Prologue
King and the Clown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Threats flowing in oceans of hate infested waters I gotta go swim through
I gotta set a showing, blowing is the wind when I pinned phone
Watch the Throne zoned in the headphones, dead is the bread, don't know its known
In the whip, gripped the tip of tricks in the lifespan
Writing the night out to hide doubt, The bus stops at the building
I know I'm wielding this feeling of shielding my feelings
Tripped to flip a whole script of passion, action when them doors open
I walk through, and talk to few students, diss including them real brothers
Know the real suffer, the fake thrive, the devils at level with snake eyes
I see her live on the side of the mind that I'm designed with, hard is thy bricks
In them long hallways, songs always cause craze in my tall gaze
Became one with the sun to shine light in these dark rooms
Tombs in dunes that are filled with dead children who say "we'll win"
Fields in the dirt full of hurt, turnt to the right path last when I was left first
I was left for dead, but it's too far to turn back now, so I have to get at it now
A combative sound is the regular, see the predators and how they register
And how they go along little merry ways, see abrasion in nations
Yet I face it, can't replace this, now I'm walking over to my locker
I gotta stay locked in before I go to class
The mass does facts when it comes to judging people
Prologue, know I go along with the way life may break me or take me
Prologue, know I go along with the way life may break me or take me
Or make me

