(Quater billion is ? money, goin' crazy)
Yah
I don't really fuck with mind
Guessing and assumptions (never, at all)
I don't do it for money
And I don't do it for nothing
One thing
That's for certain no matter what happens
I keep it bumping (we keep it bumpin' no matter what)
All night
Lookin' clean on the camera
Well, deep inside corrupted facts
행복하길 미안해 감추던 서울시
Everybody ackin' smart and big, feelin' souless
말 삐꼬우지, 똥씹은 표정으로 저울질
More money, more problems
Nobody seems to learn and solve this
Holdin' back, avoiding facts
Ain't fixing nothing
Facts I want somethin'
That's infinite gold and plaques
Nah, more than that
Some really think them finer things
Could find the missing parts
Wishing on a superstars with empty hearts
Never honoring
But, talk full of thank yous
Fake, I heard that too many times
I can't thank you
Thanks, huh
Been there and done that
I really mean that
Since way back I been makin' history
Yeah, had to realign with all of my chakras yeah
I don't need doctors, I just eat proper
Selective with my circle, the whole team masters
My scheduler is packed, yeah, my whole week bonkers
'Cause my mind, street knowledge, wisdom and Ebonics
Cocain whites, I know you can eat off it
Feelin' like a vet, used to flow off a beat boxin'
If anything falls, I know that the streets got me
Used to pop mollies and pop allies to Uzi Alley
Learned to shut it down when the coochie call me
'Cause there can share the dreams like that Poogie hunt me
It's about this plan, only few will know it
I'm more than the people's poet, I fuckin' know it
There's no way all these words will ever go unnoticed
Only good intent, that's the fuckin' motive
Only good intent, that's the fuckin' motive
I don't really fuck with mind
Guessing and assumptions (never, at all)
I don't do it for money
And I don't do it for nothing
(I don't do it for money and I don't do it for nothing)
One thing
That's for certain no matter what happens
I keep it bumping (we keep it bumpin' no matter what)
All night
Lookin' clean on the camera
Well, deep inside, corrupted facts
I don't really fuck with mind
Guessing and assumptions
I don't do it for money
And I don't do it for nothing
One thing
That's for certain no matter what happens
I keep it bumping
All night
Lookin' clean on the camera
Well, deep inside corrupted facts
Everybody being real fake, it's looks real now
Still not used to it
Why I gotta feel like I did some wrong and I owe you
Do you know me?
Do I know you?
You go with respect or being loyal
Soil to the sky must forgot
How they did it too far from the meanings
Spinnin' round I ain't with it
Winning is the goal but, I don't wanna compete
Dreaming with a bold decisions
I just wanted to live
No pressure, 자유롭게 어디든지
머리나 식히며 사는거지
Man, fuck what they think?
Got my third eye open fully activated
Thought I told you already
I do it
But, do no "Maybes"
I don't really fuck with mind
Guessing and assumptions (never, at all)
I don't do it for money
And I don't do it for nothing
(I don't do it for money and I don't do it for nothing)
One thing
That's for certain no matter what happens
I keep it bumping (we keep it bumpin' no matter what)
All night
Lookin' clean on the camera
In deep inside, corrupted facts
Yeah, all-in, all-in
Now I'm feelin' that all day, all day
I can get hear the money callin', callin'
And you don't wanna fall in
Fall in, yeah, yeah, yeah
All-in, all-in
Now I'm feelin' like I'm ballin', ballin'
I can get hear the money callin', callin'
And you don't wanna fall in
Fall in your money
The lyrics to "IV" by ii touch on a few different themes, including materialism, staying true to oneself, and the dichotomy of outward appearances versus internal reality. The song starts off with a reference to Los Angeles, implying that the singer is in the city and asking if the listener is there too. The line "Quarter billion is ? money, goin' crazy" suggests that having a large sum of money can drive someone to madness.
The first verse expresses a disdain for guesswork and assumptions, emphasizing that the singer doesn't do things for money or for nothing. They assert that they keep things exciting and vibrant no matter what happens. The mention of "corrupted facts" alludes to a hidden unhappiness in the city of Seoul, which is being concealed. The second verse continues the theme of money and problems, suggesting that no one seems to learn from this cycle. The singer wants something more than just money and fame, believing that the finer things cannot fulfill the missing parts in their life. They express frustration with fake gratitude and a longing for genuine connections.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't engage with the mind or make assumptions, highlighting their disregard for superficiality. They reiterate that they don't do it for money or nothing, emphasizing their commitment to keeping things energetic and alive. The bridge delves into authenticity and loyalty, expressing confusion about fake relationships and wondering if the listener knows the singer or vice versa.
The final verse reflects on the pressure to conform and the desire for freedom. The singer asserts their independence and determination, stating that they don't care what others think. They mention their third eye being fully activated, indicating a heightened sense of awareness and intuition. The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's commitment to authenticity despite the corrupted facts that may exist beneath the surface.

Throughout the entire night
Lookin' clean on the camera
Appearing polished and perfect on camera

But behind the scenes, there are hidden lies and deceit
행복하길 미안해 감추던 서울시
City of Seoul, concealing apology for wishing happiness
Everybody ackin' smart and big, feelin' souless

My scheduler is packed, yeah, my whole week bonkers
My schedule is filled to the brim, my entire week is hectic
'Cause my mind, street knowledge, wisdom and Ebonics
Because of my intellect, street smarts, wisdom, and slang language
Cocain whites, I know you can eat off it
Pure white substances, suggesting power and wealth
Feelin' like a vet, used to flow off a beat boxin'
Feeling like a seasoned professional, accustomed to freestyle rap
If anything falls, I know that the streets got me
If anything goes wrong, I trust that the streets will support me
Used to pop mollies and pop allies to Uzi Alley
I used to consume drugs and hang out with dangerous individuals in Uzi Alley
Learned to shut it down when the coochie call me
Learned to stop all activities when I'm being sought after for sexual encounters
'Cause there can share the dreams like that Poogie hunt me
Because there they can pursue dreams similar to how Poogie hunts me
It's about this plan, only few will know it
It's about this secret plan that only a few will be aware of
I'm more than the people's poet, I fuckin' know it
I have a greater role and purpose than just being a poet, and I'm fully aware of it
There's no way all these words will ever go unnoticed
There's no way all these words will be ignored or overlooked
Only good intent, that's the fuckin' motive
My only intention is goodness, that's my driving force
Yeah, all-in, all-in
Yeah, fully committed, fully committed
Now I'm feelin' that all day, all day
Now I feel that intensity and determination throughout the entire day
I can get hear the money callin', callin'
I can hear the call of money, it's beckoning me
And you don't wanna fall in
And you don't want to succumb to its temptations
Fall in, yeah, yeah, yeah
Succumb to its allure, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now I'm feelin' like I'm ballin', ballin'
Now I feel like I'm succeeding, succeeding
And you don't wanna fall in
And you don't want to be caught up in it
Fall in your money
Succumb to the influence of money
