[Chorus] 미안, 미안 ~ Aye, my bad I’m tired of retreating. No. No. All that womp womp womp sounds to me so obnoxious Boy, you played yourself with your nonsense! I don’t know what you’re saying (뭐라고) I don’t know what you’re saying (뭐라고) All that womp womp womp sounds to me so obnoxious Boy, you played yourself with your nonsense! I don’t know what you’re saying [Verse 1] Hmmm don’t you know? Came in ‘88 with a dream, oh so bright-eyed They knew right away, sink or swim, there’s no life line Cutting their teeth on the move Nobody’s filling these shoes Ballin’ on a budget at the Golden Arches Super size number two (CASH) ball out! Weight of the world ain’t budging. Gotta make a power move Deep in the darkest dungeons (UZU) I’m digging up my own route Hands on the plow. Keep my head down Sweat on my brow. Don’t make a sound Paying my dues now. This is the pride of a man I’m stepping the ground. I’m counting my blessings aggressively pushing the boundaries all for my family Came to this land. A dream in my hand All of that changed when life decided to switch up my plans Tell me now. How did we get so low? Tell me now. How did we get so bruised? Tell me now. How could they be so rude? Swear I’mma lose my cool. I won’t be made as a fool now [Verse 2] Hmmm Ching Chang Chong? I'll keep it trilly Some of you sounding real silly All of your “HOOWAH, HIYA” got me like really? I’m guessing that it’s my mistake for thinking that people can do better (do better) knew better? (you better chill) I refuse to be your Jet Li I refuse to be your Jackie Chan Keep on yapping off like that Keep on yapping all that jazz A man can only take so much When you keep on stomping, jumping on his back (crack) I’m not a ninja (shing) Hey, I don’t do kung fu (kungfu) But if you’re pushing me over the edge might see these knuckles do some Crouching tiger hidden dragon Get you feeling like aladdin Introduce you to a whole new world go ahead and see what happens But... I’m not the violent type Real loud cuz I’m not the silent type I don’t fit the 9 to 5. Don’t try to put me in a category I’m that 고기 조림 eating full time rapper that your papa hates and gets mama worried Not your ordinary: doctor, lawyer, and accountant You know I’m an allegory Maybe more like a unicorn! Life of faith, I trust You, Lord Monochrome I do adore Distressed denim my uniform

[Intro] I don’t wanna be... [Verse 1] I’m thinking bout myself only Set a holy grail on me Decorate it with the finest Type of silverware only Better put a veil on me Looking at you like a trophy Maybe cuz I feel lonely Write a fairytale of me Sandcastle in the air Hope it doesn't fail on me Hope it doesn't fail on me 맞아 맞아 man, it’s way too easy to be caught up in the lies 맞아 맞아 everything in HD got me thinking so slime 맞아 맞아 all these superficial thoughts keep plaguing my mind Man I wanna only think it's their problem, not mine [Chorus] I don’t wanna be so shallow I don’t wanna be so shallow I wanna see you beyond the glamour I wanna see you beyond the glamour [Verse 2] The truth is… I’m like a taxidermy So concerned about the vanity I'm acting phony Living for approval dying by the acrimony Envy on the low pretending that I'm lacking worries Heart and my soul’s in need of revival Feel it in my throat, my pulse, all the vitals (아이구) I guess my need to be known’s the same as your own I'm just tryna find my shalom (pull-up) SKRT I gotta kill that! Treating people like commodities No, I don’t feel that! Uncle Phil that habit out of me This will make a man out of me Took another little swig of my ego Lord, I need a veto Am I Really playing at casinos with my life in the dice? What's the price I gotta pay to put aside my pride and require me to say? [Bridge] Help me love you better. Help me to love you right x3 I cannot do this on my own.

[Verse 1] So it hit me like an anvil It’s been a couple years now Every talk is a gamble Ante up with my fears now Man, I’m feeling kind of bashful Ain’t no other way to put it Ain’t no other way to cut it up Handful of pride. Yea I gotta cut it up Feeling kind of scrambled, put it in an omelette Girl you know I’m cheffing up a real good line To show you I’m a real one, a real good guy Can’t you see we got a real good vibe? Can’t cook but I’ll try to bake a real good pie for you But a part of me is holding back though Instead of moving forward I’m running through the back door (oh no) Fear is telling me to run away I ain’t listening today. I swear... [Hook] She was throwing me a sign It was headed my way I got the memo, I feel like jello Hope it doesn’t show up on my face I don’t really mind If it isn’t my day I got the memo, I feel like jello Hope it doesn’t show up on my face I don't wanna fall in love Fear of failure’s way too much I don't wanna fall in love But when I look at you I reconsider! Tell my boys that I'm Going for it x3 Going ‘til I'm gone Tell my boys that I'm Going for it x3 Going ‘til I'm gone [Verse 2] Really don't know how to word this (oh my) When you look at me I feel nervous (oh my) If I'm being honest for a minute You got my heart spinning. I'll admit it. I cannot believe I'm not dreaming! You're the type of woman I envisioned. God bless!! Caught up in this moment, I ain't moving on My heart is burning up. Pull the fire alarm It's like a raging furnace took a firearm And (BUCK BUCK) straight up to my chest with that tiger balm I like the way your mind works When you talk about your passions, girl, you’re painting it with fireworks I can’t wait to see the rest of this canvas I know it’s crazy but I think I have a chance

