Verse 1)
I’ve walked after a reliable shadow
I wanted to take over their baton and write history
The kid that imitated The Q-hyung’s rap
luckily got accepted into his dream: Soul Company
At first, a black sheep that rebelled quite boldly
The songs I wrote got turned down several times
but I can’t give up the microphone I’ve seized
I’m a hot-blooded type.((Pun; in Korean, blood means ‘p’ → reference/shout-out to P-Type)) I go only one way, Don Quixote
It’s sweet to be insulted
What’s really bitter aren’t insults but indifference
To the concerts I gave every month came about 4 fans
They’ve probably forgotten about me but I can’t forget them, uh
There’s nothing much I’ve accomplished in my life
but nobody can live my life in my stead
You know, I don’t have time anymore
because I’m busy making music for everyone, boy
Verse 2)
I hope that someone will walk
after my shadow, like I did
No matter what kind of mistakes I’ll commit in the future,
I will definitely make better music
Even when I’m talking a bit ahead of myself at times,
that is not my delusion, this is a shadow for you
I want to be the shade for many people((The Korean word ‘그늘’ he uses here and in the following line can also mean ‘shadow’ or ‘protection/care’.))
Since I also grew up in their shade
I never envied great musicians
I rather raised my dream and gained courage
“I can do it,” I etched this childish sentence into my mind
How much are you actually believing in yourself?
Losers have a lot to say, winners are quiet
That is the reality I’ve seen. I’ve dreamed of being the king
It’s easy, pretend your life is a play
What is your role, you who’s plunking on a keyboard?
Outro)
Although I don’t know
as what kind of a person I’ll be remembered
after time has passed,
I just grab my pen
I will sing about all truths
Follow me,
trust me,
[trust] in my shadow
