Verse 1)
7AM, early December, the room is dark
A couple hours ago, I cleaned up way too many glasses
Like a bartender, I emptied everything
My head is exploding

Poured it all into the ice bucket
I’m almost 30, my youth flies away with my hangover
Everyone’s graves are in front over there
The reason for my slowed pace is obvious

I’m scared, does this mean I’ve grown up?
My conservative mindset and life pick fights with me
“Moon Ji Hoon has come back”((Moon Ji Hoon is Swings’ full Korean name))
“He hasn’t caused trouble today, see you tomorrow”

I’m watching the hip hop scene from afar
Seeing swindlers pretend that they’re kings enrages me
As if becoming detached from a burning house, I run away
Wrapped my wounds with bandages and picked up my gun to clean up

You motherfuckers, you dare dirty my father’s home?
To you, my spit is sweet. Here, fuck you
I gave you medicine, but I never sell drugs
If you’ve swallowed, drink fucking water, hurry and come out

Several years ago I was once king, I’m used to playing the role
This seems like a revolution, but really it’s just an encore
Real bitches waited for this bitch
Am I very late? Your ears hurt from listening to that, right?

Not an erect penis, but your ears perk up
Arrange the marriage between hip-hop and pop, I’m the father-in-law
“Where did you sleep last night?”
Sorry honey, I can’t say. Either way, I’ve come home

I’ll make two promises to all who know me
You know my style, I’ll never do anything tacky
My second promise: even if I become successful, I won’t change
Forever a fool, a rebellious child with a strong experimental attitude

If you know me, then you know what the rest is
If you’re real like I’m real then you know who the best is
If you know me, then you know what the rest is
If you’re real like I’m real then you know who the best is

Hook)
I have fallen, and have been broken
Want to hear something ironic? What had tripped me wasn’t you
Hell no, it was never you
Nah, although it’s a shame

Whether I’m succeeding or failing
I’m more comfortable with putting all the blame on myself
Although I won’t fail, that’s the good part
Motherfucker

Freestyle)
Alright, Moon Swings, that’s my name
I’ve come all the way here. Now what?
I won’t stop, this is freestyle
Do you know what that means?

I’ve never written lyrics
Like the ocean, I just spit forward
Like waves, I know I’m born with it((Word play: the Korean word for born with something (타고나다) can also be used to express the act of riding waves (파도타기).))
I eat y’all up like tacos

Damn, I killed the beginning
I’m going to cause trouble, will remain deeply ingrained in history
Your exhaustion, I won’t be making my way home
Just moving forward, here we go

Hook: Joosuc)
Yes, laugh at me, haters with a reason
Yes, laugh all you want, haters without even a reason
Even if I die, I don’t lie
History remembers me, I do this for life

Chorus: Ven)
Do this for life, I awake my heart
I won’t be afraid or shrink from it
I’m not ashamed in front of anyone

Even if I die, yeah I don’t lie
Yeah, yeah
I do, I do this for life

Verse 1: Joosuc)
Yes, one song is not enough
to spit about all the world’s irrationality
I’ll repay you twice, no thrice, for this ostensible defeat
that looks pitiful on the outside

Even though rough wind and waves overturn a boat,
they can’t break my will, even though I’m defeated and trampled on
The power principle is in favor of those who are rich
It does not change even with time, this jungle’s law

Yeah, I said I don’t lie
When the time comes, I’m gon’ fight
Like a green pine tree that isn’t influenced by the seasons,
my will is firm, please do be careful

Verse 2: Ugly Duck)
Yes, devalue me, haters with a reason
I’ll still do it my way, no matter what your reason is
You can blame me. If it’s a problem caused by my actions,
I’ll lower my head and accept it

Since it is for my sake, I uphold love and respect
I’ll hang in there until the day of the last toast
I announce to you all who are listening,
when I stand up high, I’ll sing this song again

Chorus: Ven)

Verse 3: Deepflow)
I do this for life, cheers to my sweat
I salute my seniors (Yes sir!)
Everyone’s afraid of a fair fight
What you want isn’t hip hop but celebrities

On Judgement Day I sit on the hot seat
Try to devalue me, for several reasons
Try throwing stones, reach out with both arms
Just throw the last meal for me