Uzuhan 03:19
[Intro x2] Ooh ooh kill ‘em East Coast villain Flow so cold so chilly Go get a coat chinchilly [Bridge] I got a dollar and a dream Boy, you know we’re really tryna eat Don’t you know I got a dollar and a dream Boy, you know we’re really tryna eat [Verse 1] The more that I travel the globe I see the changes around me People move on and drift apart Real life ain’t slowing down for anybody Get’s real. That’s the way it is Sometimes I don’t even know what day it is Going city to city and making a living to say I’m busy is an understatement. Oh no. Y’all think I’m famous. All I care is that I live blameless 7 years of trailblazing no hand outs and no favors (sheesh) no prototypes, no blueprints just rolled the dice and trusted God that He’ll be right with that vision given, we’ll keep alive. [Chorus] No time, got no time for your fables Too busy putting meals on my table You can call me what you want, any label I'll cook and serve you on perillas -- 냄냠 I be that uzu 누구냐 누구냐 (who?) I be that uzu call me call me uzuhan I be that uzu 누구냐 누구냐 (who?) I be that uzu call me call me uzuhan yea yea [Verse 2] Real recognize real, pew pew I cannot compute Tell me who are you? Fondue - got the smell on you seem a little sus I can smell a bit of trout on ya I consider it a blessing. you consider it lasagna I don't know it’s been a few years. I’m still a rookie in many regards. but I got a few fears I’ve got a couple concerns in a jar. I’m scared that when my booth is out of touch, and I’ve been out of luck the youth will be out of our reach veni, vidi, vici those worries are beneath me

[Chorus - Joey Jewish] Get your glasses up Get your glasses up (toast) For the real ones, yup, for the real ones This for all of us This for all of us (toast) For the real ones, yup, for the real ones [Hook - nobigdyl] Let’s remember all the things we’ve been through Let’s remember all the things that are true Let’s remember we don’t play by their rules Let's remember there's no me without you [Verse 1] Lord knows how many times that I doubted Happened way too often, might mistake me for a Thomas Disappointment so deep that silence is the only kind of solace Quietness the only kind of tonic. Motivation that’s kinda violent That gets you out of your seat. Gets you back on your feet Gets you running even harder harder after try number 43 All the sleepless nights when we thought we couldn’t make it Disbelief -- best believe we had to break it [Pre-Chorus - Joey Jewish] Yea we made it this far and you know I got your back Through the good and the bad (that’s a fact) yea we made it this far and you know I got your back Through the good and the bad [Verse 2] Drowning in my pseudo peril you're the one who pulled me out When my vision was too narrow you're the one who zoomed me out When my anger reigned of terror you're the one who cooled me down Ain't no doubt in the droughts or the famines we’ll abound Cuz you know the solo dolo route gets you buzzing quick though you wanna go the forty miles Prolly quit before you even crawl Cuz you know you ain’t that strong Cuz you know you ain’t that raw Cuz you know you can’t go far If we’re not doing this together.

[Chorus - Shope] 어머나나 I’m forever legend 어머나나 I’m forever legend At the pace that I’m going I’m forever legend When it's all said and done I’m forever legend 어머나 세상에 I’m forever legend At the pace that I’m going I’m forever legend When it's all said and done I’m forever legend [Verse - Uzuhan] Make no mistake Mama’s cooking every day Rice and kimchi up on my plate Working on the holidays No vacations no phew Left everything they knew Came for the dream that 꿈 For the red, white, blue Nobody got a parachute (geronimo) Their strength is apparent. Apparently I am just late to the game. I swear that my parents Never have made a complaint That’s the kind of dedication Papa taught me how to hustle knuckle down the troubles Get it on the double I cannot just let their struggle go to waste I cannot just let their story fade away So I gotta make sure to fly Speak for those who can’t amplify Battle cry, battle cry This the anthem of the marginalized let’s go [Verse - Young Sidechain] Yeah I'ma die a legend I'ma die a legend You just out here flexing I'm up reinvesting Talking is your hobby making moves is my profession I don't care for comfort if there's no progression I don't know why you keep whining You're really not doing that much I had to get on my hustle and get it now you're busy keeping up You put in 2. I put in 10 I don't even wanna take it there Cause I've been counted out so many times I'm really losing count So I just told myself my time would come around Yeah I'ma die a legend I'ma die a legend Nah I'm a living legend I'm forever legend

