Dynamic Duo – Retire (Feat. Massive Töne, DJ Friz)

Verse 1: Choiza)
Lately, I’m sick and tired of this scene. Why?
Because of the schemes that outshine any politics
Instead of a reward, your hard work is repaid with betrayal
Groundless rumors are an assassin that kills my truths

나 요즘 이 바닥이 신물 나게 지겨워 왜
정치판 뺨치는 권모 술수들 때문에
노력의 대가 대신 돌아 오는 건 배신
헛소문은 내 진실을 죽이는 assassin

Migratory birds come and go anyway
Life’s a lonely one-man-show
Yesterday’s friend [now] intends to backstab me
My trick is to leave on a trip without hesitation

어차피 철새는 come and go
인생은 외로운 one man show
어제의 친구가 노리는 내 뒤통수
미련 없이 떠나는 여행이 나의 꽁수

Gaeko)
I ride the rhythm, I’m totally crazy about music
But I’m tired from the hiphop scene [here] that’s even crazier than me
Assholes who start disputes always play innocent
All that’s left now are conspiracies and hidden truths

나는 리듬 타는 음악에 완전히 미친놈
근데 나보다 더 미친 힙합씬에 지친 몸
논쟁을 일으키는 새끼는 언제나 시침 뚝
지금 남은 건 음모들과 숨겨진 진실뿐

That child-like time, wanna go back to ’99
With just a pen and a notebook my passion went wild
Now all I’m interested in is who sells more
I wanna leave reality and live like crazy, like ’69

철없었던 그 시절 wanna go back to 99
펜과 공책만 있으면 내 열정은 난리나
지금 내 관심은 단지 누가 더 많이 팔리나
현실 떠나 미친 듯 살고 싶어 like 69

Now, let’s leave these politics
Dong-gi dong-gi dong-dok koong
Now, let’s leave on a trip

덩기 덩기 덩덕 쿵
자 이제 정치판을 떠나자
덩기 덩기 덩덕 쿵
자 이제 여행을 떠나자

Dong-gi dong-gi dong-dok koong
Let’s leave, leaving our worries at home
Dong-gi dong-gi dong-dok koong
Let’s fly away on those clouds far away

덩기 덩기 덩덕 쿵
근심은 집에 두고 떠나자
덩기 덩기 덩덕 쿵
저 멀리 구름 타고 날아가자

Hook)
Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
We cross seas to meet our friends
Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
I’ll retire from the hiphop politics now

Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
바다 건너 친구를 만나러 가요
Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
Hiphop 정치판은 이제 난 retire

Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
We cross seas to meet our friends, come on
Fly, fly, fly
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Fly high yo! Up in the sky yo!
바다 건너 친구를 만나러 가요 come on
Fly, fly, fly
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Verse 2: Massive Töne)
Schowi)
Ey yo, Dynamic Duo and the Massive Töne trio
staying open-minded, come and rhyme as it rappeals to us ’cause
we’ve got connections, have arrived from afar with the Airbus, man
and we pump our sound in your EQs and your chair, man

Ey yo, Dynamic Duo und das Massive Töne Trio
bleiben open-minded komm’ un reim’ wie’s uns rappealt denn
wir ham Beziehungen, komm mi’m Airbus von weit her man
und pumpen uns’ren Sound in deinem EQs und deim Chair man

Ju)
Yeah man, we Germans in Korea are making noise, man
We’re getting to know each other right now while others are drifting apart
We circle the globe, transmitting like satellites
No further ado, when in Rome, spit as the Romans do

Yeah man, wir Germans in Korea machen Lärm man
Wir lern’ uns g’rade kennen während sich and’re entfernen
Kreisen um die Erde, senden wie Satelliten
Lassen uns nicht lange bitten, andre Länder, andre Spitten

Schowi)
Once the beat starts [x_extra info=”popover” title=”Wordplay” info_trigger=”hover” info_place=”top” info_content=”The German word for ‘change’ or ‘make a difference’ used here literally means ‘to move’; making this sentence have a double entendre: Once the beat starts, we make more people move than diplomats do”]we change more than diplomats[/x_extra]
’cause we got a rap diploma and energy like industrial nations
More than bureaucrats, forget about Bush and bin Laden
When we start something, jaws drop in Asia, one after the other

Kaum lässt man den Beat starten, bewegen wir mehr als Diplomaten
weil wir ‘n Rap-Diplom haben und Energie wie Industriestaaten
Mehr als Bürokraten, vergiss Bush und bin Laden
Wenn wir ‘n Ding starten fallen reihenweise Kinnladen in Asien

Ju)
Well, those are actions in different languages
While politicians don’t get anything done and fail over and over
We save the dictionary when we’re visiting partners
(Choiza: Yeah, hiphop is our social code) It’s the language of the youth

Tja, das sind Taten in verschiedenen Sprachen
Während Politiker schlafen und immer wieder versagen
Wir sparen uns den Duden wenn wir Partner besuchen
(Choiza: Yeah, 힙합은 우리의 교제법) Das ist die Sprache der Jugend

Bridge)
(Choiza) Hiphop, it’s not politics (Gaeko) Haters, stop for a while
(DD) Stretch out your hand and raise your thumb up high
(Gaeko) From Germany to Korea (Choiza) Watch this, it’s a big deal
(DD) It’s true, this is an international feast

(Choiza) Hip hop it’s not a 정치 (Gaeko) Haters 잠시 정지
(DD) 손을 뻗어 높이 위로 올려봐 니 엄지
(Gaeko) from Germany to Korea, (Choiza) watch this 별 일이야
(DD) 정말이야 이것은 국제적인 잔치

(Schowi) When we hiphop artists pull together (Ju) haters are way in over their heads
(S & J) Keep your fist open if you want to go along into battle
(Ju) From Germany to Korea, (Schowi) Asians, Europeans
(S & J) Absolutely dynamic and massive, man we’re one team

(Schowi) Wenn wir Hops an einem Strang ziehen (Ju) könn’ Hater niemals Land sehen
(S & J) Halt sie offen deine Faust willst du mit in den Kampf ziehen
(Ju) Von Deutschland nach Korea, (Schowi) Asiaten, Europäer
(S & J) Absolut dynamisch und massiv, Mann wir sind ein Team
