1999
G2 ft. GRAY Lyrics

Through the ups and downs, we stay together
Despite good times and bad, we stick together

May our troubles fade away for the better
Let's hope our problems improve

Life's a bish but I never regret her
Life can be tough, but I don't regret it

Coming back home when I'm feeling under pressure
Returning home when feeling stressed

미국으로 이민을 간 지 10년이 넘어
It's been over 10 years since we immigrated to the US

부모님의 American dream, 몇천 마일 바다를 건너
Our parents' American dream, crossing thousands of miles of ocean

어떻게든, 우리를 먹여 살리려고 했던 그 노력
Somehow, they tried their best to keep us alive

이 노래를 통해 난 그들을 위해 박수를 쳐, yeah
I applaud them through this song

1999, Chicago, Illinois
In 1999, in Chicago, Illinois

마냥 벙어리처럼 지냈던 시절, 가족들은 이미 지쳐 보여
When I was like a mute, my family already seemed tired

Oh no, had to deal with them school bullies
Oh no, I had to deal with school bullies

영어를 못하는 이유 땜에 이용을 당했던 우리
We were taken advantage of because we couldn't speak English

아직도 기억나, 사춘기 누나의 눈물이
I still remember my older sister's tears during puberty

시간을 되돌릴 수 있다면 I'd tie those bullies up
If I could turn back time, I'd tie up those bullies

And put 'em in a scary horror movie
And put them in a scary horror movie

But man, 그래도 고생 끝에 찾아낸 인생의 beauty
But, man, beauty has been found through hardship

그때와 비교하면 우리 진짜 멀리 왔지
Compared to then, we've come so far

멋도 모르고 눈치만 봤던 그땐 난 2학년짜리
I was just a second grader, not cool and clueless

하지만 보였어, 부모님의 stress 그리고 현실이란 칼이
But it was evident that my parents' stress and harsh reality were like knives

Please, stress no more, ma
Please, don't stress anymore, mom

이제는 나의 차례, 나만 믿고 따라와
Now it's my turn, follow only me

Through the ups and downs, yeah
Through good times and bad

We stay together
We stick together

더는 걱정 마
Don't worry anymore

It gets better
Things will get better

이젠 명확히 보여
Now it's clear

내 삶의 길이
The path of my life

내 가족들의 힘이
The strength of my family

돼줄게, 나만 믿으면 돼
I'll make it happen, just trust me

Chicago to Seattle, 드디어 집이라고 느낀 Texas
From Chicago to Seattle, finally felt at home in Texas

This for my Lewisville family that made my life worth something
This is for my Lewisville family who made my life meaningful

Witnessing a broken home, anxiety and depression
Seeing a broken home, anxiety, and depression

Yall are the reason somehow, I got through this bullsh
You are the reason, somehow, that I got through this bullshit

혼자 버려진 느낌, 뒤늦게 찾아온 사춘기
Feeling abandoned alone during adolescence

한 명씩 떠나며 시작된 내 구역질
My sickness started as people left, one by one

아버지가 싫어 방구석에 난 숨었지
I hated my father and hid in the corner

엄마가 보고 싶어, 의지할 수 있는 사람 한 명 없어
I missed my mother, with no one to rely on

환경 탓을 하는 내 자신이 미워, 가족이라 부를 수 있는 사람은 UGP
I hate myself blaming the environment, UGP is the only family I know

약 처먹음 뭐해, 대신 밥을 굶었지
What's the point of taking medicine, I'd rather go hungry

신까지 원망하던 나, 내가 어리석었어
I foolishly resented God

엄마, 아빠는 나보다 얼마나 아파했을까
I wonder how much my mom and dad suffered more than me

내가 더 열심히 살아야 했어
I should have lived harder

Its the only way to make them proud
It's the only way to make them proud

And I'll make yall proud
And I'll make you proud

L-Town, stand up, Texas, UGP, Hi-Lite
L-Town, stand up, Texas, UGP, Hi-Lite
