Intro)
The first feeling, that is still being naive
Everybody started those times with excitement
I remember that time exactly
Eighteen years old, many broken CD cases in my bag
On the traces of the way I have walked

Verse 1)
Dust has now gathered on the ignorance and sneers that people easily aimed at me
You guys probably don’t even remember that I’m the guy from back then
Man, I have never once changed
What has become less serious are my mother’s worries

Envious guys compare me with reality
Saying that this is also nothing but work at one point, scaring me
I still don’t know, is TV a race that aims to get me?
I just have to keep walking, not like the rabbit but like the tortoise((Possible reference to Olltii’s ‘거북이레이스 [Tortoise Race] feat. Seo Chulgu’ which again refers to Aesop’s fable ‘The Tortoise and the Hare’))

I’ve reasoned with myself in every moment of temptation
“Don’t look at reality, this is the medusa that will strengthen you”
What I was able to have were ignorance and an inferiority complex
I spent nights horrifyingly brushing these two aside

It’s childish but what I wanted was a romantic ideal
However, I didn’t look beautiful, unable to even earn money for transportation
I cursed at everyone who didn’t acknowledge me
In the end, that evil got me out of the prison((Metaphorically speaking, the ‘prison of his mind’, he wasn’t in a real prison))

Climb)
Now my phone and love calls have become hotter
That’s the only thing that changed, I’m not going to change
Show Me The Money, watch well who remained here
Not a dot but a line, I’m on the way to keep proving myself

Hook)
Yeah, what I realized due to sweet [tempting] gestures
Role model? The answer is: none
I’ve joined hands with Deepflow again, like four years ago
Now I am responsible for myself, CEO

Bridge)
Like an airplane before flying up high,
we rolled around on the ground for a while
Like an airplane before flying up high,
we rolled around on the ground for a while

On the rough sketch I drew four years ago,
I now paint an even deeper color
On the rough sketch I drew four years ago,
I now paint an even deeper color

Verse 2)
The second feeling is becoming more at ease
The hurdle of romantic ideals is sometimes bigger than reality for me
Giving the candy ‘respect for the classics’ to kids
and then pull out their rotten teeth so that they cannot badmouth((Pun; in Korean, ‘badmouth’ (ssipda) also means ‘chew’.))

Respect for the classics, after that a full stop.
I don’t plan to write more, I still see
who presented a proper future
Really needed is not a teacher but someone who shows the way

Yeah, I say it again, for me there is No Role Model
I’ve stretched out my wrist up there
and on top of it I straightly placed my V sign
Nobody has the right to tell me [about what’s] ‘real’

Yeah, the sweat I’ve dropped on the ground so far((The Korean word for ‘ground’ can also mean ‘scene’, referring to the Khiphop scene))
It now evaporates, rises up high and unites to clouds
So that it may rain on dry lands
To those who are dripping wet right now: Rest In Peace
