Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
어차피 본질은 아이돌 쉿이라며 날 무시해
줏대 따위는 개주고 내 이름을 비웃지
물타기와 무시밖에 모르는 니들이, how you kill me?
So I bring the monster back, my monster swag
So this is the monster track 'cause of my freaking Monster Rap
현대판 홍길동들, 좋은 걸 보고도 좋다고 못해
3세대 리더 so I'ma lead ya 이건 세대교체
Poppin 'em, rockin 'em, stoppin 'em, blockin 'em, like the Cassius' lance
I'ma don, 비트 끄지마 because I'm not freakin' done
비트 위에선 까불지마 'cause every kick is my freaking zone
난 원래 관대해 but now I'ma murder your rappers
차례대로 썰어버리고 then I'ma murder you haters
자 이제 날 봐, 그리고 말해봐 누가 니 top five?
랩몬스터, 란다, 리다, 랩몬, 니 아빠 (아빠) ya
지금은 Hope World, from BTS
전부 날 follow 내 가능성은 리트윗돼
모두에게 알려 내 flow, 고막을 타고 니 몸을 채워
칼을 갈았어, 내일을 위해 get back in the days
나이도 나이고, 라임도 몰랐던 아이고
그저 아이돌 바라본 광주의 흔한 아이였던 나
그래 이젠 보여줄게 이 트랙 위 Cypher에서
내 포부를 밝혀 I'm above the minors
그래 너완 다른 메이저 uh TV screen을 난 채워 uh
래퍼 코스튬? No 거품을 거두고 내뱉어
내가 원하던 것을, 난 지금 어딜 가도 이슈감
배가 아프면 병원 가 전치 2주감
내 패배를 바랬던 사람들 다 뒷목을 잡지
힙부심 판치는 게임 위 J-Hope은 반칙
난 미필 but 취미는 저격
We are bulletproof로 한방을 먹였지
어설픈 가짜들은 찔려 반응하지
좀더 열폭 해봐라 내 발음화질은 4K
I'm dope man 난 비트 위에선 쇼팽
난 절대 안 변해 태어날 때부터 난 모태
Born rapper, my attitude는 내 멘토
니들이 씹고 물어 뜯어도 난 메멘토
힙부심 부려봐 내게 느끼는 무력감
질투심 숨겨라 니 아이피 다 보일라
난 보일러 순식간에 hot해졌지
스포일러처럼 너는 안 봐도 뻔해졌지
속절 없이 멍청한 힙찌질일 고쳐놨지
근본 없이 커져간 이 가요곈 공존하기엔
빡세 그러니 랩은 취미로 해
말세야 말세, 찔리면 노력해 what (what, what, what)
