現在，你們有些人，也許還困在那個地方
如果你想從那裡離開
過來，牽著我著手
跟著我，我會帶你走出來
其實一直都很想翻 Eminem 的 Not Afraid
(還有 Lose Yourself, 因為Mom’s Spaghettis xD)
但每每翻開看到落落長的歌詞，都索性作罷
現在看起來明明就沒有很多，不知道當時在怕什麼(´_ゝ`)
高中時，第一次在電視上看到 Not Afraid 的MV
看到阿姆從懸崖上躍身一跳那霎那，真的有被震驚到
有一種，哇…難道這就是置之死地而後生? (ﾟДﾟ;)

文末小記
之前有幾個愛唱饒舌的朋友，他們特愛唱阿姆的歌
搭車時還會邊放音樂、邊拿手機看著歌詞唱那種
我一直都覺得會饒舌的人很酷
尤其是能同時把口氣/力道/速度都饒出來的人，特別酷👍
我的話，別說饒了，大概就只稱得上誦經吧 XDDD
❤️ 要不要也聽聽?
