As i said before, the lyrics are about the system (industry) so here we go
:
-
I spent that one year as if I was dead, Pushing myself into a corner of the room, Shouting silent screams under the blanket, Suddenly, I was facing the mirror = reference to his times in prison.
-
Was it because of the sudden popularity or had this path not been mine from the beginning? Was that [already] enough for me? I can’t blend in [...] = he talks about his struggles about going from being a nobody to a very famous person in a short amount of times. Realising the all the expectation from the public as well.
-
Behind business masked as loyalty, there’s a mistress that lives off it. The kind gazes of the snakes that hope for my downfall = Here he talks about how the producers, ceo and exectutives loves to say to their employees that they are a familly that will always have their backs if somethings bad happen to him, but all of this is just an illusions that the companies gives to their artists in order to sign them under their company (=business masked as loyalty). He also talk about those so called friends and others artists that pretends to support him as an artist but in secret hope for his downfall (= snake)
-
In this scene, the tail wags the dog. Like prostitutes, singers line up in front of producers. Smiling all over, they serve their next source of income = Here's come the infamous line about bigshit that everybody ignores on youtube..
Ir0n is saying that artists are like prostitutes to prod', ceo and exectutive because they are sellings their soul/body to them by smiling and giving sexual services just for money.
Now what's shady about this is that ir0n ins't talking about this subjet in general but instead, all his talking about in this song is HIS EXPERIENCE, and where was he when he saw this happening?? yes bigshit. So he's
talking about bt$ here.
-
The damned fucking copyright law has long before killed singers’ rights. The vicious cycle that has firmly stabilized itself is repeated by this system’s slaves = talking about how producers are basically being slave to companies because in one song the company takes 80%, the producers 10% and artists usally takes 5% of the money. (5% others for the promo, disk agence...)
.
-
Yeah, that’s right. One’s true nature never changes. Imitating a wallflower hasn’t suited me from the start. I am not going to obediently become this country’s prey = he talks about how he assume and do not regret his past acts (drugs, stabbing people...), admitting how being a role model (wallflower=idol=puppet) is not for him and is not going to and will continue to do drugs (he made a song dedicated to drugs after btw lol). and country's prey = secret agenda ?
-
You thought I’d be shaking in fear, right? If you saw me as a pawn, accept it, it’s my turn now. Ya’ll see this is fuckin’ rapper = talks to the elites. He is proud of the fact that he is a real rapper and not some mumble/idol rappers like chanyeol that have ghostwritter and will never talk about things that will bothered them.. remember guys that rap was created in the first place to speak against the gouvernment
, that's why we see a lots of politiciens talking trash of rap, wich could aslo explain why he as a rapper was the only one exposed out the 10 persons.
-
Reporters and police are bribed. Lists are drawn-up, their political affairs. At the right timing, bombs explode. Schemes hidden behind the curtain of the press = talk about corruptions, the fact that the elite controls the police and media. the fact that sometime the media expose something controversial to hide another bigger controversy (ex : the jyp occult/samsung situation)
-
The public is swept away by scandals. Obscurantism covers your eyes. Praise Park Chung-hee, Kim Dae-jung. You yourself don’t even know that you’ve been brainwashed = #Savage god bless him lmao
-
[...]
- That bastard shaved his head and my hair grew long. What are you trying to use as excuse this time? You used your shoulder, right? = #Savage2 lol he talk about GD. GD did cut his hair to avoid drug test (because if you takes drugs, your hair never lies). He called out his lying ass lol he said what is his excuse again because the first time gd got caught he said that he didn't know it was drugs lmao.
-
GD bitch pretending to have been the victim at a fan’s expense, turn to acting instead of retarded rap eunuch TOP = he talks about how gd said that kiko (ex girlfriends) cheated on him while in reality gd cheated on kiko with a fan.. ouch lol. and for T.O.P he called him a drama queen and basicaly called him a mumble rapper (which is true btw lol).
-
The princess gets plastic surgery and goes to a beauty shop to put more make-up on. As you can see, I will now only get make-up when I’m dead = the princess here is BOM of 2n*1.
- I feel refreshed, in one year I’ll be making the East’s best hiphop. Once the bubble bursts, you’ll be the East’s best gay pop = call kpop gay pop due to fanservice and heavy makeup maybe
-
I’ll predict that in the end you will end up like Seven, thrown away like an old shoe = reference to s7ven huuugee scandal back in the early 2010's when he was caught buying a prostitute. The scandal was sooo huge back than that yg ent decided to throw away s7ven like an old shoe.
So in other term for those who don't get it about gd, he is saying how it's unfair how some get away with the freakings laws and scandal thanks to the corrupt power of companies like yg, sm, jyp, bigshit... but here you have normal person who get shitted one (and btw he is not complaining about his destiny since he said in the song and interview that he knows he is against the law and unlike some he admit it and pay for it.. some should takes exemple on him). And he did choose gd, top in particular because both had the same scandal but one got away from it because of yg and their delusional fans
