Here’s our speculation of the new label “Ambition Musik” formed by Illionaire Records.
Gray – Dream Chaser (Feat. Dok2 & Crush)
Hook)
What’s your dream?
What’s your dream?
What’s your dream?
Will you keep your head hanging like that?
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
계속 그렇게 고개 숙일거야?
What’s your dream?
What’s your dream?
What’s your dream?
Ask yourself, “What’s my dream?”
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
넌 꿈이 뭐야?
네 자신에게 물어봐 꿈이 뭐야?
Verse 1)
Have confidence, what on earth is your dream?
The protagonist of your life is you, no one but you
Live the life you want, don’t crouch
Why does everyone measure happiness by money?
자신감을 가져 넌 대체 꿈이 뭐야?
네 인생의 주인공은 너 바로 너야
원하는 삶을 살어 웅크리지 말어
모두의 성공의 잣대가 왜 돈인거야?
Why? I want to ask: Are you happy?
Yes, life is actually a bit unfair
Although the starting line is different for everyone
When we were young we learned that life is a marathon
Why? 묻고 싶어 넌 행복해?
그래 인생은 사실은 좀 불공평해
출발선은 모두 달라도
어릴 때 배웠잖아 인생은 Marathon

If you want to turn the crisis into a chance, counter now
Fully straighten your sagging shoulders
If you were born a human, leave your name behind
위기는 위험과 기회의 합성어
위기를 기회로 삼고 싶다면 받아쳐 지금
활짝 펴 축 쳐진 어깨를
사람으로 태어났음 남겨봐 이름
Yeah, oil it,
your dream that was rusty, may you seize it now
Life is too long to fall down and give up
Where is the dream you’re bearing?
Yeah 덧칠해봐 기름
녹슬었던 꿈 이제 거머쥐기를
넘어지고 포기하기엔 인생은 길어
네가 품은 꿈은 어디에?
Pre-Chorus x2)
Why do you have so many worries?
There are many things that are much more interesting
than what you’re seeing
Life’s so good
왜그리 고민이 많아?
네 눈에 보이는 것보다
훨씬 재밌는 게 많아
Life’s so good
Chorus)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
It’s a survival game, what are you so afraid of?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
survival game이야 뭐가 그리 두려워
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
I don’t envy sons of wealthy families the least bit
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
Yeah yeah yeah yeah I’ll be the one
부잣집 아들 한 개도 안 부러워
Verse 2)
Your family has to be well-off for you to be well-off?
Don’t blame your parents, your abilities are the cause
Rear the habit of doing everything by yourself, no matter what you do
No matter whether it turns out well or not, it’s your fault
집이 잘 살아야 니가 잘사는거니?
부모 탓 하지마 네 능력이 원인
뭘 하든 혼자서 하는 습관을 길러
잘 되든 못 되든 니 탓
Nothing has ever been easy for anyone
Put all on the line, go all-in, completely
Challenge it! What else are you so afraid of?
If you just bluff you can’t see what’s in front of you
원래 다 쉬운 일은 없어
전부를 걸어봐 All-in 해봐 몽땅
도전해 또 뭐가 그리도 겁나?
허세만 부리다 니 앞을 못 봐
Many people leave their own path
and follow the person next to them
Since you expect too much from your first attempt
you throw a tantrum or insist on having your way
많은 사람들이 자기 길 놔두고
옆 사람 따라 걷지
첫술부터 배부르겠다는 욕심 땜에
부려보는 땡깡 혹은 억지
You don’t feel moved or your heart throbbing
You’re a part of the system
It’s not too late yet so raise your dream
The world will acknowledge the dream you’ve been cherishing
가슴이 뭉클해지거나 두근거릴 일이 없지
넌 시스템의 부품
아직 늦지 않았으니 키워봐 너의 꿈
세상이 알아줄 거야 네가 바래온 꿈
Pre-Chorus x2)
Hook)
Verse 3: Dok2)
There’s no need to worry too much, the more you immerse yourself in something
the more complicated it becomes, this is life so be careful of that pit
The perfection everyone is dreaming of doesn’t exist
The answer is close-by, look around
너무 고민할 필요 없지 빠지면 빠질수록
복잡해지는 게 삶이니 조심해 그 수렁
모두가 꿈꾸는 완벽은 존재하지 않아
정답은 가까이 있어 주위를 둘러봐봐
Thoughts like, “It seems as if only I am by myself,” are a shortcut to loneliness
If you just take one step back and open your third eye
you will easily find out what you have missed and lost out on until now
Don’t keep things to yourself, request help and ask if there’s something you don’t know
나만 혼자인듯한 생각들은 외로움의 지름길
한 발짝만 물러나 제 3의 눈을 뜨면
쉽게 알게 될 거야 여태 뭘 놓치고 잃은지
앓지 말고 도움을 청해 모르면 물어
The world is wide and you have plenty of time
It’s never too late for anything, [x_extra info=”popover” title=”Pun” info_trigger=”hover” info_place=”top” info_content=”on ‘smoke’ and ‘smooth’ which here both use the verb form ‘펴’ (pyeo)”]don’t smoke cigarettes but smooth your forehead[/x_extra]
Throw away all lingering feelings about the past
For the sake of the newly upcoming days, shout: “Whattup?!”
세상은 넓고 넘치는 게 시간
늦음 따윈 없어 담배 대신 펴 네 미간
지난 일에 대해 미련은 다 버려
새로 다가올 날들을 위해 외쳐 wattup
Wassup young world, what it do, never give up
As long as we breathe we are special in all respects
You’ve come until here so go even farther
Just follow your heart, not your head
Wassup young world what it do 절대 포기하지마
숨을 쉬는 한 우린 특별해 어디까지나
여기까지 왔으니 더 멀리까지 가
따라가기만 해 너의 머리 아닌 맘
Bridge: Crush)
All I did was trying to keep up with my head and memories
I believe that all of this is my fault
Shackles are the evil in my heart
That’s why it’s [all] up to one’s outlook on life (*)
따라 잡히기만 했던 머리와 기억
이 모든 게 다 내 탓이라고 믿어
족쇄는 내 맘 안에 악
때문에 맘먹기에 달렸어
It’s been said before, right?
From the bottom to the top
Now I’m ready to dart off another step
Yeah I’ll be the one
전에도 얘기했었지
From the bottom to the top
이젠 더 한발 내달릴 준비가 끝났어
Yeah I’ll be the one
Pre-Chorus x2)
Chorus)
