I am
IRON Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohhoohohoo

Am I a good man?
Am I a fool, am'I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me
Or am I just playing it cool
I have a woman
And I know shes no good
Still hold my head up high tryi'n to do the things a good man should
Does it make me a good man?
Am I good man?
Am I a fool, am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me
Or am I just playin' it cool
Shes has made, well, my whole life a mess
Still on the words staying by for love so she can always have the very best
Does that make me a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a fool, am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me
Or am I just playin' it cool
The best of her love she gives to someone else
Still before I hurt the little girl I would rather hurt myself
Does it make me a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a fool, am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me
Or am I just playin' it cool
She has made my whole life a mess
But still I work day and night for her so she can always have the very best
Does that make me a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a fool, am I a fool?
Am I weak?
Somebody tell me
Or am I just playin' it cool
Does that make me a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a good man?
Am I a good man?

[Intro]
All my haters, fans, 평론가, listeners
I know I got no fuckin' 이력
갑툭튀한 듣보잡 놈이
깨부셔 네 career, I see, follow me
다 실력보단 키워 인맥
살, 뼈는 없어, 가사엔 온통 다 비계
내 무대 장치는 오직 내 손에 mic
진짜 rap을 보여줄게 아이언이
Ay, drop the beat, uh

[Verse]
Yeah, it's the 'I', rep in 광주 now you know?
어디서도 못 봤지 미친놈의 미친 flow
또 넌 깔 생각만 하겠지 내 발음만
But 난 일부러 씹어대 더 It's YDG style
난 적토마 위의 선봉, YG를 토막 낸 후 소포로
칭칭 감아 버리는 rap에 네 fan이 더 흥분해 make you 폭포
부릉 부릉 부릉 난 달려, 내 단련의 막, 힙합을 제일 먼저로
장르 도장 깨는 래퍼, rap 최배달, 내가 대표로
Hard carry해, 내 crew 대남협 and 개미굴
난 김안순 여사 아들, 내 가족과 친구
TV로 봐라, 늘 고마운 내 팬들 자랑스럽게
이젠 아이언이 너의 이거라 자랑해도 돼
안될 놈이 될 놈에서 된 놈이 됐고
니들은 그저 구차히 살아남는 게 목표
난 Vasco형 한번 잡고 갈래
B.I, Olltii는 what? who the fuck is that?
Out of 안중, 내 발음만 중요해
내 유일한 단점 "발음 안 좋네"
허나 Olltii, B.I 굳이 비하 하자면 나보다 발음만 좋네
This is my fuckin tongue technic
My bitches how do you feel?
난 후배 위한 자세로 승리, 네 목을 죄는 내 skill
다들 바-바-바-박자를 나 같이 가지고 노는 놈 본 적 있냐고
내가 여기서 최고라 말하는 게 이걸 보고도 자뻑이냐고
Fuck TV, fuck the 심의, fuck up, 단지 뜨기 위한 under rappers
다 삐처리 해라, 나는 featuring 따윈 없어 내 삶은 다 self여
Rap이 내 빽, this program? 내 존재 자체가 반칙
아이언의 첫 제물은 가족 같은 YG

[Bridge]
Who's the top of the rappers?
Who's the top of the reggae?
Who's the top of the stars?
Who's the top of Korea?
Who's the top, who's the top?
Who's the top, who's the top?
Who's the top, who's the top?
Who's the top, who's the top
Who's the top? me!

[Outro]
끝난 줄 알았지, 내가 뭘 할른지 you never know my plan
듣보잡 하나가 파급하는 판의 이변에 bang your brain
Show Me The Money에서 내 무대는 just a my fuckin' teaser
아이언은 합법적인 일진, 네 주머니처럼 뒤져

쇼미더머니 시즌이 9까지 진행되었음에도 불구하고, 이 음원을 능가하는 곡은 나오지 않았다. 악마의 재능. 그의 인생이 얼마나 힘들고 고되었을지 이해를 해보려고 노력해본다. 모쪼록 저세상에서는 행복하길. 삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다.

Beatz Collection

인생이 거지같아야 이런 곡이 나옴 진짜로.... 너무 아쉽다

A. S

his voice kills me. IRON slayed the stage. I like BI staged but i mean c'mon when IRON raps its like a crazy man he gets lost in it and i love it! his voice is so unique man if he has to leave this show is bogus. IRON FOR THE WIN SLAY THEM!!

A. S

Visibly Allan i mean for everyone is different. when it comes to rap and aura i like rappers like IRON.  B.I wasn't bad at all I just prefer an angry rap, with a husky voice.

Red

Visibly Allan You can feel BI's greater stage presence because the crowd goes wild with him.. and that's because he is famous. :) 

A. S

Visibly Allan I agree with you totally is see what you are coming from. True, B.I admitted that he is an idol and he told everyone straight on the troubles that he has been getting since he is from YG. Yes he got the crowd with him, but im my opinion he was good and yes everyone including the people on the show know that he is popular because he has tons of fan girls who watched WIN. This plays a BIG part because when he misses lyrics completely he always places on the top due to votes from his fans and even tablo gets mad at that. I am not sure if you watch the show or not but on a previous round he dissed by saying if you are coming to diss him you better have more money than is agency YG.  My whole point is I feel like IRON is not an amatur when it comes to rapping. YA true the crowd wasn't jumping up and down like they did with B.I  but as a rapper IRON has that potential.  it's not like BI has been rapping good at all anyways during the last rounds, yes he has balls, but his performance was the best one he had done. I agree with you on what you said he does have potential and he has stage presence, just to me when it comes to actual underground music, and raw rapping i prefer it from rappers like IRON not because he isn't an idol because i just prefer his style more. I dont want to come across as rude or hard headed, but they were both good just in my eyes IRON slayed it and in your eyes B.I did better it just really comes down to what kind of person you are when it comes to music, and performance.

와 .. ㄷㄷ 음원은 지리는데
