Back In Time
E SENS Lyrics

아침이면 풀 냄새나는 곳
I used to live in a place where I could smell the grass in the morning.

나의 고향 한시간 걸리는 시내를 부지런히 오갔지
I used to diligently travel an hour to the nearby city where I grew up.

밤에도 뜨거운 여름 여자들이 이뻐
Even in hot summer nights, girls looked beautiful.

예 난 살기 좋은데서 자랐지
I grew up in a nice place

정확히는 다 모르겠고 딱 붙는 그거 어 Baby Phat
I don't remember exactly, but I think they used to wear tight clothes like Baby Phat.

여튼 이뻤는데 이제 지난 유행이 됐네
They looked stylish back then, but now it's considered outdated.

노가다 판 이틀에 처음 가져본 Air One
I worked hard for two days to get my first Air One shoes.

짭퉁이지만 난 don't step on my J's 하는 식으로 걸어 꼭 젓가락질 같았어
Although my shoes were fake, I walked with pride, like using chopsticks.

삐쩍마른 애 하나 서울가서 뭐 한다던 걔 맞냐고 묻네
A skinny kid asked me what I was doing in Seoul.

Yep i'm him 거긴 늘 편해 많이 바뀌고
I'm the one they were talking about, and there's always a sense of comfort there despite changes.

자란 뒤에도 경산 촌놈 더 티 내 안 감추네
I'm still a country boy from Gyeongsan, and I can't hide it.

빡빡이 가짜 신발 침 발라서 닦던 애 난 90's kid 'Big Poppa' thru the 이어폰
I was a 90s kid who used to clean my fake shoes with toothbrush while listening to 'Big Poppa' through my earphones.

누나의 카세트에선 김건모 back in time in my mind
On my sister's cassette tape, there was Kim Gun-mo's 'Back In Time' and it always takes me back in time when I listen to it now.

take it back take it back 20 살쯤 부터 내가 그리던 미래는 편히 음악하는 아저씨
Take it back, take it back. When I was around 20, the future I imagined was me as an old man playing music.

난 꽉 차있는 스케쥴은 싫어해 근데 또 좋은 건 다 좋아했지
I don't like a busy schedule, but I like good things.

밥 먹을 때마다 두 끼 정도가 돈 얘기
Every time I eat, the talk is about how much two meals would cost.

내 상식은 사람들 전부 일하고 놀고 근데 해보니 일하고 일하고 또 또 또 시발 이건 절대 내 스타일이 아니지 fuck 구인구직
My common sense was that people work and play, but having experienced only work, work, and more work, it's not my style. Fuck job searching.

I'm doing music 예술로 살아 i'm an artist
I'm doing music. I live through art and I'm an artist.

빚쟁이 백수 공사판에선 늘 초짜
I used to be a rookie everywhere as a debt-laden unemployed worker on construction sites.

난 화가난 채로 채근하듯이 꿈을 쫓았지 그 느낌 어떤건지 알자마자 관두고 닥치고 음악 나보고
I chased my dreams with a sense of anger, like how Chae Keun-ha did it, but as soon as I found out what it feels like, I dropped everything and focused on music.

니 새끼는 싹수가 별로라던 니 새끼말 씹으며
I chewed on the words of those who said that you were not good enough.

난 앞만 봐 그 쯤부터 성격이 조금 변한 거 같다만 그 덕에 처음 구경해본 뒤로 6년째 돈 좀 만졌네 그 땐 그게 크다 느꼈네
I only look ahead now, so my personality has changed a bit since then, but since I saw it for the first time, I've been making some money for 6 years. At that time, I felt that was a big thing.

'Cash Rules Everything Around Me' 'Dreams of fucking an R and B bitch' 내 얘긴 EBS 엔 못 나오지 그 때 난 언제 올지도 확실하지 않은 버스를 타려고 미리나와 기다리며 발 구른건지도
'Cash Rules Everything Around Me' and 'Dreams of fucking an R and B bitch' are not the kind of stories you can tell on EBS. At that time, I didn't know when or if a bus would come, so I arrived early and walked while waiting.

벗어나는게 너무 힘들게 느껴지던 그 시기에 느낀 삶은 짧은 축제들과 긴 레슨 I'm nice with it yeah now let's take it back
During a time when it felt too hard to escape, I experienced life through short festivals and long lessons. Now I'm nice with it, so let's take it back.
