After appearing in several popular collaborations, in 2010, he released his official debut digital single, "Turn It Up". In addition to rapping, T.O.P is talented in beat-boxing.
YG's staff calls him Keun Seung Hyun, meaning Big Seung Hyun, to distinguish between the two BIG BANG members named Seung Hyun. Before joining BIG BANG, he performed in clubs and even won KBS Radio's "Rap Battle" in 2003 under the stage moniker of Tempo.
As if Nothing's Wrong
T.O.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reckless and wild living life on the run
Living between fairytales and dreams
Just one wrong turn and it's nightmares and screams
You can look like a woman if you play fast and wild
When things go wrong you will break like a child
You know I wouldn't be singing this song
If dreams came true and nothing went wrong
Two young girls thinking life will be free
Far from the rain and responsibility
Head for the sun, romance and dreams
Say goodbye to childhood life's about to get mean
When you hang out with dealers, cold hearted stealers
Sometimes you feel like 'no one here can beat us'
But you know I wouldn't be singing this song
If dreams came true and nothing went wrong
One found peace and a sweet, sweet lover
One felt rejected, found a dangerous other
Disillusion, obsession, jealousy and pain
Domination, transgression, dangerous games
Short term lovers, the beach and the sun
Take away the edge for two hearts on the run
New friends and lovers keep you clear for a time
But the road keeps calling to a restless mind
Drive across the desert but somethings not right
Whispered voices singing 'someone dies tonight'
And you know I wouldn't be singing this song
If dreams came true and nothing went wrong
Dark drugs, strong booze and dangerous men
It's a deadly combination when you hit that bend
Two girls riding high in the back of a car
And in between the boy who had gone too far
It's a dangerous game playing for high stakes
One wrong decision is all it takes
You know you're not guilty when a young boy dies
The judge says 'put away that arrogant eye'
'I can't find you guilty for what you did'
But you won't ever feel right and you can't keep that hid'
You know I wouldn't be singing this song
If dreams came true, if nothing went wrong
If nothing went wrong
The lyrics to T.O.P's song As if Nothing's Wrong tell the story of two young girls seeking escape from their mundane lives and the perils they face as they indulge in risky behaviors in the pursuit of a carefree lifestyle. The first verse highlights their carefree spirit as they engage in reckless behavior underscored by their dreams and fantasies. However, the danger that lurks just beneath the surface is further depicted in the lines "Just one wrong turn and it's nightmares and screams. You can look like a woman if you play fast and wild. When things go wrong you will break like a child," which suggests the inevitable consequences of their choices.
The second verse continues the narrative, revealing that the girls seek validation through indulgence in drugs, fast living, and the pursuit of romance. Their efforts to escape reality lead them down the path of disillusionment and exposure to the more dangerous side of life as they encounter dealers and cold-hearted stealers. The lyrics warn that these risks eventually lead to heartache, disappointment, and pain. They seek out new friends and lovers to evade their reality, but the road continually calls to their restless nature.
The chorus 'If dreams came true, if nothing went wrong' repeats, underscoring the gamble of trying to obtain their desires without the cost of making decisions that can have life-changing ramifications. Ultimately, their experiences include disillusionment, obsession, jealousy, domination, and transgression that end tragically with one boy losing his life. As the song ends, the singer acknowledges that he would not sing this song if nothing ever went wrong, an indication that life's lessons come with consequences.

You might be cleared legally, but the guilt will always stay with you
If dreams came true, if nothing went wrong
The irony of the story is that if everything went well, the song wouldn't exist as a warning story

I love this song and used to wonder why the beat was so familiar. The intro and the production is very similar to "I Know What You Want" by Busta Rhymes.
Both are great songs and include a female feature
