Intro)
It’s just music

Chorus)
Even if this room that became messy gets cleaned for a long time,
it will just get dirty again
Hurry and leave after putting both of your feet on fire
Don’t ever dream of coming back either

I like it, after you left
I can breathe easier, my life is complete
I want to end this useless song quickly
and start a new song

Hook x4)
You’re skit skit skit
Now skip skip skip

Verse 1)
Even if I take your hand I don’t feel anything
The same lifestyle repeats itself every day without any big change
When you act cute for me and when you stuck close to me,
I ignored you while fumbling with my cellphone

To you who always forces love on me
I’ll now send my last remaining bit of love
I always ponder over what loss it would be
When the conversation ends we’ll only see each other’s backs

I am not sorry, now stop crying
No matter what wrongs I’ve committed I won’t hold up my arms ((Refers to the punishment that Korean students have to do in which they have to kneel and raise their arms for a given time.))
Even if you suddenly show up in front of my house one day, looking for me with two swollen eyes,
I won’t lower my head

Just kill the memories and let them go, skit
Just let them go with the sea breeze, ship
Our trip that we went on without any destination
Now it’s time to end it, let’s destroy our dreams

Chorus)

Hook x4)

Verse 2: Swings)
I thought my life had its own introduction, development, turn, and conclusion
You purchased it as a tenant of my heart and entered it
In my eyes you’re Mayweather, a champion, you were sexy ((Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a professional boxing champion who has won numerous titles and is undefeated.))
I got used to seeing your raised ass when you wore high-heels

While hugging me, you withdrew your backside
Now you’re through with me like Verbal Jint’s hairstyle these days ((A pun on the Korean word for “through with” that can also mean to comb back, literally “Now you’ve combed me back like Verbal Jint’s hairstyle these days”.))
You put me in a bird cage and flew far away
I’m now the empty bowl inside of an empty liquor jug ((He is referring to traditional liquor jugs in Korea that are quite large in which people would use a bowl to scoop the liquor and drink from it.))

If life is a famous album, you were originally my title
I called you a champion earlier, at any rate
you had a nice relationship and lost it like Fedor ((Fedor Emelianenko who is also a boxer that was undefeated for a decade and then lost consecutively three times))
Now the ending has come, you’re a withered spring cherry blossom

I never want to hear your news, you’re [like] a Youtube advertisement
“I’ve bet it all on you? Which horse of the racetrack is that?”
You don’t understand, do you? Yes, that’s how I felt a while ago, you’re good at construction
This time, try to build a new pillar again

Chorus)

Hook x4)

Outro x2)
Even if this room that became messy gets cleaned for a long time,
it will just get dirty again, that’s how [dirty] you are

Verse)
I’m the type that avoids pain only when his bones are broken
I’m still young but now I’m at an age where I can’t do that
The little money I earn is gone in no time
My fake friend was called by their mom? They leave the words ‘Now I gotta go’

and treat me like the grim reaper
That’s right, we’re similar. Especially when ripping you to shreds
I’d rather not believe it all than to get hurt
The entrance ceremony for this album, wait and see next year

You thought I had disappeared? I just cheated and came back.
I lived along with wisdom
That’s right, I learned a bit
Bare fists don’t work in the 21st century, I load the magazine [of my gun]

and I’ll decorate your protective wall artistically
Yellow skin, red blood, Chinese flag
No mercy, motherfucka
I’ll translate it for you … 자비는 없어

You know why? I don’t even have transportation money for the bus ((He is using a pun on the words jabi (mercy) and chabi (transportation fare).))
Reconciliation, what reconciliation? There’s no need for all that
Look back mothafucka, I’m raw motherfucka
Now sleep, that’s right, die motherfucka

This is the male version of Kill Bill
I enjoy watching you suffer, giggling
Snickering, I cried so much I almost drowned
If I commit suicide, that is actually murder

My attitude and expressions are tilted like Pisa ((He’s referring to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.))
Now I’ll even become popular in China, I will probably receive yuan
The illness that envious guys will get is stomach cancer ((Pun; in Korean, to be envious literally means to have an upset stomach.))
To those begging for their life, I say ‘Sorry’

A brown cigar that burns down time
All rappers are embarrassed to rap after me
Only I’m of a different color and very big, King Kong
That’s right, it’s different starting from the pronunciation, it’s not ‘King Kohng’ but King Kong ((The first time he says ‘King Kong’ is in the Korean pronunciation, the second time is in American English pronunciation.))

Drinking alcohol with them is nice but don’t get drunk
The sharp edge of the kitchen knife that kindly cut the cake earlier
might pierce you like butter
I’ll give a reply to false flattery in advance: Fuck off

Don’t hate the player, man hate the fuckin’ game
My name is written thickly in red handwriting on the list ((There is a Korean superstition that if your name is written in red, you will die.))
I’m every guy’s enemy, the centipede in women’s residence
The thing needed on the flag of Japanese imperialism, Hennessy ((Hennessy is a French cognac distillery company.))

Women and children can make mistakes, but if you’re a man
mistakes can’t be forgiven, prepare yourself if you’re a man
Don’t be envious of a woman’s life. If you’re a man,
youth is spicy and cools quickly. Of course if it’s not ramyeon

Before someone takes it away, quickly finish them off
Take the chance, get rid of clocks
Else, destroy yourself. Vegeta ((Character of the anime Dragonball, destroys himself to kill an opponent.))
Eating MCs is this pig’s eating habit ((He called himself a pig.))

