꿈만 죽어라고 쫓았어
결승선은 만족을 못해서 보이지 않아
its the hard knock life 느긋함보단 아직
빡세게 사는 편이 더 마음 편한 타입 huh
하나둘씩 내 캐릭터 모방하는 제작자
but ZICO는 연습이 아닌 경험으로 자라났다
4년간 우여곡절 구설수와 가정사
숨 쉬는 것 마저 담배 피는 느낌 뭔지 알아
Get over it and move on 눈 부릅떠 다 극복했어
가족을 품고 친구들 이끌어주려고
I’ve got the swank of no other man
내 소비는 사치보단 보상에 가깝지
글자도 가까이서 보면 흐릿해 보이듯이
우린 자신이 처한 곤경은 모르지
버튼이면 뭐든지 다 해결되는 도심에서
내 힘으로 결실을 맺어 well done
I’m doing it right
이 정도면 훌륭해
Only the Strong Survive
부끄럼 없어 임마
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
Uh uh I make my mama proud
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
go ahead you can’t ignore it now
2008년 이효리의 U-Go-Girl이
히트칠 때 시작된 김성희의 홀로서기
청소기, 설거지, 용돈 벌기, 무엇 하나
익숙지 않은 채로 떨어진 여기 서울 살아
남기 project, 여전히 전쟁터, fight without knife
그 사이 터득했던 방법 1 dynamic mic
잡생각들 이 많아지는 건 깔깔이 입어 봤던
내 친구들은 잘 알어 It’s the hard knock life
and time flies, 니 아빠 차 보다 빨리
내가 물려받은 건 차키 아닌 키 180
시력 1.5 남들보다 뛰어난 관찰력
틀이 없는 표현 방식, 어린왕자의 상자 속
안에 뭐가 있게? money fame n bitches
나도 알고 싶기에, 지금 현재 위치
까지 달려왔어, polo on, come through the door,
개선장군, 동대문 통과할 때 승전보
울려줘, drumroll 박수갈채
난 backstage 대기실에서 거울을 보며 말해
이 모든게 꿈이 아냐, 앞으로도 계속
앞으로 갈 거지만 일단 수고했어, well done
I’m doing it right
이 정도면 훌륭해
Only the Strong Survive
부끄럼 없어 임마
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
Uh uh I make my mama proud
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
go ahead you can’t ignore it now
정산 받은 날도 돈보다 먼저 곡을 써
서초에 가 poptime stay tuned 의 속을 썩여
성공은 기뻐할 틈 없이 사명감을 줘
요란했던 빈 수레들은 공수래공수거
be positive 오스틴이 써낸 긍정의 힘
받침이 잘못됐어 사실 금전의 힘
힘의 논리를 일찍 배워 기계처럼 사는 꼴이
전혀 인간답지 못해 자꾸 인성얘기 꺼내는 거야?
난 집안 빚다 청산하고 일산에
할머니 모실 집 봐, 삼촌은 갔지만
‘god save Paulus’ 엄마의 초상화
on my chest 날 제대로 보려면 put the cameras down
난 말이 씨가 되게 해 누굴! 나무라기 전에
유명한 부자는 못 되도 이루려고 노력해
열정도 지나치면 해가 된다는 말
That’s right 난 널 땀나게 하고 부채질 받아
I’m doing it right
이 정도면 훌륭해
Only the Strong Survive
부끄럼 없어 임마
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
Uh uh I make my mama proud
난 덜 익었지만 난 덜 익었지만
go ahead you can’t ignore it now

I only chased after my dreams so hard
I can’t see the finish line because I couldn’t be satisfied
It’s the hard knock life, I’m the type to be more comfortable
With working hard rather than taking things slow
One by one, producers are starting to imitate my character
But ZICO grew not with practice but with experience
For four years, there were all sorts of criticisms and family matters
Breathing felt like smoking a cigarette, you know what I mean?
Get over it and move on, I opened my eyes wide and overcame it all
I embraced my family, pulled through for friends
I’ve got the swank of no other man
What I spend isn’t on luxury but on compensation
Just like letters getting blurry when read up too close
We don’t know our own troubles
Living in an urban city where pressing a button solves everything
I’ll make my own ending with my own strength, well done
I’m doing it right
This is pretty good
Only the strong survive
I’m not embarrassed about anything dude
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Uh uh I make my mama proud
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Go ahead you can’t ignore it now
When Lee Hyori’s U-Go-Girl became a hit in 2008
Kim Sung Hee’s independence was just starting
Vaccuuming, doing the dishes, making money
I wasn’t used to any of that but I came here, to live in Seoul
Survival project, it’s still a battlefield, fight without knife
One method I learned is 1 dynamic mic
Having a lot of miscellaneous thoughts
My friends who have worn a lot of uniforms know, it’s the hard knock life
And time flies, faster than your dad’s car
What I inherited wasn’t a car key but my height of 180cm
My vision is 1.5 better than others, great observation skills
My way of expressing things has no boundaries
What’s inside the Little Prince’s box? Money, fame and bitches
I want to know so that’s why I’ve came this far
Polo on, come through the door
When the victorious general has his victory walk through Dongdaemun
Let the drum roll and people applaud
I look in the mirror backstage and tell myself
This isn’t all a dream, I’m gonna keep moving forward but for now, good job, well done
I’m doing it right
This is pretty good
Only the strong survive
I’m not embarrassed about anything dude
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Uh uh I make my mama proud
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Go ahead you can’t ignore it now
Even on payday, I write songs before I spend money
Go to Seocho, pop time, stay tuned, I upset them
Success gives me a mission without time to be happy
All of the noisy and empty wagons come empty and leave empty
Be positive, like Osteen’s “Your Best Life Now”
But that’s not right, it’s about the power of money
I learned about the logic behind power early on
So I live like a machine and I don’t act like a human
Why keep talking about character?
I took care of all my family’s debts
Now I’m looking for a house for my grandma in Ilsan
Though my uncle has passed, “God Save Paulus”
My mom’s portrait on my chest
If you wanna see the real me, put the cameras down
I make words come to life, before you call anyone a tree
Even if I can’t be a famous rich man, I’ll try hard to make it happen
They say too much passion can be harmful
That’s right, I’ll make you sweat and have people fan me
I’m doing it right
This is pretty good
Only the strong survive
I’m not embarrassed about anything dude
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Uh uh I make my mama proud
I’m not well done, I’m not well done but
Go ahead you can’t ignore it now
