[Hook]
성공하고 싶었어
성공해서 그래서
돈 많이 벌고 싶었어
돈 많이 벌고 싶어서
나 열심히 일했어
아주 열심히 일했어
그럼 행복할 거라 믿었어
그저 성공하고 싶었어
[Verse 1]
어릴 적 이민 갔을 때
커서 뭐가 되고 싶냐고
they said 의사나 경찰
난 돈 많이 버는 거
농담 아닌데
웃었어 선생님마저
속으로 대답해 나
그럼 애초 여기 올 필요 없잖아
그때부턴지 몰라
성공에 대한 집착
누가 입다 버린 옷 질려서
것도 없어 도망친 엄마 아빠 미워서
어린 맘에 난 돈이 너무 싫었네
동시에 돈이 많았으면 빌었네
어디서 몰래 주운 소파
그 위에 누워 그려 성공한 나
[Hook]
성공하고 싶었어
성공해서 그래서
돈 많이 벌고 싶었어
돈 많이 벌고 싶어서
나 열심히 일했어
아주 열심히 일했어

그저 성공하고 싶었어
[Verse 2]
This is real talk weak side of me, emotional side of me
maybe real me 너와 내 앞에 소주잔을 상상해서 놓아
이곳은 내가 솔직해질 수 있는 곳
혹 이미지 세탁 값싼 감성팔이라 해도 좋아
사람들 내가 변했데 난 인정할 수 없어
막았던 귀 열기까진 꽤 오래 걸렸네 나로선
깨닫고 나니 후련해 like a man 나 말해
You were right I admit it
난 초심을 잃었네
며칠 전 팬이었다며 메시지
당신으로 인해 힙합 알게 됐고 계속 기다렸지만
이제는 실망
처음 랩을 하면서 느꼈던 것들
명심하고 잊지 말라고 욕심 말고 잘 걸어나가달라고
what’s money what’s fame what’s happiness
대체 왜 갈증이 가시지 않는 걸까 진짜 성공은 뭘까
돈 벌자마자 먼저 산 최고급 소파
그 위에 누워 그려 어릴 적 나
[Hook]
성공하고 싶었어
성공해서 그래서
돈 많이 벌고 싶었어
돈 많이 벌고 싶어서
나 열심히 일했어
아주 열심히 일했어
그럼 행복할 거라 믿었어
그저 성공하고 싶었어
[Bridge]
듣기 너무 무서웠던 말
변했어
넘어진 날 맘껏 비웃어
언젠간 똑같이 누가 널 비웃어
어디까지가 성공인 걸까
높이 올라가면 더 높은 곳을 보느라
내가 얼마나 높이 왔는지 볼 여유가 없었네
난 그저 난 그저
[Hook]
성공하고 싶었어
돈 많이 벌고 싶었어
아주 아주 아주 많이 벌고 싶었어
나 열심히 일했어
정말 열심히 일했어
행복해지길 빌었어
그게 성공이라 믿었어
성공하고 싶었어
성공하고 싶었어
성공하고 싶었어

I wanted to succeed
I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed
When I immigrated to America as a child
They asked what I wanted to be when I grew up
They said doctor or police
I said I wanted to make a lot of money
I wasn’t joking
But the teacher laughed
I answered to myself
Then I didn’t need to come here in the first place
Maybe that was the start
Of my obsession with success
Cuz I was sick of hand-me-down clothes
Cuz I hated my parents for running away
My young heart hated money so much
But at the same time, prayed for a lot of money
I picked up this used sofa from somewhere
Laying on it as I dreamed of success
I wanted to succeed
I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed
This is real talk weak side of me, emotional side of me
maybe real me, imagine a soju glass in front of us
This is where I can be honest
I don’t care if my image is ruined or if they accuse me of selling my emotions
People say I’ve changed, I admit it
It took a while to open my closed ears
After I realized, I felt relieved, like a man, I can say
You were right I admit it
I lost my original intentions
A few days ago, I got a message from a fan
Saying that he got to know hiphop through me and kept waiting
But was now disappointed
That I should keep in mind the things I first felt when I rapped
That I shouldn’t be greedy and to walk on this path well
what’s money what’s fame what’s happiness
Why isn’t this thirst going away? What is true success?
As soon as I made money, I bought the fanciest sofa
I laid on it and thought about me as a child
I wanted to succeed
I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed
Words I was so scared to hear
You changed
Laugh at me all you want when I fall
Some day, someone will laugh at you too
Where does success stop?
If you go up, you keep seeing places that are higher
There was no reason to see how far I’ve came
I just, I just
I wanted to succeed
I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed
I wanted to succeed
I wanted to succeed
I wanted to succeed
