几圈 国贸逛了几遍
真正北京的文化没怎么体验
这个pub那个club
出去玩有女生对我挤眼
经常喝到第二天下午才刷牙洗脸
餐会酒会各种发布会
没去过一个正经的学术研讨会
有前辈说这里大把机会
有些东西要学会意会
认几个牛叉的大哥如此以备不时之需
唱歌跳舞之余
多出来见见世面参加各种局
好多导演 进来顶着一张老脸
一坐下来就说哪个明星给他买过早点
遇到过形形色色的投资人
名片太多太多分不清真愁死人
张口闭口就是女一号定了范冰冰
真的吓坏了没见过世面的小醒醒
很多个达官贵人们的儿子侄子孙子
让我出身的地方听起来像个村子
所有人都围坐在他身旁敬酒
仿佛他就是德高望重的领袖
我开始好好学习 重要的聚会从不缺席
安分的做个小艺人从不越级
每天醒来我都幻想拥有命运青睐
在这伟大的城市里走出精彩的未来
北京 (I love the city)
City of my dream (I hate the city)
太多美梦追寻
北京 What a city
北京 (I love the city)
City of my pain (I hate the city)
太多美梦远去
北京 What a city
匆匆数年一晃而过 表弟长大来看我
我带他看看这里的生活

一个聚会上他问这些人几分本事
我说只要他们喝多了你便知
左边的大哥喝的有点high
东倒西歪 唱歌抢别人的麦
转身开始聊他在南方
哪个城市哪次有多厉害
那晚花了多少个万他最后记不起来
右边的四眼仔看起来斯斯文文
说每天在办公楼里进出好几个门
说是组织里的人
说帮我搞定湖南卫视
晚会给我压轴位置
帮我轻轻松松弄个账户在瑞士
一时间反应不过来我不知道怎么回答
旁边的女生小猫一样的扑他
(哥哥 留个微信好吗)
好吧 我知道你等不及去找他
但说实话
这个局的美女多的让我看不过来
虽然坐在一个不偏的位子但我明白
这里如果不是出点小名谁鸟你
如果没有几个银子谁会正眼瞧你
单纯的表弟两眼放光
我说你看其实她们长差不多都一样
开个眼角垫个鼻子削个下巴
浓妆艳抹每晚就等人开个价码
一看微博认证全都是有名的model
提着名牌装着上流其实房租都要borrow
无人知晓的过去自己藏着sorrow
一心向往的富家公子就是tomorrow
有供有求 来这里的老板们都富得流油
喜欢和年轻漂亮的妹妹们彻夜交流
有的喜欢低调深藏不露
一问才知道
原来他买了我家上面那两层楼

北京 (I love the city)
City of my dream (I hate the city)
太多美梦追寻
北京 What a city
北京 (I love the city)
City of my pain (I hate the city)
太多美梦远去
北京 What a city
这些年虽然看过千姿百态
但简简单单为理想奋斗的大有人在
不为利害关系而左右摇摆
只靠自己的双手努力不离开从不依赖
我认识一个song writer 他叫tiger

在我心中he's a real fighter
勤奋的做着音乐
从不放弃不管生活多惨
在北京六年了他都还没破产

You see, I love him
Even though I'm joking I really wanna hug him
就算常常不如意 就算赌气
但共同来到这里我他妈的就要给你鼓励
这是我生活的北京
有太多诱惑 有太多前途未定
太多人不甘心隐姓埋名
前赴后继随时待命
谁又能一呼百应
北京
City of my dream
太多美梦追寻
北京 What a city
北京
City of my pain
太多美梦远去
北京 What a city
北京 (I love the city)

City of my dream (I hate the city)

太多美梦追寻
北京 What a city
北京 (I love the city)

City of my pain (I hate the city)
太多美梦远去
北京 What a city (I love the city)

