Voice
Baek Ji Young feat Gary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(You're) talking good but there's nobody home
And I'm breathing it in
But I'm sure that I've heard it before somewhere
I'm alive with the need
And your welcome to this exhibition ''cause I'm feeding on me
Now there's far to many opinions here
Voices are calling again
Voices no one can see
Voices are welcome to me
And I've been here once before
I don't know why I'm here
But I'm going to take what I can
I don't know who to fight
I can't run so I'm turning on you again
I think I need a friend
I need someone inside with the news
I think I need to sleep
Now and maybe forever
The song "Voice" by Baek Ji Young feat Gary revolves around the singer's feelings of confusion and desperation. The lyrics begin with the observation that the person she is speaking to seems to be talking, but is not really saying anything of substance. Baek Ji Young is taking in what the other person is saying, but she believes that she has heard it all before. She mentions that she is alive with the need and seems to be seeking some sort of emotional or mental stimulation. The exhibition that she refers to might be the emotions that she is experiencing that are on display for all to see.
As the song progresses, Baek Ji Young's internal monologue starts to become more frazzled. She talks about the many voices that are calling out to her and how they are welcome to her. She seems to be looking for someone who can empathize with her and understand what she is going through. The line "I don't know who to fight" indicates that she feels lost and isn't entirely sure where she should direct her feelings of frustration. The lyrics end on a melancholic note with Baek Ji Young expressing a desire to sleep, possibly as a way to escape from the world and the various voices that are bombarding her.

If you listen to more Kpop rapping like BTS, BAP, or individual rappers in the groups, or K-Hip Hop rapping like Tablo, Drunken Tiger, Bizzy, Jay Park, Dok2, etc, try comparing their rapping to Gary's. Of course, everyone's a little different, but instead of the hardcore tough rapping you usually hear, Gary's rapping is very unique. He's not forcing himself. He sounds relaxed but focused at the same time. He's not yell-rapping. His voice is also unique. I find it very pleasant to hear :)

tofufication that is what differs gary oppa from other rappers..he raps with his heart while others rap without soul.

Holy shit this is good. I love how Gary's raps in the middle of songs are actually really well done, and not just a random rap placed in there.
