Paroles et traduction Laze feat. Jonathan Mono - Kemenangan Sejati

Kemenangan Sejati

Yeah, ah
Ingat lagu pertama mengudara
Kamar tidurku tempatku rekam suara
Tanpa label, tanpa cap, tanpa stiker

Jauh s'belum toko kaset gulung tikar
Aku pikir ini seni, ternyata ini bisnis
Jadi penulis hantu, kosa kataku mistis
Miris, m'reka tiru gaya aku (ah)

Tapi tak bisa tiru upayaku (upayaku)
Tolak kontrak rekaman, kesempatan menggelinding
Buatmu aku sinting, buatku itu insting
Luncurkan album perdana dengan perayaan intim

B'rapa artis tak bisa rilis? Kontrak membentur dinding
Banyak musisi bagus, musik tak jadi soal
S'lain buat lagu, pandai-pandai buat proposal (haha)
Jangan mau tampil gratis
Bila uang sponsor dimakan promotor sampai habis, ha

Kupilih jalur tanpa jalan pintas
Datang pergi, entah siapa yang pantas
Tuk bertahan selamanya
Untuk nikmati (yeah, ah)
Kemenangan yang sejati

Bila di bawah agensi, bahkan tak main di pensi
Bingkai kontraknya, lelang, hancurkan macam Banksy (hahaha)
Walau satu payung dengan nama bergengsi
Jangan salah tempat, coba lihat fengsui

Kupikir ini seni, ternyata ini bisnis
Andai tahu ini sejak awal merintis
Cari badut macam Ronald, ubah jadi nominal
Suara sumbang macam donasi, asal bisa viral

Ah, tapi angka pun menipu (wo)
B'rapa dari kalian masih keliru? (Yeah)
Akun palsu, jumlah ratusan ribu
Aku lebih suka cek daripada centang biru

Ingat festival pertama di Bandung?
Tak ada pendukung dan langit pun mendung
Kini t'rasa lebih baik di sini
Dan aku baru p'lajari bisnis itu seni

Ketenaran ternyata
Bukan jawaban, bukan alasan terdepan
'Tuk bertahan selamanya
Untuk nikmati
Kemenangan yang sejati

Kupilih jalur tanpa jalan pintas
Datang pergi, entah siapa yang pantas
Tuk bertahan selamanya
Untuk nikmati
Kemenangan yang sejati

True Victory

Yeah, ah
Remember the first song that aired
My bedroom where I recorded my voice
No label, no stamp, no sticker

Long before the cassette shops closed down
I thought it was art, but it turned out to be business
So I became a ghostwriter, my vocabulary is mystical
It's a shame, they imitate my style (ah)

But they can't imitate my efforts (my efforts)
I turned down record deals, opportunities came rolling
To you I'm crazy, to me it's instinct
Launch my debut album with an intimate celebration

How many artists can't release? Contracts hit walls
There are many great musicians, music isn't the issue
Besides making songs, be good at making proposals (haha)
Don't agree to perform for free
When the sponsor's money is eaten up by the promoter, ha

I chose a path without shortcuts
Coming and going, I don't know who's worthy
To survive forever
To enjoy (yeah, ah)
A true victory

If you're under an agency, you won't even play at school events
Frame its contract, auction it, destroy it like Banksy (hahaha)
Even if you're under the same roof with a prestigious name
Don't be wrong, try to see the feng shui

I thought this was art, but it turned out to be business
I wish I had known this from the start
Look for a clown like Ronald, turn it into money
A voice as off-key as a donation, as long as you can go viral

Ah, but numbers deceive (wo)
How many of you are still wrong? (Yeah)
Fake accounts, hundreds of thousands
I prefer a check to a blue tick

Remember the first festival in Bandung?
There were no supporters and the sky was cloudy
Now it feels better here
And I just learned that business is art

Fame, as it turns out
It's not the answer, it's not the reason
To survive forever
To enjoy
A true victory

I chose a path without shortcuts
Coming and going, I don't know who's worthy
To survive forever
To enjoy
A true victory
