Verse 1)
Forever young, what was it that I’ve been wanting to achieve all this time?
I attacked everything fearlessly with an expression as if I’d destroy it
but after getting hurt for the first time, I started to worry about
when I’d fall. If I say that I was at the edge of happiness,

I was gradually being pushed off
Time seems to go fast, all I have in hand is a map
without an indicated destination. It looked endlessly wide
Is the treasure I’m look for something at a place that I cannot reach

at my walking speed? Does something like a treasure exist?
When time passes, I can’t hold it back
As someone said, is it really worth chasing it when you’re young?
Nobody explains it to me exactly, so

Hook)
All I can do is walk
The weather outside is fine
Contrary to my mood,
the weather outside is fine

Verse 2)
For a few years, there was a cold summer in my heart, a hot winter in my head
After barely a few seasons, I just follow the road sign
There is not one easy day. Even when it’s too much for me and I tilt over, another drink
Even though I put a finger in and shove my face into the toilet

the confusion doesn’t go away. When I snap out of it, I’m here
Since I can’t believe in myself, others can’t easily do it either
How honest am I, who talks bad about pretenses?
As I stand up, clutching my burning stomach, I am a lonely island

Someone [tell] me .. “Hey, cool off that heated body!
Hey, learn how to step back a bit already!
Hey, why are you dissociating yourself from others? You can’t make it by yourself.”
That’s not the problem though. Why I want to do this?

Hook)
There’s nothing else I can do
Someone envies me
Contrary to my mood,
the stage I stand on is glamorous

Outro)
What’s goin’ on brother?
What’s goin’ on?

((The following are lyric extracts from E SENS’ mixtape ‘New Blood, Rapper Vol. 1’, credit to demonade on HiphopLE))
I wonder what my crib was worth
Will I be able to provide better for my son one day?
As I haven’t been able to find love yet
I wonder if my father had the same thoughts one day((From ‘부르마블 (Blue Marble)’))

Music, my rhymes that move strongly
shall cut out everyone’s illness((From ‘M.C (Feat. Gaeko)’))

Wounds shouldn’t be exaggerated
Although letting them pass wordlessly is hard,
that is something quite important to me
If you know me, just pretend to be fooled,
I can’t hide it perfectly from everyone anyway

More talks about values
People and love are very different from me
and I’m saying I’m better((From ‘부르마블 (Blue Marble)’))

Everybody wants a job with good possibilities
When the greed of wanting to put on airs and the probing glances from the people around
choke them, the topic of Korea is money. But I don’t give a fuck((From ‘열정 (Passion) (Feat. Beatbox DG)’))

Worn-out, old fashion, giving the soul a break
Like a Hollywood movie
Knowingly or unknowingly, I talk about forbidden things
The scalps of smartasses stiffen
The melancholy of art((From ‘Make Music (Feat. Absolyte)’))

You can call me E SENS
After I nail words into the ears of fussy kids,
they’ll split,((= their heads will split)) this kanji:((‘kanji’ is the Korean version of ‘swag/style/coolness/swagger/…’)) a qualification((From ‘피똥 (Bloody Shit) (Feat. Simon Dominic)’))

Here, people can’t just stand by and watch others succeed
If you’re not snickering all the time, it’s a loss,
while inside rages a war, that’s what I’ve learned
until now, but what to do? They’re all quite brazen

Talking bad about that won’t make anyone say good things about me
I’ve always been a hopeless dumbhead
For smartasses, I am the first person to eliminate
They always tell me that I’ll die away from home somewhere

Fuck off asshole, I stir things up a second time
I stand tall in front of unseemly judgements
Go listen to your daddy y’all! You dumbo
shouldn’t talk about this game, well, Korean entertainment …

Uh, forget it, with the attitude of a gypsy
I go into the VIP room, downing expensive alcohol like makgeolli
What is it about these things that you guys are making such a fuss?
You’re not making music but you’re like a clothes hanger

The stuff you say all the time, another level, shit
The wrong weight class, the tail wagging the dog
Just by glancing over the sacrificial rice, I can see what’s going on
Well, kids who haven’t seen anything [in their life] seriously believe that

Interviews full of nonsense, smiling
prettily and saying, “I love you all”
Yeah, you just do all the good stuff
When you had nothing you dissed everyone, but after earning some you’ve changed

It’s bullshit, all of it
You placed 1st on MelOn’s charts?((On October 18, 2014, Gaeko was number one on MelOn’s charts with “No Make Up”, so Korean fans suspect that this track is directed at Gaeko. (Source) ))
Oh, good job
