it hasn't been that many years since I started saying I'd do music
I tried to do well making music in Daegu, being the principal
of a music academy or something, those kinds of thoughts hit me
at any rate I only live life once, I'd better try to be number one
the number one I couldn't achieve through study
it seemed like I'd earn it through music, around me ten to one said
this moron is suffering from bullshit disease again
dickhead, you look well, you guys have lost
anyway I tried to do music in a little more style, first thinking I'd better get out of Daegu
the powerful footsteps of this pimply high schooler fade out in front of one audition poster
it said it was a rap festival held by Bang Sihyuk
if it's Bang Sihyuk then it's that, ah, Baek Jiyoung, ah,
the person, no, hyungnim who wrote Like Being Hit By A Bullet
so I ended up going out in that festival with my crew hyungs
first, if we wanted to make it to the finals we had to pass the preliminaries
okay, that much is just rice*, whatever
after plowing through the beat they told us to rap over
we started to edit, look, some kid
we'll do it like this
if you were me would you do it like this?
I'm talking about that company, huh?
they're gonna say they hate this genius
from the company's position this luck came
this vague believe, that was the sight of my success
I'm saying this since it's all in the past, but the day after the preliminaries
a phone call came, the area code number was 02
November 7, 2011, my entry into Seoul
Gyeongnam has nothing, the forestallment of this Daegu country boy
that evening I paid coolly for everyone
what the fuck, when we calculated my eyes almost fell out
one month's living expenses were barely 30, shit
I knew what it was like to live with far from enough
the graveyard shift part-time job I started, uh
because of that the time I went to school was always different
if I went to school all the kids came from rich families
they spent many times my monthly living expenses just on alcohol
and fuck, what, what? you say you don't have any money
shut the fuck up, assholes, shut your fucking mouths
was I needy for success? No just needy for money
it'd been a long time since I forgot the words 'in style'
I practiced at night and went to my part time job at dawn
then even if I dragged that tired body to school I just slept
I became 20 that way, the sight of the graduation room was suspicious
those assholes who cast their dice on staying up all night? they turned on imported cars for their graduation gifts, I was kinda jealous of that
I was jealous, but the world isn't fair
I knew that beforehand but when you have fifteen people living in a two-room
about fifteen pyeong* wide
who turns on an imported car right after graduating?
okay okay okay you just watch
leave those questions about whether I'll debut
see me after one year, asshole, see what I'm doing
I'll be that savior, you'll see the TV and call me
* one pyeong is about 35 square feet; the average one-room studio apartment is about 12 pyeong.
