Predator
ZICO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ya, I'll spit on ya like a King Cobra
한량들아 토껴
나는 백수 포비아
자라날 새싹도 꿀꺽 삼켜 몸 보양
Started from 듣보잡
But 쏜살같이 정상
너가 피쳐링 한 곡
나한테 까이구 간거
내 동생 바비 잘 들어
산 넘어 산이란거
시댄 변하고 가요계엔
Z와 나머지로 나뉘어
메이저 마이너 넘나들어
내 코드는 어디든 맞아

Eh 별 점 같은걸 왜줘
난 스타 반열에 오른 지 오래 전
Rise of the legend
경고했어 내 팬들 향해서
빠순이라 나불대면 뒈져
작업은 마치
아기 재울 때 밤새우네
난 조각 잠이 더 개운해
Damn yeah 인정 안 하면 더 괴롭네
공개연애
원래 게임 할 때는 unfair play, eh

What's my name 시청자들의 머리 속에
내 무늬를 아로새겨
강한 정체성이 뿜는 치명적인 매력
약육강식의 법칙은 잠든 본능을 일깨워
전부 아랫도리 사타구니에 방뇨 안하곤 못 배겨
두 포식자는 각자의 구역
먹이사슬의 최상위
상대를 씹어 삼키는 날카로운 발톱 갈퀴
한국힙합 땅 위에 그 약아빠진
네 방식 따윈 다 찢어
갈기갈기갈기

Uh 제발 반듯함을 강요 마
난 삐딱선 타야만 말발이 잘서
Problem child
못다 핀 꽃 한송아
피가 겁나면 아서라
남 과거사만 파지 말고
독창적인 삶을 살아
내 혀는 구슬땀 흘리며 춤사위 벌이는 중
넌 엉거주춤 어색한 비유와
조잡한 낱말로 조지는 groove
So what you gon' do
내 업무 율은 무중력 안 떨어져 연중무휴
괄호 열고 밑줄
난 요주의 인물
우지호 같은 새낀 전무후무

난 변태라서 맨날 전쟁 통에 컴백해
누군 쫄려서 빈집 털이 타이밍 러쉬해
허섭스레기
알맹이 없는 껍데기
네 손익분기점은 나처럼 넘사벽 됐지
Feel me, it's real me
총각 귀들 딱지 떼어내
Sex appeal 어딜 감히 내게 대양해
백기 게양해
꼬꼬마들은 은폐 엄폐해

What's my name 시청자들의 머리 속에
내 무늬를 아로새겨
강한 정체성이 뿜는 치명적인 매력
약육강식의 법칙은 잠든 본능을 일깨워
전부 아랫도리 사타구니에
방뇨 안하곤 못 배겨
두 포식자는 각자의 구역
먹이사슬의 최상위
상대를 씹어 삼키는 날카로운 발톱 갈퀴
한국힙합 땅 위에 그 약아빠진
네 방식 따윈 다 찢어
갈기갈기갈기

Ya ya woo
When I be on the mic
내 밑으로 다
귀 기울여 자 오늘 지아코 말씀 깝치지 말지어다
내가 뒤지길 바란들 댁들이 먹인 욕이 날
장수할 팔자로 만들어서 I have eternal life

고작 왕 돼보자고 내가 이 난리겠냐
What you talkin' about
내 성이 임금우다 새꺄




내 문장엔 날이 바짝 서있어
내 앨범퀄처럼 끝내줄게 네 커리어

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zico/Jtong's song "Predator" are full of bravado and confidence. The first lines of the first verse show the singer's aggression, comparing themselves to a king cobra ready to attack. The phrase "한량들아 토껴" roughly translates to "get lost, losers," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer then describes themselves as a "백수 포비아," which means someone who is unemployed and living off their body. They then reveal that they started as a nobody, but quickly rose to the top thanks to their talent. They even call out their collaborator, saying that they were honored to work with them.


Moving on to the second verse, the singer emphasizes the importance of their identity and the impact they have on their fans. They warn their fans about the consequences of crossing them, saying that they won't hesitate to strike back. They then describe how they operate outside of the rules of the music industry, comparing it to "unfair play." The third verse continues this theme, with the singer declaring themselves a "problem child" and telling others to focus on their own lives instead of being obsessed with the past.


The chorus repeats the hook, "What's my name, 내 무늬를 아로새겨," which means "engrave my image in your mind." The singer describes themselves and the other top rappers in Korea as predators, using vivid imagery like "sharp claws" and "top of the food chain." They acknowledge their own deviant behavior and express a desire to go against the norms of society.


Overall, the lyrics to "Predator" showcase Zico and Jtong's confidence and dominance, as well as their unique approaches to creating music and living their lives.