No mercy,  I don’t have a foreign car
No mercy, can you understand this?
It seems like I’ve been misunderstood all my life, it’s actually
quite a cool movie, if you get to know the background a bit

However, they don’t give a fuck. So why should I?
Rather, if they were the judge, they would say that I should die
These fuckers,
I’ll soon let you know what the point of my bloodstained sword tastes like

Taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, taste!!!

Intro)
It took me uh, three years to finally record this song
Here we go again, listen up

Verse 1)
Every day I go out but I only
stay in place like on a treadmill
There are a lot of churches everywhere
but there’s not a single person I believe in

I hate it,
I finally came up to here but
I’ve never received
the approval of my family

I quit university,
no bastard listens to me
I even hate listening to the news
Someone please turn the volume down

I’ve never lived,
not even once
Time hasn’t allowed it
since I’m suffocating … yay

Verse 2)
I pushed you away,
I just waited for you
to grab onto someone else’s hand soon
I can’t say anything to anyone

I hate it, I just tried
to erase you but
no matter how much I shout and shout,
you’re not there to accept my tears

You definitely can’t cry
because you’re stronger than me
I’m forever sorry
because I’m trash

I’ve never been cool,
not even once
Now I’ll leave you alone to have a break
That is all … I can do

Verse 3)
If I could only return to the time
when I just played ball, “Could you give me everything?”
To that question, I’d wordlessly put a gun in my mouth
and before I even close my eyes, the trigger goes “bang”

My existence is like broken glass,
it can’t hold anything and can’t be fixed either
That must be why people like games, everything can be reset
Wealthy, what wealthy? When will I be able to make ends meet?

Now I can’t go anywhere, everyone mocks me
The only one who comes to mind is you who I hate to death
The teachers oppressed me. Acting like well-off celebrities by yourselves
you abandoned me, the world doesn’t change

[In] the forest where winter doesn’t end, I’m a tree
When it gets burned on the stove on A Lucky Day, ((Referring to famous author Hyun Jin Geon’s short story ‘A Lucky Day’))
that is the end, that’s my life
I’m a worm just waiting to be trampled on but I’m still …

Bridge)
It keeps goin down and down and down and down,
and down and down, and down and down,
and down and down, and down, ey

It keeps goin down and down and down and down,
and down and down, and down and down,
and down and down, and down, down

Outro)
Don’t hit my shoulder,
you want to have a fight?
You’re scared too
so please don’t provoke me

There’s not a single thing
different with all of you
Don’t pretend to be all that great
because I’m going to return now

Swings - Upgrade II (cover)

Swings – Welcome to the Jungle (feat. B-Free)

Verse 1)
You ask ‘How is this scene?’ It’s not a substitute
You want to visit this cement jungle? I’m the Tarzan here
I’ll teach you how to eat together with enemies without getting an upset stomach
Guys, please take it easy

Respect, keep that up
If you lose it like a nun losing her purity, your goal dies
Newcomers are always like that, they run right away
If they don’t, they are finished by the guy already flying above them (finished, finished, finished) ((A metaphor meaning that there is someone stronger))

But why is this?
I told you earlier to read it, ‘The Law of the Jungle’
‘Eat or be eaten’, no need for explanations
That’s why there are so many guys acting strong

The guys that are carrying pillows around under their arms,
it’s good to build muscles but improve your rap first
That’s the key to survival
Especially if you’re not special, you can’t tell me that I’m bad at it

Hook)
Welcome to the jungle, I’m a tiger so I’m king
I’m Tarzan here, if you’re a girl be my Jane
Lower your head to the side, and fold your arms
When I pledge, I hit my chest with my fists

x2)
Like woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

Verse 2)
I’ve been knocked out quite often
I laid down sprawled out on the sand and looked at the sky
Dozens of birds were flying in circles
The laughing hyenas can’t wait

You seem desperate, like a mosquito in fall
You want to suck me dry, you’re extremely stubborn
Giggling monkeys are quite noisy
But I can live, I already have the color ‘cocky’ inside ((Pun on cocky and khaki))

If I retire, they’ll ask ‘Why?’
It’s just ‘cause whenever I hear you guys’ stuff, the sound that comes out is ‘yuck’
Sorry, but you’re really wack
Pretending to be serious and doing it fast isn’t rap

High-ranked class, confused brothers
This is a game but I definitely won’t use a hack
You yell ‘check’ way more often than the hip hop president ((Nickname of a contestant from Superstar K 2 (*)))
It’s enough to be extorted, I don’t need backing

Hook)

Verse 3: B-Free)
Welcome to the jungle, I am Tarzan
or you could call me Free man like Morgan ((Pun on Morgan Freeman and B-Free’s ‘nickname’ Free))
I’m a beast, I’ll eat all your organs
and lay pipe to your girl like I’m playing organs

Raised by a pack of wolves like an orphan
Catch me in Hawaii swimmin’ with the dolphins
I’m an owl flying over your head
I am big, Kang Ho Dong, you’re AllBan ((Short for All Lies Band, one-person band consisting of Woo Seungmin who appears on The Knee-Drop Guru next to Kang Hodong who’s the main MC of the segment on Golden Fishery))

Once more, I am bic like the ballpen ((Pun on the ballpen company bic and big))
High up in the clouds like I’m riding on a soul plane
I’ll go until the end like a call van that goes to hell
Chill with B I G, 2Pac and Cobain

Your potbelly is increasing more than your skills
And you a bitch like a pregnant mutt
The blood-sucking mosquitoes say they like you
Your stench is stronger than your punchlines

Hook)