[Chorus - Tim Be Told] When the world is cold and you just can’t deny you’re high and dry Better - learn how to thrive When the world is cold and you just can’t deny Won’t make it through the night Better - learn how to thrive And I really cannot reach the end of my rope And I really cannot see the end of my road And all I got is one more thing to say ~ How can I go on if you’re not around? How can I go on if you’re not around? How can I go on if you’re not around? How can I go on if you’re not around? [Verse 1 - Uzuhan] I know you don’t do it on purpose But you make me feel worthless yea yea Keeping my cool on the surface Don’t forget I’m still a person yea yea Telling my story to the world But it seems you want another version yea yea I’m tryna be the bigger man I ain’t tryna be a bitter mann But you make it so, so hard When you go so far to make yourself the victim Tryna just speak my piece But after all of that feel my words are twisted You’re sounding like a Peter Pan When you fuss about your meager plans Hope you know I’d rather criticize but if I do, what’s the difference in you and I? [Verse - Promise] Family don't leave each other We need each other Through the ups and down seasons Whether you may cuss them now But time will come you'll need someone to buckle down and be a brother Someone to muscle down at least a cousin Who at home with the keys are coming Sometimes you need loving when times are cold A father to bother push your mind to grow If you don't understand me I'm talking about family it's time you know If you ain't got a family know that God's your family you ain't gotta find your own you can find a home in Christ alone He will be a light when nights are cold He can bring you right through fights or storms and love you just like His own

[Verse - J. Han] Yuh Yuh Trigger alert Here’s your warning now Keep my ear to ground One eye open when I lay down Opinions are not my concern I’m guessing you haven't heard Talking too much. These internet thugs are toxic Blocking out all of the nonsense I ain’t listening to hate I ain’t listening today Lazy hands are going broke Potential’s something you don’t waste I gotta go and get it Grip on the plow, I cultivate it Don’t count us out in closing minutes Look at us now a photo finish! Worried a bunch, stuck in a rut. Downtown tryna find an inspiration Not good enough. Down in the dumps. Sometimes hated that I was so Asian. Wanted acceptance I was so different What was I missing? Blinded by lies, I couldn't see fact or fiction I realized that I reached an all time low God gave the sauce I’m a baste in all that gold (So I'll) ride around with that moleskine Practice swings in that bullpen Heavy hitter come game time I’m DiMaggio with that 볼펜 (pen) [Chorus] Making a wave (making a wave) Don't take us lightly (don't take us lightly) While you're busy talking all that We're moving in silence (moving in silence) We dem we dem heavy hitters We dem we dem heavy hitters Better get out my way! We dem heavy hitters WUH (what did you say) UZU (try to surprise me) While you're busy talking all that We're moving in silence (moving in silence) We dem we dem heavy hitters We dem we dem heavy hitters Better get out my way! We dem heavy hitters [Verse - NAK] I could see a forked tongue in your [loud] mouth That snake skin on your [handshake] Whether upstate or its [downtown]: That talk be tainting your landscape (Yo Uzu) [I] gotta talk to em’ prolly I oughta be [teaching] the truth… So I’mma come body the beat And so obviously making all of it clear to the youth (yeah!) -- Class in session: [this] is a lecture- - and everything mentioned will [be] on the test… [Take] a suggestion: all you Better be ready ‘cause no one exempt… (“open up to”) “Being humble:” first chapter- - Dumb rappers get the [words] backwards Drink in the cup in the club with the chicks Popping the pill with the bud in the mix Babbling-like you in love with your lips… …But why do you think it’s acceptable? Why do we purchase and play you While knowing that all the kids are susceptible? …Like molly and perc and the lean will be jolly but truth stings: And true men’ll live a [higher] calling That’s not compatible with stupid things -Our families and communities and these little ones that look up to us Don’t need money, and don’t need talk, they need leadership: and it’s up to us …We stay quiet, ‘cause heavy hitters ain’t out to prove While ya’ll talking how hard you are-- we hit out the park, you talk; we do. [Verse - Sam] They all be talkin’ about “sleepin’ on this,” or “tryna stay woke…” So we be livin’ it out Tryna be faithful, going for broke Tryna be somebody nobody knows Tryna live counter to systems and flows Tryna be better for bettering souls …but y’all already know though. Wanna be a good son Wanna be a better man Livin’ for the legend infinity, Fellowship Trinity, part of The Plan. Boy, dem heavy hitters Sure be sounding real soft… But I’mma wait and see… Who pay the real cost.

