BEANIE Lyrics Translation – Skaai
Skaai uses a beanie and Vans as symbols of readiness. A key line states, ‘I’ve been hiding who I am, but now I’m a rapper.’ This shows a move from concealment to boldness. Social media serves as a punching bag where heaven and earth flip.
I’m a borderI’m a border
I’m a stealerI’m a stealer
I’ve been capin’ over self but now I’m a rapperI’ve been hiding who I am, but now I’m a rapper
Sandobakku sns reikoku na geemu ten to chi uraharaPunching bag on social media, a cold game where heaven and earth are flipped
Ai mo hate mo zenbu rhyme ni shoukaSublimating all the love and hate into my rhymes
Keep a good faith leave masterpiecesKeep the faith and leave behind masterpieces
Saigo warau no wa me or sceneIn the end, it’s either me or the scene that’ll be laughing
Hondai no mae ni haku Vans and BeanieLacing up my Vans and Beanie before getting to the point
Aisuru monoThe things I love,
Gaisuru kotoThe things that hurt,
Saegiru monoThe things in my way,
Mae monokuro now full colorUsed to be monochrome, but now they’re full color
Eyesight furu kaitenMy vision’s in full gear
Umare mo sodachi mo zenbu zenkou seito no naka de hitorikiriBorn and raised, I was all alone among the honor students
Yuiitsu muni ii ki ni naru na yo urayamashii naDon’t get too full of yourself as the ‘one and only,’ I’m so jealous
Iwareru ryoutan no ikenOpinions coming at me from both extremes
Can’t hold my breath no more naku okusokoCan’t hold my breath no more, crying from deep inside
Funbari doko shou-roku no ketsudanThe moment to stand firm, a decision made in sixth grade
Ichika bachika no kake jiyuu motome kokkyou koeru hitoriAn all-or-nothing gamble, crossing borders alone in search of freedom
Ijiri mo kanshou mo nai sekai tekitou niLiving aimlessly in a world with no teasing or interference
Nobody stood there beside meNobody stood there beside me
All i could do is to vomit aloneAll I could do was vomit alone
But it was eyeball that was floodingBut it was my eyes that were flooding
Nah sh#tNah, sh#t
Nah sh#tNah, sh#t
Nah sh#tNah, sh#t
Kaishuu suru juu-nen go ni hassan inori kometeReclaiming it all ten years later, venting with a prayer
I’m a borderI’m a border
I’m a stealerI’m a stealer
I’ve been capin’ over self but now I’m a rapperI’ve been hiding who I am, but now I’m a rapper
Sandobakku sns reikoku na geemu ten to chi uraharaPunching bag on social media, a cold game where heaven and earth are flipped
Ai mo hate mo zenbu rhyme ni shoukaSublimating all the love and hate into my rhymes
Keep a good faith leave masterpiecesKeep the faith and leave behind masterpieces
Saigo warau no wa me or sceneIn the end, it’s either me or the scene that’ll be laughing
Hondai no mae ni haku Vans and BeanieLacing up my Vans and Beanie before getting to the point
NaissuNice
Kako ni kui wa naissuI’ve got no regrets about the past
Mushiro kansha shitemasu ore no parentsInstead, I’m grateful to my parents
Fusagu mouthShutting my mouth,
Kenkyo na yatsu hodo kuchisuu wa sukunaiThe humbler the person, the less they speak
Sore ga natural setsuri you knowThat’s just the natural order, you know
I’m wrestling aite wa tsuune ni ore betsu ni ganchuu ni nai domestic sceneI’m wrestling, my opponent’s always myself; I don’t care about the domestic scene
Nijuusan-nenkan arigatouThank you for these twenty-three years
Zenbu ririkku ni komeru danchou no feelingPutting all these heartbreaking feelings into my lyrics
Shinimonogurui de ubau tsumori datta ore no hyoukaI was going to seize my status through a desperate struggle
Bake no kawa hagarete mou ikkai mou ikkaiThe mask’s peeled off, so one more time, one more time
Kore saigo no kakeThis is the final gamble
What’s up to the new worldWhat’s up to the new world
What’s up to the folks who thought i would be a prof or a lawyerWhat’s up to the folks who thought I’d be a professor or a lawyer
What’s up competitors you see meWhat’s up competitors, you see me