No matter what the path of success,
no matter if respect is merely superficial
I do it, do it, yo, what you waiting [for], hah?
Believe in your hand, a greater tomorrow will come

Verse 4: New Champ)
Piranhas, rip me open so that I am franker
Blood naturally has to be left for one
to go down in history, no I’m thankful
For my bones and skin I’ll give you blood and flesh

Sharing peace up front, treating me like a hearing impaired behind my back
Inside of the crucible of reversal((can also mean: “In the heat of the moment that is the reversal”))
I’m a creationist but I’m evolving
Push me off and wings will appear on my back

Hook: Joosuc)

Verse 5: Jindoggae)
On the outside, pretending to be closer than anyone else
but holding a hilt behind their back
Yesterday’s colleague is today’s enemy
Although they’re laughing, they might attack you, uh

There was no truth. By instigating a few,
even the truth becomes a lie in this system
There’s no need to curse, man
You and I are similar to them too

Verse 6: Swings)
I’ve raised my dream like my Emo((Not sure if this is what he means, but this might be a reference to the League of Legends character Emo Amumu whose Korean name is “Emo Kid Amumu”.))
I run towards the top, I won’t be a flop like D-War (woops)((Korean movie that was a box office hit in South Korea but flopped in the U.S. against Korean people’s expectations.))
My short rap life has bloomed like a rose
Even when it’s withering, I’m doing it.((Probably meaning rap/music)) You’re a keyboard warrior, right?

My dope flow is a present for Santa, hoho
You lost your ho? I’ve found my mojo
This game’s a pimp; like prostitutes, we …
But I’m the last piece. Nobody can eat it((Out of politeness, nobody dares to eat the last piece.))

Fuck the money, fuck the hoes,
they’re an option
They say I’ve got a screw loose
Alright, you keep to the standard route by yourself

You don’t want to be fucked up either, right?
You’ll get scolded, get out of the way!
At least my heart is Usain,((Reference to sprinter Usain Bolt, see following line too))
it beats fucking fast

Chorus: Ven)

Outro: Joosuc)
Yeah, when you’re weak,
there’s no truth and no justice
so we do this for life
and we never lie

I believe in myself
I believe in myself
I believe in myself
I don’t give a shit mo’fuckers, yeah

I believe in myself

Verse 1: Giriboy)
Christmas back. When your loneliness has healed, I’ve become a nightmare
Estimate your dream. No need to cower. Pronounce as you normally do
I look below. Critics linking arms between my fans.
Our reserved seats. You’re barefoot, I’m Jordan number 5

Sudden rain upon this peaceful ground
While we weren’t here, the rappers who sucked on honey are all bees
Your head is a beehive. A shotgun with no bullets needed
Students have gone crazy. A wasp has come into the classroom

Yeah, that’s right, a wasp. My poison stinger aimed at you
Lucid dream. No reality that you want before I wake up from this dream.
There’s no urgency from you. You just do. I’m all over the place. Sleep in installments
Disappearing drought. I’m a rain shower, you’re a once flaming pine tree

I’m rain, defend yourself. You’re tears, hidden in this rain.
My girl is rain. Then remove raincoats and die.
Your hands are too busy. Always on top of this fire
I enjoy without putting too much efforts. You’re buried, under her booty

Hook: Nochang)
Meanwhile, the rain shower that I have brought outside
The drenched females run around and play
Males, not knowing whether this is a dream or reality, ask me
Son, this is the future

It’s raining outside, drizzle drizzle
It’s raining outside, drizzle drizzle
It’s raining outside, drizzle drizzle
It’s raining outside, drizzle drizzle drizzle

Verse 2: Cjamm)
Ah, I’m ready to go. Just leave the proxy driving to me
No, this is actually robbery. Get out, fucker. I love violence. I’m a pain.
Atmosphere is mixed blood or Korean American. Try coming to Jeju Island
My inspirations are taking word tours. No matter what land, we’re 19+ explicit.

Ah, it’s pouring. Vomit it all and drink again
Break your promises and come to my performance. You’re girlfriend’s spotted, half melted
Sexy and so bad, when talking at night, my name’s not missing
I acknowledge what’s right as right. But, don’t try to confine me to a system. I’m Psyduck((Psyduck comes out of his Poké Ball whenever he wants. Referring to how Cjamm doesn’t stay confined and comes out whenever he wants.))

