Lyrics[]
| Chinese | Pinyin | English |
| 为了不输在起跑线，必须将起跑线提前 | wèile bùshū zài qǐpǎoxiàn, bìxū jiāng qǐpǎoxiàn tíqián | To avoid falling behind at the starting line, we must push the starting line back further |
| 尝到了抢跑酿的甜，就把荒谬奉为圭臬！ | chángdào le qiǎngpǎo niàng de tián, jiù bǎ huāngmiù fèngwéiguīniè! | Tasting the sweetness of a false start, we elevate the absurd to the highest principle |
| 如此蹉跎了十六年，递出简历任人挑拣 | rúcǐ cuōtuó le shíliùnián, dìchū jiǎnlì rèn rén tiāojiǎn | Thus, we've squandered 16 years, sending out resumes to be picked apart |
| 直到碰壁后才发现，卷不过的 是别人的起点！ | zhídào pèngbì hòu cái fāxiàn, juàn bùguò de shì biérén de qǐdiǎn! | Only after hitting a wall do we realize, what we can't surpass is someone else's starting point |
| 还有参差不齐的终点！ | háiyǒu cēncībùqí de zhōngdiǎn! | Along with uneven, mediocre endings |
| 关山难越，更多的关山难越！ | guānshān nán yuè, gèng duō de guānshān nán yuè! | Barriers are hard to overcome, and more barriers keep coming |
| 拼命向前，向前，连自身存在都抛却！ | pīnmìng xiàngqián, xiàngqián, lián zìshēn cúnzài dōu pāoquè! | We struggle to push forward, forward, even abandoning our very existence |
| 庙堂太深，太远，渺小的呼声不被听见！ | miàotáng tài shēn, tài yuǎn, miǎoxiǎo de hūshēng bù bèi tīngjiàn! | The halls of power are too deep and distant, our faint cries are unheard. |
| 在这 被瓜分完的世界—— | zài zhè bèi guāfēn wán de shìjiè— | In this world, completely carved up— |
| 卷！ | juàn! | "Strive!" |
| 小时候被教导要听话，什么爱好通通抹杀 | xiǎoshíhòu bèi jiàodǎo yào tīnghuà, shénme àihào tōngtōng mǒshā | We were taught to be obedient as children, any kind of love was stifled |
| 长大了又被工作碾压，劳动也开始异化 | zhǎngdà le yòu bèi gōngzuò niǎnyā, láodòng yě kāishǐ yìhuà | Then, we are crushed by the weight of work as we grow, labor becomes alienating |
| 所有的人都害怕被同龄人抛下，于是所有的人都拼命往上爬 | suǒyǒu de rén dōu hàipà bèi tónglíngrén pāoxià, yúshì suǒyǒu de rén dōu pīnmìng wǎngshàng pá | Everyone fears being left behind by their peers, so everyone struggles to climb higher |
| 至于那些没有天赋没有背景的人生从一开始，就注定被放弃吗？ | zhìyú nàxiē méiyǒu tiānfù méiyǒu bèijǐng de rénshēng cóng yī kāishǐ, jiù zhùdìng bèi fàngqì ma? | As for lives without talent or background, are they doomed to be discarded from the start? |
| 谁能给我一个回答？ | shéi néng gěi wǒ yígè huídá? | Who can give me an answer? |
| 难道我们只是被筛选？ | nándào wǒmen zhǐshì bèi shāixuǎn? | Could it be that we are just being filtered? |
| 难道我们注定无法改变？！ | nándào wǒmen zhùdìng wúfǎ gǎibiàn?! | Are we doomed to be unable to change? |
| 关山难越，我们的关山难越！ | guānshān nán yuè, wǒmen de guānshān nán yuè! | Barriers are hard to overcome, and our barriers are just as hard |
| 拼命向前，向前，黑夜中他声嘶力竭！ | pīnmìng xiàngqián, xiàngqián, hēiyè zhōng tā shēngsīlìjié! | We struggle to push forward, forward, screaming hoarsely in the dark |
| 庙堂太深，太远，而我们匍匐在地面！ | miàotáng tài shēn, tài yuǎn, ér wǒmen púfú zài dìmiàn! | The halls of power are too deep and distant, while we crawl on the ground |
| 被迫 咽下了一切！ | bèipò yànxià le yīqiè! | Forced to swallow everything |
| 这一夜夜 的汗水 就这样被 轻易浪费 | zhè yīyèyè de hànshuǐ jiù zhèyàng bèi qīngyì làngfèi | Our sweat, night after night, is so easily wasted |
| 连同我们对未来的幻想与父母的期望 | liántóng wǒmen duì wèilái de huànxiǎng yǔ fùmǔ de qīwàng | Along with our dreams for the future and our parents' expectations |
| 全被时代碾碎 | quán bèi shídài niǎnsuì | All crushed by this era |
| 关山难越，更多的关山难越 | guānshān nán yuè, gèng duō de guānshān nán yuè | Barriers are hard to overcome, and more barriers keep coming |
| 拼命向前 连自身存在都抛却 | pīnmìng xiàngqián lián zìshēn cúnzài dōu pāoquè | We struggle to push forward, forward, even abandoning our very existence |
| 庙堂太深，太远，渺小的呼声不被听见！ | miàotáng tài shēn, tài yuǎn, miǎoxiǎo de hūshēng bù bèi tīngjiàn! | The halls of power are too deep and distant, our faint cries are unheard |
| 在这 被瓜分完的世界 | zài zhè bèi guāfēn wán de shìjiè | In this world, completely carved up... |
| 在这 片穷途末路的旷野—— | zài zhèpiàn qióngtúmòlù de kuàngyě— | In this desolate wilderness with no way forward— |
| 卷！ | juàn! | “Strive!” |
