Verse 1)
Someone’s music changes someone’s life
I feel grateful for the beauty of that process
I always feel thrilled when I pass on the baton
that I got from them to the next person

I still resemble myself from back then quite a lot,
from the time when I could smell scents of music
Since then until now, I’ve also been able to see music with my eyes
That brilliant light illuminates my life anew

GOLD. The world is dyed gold
When I first felt the feeling of love,
I realized that all beautiful things have a golden color
The Golden Era is proof of that

I want that color to embrace my life too
I wrote poems about that beauty everyday
Hiphop. The decalcomania of that brilliant time
that was made up only of the color gold

Verse 2)
In fear it would remain only as a memory of my youth,
I am still living with the same facial expression as back then
A lot of things have changed. The friends who
inspired me and who I inspired are not really taking my calls now.

Sometimes, my heart hurts due to my earnestness
towards the memo pad’s blankness that is consistent with silence
I love even that feeling
Yes, this is like that sea to me whose end you cannot see

GOLD. Someone reads it without the first letter,
erases their memories from the time they shined
and says “My unchanging color is tacky”
Haha, I just want to keep living as a tacky fellow

Those who change their colors according to the season,
I know, there is only one color that fits me
GOLD .. the most suitable name
when I try to express my love as a color

Verse 3)
What I want for this culture that has become stagnant
is that it goes forward with a strong wind,
that it shines. It is natural that I,
who grew up remembering his words, is doing this

I simply walk [my way] while dwelling
on the meanings of the countless words in Meta-hyung’s freestyle
I am going to the promised place((Reference to Garion’s ‘약속의 장소’ (Promised Place) ))
If I follow that light, I will be able to reach it

I want my joy to reach everyone
I also want you to have the feelings I have
And then I want your life to change for the better
I want the next generation to see that kind of you and change((He used these same four lines in the ‘Hi-Life’ album’s Intro (with B-Free and Paloalto) ))

Intro)
Wassup?
We are Speaking Trumpet
DJ Juice
Let’s go

Verse 1: RHYME-A-)
I am currently giving these lyrics wings
The destination is Tokyo, Haneda beyond the sea
My goal is worldwide propagation through the
messages in my lyrics, lyrical phenomenon

I spread my flow that just overcame borders
Will you be able to handle it? Fakes will soon be knocked out((Pun on ‘뻗다’ (ppeod-da) which can mean both ‘spread’ (see previous line) and ‘to be knocked out’.))
I don’t need a passport, bitch check my profile((Reference to Illionaire Records’ ‘Profile’))
Where’s my fuckin’ escort? You better use a hot-line

Verse 2: nuck)
The start is S.Soul city,((The ‘S’ probably refers to South Korea and Seoul is written ‘Soul’ on purpose to express that Seoul is the place where his soul is at.)) where will the flow go?
Just landing, I look at the moon in the night streets of Tokyo
Everyone is looking for something more thrilling
But I am always on an organic flow((‘Organic’ could refer to ‘the seeds’ in the next line))

Riding on the wind, I’m an eagle looking at the seeds I planted((This is ambiguous and can also be understood as: I look at these letters, the seeds I planted))
The flowers bloomed in the color black, the color of the leaves is pink
That’s my freakin’ ego, these streets that are different
everyday cannot stop either, hand on the heart

Verse 3: Zito)
The more time passes, the greater my Seoul pride gets
YG, Kendrick’s West coast shout out
In this barren city of hiphop, I planted seeds
that nobody can see. All of them combined in the

MCs out there, not the rap puppets
What makes Hongdae famous are the works of masters
They are being sold worldwide, they shine like a Rolex
If you don’t feel it, you’re like second-hand phone sex

Verse 4: Huckleberry P)
We in everywhere, the resonating sounds of trumpets
Over the walls of language, a story is inscribed into this foreign city
Not a meeting of vowels and consonants but a lump
That itself are we, it is meaningless to distinguish between tail and head

The sound that crossed the sea took me across the sea
Just like I seem to start resembling them, I see you starting to resemble me
Speaking Trumpet, 12 Walter Mittys
Vocal cords that resemble trumpets, restlessly speakin’ and speakin’

 

