Next Level

패기 넘치게 학교 관두고
한 달 만에 폐인 됐지
하는 거 없이 종일 온라인 게임해
존심은 부려놨고 뭐라도 해야겠네
이 꼴이면 음악한단 말은
놈팡이 짓의 핑계일 뿐

래퍼 하려면 노래방 애들하고
몇 차원 달라야지
대회 열린다니 나가볼까
열일곱에 첫 도전 나 같이 다 때려치우고
하는 애 없으니 가서 다 이겨야지
하러 갔더니 심사위원 onesun
전년도 우승 jjk와 대구 래퍼들의 축하 공연
난 master plan 말곤 한국 언더그라운드에
딴 래퍼들 있는 줄 몰랐는데

보고 나니까 나 같이 다 접고
랩 하는 애가 또 있나 싶더라
쉽게 봤는데 아닌가 조금 긴장하고
오다가다 멈춰서 구경하는
사람들 앞에서 랩 하고 나서
결과는 우승 예

끝나니 누가 불러
아까 공연하던 virus에 minos
언제 형네 집에 놀러 오라고 갔지
클럽 heavy에서 힙합 공연하니까
한 곡 와서 해봐 씨발 그날 밤 난 난리 났지

On to the next level, uh
Just on to the next level, right
한 계단씩 차례대로
이왕 하는 거 제대로
Now just on to the next level

생애 첫 공연 입장료 3천 원
분명 난 눈 뜨고 하는데 눈 앞이 안 보여
그때 느꼈지 난 아직 그냥 아마추어
그 뒤론 형들 따라다녀 클럽도 가고
자퇴생 5개월째 이제는 서울 대회
동대문 첨 가봤지 옷 잘 입은 애들 꽤 있네
심사위원 MC meta 나 또 우승
경상도다 이 태도 당연하단 웃음

3등이 fana 2등이 누구였더라 하여튼
축하공연은 저번 대회 우승자 the quiett
그쯤부터 서울 경산 왔다 갔다 하며
사람들 많이 봤지
지금은 회사도 갖고 있지만
당시엔 이 게임의 중심에 못 가본
팔로알토 deepflow 부산에선 simon d
21살 rhyme a은 밀림의 왕자였지
난 고삐리 랩 1등이 항상 내 자랑이었지
모여서 공연하면 관객은 대충 60명
뒤풀이서 하는 말 신을 뒤집자 우리도
푸른 굴 양식장에서 MP에서 클럽 geeks로
두 번 바뀌고 나서 그 무대 처음 섰지

On to the next level, yeah
Just on to the next level
한 계단씩 차례대로
이왕 하는 거 제대로
Now just on to the next level

가라사대 계약 후 와해
그러고 타일 뮤직 계약 후
부푼 맘으로 상경 남의 집에 붙어살며
꿈에 가까워진다 싶었지
근데 몇 주 만에 계약금 50 쓰고
쪼들리기 시작하네

회사 빠그라지고 fuck it, I don′t need the deal son
All black으로 TV 나가기 싫단 dok2 하곤
입장 조금 다르지
난 방세 밀려 노가다
노 저을 준비는 됐는데
물이 안 들어오잖아
한 달에 열흘 용역 보름 작업 5일 술판
똥 존심에 현실은 개털인 내 음악
영등포 옥탑에 래퍼 넷 같이 사네

닭 한 마리 시키면서 뿜빠이 처량해
안 되겠네 simon d와 팀 짜고
알바하러 부산에
비보이 뮤지컬 한 달 공연에 월급 삼백
근데 그게 터진 거지 홍대의 매 주말엔
우리 이름 첫 단독 공연 관객 1,200 wow

Next Level

Emptied the school with my overflowing spirits
Only to become a good-for-nothing in a month
Playing online games the whole day without doing anything
Exhausted my pride and I had to do something
If you’re as depressed as I am
You would use making music as an excuse

To be a rapper, you have to be different from those in the noraebang by
A few dimensions
A competition was open, should I join?
My first challenge at seventeen, I beat everyone
Since no one is as good as me, I have to win
The judge was Onesun, when I went to see
Prevous year’s winner JJK’s and Daegu rappers’ congratulatory performance
I had only learned about Master Plan
I didn’t know there were other rappers

After seeing them, I thought everyone should quit like me
And I thought I was the only one who raps
I took it for granted but I’m a little nervous
I stopped by and watched
Rapped in front of the crowd
And the result is first place, yes

Someone called me out when it was over
Virus and Minos, who performed earlier
Invited me to their house, and I went
Hip-hop performances in the club Heavy
Come perform a song, and that was the night I became a sensation

On to the next level, uh
Just on to the next level, right
Climbing up the ladder step by step
If you’re going to do it, do it right
Now just on to the next level

My first performance, I got paid 3,000 won
I’m sure I’m doing it with my eyes open but I can’t see
I realized that I’m just an amateur
After that, I followed my seniors and went to clubs
A dropout for 5 months, and now it’s time for Seoul competition
First time in Dongdaemun, and there are a lot of people who dress well
MC Meta was the judge, and I won again
Gyeongsangdo attitude. It’s only natural, they laughed.

Third place was Fana, second place was? Anyway
Congratulatory performance by The Quiett, the winner of last competition
Since then, I went back and forth between Seoul and Gyeongsan
And met a lot of people
I have my own company now
But back then I couldn’t get to the core of this game
Simon D in Busan, when Paloalto, Deepflow
Rhyme A was the king of the jungle at 21
My Arirang rap was always my pride and joy
Around 60 people in the audience when we perform together
Let’s reverse the word, we will be there too, in the encore
From the green oyster farm to MP, and finally to the club Geeks
Changed the name twice, and I was on that stage

On to the next level, yeah
Just on to the next level
Climbing the ladder step by step
If you’re going to do it, do it right
Now just on to the next level

Collapsed after the contract with Garasadae
Contract with Tile Music
With a bloated heart, I moved to Seoul, lived in someone else’s house
And thought I was getting closer to my dream
But a few weeks later, I spent the down payment of 50,000
And I began the descent

The company went bankrupt and fuck it, I don’t need the deal, son
I don’t want to go on TV in all black,” Dok2 said
Our positions are a little different, you see
My rent is overdue and I have a lot to do
I’m ready to do it
But the water won’t come in
Ten days of odd jobs, half a month at construction sites, and five days of drinking
My music is hair on my ass with my bullheaded pride
Four rappers live together in an apartment in Yeongdeungpo

We order chicken and complain about our pitiful lives
It’s not going well. I teamed up with Simon D
And went to Busan to find a job
Part-time job at B-boy musical, worked for a month and got paid 300,000
But that blew up, too. We had our first solo concert every weekend in Hongdae
Audience of 1,200, wow.