You see only the obvious, follow first. I bring my ambition out from comic books.
My role model, Monkey D. Luffy((Protagonist of anime and manga, One Piece)) You laugh, right? That’s your bowl’s size((*Refer to this link: http://translatedkhiphoplyrics.tumblr.com/post/92638647016/korean-metaphors-the-bowl))
Rappers study my lyrics. I’ve done nothing but just doing this.
I’ll write my name big in history. C to J to the A, double M

I acknowledge. I’m still a kid. Experience is nothing.
Right, so I’ll show you so show me the money
Shout out to Incheon. Don’t use the word ‘represent’
If hip hop is Korea, then you represent Tsushima

Hook: Nochang)

Verse 3: Swings)
Promising song, like a bumblebee. No halo
I don’t even wear a bucket hat. I’m hungry. Sharp like my Mohawk
I don’t play around. Yeah, I’m so sharp. She need to work, blow jobs
Get lost negative energy. I hate you. I want to occupy this music scene

Idol girls, always pretty whenever you see them
But don’t like those who want to earn money without having the skills
Born again. Settle down. A little busy to live lightly
But I like alcohol, Tom Cruise((Play on words. Suri, Tom Cruise’s daughter sounds like alcohol in Korean))My personality sucks? I didn’t ask you.

To my standards, you’re thick. I’m sorry, I protect myself.
But I think what’s right is to give back four hits if I’m hit once.
You don’t know me, although you may have seen me. Even if you have seen me,
I’m special, four leaf clover. Control your younger junior. He’ll get ripped to shreds.

Obsession with accidents, make people crazy. If I had one, I’d probably raise a gun to my head
Barely overcame it. But it comes back. Please don’t ask me, can’t gain sympathy
If nightmares are dreams, I’m wetting my pants
Being well off is more tormenting than not doing well

Hook: Nochang)

Intro)
Yeah
[laughs]
I’m searching for a sophisticated laugh
[laughs]
I’m a bit fed up with this one about now
Gotta do it less often

Verse 1)
When I was young, I wasted
too much money and time
“If I could only make it undone,”
is what I think tens of thousand times a day

At 22 I became mature
It’s like Jang Miran((Pun; in Korean, to become mature (see previous line) literally means to lift iron and Jang Miran is a weightlifter))
Only after I found out that “Time is gold”
I treasured it, I wasted

not even one hour
That way, I turned from a rapper into a king
When I give a concert now, I get 5 million won
You’re surprised, right? Yeah, me too

But the path I’ve walked hasn’t been easy
I really have a lot of antis and haters
Fighting with them was fierce
but I’ve always stayed real

Hook)
I did my best (Yup!)
I understand that you’re jealous but
don’t be like that to me, don’t be like that to me,
don’t be like that to me, don’t be like that to me

Your girlfriend says she likes me (So?)
In that case, go and complain to her
Don’t be like that to me, don’t be like that to me,
don’t be like that to me, don’t be like that to me

Verse 2)
It seems like I’ve only now found my place
An outlaw hiphopper, Robin Hood
Public Enemy #1((Public Enemy is an American hiphop group))
A public enemy but to someone #1

Bad smelling jealousy and envy
I stretch my legs and smoke a cigarette
I’m above the haters now
Ah, no, I gotta go to [give] a concert, see y’all later

I know E-Sens, and I know Simon,((Simon Dominic))
said I know VJ,((Verbal Jint)) yeah I know Quiett
So what my friend? Mind your own business
that way you will become well-off like me

You’ve become a bit popular? Hm, cool
You gave me your CD now hurry and get out
It’s good that you have many fans but … hm, the thing is
go show off somewhere else, don’t be like that to me

Hook)

Verse 3: The Quiett)
Yo, I think I understand your feelings
I am often jealous just the same
but the difference between you and me is this:
that((jealousy)) is all you have. While you

space out and bitch about without any passion,
I judge kids like you
Ayo, try a bit harder
How will you chase after me that way?

While you hang around fangirls after concerts,
I always go home and practice
Well, there are times when I envy you
who just mindlessly wastes time. But

you know, the game’s fierce
If I’m lazy like you, how can I be real?
You have no right to say anything to me
Do it properly already, you fake motherf*cker

Hook: Swings & The Quiett)
