Intro)
It’s been ten years that I’ve been making music as ‘Paloalto’
I prefer leading instead of doing what others tell me to
I don’t like being forced by others [to do something].
I do my thing

Verse 1)
Is the city’s freedom or justice on my side?
Scram, all of you who try to obstruct me
I’ve always resisted, while nearly everyone
was being swept away without any backbone, I felt the distance

I imbue the music with my soul, hands up everybody
Lead the trained me, oh great Creator
I draw a thick line, not on my wrist but on my heart
For me, there’s no resurrection in only three days after death

This moment comes only once, don’t skip it
I can’t overcome the wall of reality and put my hopes into the bitter cup((= alcohol))
But what is ideal and what is reality?
Is a heavy pocket((= lots of money)) the change I truly want?

Am I who is furious with anger in my right mind?
Will I be able to climb up the stairs to heaven?
Honestly, I’m a bit out of breath, victory seems far away
I think I’m not in for victory but who knows?

Shut up! I said I just enjoyed it
but you say I was wrong with a few words?
I have never been destroyed, but I have received applause
I dream a dream that doesn’t sleep, so I can’t help but stand by it

The inferiority complex of losers is a pain in the ass
Don’t blame me, get out of there
Guys who got together because they can’t stand on their own only look big
I have seen them fall countless times

Hook: Tiger JK)
I’m sick of the usual reply, “Nobody knows”
But even though I try to grab it, the past time goes behind
When I turn to look back, I clearly see the right choices
Why blame myself now? I look ahead again

Cuz time goes by, time gon’ fly
Unlike history books, my rhymes don’t lie
My music resembles me more than anyone
My music resembles me more than anyone

Verse 2)
Our lives look different depending on your way of thinking
If you constrain yourself, they will surely look small
Not trying to shake it off and fly means
that you will receive unsatisfying bonuses for life

A lot of rappers have been forgotten in memories
I’ve seen countless of them leave, although I long
for the dawns we shared, they’ve already become memories
In the end, I cannot forget the things we’ve achieved

I want the new generation to dream a bright dream
Power is useless, do you want to die gloriously?
Those who have it((= power, money)) try to hide their mistakes
You always have to work hard, they((= those with power, money)) try to kill dreams

Are you the same as others who find it((= working hard)) a bother?
Don’t avoid it, look straight at reality
Thoughtlessly made music flows away, like a Twitter timeline
So people always chatter loudly without thinking

To gain, I had to give up a lot of things
Don’t waste your feelings, learn how to hold back anger
Don’t say that you want to know what I really think inside
My music resembles ‘me’ more than anyone

Bridge x2: Tiger JK)
Time goes by, time gon’ fly
Unlike history books, my rhymes don’t lie
My music resembles me more than anyone
My music is ‘me’ more than anyone, what

Hook: Tiger JK)
