Throwback Lyrics English Translation by Gist
(feat. YULEUM)
Was it 2014
Was I 14
I remember it all so vividly
Maybe Show Me was season 3
Escaped out of school
Studying’s no fun
Study hall time is so boring
If I stay locked in here, I won’t make money
Mom, I wanna do hip-hop
You don’t have to worry
What kinda confidence was that
I went straight to Hongdae
Incheon was too boring for me
My first show that I paid to do
That was probably my first time picking a fight with the world
My early start had a lot going on
Met a lot of older guys, built myself up
Why do the dudes I called friends keep resting?
Don’t you have any anxiety?
Why the hell aren’t you running?
When are we gonna stop looking like cute kids?
The girls already know
What’s the right move
Either kill or be killed
I survived, right here
Was it 2014
Was I 14
I remember it all so vividly
Maybe Show Me was season 3
Was it the link
Is this what hip-hop is
I remember it all so vividly
Was it 2024
I was thinkin’ I had to put something out
project file들엔 쌓여 먼지가
비트 위에 단어들을 던지다
한 번은 널브러져서 거실 바닥에
생각했어, 내 가사가 오글거린다고
그쯤에 올라왔던 자신에 대한
hate, myself, my personality
새로운 odyssey ’cause I found this girl
‘that thing’ wasn’t what I wanted to be
that girl was best, so the best I had to be
이 교실에 애들은 전부 다 이겨야 했지
내 가사들은 진중해졌지만
나는 그냥 나를 믿어서 멀리 봐
mind you, 이건 성공 story의 nuance는 아냐
그쯤에 떨어지고 있었던 건 cicadas
Was it 2014
Was I 14
I remember it all so vividly
Maybe Show Me was season 3
Was it the link
Is this what hip-hop is
I remember it all so vividly
