Intro)
G.R.Boy((The track was produced by Giriboy.))

Verse 1)
Even before I entered elementary school
Every week on one weekday, my dad took me by the hand
and went with me to a bathhouse in the neighborhood
Dad’s washcloth really hurt

But what I feared more than that
was nothing other than
sharks. When I was six years old,
I believed that a shark was living in the cold pool

Uh, I even thought that
my pee-pee could get bitten
But other kids of my age
didn’t believe my words, I regret it

They had fun playing, and on top of that
a few of them even came wearing swimming goggles
So they did play to chill but I [was afraid of].
the shark that had to be hiding somewhere, can’t see((This can either mean that he couldn’t see the shark that was hiding, or that he couldn’t be seen in the cold pool because he was afraid))

I was only in the warm pool
After ten hot minutes,
my skin was wrinkly and my dad gestured me [to come out].
At the bathhouse, I looked down and gloomy

Inside, I think I actually envied the other kids
who weren’t afraid of the shark
I was quite naive [back then],
I wanted to play in the cold pool too

Chorus)
I believed that a shark was living in the cold pool
Man, I too know that it’s not true
Of course I don’t believe in the mesh bag grandpa((Fictive creature similar to a goblin, used for scaring kids; when children wouldn’t listen to their parents they’d tell them that the mesh bag grandfather would come and take them away in his bag)) either, retard
I am more scared of myself than of a shark

Hook)
Great white shark, mako shark
Because I was scared, I sat still while the others played
Great white shark, mako shark
I was scared of the pool’s inside

Verse 2)
Now, no matter which bathhouse I go to,
I know that there’s no f*cking shark in the cold pool
If you’re listening to this, don’t go to the place in Juyep-dong
I peed into the pool

And one of my wishes these days is
to use an invisibility skill((A skill from MMORPGS and other games)) and go into the women’s bath
A ‘mop head’,((Mocking term for people with dreadlocks because it looks like they’re wearing a mop on their head)) an idiot who smokes
e-cigarettes and Mild Seven at the same time((He’s sarcastically making fun of himself))

Those who played me meanly and unfairly,
I forever curse them to have car accidents((Supposedly a diss against Tablo for letting Incredivle do ‘Oppa’s Car’ on SMTM instead of Superbee))
Rappers bitch about too much
What if I have to go to hiphop prison for damaging [the image of] MCs?

Well, what, what, so what man?!
Then Korean hiphop is f*cked as sh*t and will be ruined
This is all I can say, I’m evil
Because now there is no shark in the cold pool

Verse 3: Black Nut)
I square my narrow shoulders in front of the cold pool
Between my legs is a fearless dolphin((Several very courageous people interpreted this as another diss against Tablo, seeing it as a reference to his daughter Haru liking dolphins, but they noted that they might be over-interpreting things since this is not a clear reference and Black Nut might be using the word dolphin simply because the song is about a shark))
So what if I’m bitten a bit? I don’t step back
I’m not scared anymore because I’m all grown-up too now

I’ve become an adult, I’m not a fool anymore
Seeing the rappers I yearned for in reality,
regardless of rap, what I felt first was that like Jung-in((Korean singer))
they all have nothing but politics in their noggins((Pun on ‘jung-chi’ which means politics but is also the name of singer Jung-in’s husband, Jo Jung-chi))

Now I understand Swings-hyung’s words a bit
Korean hiphop is nothing but politics((Cjamm mentions this too in ‘신기루’))
I won’t stick my tongue into your assh*le
Like the best days of the woman by your side, you’re just an Oldboy((Supposedly another diss directed at Tablo saying that he’s old; his wife Kang Hyejung’s heyday was when she starred in the movie ‘Oldboy’;
people also noted that the song was released on the couple’s 6th wedding anniversary))

Don’t use your head, you’re not a b-boy((to use one’s head literally means ‘to spin one’s head’ in Korean, thus it’s a reference to head spinning; also a parallelism with ‘Oldboy’ in previous line))
You’re a rapper, so please do what you’re supposed to already
I’ll give you Mercilons.((‘the Pill’, insult implying that they’re not real men; see following line as well)) If you come at me,
what you guys will see is blood,((also reference to a woman’s period, see previous line as well)) only that

Chorus)

Hook x2)
