路上に立ち尽くした売人
全ての奴にいつか rising
掴め一筋の光 let's go!
ダメだ もういい 誰かkill me
行けど散々 クソなルーティン
(Hold on, wait a minute)
またこぼれる誰かの涙
立ちな homie
Only god can judge me
Ready, set, go (let's go!)
死ぬ程生きりゃいーぜ ay yo
アメ車の整備のシノギはわずか
憧れた bonifide hustla
団地でちゃっちー売人
気取り落ちてくこのカルマ
こんなはずじゃ どんなはずだ
浮かばれねぇガラクタ
今月家賃も払えず借金
もう目一杯のキャッシング
そりゃ愛想尽かす女
Let's get it on 狼煙上げろ
つっても金はねぇバーロー
浴びるてクエルボ
有り金はたくてclub
俺にいつかkingdom come
ダメだ もういい 誰かkill me
行けど散々 クソなルーティン
(Hold on, wait a minute)
またこぼれる誰かの涙
ひとつだけいい?
立ちな homie
Only god can judge me
Ready, set, go (let's go!)
死ぬ程生きりゃいーぜ ay yo
現場に向かうボロいハイエース
憂鬱な気分さ大抵
みんな無口で煙草吹かし
繰り返す日々に泣いて
電車に揺られるサラリーマン
いつになりゃ乗れる beema
事業でこけたあそこの社長
近所では笑いの的
ストレス 挫折 抱える苦労
でも平等にチャンスは到来
モノにする時間これは膨大
ダメでもともと結果オーライ
テメーの人生二度ともう無い
ダメだ もういい 誰かkill me
行けど散々 クソなルーティン
(Hold on, wait a minute)
またこぼれる誰かの涙
ひとつだけいい?
立ちな homie
Only god can judge me
Ready, set, go (let's go!)
死ぬ程生きりゃいーぜ ay yo
つまり己の名誉
その栄光 伊達じゃねぇよ
投げ出すならば最後
Only god can judge me
どこにでもない音色
その才能 伊達じゃねぇよ
まだ照らしてる街光
Only god can judge me
うまくいかねぇパターンがほとんど
でもえーがや 痛えのは少々
行くぞ let's go
もう一度賭けにでるて it's on
ダメだ もういい 誰か kill me
行けど散々 クソなルーティン
(Hold on, wait a minute)
またこぼれる誰かの涙
ひとつだけいい?
立ちな homie
Only god can judge me
Ready, set, go (let's go!)
死ぬ程生きりゃいーぜ ay yo
AK-69's Only God Can Judge Me is a song that speaks about the struggles of life as a creative artist, a drug dealer, a slick hustler, and even a salaryman. The lyrics depict the hard life on the streets, with drug dealers standing at street corners waiting to make a sale, and talented but struggling artists trying to make it in the music industry. In the midst of the harsh realities, the song urges listeners to hold on to hope and keep fighting for their dreams, despite the tough circumstances.
The lyrics start with a line that mentions "MC's" who have not yet made it in the music industry. The next phrase talks about drug dealers who are standing still on the streets. The song speaks to people with dreams, telling them that "all of you guys will rise someday" and that they should keep holding on to hope. AK-69 talks about the difficulties that people go through in life, from the monthly payment of rent to the struggles of making it in the music industry. The chorus repeats the phrase "Only God can judge me," bringing hope to listeners that one day their efforts will pay off.
The song also touches on issues of karma and the idea that everything that happens is a result of the choices we make. AK-69 sings about how things may not always go according to plan, but sometimes we have to make the best of a situation. The lyrics mention that even while struggling, we must not lose our integrity because our self-worth is not determined by our circumstances. The song ends with the message that we can all work hard to achieve our dreams, and even in tough times, we must hold on to faith and believe that everything will work out for the best.
