Open M.I.C.
[Verse 1: Eun Jiwon]
오늘 같은 날 할 일은 없고
하고 싶은 것들은 많고
수화기의 버튼을 눌러
난데없이 형들을 불러
모이는 곳은 언제나 압구정동
-에서 다시 뭐를 할까 우리 생각해
아무리 조를 짜려 해도 오늘은 막막해
평소에 그나마 내가 알고 있던 여자들도
이상하게 오늘따라 전화도 안 받고 (Tablo!)
[Verse 2: Tablo]
나도 형만 믿고 나왔죠
오늘 밤도 쓸데없이 술로 보내지 말고
이 근처 녹음실로 다 불러
8마디씩 각자 맘대로 rap을 읊어
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Verse 3: Mithra Jin]
내 생각에 음악에 많은 생각은 해가 돼
Beat에 rhythm 하나만을 생각해
Feel the beat feel the flow, 내 몸 가는 대로
느끼니? 한층 더 가벼운 네 몸
물에 술을 탄 듯 알게 또 모르게
흔드는 고개, 흥을 돋는 이 곡에
맞춰 닫혀진 사상을 열어
논쟁 도발 고통의 눈은 다 멀어
[Verse 4: Tweak]
내 어린시절 주제가는 아빠가 들려주던
Earth Wind & Fire - September, "I Remember"
작곡가이셨던 내 아버지 덕분에
난 한글보다 노래를 먼저 배웠어
결국 부전자전, 아빠와 아들의 음악적 갈등과
수많은 날은 흘러간 옛노래처럼
돌아가신 아버지 농담이 귓가에 들려
"아빤 한국 최고, 넌 세계로 뻗어나가렴"
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Refrain: Tablo]
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
It's like that and like this and like that and ah
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
[Verse 5: Yankie]
Yo, one, two, 그러면 느끼는 게 질투
이 세상에 너는 허름한 바겐세일, 제품 아닌 폐품
이리저리 너무 굴러 헌 예술
철학적 의미는 내게는 none
배워 느껴 너는 빛나는 돌
Pocket Monster처럼 넌 진화하는 Youngster
Just want to respect you mister
배움 안에 갖는 너무 많은 soul의 일터
[Verse 6: Topbob]
나는 톱-바비리-비리-밥
배가 고파, nobody ever give up
더 많은 삶 속 수난은 퍽도 깊어
뛰어왔어 또 숨이 가뻐
쫓아오지마, 나를 놔줘, 저리 꺼져
Mo'fucker, mo'sucker, 너 먹은 돈 다 뱉어
Left to the right, right to the left
다 똑같아, 뭐가 딱해
그러니 stop 투덜대
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Refrain: Tablo]
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
It's like that and like this and like that and ah
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
[Verse 7: Choiza]
이마에 주름은 더 늘어가고
시간은 더 빨리 가고
깊이있는 책을 봐도 졸음만 쏟아져
바로 이해할 수 없던 아버지를 닮아가고
지갑 속에 나를 가둬
이젠 아저씨야 나도
[Verse 8: Gaeko & Choiza]
이젠 아저씨야 나도
친구들을 봐도 부푸는 배
자꾸 꿈을 따라 저 멀리로 달아나고
누군가는 벌써 우릴 중견 가수라고
언젠가는 너의 열정의 샘은 메마를 것이라고
그렇게 우린 아저씨가 돼
절대 상상도 못 했었는데
이제 스물 다섯 먹었을 뿐인데
거울 속의 우리 모습 벌써 애 아빠같애
진실을 잡으려 높게 뻗어봤던 나의 팔은
지갑의 지폐를 세네, 부자가 내 role model
친구들아, 말해줄래 무언가를 what I got I do
What I got I do
[Verse 9: Tablo]
It seems like everybody wanna play god
But they blame god, shame god
Spit and lie to the same god
Can't explain, why people ask for rain
Then compain about plain skies
And the pain that comes to aged guys
A sage dies speakin' last words of wisdom
But the masses say please don't let them touch my eardrums
Just leave 'em they be deaf till
Their death but if no one ever listens
Does it matter what I said
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Verse 1: Eun Jiwon]
On a day like today, I've got nothing to do but there’s heaps that I want to do
I press the button on the phone and call my friends all of a sudden
Apgujung-dong is where we always meet up
While we're there, we think again about what we'll do
We don’t feel like forming groups today
Even the few girls that I usually talked to aren't picking up the phone, today of all days (Tablo!)
[Verse 2: Tablo]
I came outside, believing your words
Let's not waste the night with alcohol again
But get everybody in the recording booth around hеre
Let's rap 8 bars each, whatеver you like
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Verse 3: Mithra Jin]
My thoughts are that too many thoughts are harmful for music
Only think about the beat and the rhythm
Feel the beat, feel the flow
Do you feel it like my body does?
Your body feels a lot lighter
Like mixing alcohol with water, subtly nodding your head
Following this exciting song, open up your closed ideas
The eyes of dispute, provocation and pain are all blind
[Verse 4: Tweak]
The theme songs from my youth that my dad used to play to me are:
Earth, Wind & Fire, September, I Remember
Thanks to my father who was a composer
I learnt how to sing before I learnt how to read Korean
In the end, like father, like son
The father and son’s musical conflicts and countless days have all passed by like an old song
I can hear my late father’s joke in my ears
“I'm the best in Korea, and you’re going to be the best in the world”
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin’ crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Refrain: Tablo]
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
It's like that and like this and like that and ah
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
[Verse 5: Yankie]
Yo one, two, if you do that you'll feel jealous
In this world, you're not even a shabby product on a bargain sale
But a piece of junk, too worn out after rolling around here and there
There's no artistic or philosophic meaning for me
Learn and feel it, you're a shining stone
Like a Pocket Monster, you're a youngster that evolves
Just want to respect you, mister
There are so many workplaces for your soul, within education
[Verse 6: Topbob]
I'm Topbob
Hungry? Nobody ever give up
The many hardships of life are so deep
I've been running, I'm out of breath again
Please don't chase me, let me go, piss off
Mo'fucker, mo'sucker, spit out all the money you've eaten up
Left to the right, right to the left
Everyone's the same, what's the matter? So stop complaining
[Chorus: Tablo]
Nuthin' but an 'E' thang baby
Tablo, Mithra goin' crazy
Motherfucker better watch ya lady
DJ Tukutz play that shit
[Refrain: Tablo]
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
It's like that and like this and like that and ah
It's like this and like that and like this and ah
[Verse 7: Choiza]
I'm getting more and more wrinkles on my forehead
Time is going even faster
Even when I read deep books, I only fall asleep straightaway
I'm becoming more like my father, who I couldn't understand
Locking myself in my wallet, I'm now an old man too
[Verse 8: Gaeko & Choiza]
I'm now an old man too, even when I look at my friends
Our stomaches are swelling; following our dreams and running away
Some people already call us middle-aged singers
Saying our springs of passion will dry out someday
Like that
We become old men
I couldn't even imagine it before
We're only 25 years old now
But when we see ourselves in the mirror, we already look like fathers
My arm, that reached high up to grab the truth, is counting notes in my wallet
The wealthy are my role models
Dear my friends, can you please tell me? What I gotta do?
What I gotta do
[Verse 9: Tablo]
It seems like everybody wanna play god
But they blame god, shame god
Spit and lie to the same god
Can't explain, why people ask for rain
Then compain about plain skies
And the pain that comes to aged guys
A sage dies speakin' last words of wisdom
But the masses say please don't let them touch my eardrums
Just leave 'em they be deaf till
Their death but if no one ever listens
Does it matter what I said
[Chorus: Tablo]
