Verse 1)
My place is the sewer, while smelling the stench
I sit in front of a very small monitor, doing nothing but
moving the mouse to make sure that the screen does not turn off
While in the battle of society, someone is searching for a mouthpiece((Pun on “mouse” (see previous line) and “mouthpiece” which are both written “마우스” (mauseu) in Korean))

No enemies are left for a fighter who has lost his fighting spirit
Not in the bus or even the subway has there ever been a free seat((Pun on “적이 없어“ which can both mean “no enemies” (see previous line) and “not ever”))
Neither in the womb of my mom that has contained me
So now all of it has cooled down, even the passion that has given me hostility and hope

Have I survived pathetically?
A few years ago I said: “Let’s leave before turning thirty!”
Do you still need to be pampered? As a daughter or son,
just take the words of love to your heart

I try wearing a snapback with its prize tag
I wonder if that is my value and get startled
Everyone who lives for the sake of living
A film where minor roles live as the lead roles, this place

Hook)
God, the god of small things
God, the god of small things
God, the god of small things
God, the god of

Verse 2)
Last year, Don Mills and I worked part-time at an Internet café
Self-disrespect? But Zino called and Don Mills made it((Reference to Beenzino – Mitch as F*ck (미쳤어) (Feat. Don Mills) ))
“That’s right, the situation will get better,” says the mirror to me
“Believe in the things you have seen in order to reach tomorrow”

Waking up alone in the morning, dinner with the team
“What’s up? How you doing man? How are things lately?”
Animato-hyung,((Animato composed this track)) who I haven’t seen in a while, is talking about marriage
and says that his older sister has had her second child

So I am still rapping
That guy is still rapping?
No matter if of its own will or due to another factor, when the world turns
all we can do is to take that train as well and go along

Within, my job is to sell lyrics
And someone’s at an office, someone outside or at school
No matter where you are or what you do, that’s not important
You and I who are making an effort to live are one, here

Hook)

Verse 3)
I don’t pity anyone on a whim
I don’t dare to forgive anyone
You, who has been upholding yourself more firmly than expected, are someone’s pride
Your place might be small but it has done well

in bringing you until here. Wipe your tears
I don’t cry by myself, those who see it don’t know this, it just hurts
Even though I’m not young, even though there is no god I believe in
I put my hands together and hope that you too are like me

My friends and family who live like weeds((Weeds are commonly used as a metaphor for being strong, persistent, and enduring))
It won’t be easy to reach a point where we’re satisfied but we keep going
Keep going, unheard prayers
steadily reach heaven

Hook)
