Hook x2: Paloalto)
We’re turtle ships, other ships chug along((Turtle ships are faster and more agile than “average” ships as they have sails and oars))
Piles of shit shall just fall on them((Meanwhile, turtle ships are covered on top))
Your pupils dilate, you feel pain
We’re tough cookies, you guys are only average

Verse 1: G2)
We’re turtle ships, other ships chug along
Hold on, we’re in a completely different ozone from you
Hi-Lite, soldiers who can fly in the sky
A fight without any fairness or shit, a meaningless challenge

My ninjas flying over oceans
You bitches fighting for attention
You guys being envious
That is a characteristic which bitches have, it’s plain disgusting

We never ever give anyone 2 fucks
New Seoul, the strongest brothers have all gotten together
First, we destroy all stages of the Republic of Korea
I recommend you obey before becoming our enemy

Be very afraid,
if you spit words without thinking, a war will start
If you’re not our friend, we definitely keep you in check
Come with that bit of beef, I’ll grill it for you on a gridiron

Verse 2: B-Free)
We so fly, so high, there’s not enough oxygen here
Now welcome to Hi-Lite, flight
Business class, the stewardess brings peanuts((Reference to the “nut rage” incident))
Our company’s value rises too, yeah

My enemies purchase oxygen in advance
I buy a car, you go broke((Pun on car (cha) and go broke (kkangtong chada) ))
No matter if under, main, rapper, or idol
The title doesn’t matter, let’s earn money, let’s get paid

The most important thing are your skills
A vision of a dimension different from others’, authenticity
An article about me is published, 1st place on real-time search
However, the picture doesn’t show me but Song Suk-hyun((Sway D’s real name))

Little kids point their fingers at me and insult me
In front of the computer, they act strong
But I’m alright, everything bounces off me
I push it all away, I’m a human turtle ship, ey

Hook x2: Paloalto)

Verse 3: Okasian)
We’re turtle ships, one killer whale at your ship
5 deep underwater, exhale thru the nose
My style, try to bite it,((pun; colloquially, bite means to copy)) I’m potassium cyanide
The moment you bite me,((or: the moment you badmouth me; another pun on bite/chew (ssipda) which can also mean badmouth)) you will face your Lord

Goddamn, goddamn
Your girlfriend says she saw me in her dreams
Half of me is arrogant, the rest modest
The important thing is balance, wirewalker, ey

You’re like anyone else, not a 2nd-generation chaebol but a beggar
The rest remains and we have the same father
We stole the loser rappers’ money and divided it all
We shared all of it, we hold a party, you’re uninvited

Verse 4: Paloalto)
Ha, you judge me as if you know me
and hearing that, others say: right, let him fail
I’m saying I’m neither fake nor real,
I’m just me. If you don’t like it, leave

You guys’ words which aren’t real don’t matter
I have something bigger than that
Every place I go I see love,
people who welcome me have gathered

Honestly, I only have a few real friends
There are intruders around me trying to steal my wallet
I’m really grateful to the people who believe in me,
because the more money I earned, the hungrier I became for love

There are many retards who avoid reality
Snap out of it, damn it, live diligently
Nobody will feed you
I will never open my heart, ha

Hook x2: Paloalto)

Verse 5: Zico)
You guys are only average, we’re not normal
If you can’t do it like in the country of origin, copy me((= If you can’t imitate the original hiphop they make in the US, take me as your model))
What the fuck, you took the wrong route
You’ll regret having entered my area

When the water comes in, I keep rowing,((Possible reference to E SENS’ “Next Level”: I was ready to row, but the water wouldn’t come in))
[like] beer bottles that flounder even in the blue ocean((Probably a reference to the Blue Ocean Strategy))
Even while the foam goes down,((Note that “foam” or “bubbles” is a metaphor for the “short-lived” musicians, unlike the “turtle ship” which stays on top (see following line).))
I’m a turtle ship that easily survives on top of the charts

Okay Dokey, 겁, moneyflow, all from my hands
I’m the producer who turned Song Minho rich thanks to royalties
Creativity is a treasure island, parabolas fall
This is the Maginot Line, for you

Thanks to indiscriminate pointing of fingers
I easily received attention (Oh yeah!)
And thanks to the stones you carelessly threw
I was able to break the prejudices surrounding me and leave them

Now it’s time for the scholars to act
You can’t distinguish imitation from inspiration? Why?
If you have kids, tell them too that they plagiarized your face
Stop seducing [girls] by listening to The Anecdote, man

I pronounce “annual income” as “Power Pole”((Reference to the Power Pole of Goku from Dragonball; in Korean the words sound more similar: yeonbong and yeoeuibong))
because when I just feel like it, I can enlarge it all the way
I got enemies, I got a lotta enemies
To me they’re Bearbricks that I own in different colors
