Intro: Reddy & Okasian)
I’m on my way, I’m not in a hurry
I’m on my way, I’m not in a hurry
We’re on our way, we’re not in a hurry
We’re not, not, yeah

I’m on my way, I’m not in a hurry (It’s only a matter of time)
I’m on my way, I’m not in a hurry (It’s only a matter of time)
We’re on our way, we’re not in a hurry (It’s only a matter of time)
We’re not, not, yeah (It’s only a matter of time, time, time, time)

Verse 1: Reddy)
Sun, shine above me, hallelujah
Who would dare to hide behind their hands?
The moment the light comes in, life will probably change
I don’t like the middle, I start from that top

I’m a nuclear weapon waiting to explode. A young kid tells,
“I do the things I like, I fail, I lose too”
I believe in everything I have prayed for
The road we are to take is not on this map

The watch on my wrist has stopped now
My notebook is overflowing with blood stains
Killer whale, we are not in a hurry
We are going slowly, I know my way

Hook: Okasian)
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
I’ll be fine, we’ll be doin’ alright (right x5)

It’s only a matter of time (right x5)
It’s only a matter of time (right x5)
It’s only a matter of time (right)
I’ll (right) be fine (right), we’ll be doin’ alright

Verse 2: Kid Ash)
There’s no stopping for me. Things like walking slowly
or going up step by step, I don’t know them at all
I do think, I do calculate
This world cannot be calculated with a calculator

You stupid guys are walking up the stairs
step by step, you quit even before you’re half-way up
You’ll be out of breath and tired, step in place or sprain your ankle
At one point you will experience tumbling down anyway

What are you? The setting sun. I’m the rising moon, it’s my turn
An express train arrives right on my time
I get on board of the KTX, you’re still on the stairs
Do you think your two legs and what I’m riding can compete?

Problems, problems, I have a lot of problems. The problem is
I know that it’s just a matter of time until I succeed((Here, ‘matter’ and ‘problem’ are the same word in Korean.))
I’m not impatient, I always wait leisurely
You know it, the result is very obvious anyway

Hook: Okasian)

Verse 3: Okasian)
Every beat I’ve been killin’ (right), every pair I’ve been sneakin’, (right)
everything I’ve been seein’ made me every men I’ll be needin’ (right)
Lookin’ like we chillin’ but we on a million missions
Like timebombs we tickin’ to be blown in front of yo mistress

No matter what the work, [I give] 100%. If it’s a hobby, I keep it at home
Any excuse is bullshit, if I say I do it, forget about consider[ing] it
No matter what road, it cannot just be packaged neatly((Metaphor for “just looking good (a pretty package) is not enough, it actually has to be good.”))
No matter what chance, I make it mine, filling up my name’s empty can

We never lose our way or hold each other off
Until I set up Little Italy in my closet, there’s no finale, bitch
Yeah, I do the same thing again,
no time to chill baby, I’m try’na make a mill

Won’t stop, continously twice as fast
My right hand writes rap everyday and my left competes with it
Cohort, Hi-Lite, my resume
Like Palo-hyung’s lyrics, there’s no idiot among us three((1) Reference to Paloalto’s line “Hi-Lite 우리 팀원 중엔 병신 없지” [Hi-Lite, there’s no idiot among our team members] in Jerry.k’s ‘We All Made Us (Feat. Paloalto, The Quiett, Deepflow & Dok2’
2) Pun, three in Korean means ‘set’ → there’s no dumb [track] on our set(list) ))

Tiger JK & Tasha talk with Danny Chung promo image

Danny Chung Interviews Tiger JK and Yoonmirae – Unpretty Rapstar, #BlackLivesMatter, Keith Ape, and More

Last week, Philadelphia based rapper Danny Chung (formerly known as Decipher) interviewed MFBTY (My Fans [Are] Better Than Yours) members Tiger JK and Yoonmirae, where the three discussed about leaving Jungle Entertainment (and the beginnings of Feel Ghood Muzik), their seven year old son Jordan, The Movement Crew, reality shows Show Me the Money & Unpretty Rapstar, Keith Ape, and more.

Paloalto comments on Keith Ape’s going to the US

Read hiphopplaya’s brief interview with Paloalto about Keith Ape.

More than 7 million views on YouTube, updates on him on Complex’ official Facebook site, and more. Keith Ape, the ‘It G Ma’ star, is receiving attention not only in South Korea but also abroad in the US and elsewhere. He is temporarily halting his activities in South Korea and leaving for the US to officially start making music there. In the most unprecedented way, Keith Ape is heading for the US and we wish him all the best for the future.

 

Keith Ape leaving for the US. The news are a bit sudden.
Paloalto: About two months ago, we at Hi-Lite talked with Keith Ape about it and came to that decision. He prefers to make music in the US.

Does he already have a contract with a local label?
He signed a contract with an American [artist] management company. They will be in charge of his activities in the USA.

Has his contract with Hi-Lite ended?
Effectively, Hi-Lite Records are not in charge of his activities in the US. That is because the American company can do more for Keith Ape. If one day Keith Ape will be active in South Korea once more, we will naturally work together again.

As CEO and fellow musician, what are your thoughts of him leaving for the USA?
I am very proud of him and I support him. I hope he can do what he likes and keeps improving himself over there.

Finally, rumor has it that ASAP Ferg also participated on the ‘It G Ma Remix’, when will it be released?
I cannot say anything about that. You will know when it’s released.