Beijing City

Six years ago, I came to this city called Beijing
Initially, I woke up every day in a small hotel
Quickly found a place, near the East Third Ring Road, bustling with traffic
Though I earned some money, I was still a bit nervous
I'd long heard this is the dream of many
But also heard many lament the hardships and pains of being a Beipiao
A senior figure said, you're popular now
While you're famous, make that money quickly
Walked around Gongti a few times, strolled through Guomao several times
Haven't really experienced authentic Beijing culture
This pub, that club
Girls winked at me when I went out
Often drank until the next afternoon before brushing my teeth and washing my face
Dinner parties, cocktail parties, all sorts of launch events
Never attended a proper academic seminar
A senior figure said there are plenty of opportunities here
Some things you need to learn to understand implicitly
Make friends with a few awesome big brothers, just in case
Besides singing and dancing
Get out more, see the world, attend various gatherings
Many directors, come in with an old face
As soon as they sit down, they talk about which celebrity bought them breakfast
Met all kinds of investors
Too many business cards, can't tell them apart, it's a real headache
They keep saying the female lead is set for Fan Bingbing
Really scared the hell out of little Xingxing who's never seen the world
Many sons, nephews, and grandsons of dignitaries
Make the place I come from sound like a village
Everyone gathers around him, toasting
As if he were a highly respected leader
I started to study hard, never miss important gatherings
Be a well-behaved little artist, never overstep
Every day I wake up, I dream of having fate's favor
Walking out a brilliant future in this great city
Beijing (I love the city)
City of my dream (I hate the city)
So many dreams to chase
Beijing What a city
Beijing (I love the city)
City of my pain (I hate the city)
So many dreams fade away
Beijing What a city
Several years passed in a flash, my cousin grew up and came to see me
I showed him life here

At a gathering, he asked how capable these people are
I said, just wait till they get drunk, you'll know
The big brother on the left is a bit high
Staggering around, singing, grabbing other people's mics
Turns around and starts talking about his time in the South
Which city, which time, how impressive he was
He can't remember how many tens of thousands he spent that night
The four-eyed guy on the right looks gentle and refined
Says he goes in and out of several doors in the office building every day
Says he's part of the organization
Says he'll help me secure Hunan TV
Give me the finale spot at the gala
Help me easily set up an account in Switzerland
For a moment, I couldn't react, I didn't know how to respond
The girl next to him pounced on him like a kitten
(Brother, can I have your WeChat?)
Alright, I know you can't wait to go find him
But honestly
There are so many beautiful women at this gathering that I can't keep up
Though I'm sitting in a decent spot, I understand
If you're not somewhat famous here, who cares about you
If you don't have some money, who will look at you directly
My innocent cousin's eyes lit up
I said, look, they all look pretty much the same
Eyelid surgery, nose job, chin augmentation
Heavy makeup, every night just waiting for someone to set a price
Check their Weibo verification, they're all famous models
Carrying luxury brands, pretending to be high-class, but their rent is borrowed
Their unknown pasts hide their sorrow
The wealthy young masters they yearn for are just tomorrow
Supply and demand, the bosses here are rolling in money
They like to spend all night chatting with young and beautiful girls
Some like to keep a low profile
But upon asking, I found out
He actually bought the two floors above my place

Beijing (I love the city)
City of my dream (I hate the city)
So many dreams to chase
Beijing What a city
Beijing (I love the city)
City of my pain (I hate the city)
So many dreams fade away
Beijing What a city
Though I've seen all walks of life these years
There are plenty who simply strive for their dreams
Not swayed by interests
They rely on their own hands, work hard, never leave, never depend
I know a songwriter, his name is Tiger

In my heart, he's a real fighter
He diligently makes music
Never gives up, no matter how tough life gets
He's been in Beijing for six years and he hasn't gone bankrupt yet

You see, I love him
Even though I'm joking, I really wanna hug him
Even if things often don't go well, even if we're frustrated
Since we came here together, I fucking want to give you encouragement
This is the Beijing I live in
There are too many temptations, too many uncertain futures
Too many people unwilling to remain anonymous
One after another, always on standby
Who can truly command the masses
Beijing
City of my dream
So many dreams to chase
Beijing What a city
Beijing
City of my pain
So many dreams fade away
Beijing What a city
Beijing (I love the city)

City of my dream (I hate the city)

So many dreams to chase
Beijing What a city
Beijing (I love the city)

City of my pain (I hate the city)
So many dreams fade away
Beijing What a city (I love the city)
