【Max’s Homemade Cupcake】
The world said, “Kid, you’re out of luck,”
世界第一句話就說:孩子,你沒戲。
No silver spoon, just broken cups.
沒有金湯匙,只有摔碎的杯子。
We wash the plates of better lives,
我們洗的是別人更好的人生,
Serve dreams with fries, reheated lies.
把夢想配薯條,謊言重新加熱再端上。
I learned the truth behind the sheen:
我早就看穿那層亮光背後的真相:
Hope tastes fake when rent’s obscene.
當房租失控,希望嚐起來就是假貨。
So I don’t pray, I preheat fate,
所以我不祈禱,我只預熱命運,
Set the clock, I don’t negotiate.
時間一到就開烤,不跟人生討價還價。
They say, “Smile, girl, it’ll be okay,”
他們說:笑一個吧,一切都會好,
That’s rich advice from those who pay.
這種建議,通常來自不用付帳的人。
I stir my rage with flour cheap,
我把怒氣拌進廉價的麵粉裡,
If it don’t rise, at least I eat.
就算沒發起來,至少我還能吃。
This is Max’s homemade cupcake,
這就是麥克斯的自製小蛋糕,
No fairytales I had to fake.
沒有童話,因為我懶得假裝。
Not too sweet, no sugar high,
不甜、不上癮,
Just bite-sized proof I didn’t die.
只是小小一口,證明我還活著。
The world took more than I could take,
世界拿走的,早就超過我能承受,
Still here—Max’s homemade cupcake.
但我還在,和這顆小蛋糕一起。
I serve their brunch, I wipe their sins,
我端他們的早午餐,也擦掉他們的罪,
They tip me thoughts and empty wins.
他們給小費,也給空洞的祝福。
They say, “You’ll make it, you just wait,”
他們說:你會成功的,再等等吧,
I nod, then charge them full-rate fate.
我點頭,然後照價向命運收費。
Dreams are nice but break too fast,
夢想很好,只是碎得太快,
Hope expires like milk from last.
希望像過期牛奶,昨天就壞了。
So I bake small, I bake it tough,
所以我做得小,也做得硬,
Survival’s skill, not blind luck.
活下來靠的是技術,不是運氣。
They call us cute, they call us poor,
他們說我們可愛,也說我們窮,
Cute don’t pay the kitchen floor.
但可愛付不了地板清潔費。
I laugh once—dark, efficient, fast,
我只笑一次,黑、快、有效率,
Comedy’s cheaper than a past.
因為幽默,比過去便宜。
This is Max’s homemade cupcake,
這就是麥克斯的自製小蛋糕,
Burnt-edge truth with no mistake.
邊緣焦黑,裡面全是真相。
No gold foil, no alibi,
沒有金箔,也沒有藉口,
Just heat and time and alibis.
只有溫度、時間,和活著的理由。
If this is all the world can make,
如果世界只能給我這些,
I’ll sell it proud—homemade cupcake.
那我就昂著頭,把它賣掉。
Success is quiet, pays in cash,
成功很安靜,只用現金說話,
Not cheers from people passing fast.
不是路過的人給的掌聲。
It’s saying no without a lie,
是拒絕時不用說謊,
It’s failing once—and not asking why.
是跌倒後不再追問為什麼。
No angels clock the overtime,
沒有天使替你算加班,
So I do it myself, line by line.
所以一行一行,我自己來。
If crumbs are all I get to take,
如果我只能拿到碎屑,
Watch what I build from crumbs I take.
那就看我用碎屑蓋出什麼。
This is Max’s homemade cupcake,
這就是麥克斯的自製小蛋糕,
From leftovers life tried to waste.
用人生不要的邊角料做成。
Small enough to slip the gate,
它夠小,能溜過命運的門縫,
Hard as hell to underestimate.
也夠硬,不會被低估。
You can keep your dream-branded cake—
你們留著包裝精美的夢想吧,
I survived on homemade cupcake.
我是靠這顆小蛋糕活下來的。
Not a miracle.
不是奇蹟,
Just heat.
只是溫度,
Just time.
只是時間,
Just me still standing in this line.
只是我,還站在這條隊伍裡。
