언어장벽

Say what?

무슨 말인지 도통 모르겠네, 나
지금 내게 이야기 하려는 게 행여나
초심에 관한 것? Oh, I get it now
솔직히 말해줄까? 놀라겠지만
내 초심대로라면 fuck the world
Fuck what everybody say about me
이렇게 갔을테니. 조금이나마 둥글게 살아가는 법
배워가고 있는 내게 다시
두 번 다신 초심 이야기 하지 마
지루할 뿐 아니라 멍청해 보이니까
멍청함, 아둔함, 이런 단어들이
부담스럽겠지, 누군간. "좋아보여" 이후만
기억할테니까. 물론 그들에게는
자연스러운 일. 탓하지 않아, never, nah
내가 경멸하는 인간들은
5, 6년 전에 낸 음반도 전부 듣지 않고
그때가 좋았네, 그립네
자신이 황금기를 제대로 만끽한 애호가라도
되는 듯이 무늬만 힙합 팬인 애들
생각해보면 딱해, 걔네들
그때도 내 반의 반도 잘 모른 상태로
거지 같은 평론, 갑론을박
때론 유치한 power game
옛날에야 놀아주었지. 하지만 not again
소꿉장난, 지능문제
아니면 내게서 떨어지는 부스러기를 주워
지들의 먹이로 삼아야만 하는 밥줄문제
눈물이 고이네, 나의 두 눈에
어디 갔어, 내 리듬, 어?
하여간 내가 지금 더
깊은 곳까지 내려가
진실을 말하진 않겠어. 내 최소한의 배려야
Is it hip hop or is it not?
이거 역시 내겐 진짜 별 의미가
없는 질문. 15년 전부터 이미 난
Guitar kid, 미래의 작곡가 kid
또 나만의 라임 쓰는 방식을 찾고 있던
Hip hop kid. 바꿔 말해 태생부터 잡식
I do rock shit when I feel like it
Straight hip hop when I feel like it
사랑 얘기 when I feel like it
가난 얘기 when I feel like it
하고 싶을 때 하고 싶은 얘기를 해
하고 싶은 음악 스타일로. 너의 기분에
안 맞다면 그 나름대로 존중해, 당연히
하지만 변절했니 어쩌니 저쩌니
떠드는 애들에겐 fuck your opinions
가만히 보면 여태껏 2007년
그 근처 어딘가에 갇혀 사는 듯
바삐 살다가 그런 애들 보면 문득
타임캡슐을 연 것 같이
아련해져. 추억에 잠겨, 다시
다 같이 한글을 쓰지만
우리 사이엔 보이지 않는 벽이 있나봐
완전한 이야기를 나누긴
불가능한가봐. Ok, 지나가
다 같은 한글을 쓰지만 우리
사이엔 보이지 않는 벽이 있나봐
완전한 이야기를 나누긴
불가능한가봐. 이렇게 마무리

Language Barrier

Say what?

I can't understand what you're saying, baby
Is it about my initial resolution, by any chance?
Oh, I get it now
Should I be honest? It might surprise you
But if I followed my initial resolution, it'd be "fuck the world"
"Fuck what everybody say about me"
That's the path I would've taken. I'm learning, little by little,
How to live a more rounded life, so please
Don't ever bring up my initial resolution again
It's not only boring, but it makes me look stupid
Stupid, dull, these words might be
Burdensome to some. They only remember me
Since "You Look Good". Of course, to them,
It's natural. I don't blame them, never, nah
The people I despise
Haven't even listened to all the albums I released 5, 6 years ago
They say those were the good times, they miss them
Acting like they're some connoisseurs who fully enjoyed the golden age
Those fake hip-hop fans
It's pitiful when you think about it, those guys
Back then, they didn't even know half of what I was about
Their shitty reviews, arguments
Sometimes childish power games
I used to play along back then. But not again
Playing house, intelligence issues
Or maybe it's a livelihood issue, where they have to pick up the crumbs I drop
And make it their food
Tears well up in my eyes
Where did my rhythm go, huh?
Anyway, I won't
Go deeper and
Tell the truth. It's the least I can do
Is it hip hop or is it not?
This also, to me, is a question with
No real meaning. Since 15 years ago, I was already a
Guitar kid, a future composer kid
And a hip hop kid who was finding his own way to rhyme
In other words, I was born omnivorous
I do rock shit when I feel like it
Straight hip hop when I feel like it
Love stories when I feel like it
Poverty stories when I feel like it
I say what I want to say when I want to say it
In the style of music I want. If it doesn't suit your taste,
I respect that, of course
But to those who blabber about me selling out or whatever
Fuck your opinions
It seems like they've been stuck somewhere around
2007 all this time
When I'm busy living my life and see those people, suddenly
It feels like opening a time capsule
It makes me nostalgic. Lost in memories, again
We all use the same Korean language, but
There seems to be an invisible wall between us
It seems impossible to have
A complete conversation. Ok, let it go
We all use the same Korean language, but
There seems to be an invisible wall between us
It seems impossible to have
A complete conversation. Let's end it here