Line by Line Meaning
You see, one could question the motive of any man
It is possible to doubt the intentions of any person
Most of the time it resorts to inner self-worth
Often, these motives arise from a person's sense of their own value
But on the other hand it could be viewed as selfishness or selflessness
Alternatively, these motives can be seen as either selfish or selfless
'Cause you know at the end of the day it's all about survival and helplessness
Ultimately, these motives stem from the need to survive in a helpless world
I've heard it verbally referred to as rock bottom, end of the road
Some people call this state 'rock bottom', the lowest point in life
Or whatever you chose, who knows
Or perhaps it can be described differently, as it varies from person to person
It's dark times
These are difficult and challenging times
My dark mind is combined with dark lies
My gloomy thoughts are intertwined with deceitful falsehoods
From living inside of a room the size of nothing
Existing in a minuscule room without any real substance or meaning
Three boys and one mom, no dad
Growing up with three sons and a mother, without a father figure
Just a word that I was never really used to using or was really not part of my vocab
The concept of having a father was unfamiliar and not part of my vocabulary
I'd imagine during that era I was highly protected from crime
I assume that in that time period, I was shielded from criminal activities
Some kind of light of mine, angel in disguise
Perhaps there was a guiding presence, an angel in disguise, in my life
Felt like eternity, probability was high
Those moments felt like an eternal struggle, with a high likelihood of hardship
That I wanted to cry, but I
I felt the urge to cry, yet I
I feel alone most of the time
Most of the time, I experience a sense of loneliness
Even though I stay surrounded most of this pride
Despite being surrounded by people most of the time, I still feel isolated
Never really had a normal school life
I never experienced a typical or ordinary school life
I kind of bounced around every once in a while
I frequently moved from place to place
'Til I realized I was having a child
Until the moment I realized I was becoming a parent
When I actually was a child, and still
At a time when I myself was still a child
Well that was dark too
That situation was also difficult and challenging
I've seen a lot a good though
Nevertheless, I have witnessed many positive things
Like, it's good to know what not to do as a parent
It is beneficial to learn from the mistakes of others when it comes to parenting
I know a few that are embarrassed to even pick up the phone
I am acquainted with individuals who feel ashamed to answer phone calls
They don't really care but
These individuals do not truly care, but
Fuck you
I hold resentment towards them
Having to hold a seven-year-old inside of your arms
Being tasked with embracing a seven-year-old child
Having her life letting go, both of her parents looking to you
Witnessing her life slipping away, and her parents relying on your support
But you're still in training and don't really know what to do
Yet, you are still learning and unsure of how to handle the situation
And the effects of her death are too unbearable for anybody to cope
The consequences of her death are too overwhelming for anyone to handle
So you are told to move her below to the bottom floor
The instruction is given to take her body downstairs, to the lowest level
'Cause that's where they go when they
Because that is where deceased individuals are placed when they
Yea
Yes
Suffer through drug addiction
Endure the pain of drug addiction
Fuck spittin', my bloods itching
To hell with rapping, my blood is craving drugs
I'm better off being cuffed, prisoned
Perhaps being imprisoned and confined would be more favorable than this
Off with him, God willing
He should be eliminated, if God permits
I kill 'em, calm isn't
I would kill them, but there is no calmness within me
My demeanor, autism, is all in him
My behavior, influenced by autism, defines who I am
Big mouth, all bite
I have a lot to say, but I back it up with action
We are Venom
Together, we are fierce and powerful
Yea, pretty dark
Yes, quite grim
Please, it's pretty easy to bring the noise to me
Please, it is effortless to provoke a reaction from me
And it's easy to bring them boys defeat
It is a simple task to defeat those who challenge me
But it's annoying me
However, it irritates me
'Cause every one of these so called OG's are looking for so cold beasts
Because each of these self-proclaimed 'original gangsters' desire absolute dominance
And lyrical murderers setting this shit a blaze
And highly skilled rappers causing a stir with their powerful lyrics
And roasting the whole streets, fuck them
And mocking the entire neighborhood, to hell with them
What's wrong with a mumble rapper
What is the issue with a rapper who slurs their words
I'm actually asking
I genuinely want to know
Music is music, passion is passion
Music is music, and passion is passion
Why hate, get with the times
Why be critical? Adapt to the current trends
Shit is evolving like a chimp in the line
Things are changing rapidly, like the evolution of a primate species
A science book only defines that
The evidence in a science book clearly shows that
Evolution is constantly moving and constantly using the constellation
Evolution is continuously progressing and utilizing the arrangement of stars
As obvious blueprints to shape the future
As evident guidelines to mold what lies ahead
Man, that's darker than dark times
That concept is even bleaker than the already gloomy times
I'm here to make America great again, prepare bombs
My intention is to restore greatness to America, even if it requires destructive actions
Give me a clearance, prepare launch
Grant me authorization, get ready for the missile launch
You fucked up like heron
You made a mistake, similar to being addicted to heroin
Try to strip away my right to bear arms
Attempting to deprive me of my right to possess firearms
They're wrong, thinking they're making a fair call but they're off
Their belief that they are making a just decision is incorrect, they are mistaken
They ain't thinking at all, brains froze like cere' palse
They are not thinking clearly at all, their minds are frozen like cerebral palsy
I'm in need of a Doc, sterile gauze and a pair of balls
I require a Doctor, sterile medical supplies, and courage
To grip it, I'm gripping the game with these bare palms
To seize it firmly, I am dominating the music industry with my own hands
And when I say bare, I don't mean empty
And when I say bare, I don't mean devoid of substance
I mean it's as big as bear paw
I mean it is as substantial as a large bear's paw
I swear Lord, I am not cut from their cloth
I solemnly swear, I am not similar to them in any way
So elusive, I'm infused with bipolar confusion
I am incredibly elusive, my mind is filled with contradictory thoughts
My music is quite soothing and my views are misconstrued
My music provides comfort, although people misunderstand my beliefs
I use it as tool to influence myself to do shit
I employ it as a tool to motivate myself to take action
A letter mechanic whose rhetoric's damaged
A skilled wordsmith whose persuasive language is flawed
Never demanded but yet I understand
I am never explicitly asked, but I still comprehend
That respect isn't granted unless I stretch my bandwidth
Respect is not given unless I push myself beyond my limits
And exceed the standard of everything standing
And surpass the expectations in every aspect of life
And in that case, I need Ketamine handed
In that situation, I require Ketamine to be given to me
So I can even the playing field, and level the canvas
To create a fair competition, and restore balance to the situation
And splatter my head all over the melody given
And express my thoughts passionately through the given musical composition
I'm in development never will I ever be willing to give up
I am constantly evolving, and I will never be willing to surrender
Or settle for nothing lesser or greater
I will not accept anything inferior or superior
I'm deadlier than ever, you better not pretend to be a competitor
I am more powerful and dangerous than ever before, so don't claim to be my rival
Shredding 'em effortlessly, I'm pedaling harder than ever
I am tearing them apart with ease, exerting more effort than ever before
To be remembered
To ensure that my legacy lives on

비교적 어린 나이에 극장에서 봤는데도 연산군을 포함한 광대들의 아픔이 절절히 느껴졌던 것이 생생히 기억남.
영화 끝나고도 끝까지 앉아계신 중년의 관객분들이 인상적이었음..

This movie has left such an impression on me. Lee jun ki - the main actor did such a good job conveying that palpable beautiful sorrow feelings of the Clown that together with the excellence of the staff have successfully pushed viewers to the edge of sadness throughout each and every single scene

Whenever I heard this and the epilogue variation, it just made me happy that the scenes were so fitting. This soundtrack and the movie are as perfect together as bread and butter.