Verse 5: Kebee)
Today too I push my way through between drums and drums
I keep inspiration by my side and try to go carrying it across
Heavy rhyming that is in quite a different class from those
who rap only to the best of their talent. Come here, if the world is disgusting

My rap is like a lecture to those who need to learn
If you want to show off, this is life’s fun and seasoning
I will take you with me, around Mesopotamia over there
won’t be no place to hide, ready or not, yo

Verse 6: Kang San Yeoul)
This is not love but an obsession, an unconditional belief:
the Cross. A wedding carriage without a ceremony, marriage vows
without positions, no matter how long the 38th parallel north, it can’t stop it((The 38th parallel north runs roughly along the DMZ, so he is most likely talking about the reunification between North and South Korea using the metaphor of a marriage.))
Take the hand now, a gentleman in a white tuxedo

The guide for this honeymoon are the letters written here
The sentence that has infiltrated my chest without borders
Beggars of Joseon’s eight provinces that made their way into the continent((Joseon refers to the lands of both North and South Korea which were once divided into eight provinces.))
Prick your ears to the sounds of the master musician, this is literature and music

Verse 7: Minos)
I threw in a career, play the radio
The cigarette in my mouth is better than Evian
Ready or not, although you have a slender waist
you will shake me up, a memory of my travels

A small but mighty tongue with wings, who can compare
to my crude expressions? Baek Jiyoung who was shot by a gun((Reference to Baek Jiyoung’s song ‘총맞은것처럼’ [Like Being Shot by a Gun]))
I return the vibe I received from them
Choi Minho,((Minos’ real name)) a ticket in my hand, break of dawn

 

Verse 8: Born Kim)
Notorious Biggie Ol’ Dirty, 2Pac
Will my voice one day reach heaven too?
Instead of becoming a star there, I build a tower with my own rhymes
The stairs lead to my dream

Together, the footsteps I took become greatness
And the steps I am taking now will also
become someone’s stairs. We, who are approaching
our dreams, display true value the more time passes

Verse 9: suda)
Music goes around and comes around. Gather wishes like sunlight,
no matter where on earth, light dark places
Open the way to treat hateful minds for nothing
like the stethoscope of the Doctors Without Borders

Sometimes the black flag is up and the treasure of hope gets plundered
After putting it in a case locked with a password,
write on top of it “Do not take me out
before you have become alone, wait for the time of discovery”

Verse 10: D.Theo)((Note: D.Theo’s verse is in Japanese))
Nobody can cut off our ties
Although it’s a small ball,((Probably referring to a style of play in basketball where small players outrun the taller opposing players)) we overcome everything and [score a] goal
We have stronger weapons than anyone else in the league
The scenario is made by us, movie star

The stars are out, awake now
Today, take one more step than yesterday
Believe, close your eyes, feel it here,
the line that ties us together as one, for real

Verse 1)
My dream was decided for me before I was even born
My future hopes were merely future hopes
‘You can’t be anything but a pastor. You have to be a pastor’
If I look back, that was just my mom’s and dad’s dream

I wasn’t living as myself, putting on the costume of a good son
‘A guard, firmly protecting his dream’
I wasn’t protecting, but rather just watching
The gap between me and the real me widens

Receiving the Walkman as a gift
Was that sheer coincidence? Or was it God’s gift?
Garion’s freestyle playing from the radio
Was that sheer coincidence? Or was it God’s gift?

CDs and tapes in the room corner, I become immersed
That night when I first relayed my dream to my parents
Ultimately, my father’s dream returned to him
Remodel myself, through my own will

Verse 2)
The first lyrics I wrote, the first freestyle I spit
Everybody 5me5m first listener, Shout out to 5P sound
That feeling when I first rhymed during freestyle
I can’t forget that feeling, JJK knows

That time, freestyle was my only breakthrough during puberty
From Ewha University to Dongdaemun, Daehangno to Songpagu
The process of finding the real me
A bow to all those who helped me by my side

This is a homage of sorts
That time when I relayed my freestyle in front of the whole school
That time when I first met Rama hyung at the playground
That time when I heard my first compliment from Meta hyung

Those times made me who I am
Now I have Hi-lite by my side
And now, I’m at the peak of Korean freestyle
Last story-teller, monster on stage

Put your Hi-Lite signs up
Evidence of my dream
I prove that Palo-hyung made the right choice