[Verse 1] Soybeans and radish 20 plates so lavish Got pickled vegetables of every kind We’re looking so outlandish That rice bowl my canvas That rice bowl my canvas The way I like my food fermented Might make you think I’m savage We’ll rat-a-tat-a-tat up in your garden stacking, stacking up on cloves of garlic Napa napa napa kimchi (SHEESH) napping, napping after bubble (TEA) Pan-fry our anchovies Riding ‘round in that HOV Let our produce age slowly Y’all just mad I stay cozy with [Chorus] Mung beans and tofu Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food Mung beans and tofu Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food Mung beans and tofu Mama’s whippin’ up that soul food She can’t stop and won’t stop ‘Til she hears ‘I’m so full” 너는 너는 밥은 먹었냐? (did you eat yet?) 어서 어서 밥을 먹어라! (go and eat now) 너는 너는 밥은 먹었냐? (did you eat yet?) 어서 어서 밥을 먹어라! (go and eat now) [Verse 2] Back then you wouldn’t believe it They celebrated with a pound of meat Though doesn't really alot to me It was plenty for ten mouths to eat. It was a feast Rice and beans. Bunch of greens Sprinkle the seeds. Dripping the oil. Sesame The white rice that I took for granted was a luxury yea for real was a fortune Tryna get a meal was a fortune Not a porsche. Only wanted bigger portions That’s something I don’t understand living in comfort with my own demands (Oh boy) that’s real life And to be honest I dunno what that feel like so imma incline my ear buds to hear what they say In every single bite I take. With these..

Keys] Papa (no worries) you did good x3 I’m taking all your lessons as a young man should Mama (no worries) you did good x3 I’m taking all your lessons as a young man should [Verse 1] One time for the parents who be working all day, all night Doing everything you can tryna pay the bills and keep on the lights In every you make, all you’re looking for is peace of the mind And when the world is unforgiving, you're giving it a bigger fight I see you in the ring now Fighting for shalom, keeping fear down Pessimism yapping off real loud Contending for the family and kids now They don’t know ‘bout you They don’t know about the long nights on the couch or the Times when you came up short or couldn’t afford That one little toy for your boy. It's all good. [Verse 2] Made you play the villain so many times when you were the hero When I heard a bunch of scolding I know, I zoned out with my earphones But as clear as day, your love for me was greater than luxuries of being right in a fight or stacking a whole bunch of tallies I’m guessing that’s the heart of a daddy and a mama when they’re looking at their kids now Though we're getting big now, we can warm hearts with a big smile bet that even when I'm eating ribs they’ll see little glimpses of a baby with a bib now. I know to you I'm really just a big child But I hope you know I'm feeling real proud of you I know to you I'm really just a big child But I hope you know I'm feeling real proud

[Verse 1] You can catch em in the kitchen Whippin’ whippin what they doin Wocka flocka on that chicken When they finish “oh leh do it” We’ll be like ayo she got that Midas touch We’ll be like ayo he got that Midas touch Man, they so impressive yea yea They about to bless you yea yea when they throw down, there's no doubt You know now. They kill it with the flavors They got the whole table going ‘Hey, you got the the sauce!” [Chorus] 어머나나 어머나나 (all day) 어머나나 어머나나 (hey you got the sauce) 어머나나 어머나나 (saltbae) 어머나나 어머나나 (hey you got the sauce) The aroma is enormous Got me singing to my Maker in this moment; can't control it 어머나나 어머나나 (all day) 어머나나 어머나나 (hey you got the sauce) [Verse 2] I swear that no one does it like you Feel it in the whole room Changing up the whole mood Something only you can produce I swear that it's like a special power How can you bake the dough for an hour within a few minutes you're turning these doubters into believers. Matter of fact you're switching up the relations This kind of reconciliation is taking the entire nation from sour to sweeter elation! So when they throw down You know now. They kill it with the flavors They got the whole table going ‘Hey, you got the the sauce!” [Bridge x2] When you’re cooking I’m like 대박 Felt so low but now my head high No more eating only 계란 필요 없어 no more 배달
