Neetz describes memories that linger with friends. The performer mentions ‘scent of ‘marijuana’ smoked with homeboys’ as he writes about dropping out of school. The musician pours ambition into sixteen bars, questioning who he’s making this music for.
Ore no Workflow wa dare mo mane dekineeMy workflow’s something that nobody can ever copy,
Push suru paddo kawarazu tomenai everydayI’m hitting these pads every day and I’m never gonna stop.
Imada kaoru homeboy to sutta mary janeThe scent of the ‘marijuana’ I smoked with my homeboys still lingers,
Wasurerarenai sa omaera no sei deand I can’t forget about you guys because of that.
Kawase mitai ni hibi hendou shiteru joukyouThe situation’s changing every day just like the exchange rates,
Sore mo shouganai ikiru to kimeta Tokyobut I’ve gotta accept it since I chose to live in Tokyo.
Vision mo tanai to hihei shite shoumouIf you don’t have a vision, you’ll just end up exhausted and burnt out,
Yameta high school mo ima wa koukai nai yobut I don’t have any regrets about dropping out of high school now.
Dekireba raku ni shikareta rail niI wish I could’ve just taken the easy path on the rails that were laid out,
Iya imagara osoi yo ato no matsuribut it’s far too late for that ‘regret’ now.
Nigitta mic fumikonda NIKEI gripped the mic and stepped forward in my Nikes,
Inochi kezutte sarakedasu no ka nakedwondering if I’m gonna shave my life away to expose everything as I am.
Nakama wa tokku ni tooku no hou iru moyouIt looks like my crew’s already gone off somewhere far away,
Kocchi mo kotoba de shikakedashi tekiouso I’m making my move with these words and adapting.
16bars ni komeru yabouI’m pouring all my ambition into these sixteen bars,
Kyou wa yakeni hakkiri to mieru shadowand my shadow’s looking incredibly clear today.
Genjitsu kara turn awayIf I turn away from the reality right in front of me,
Suru to ma ni awanee (Yes no way)I won’t be able to make it in time (Yeah, there’s no way).
Kasumi yuku everyday nukedashite new ageI’m breaking out of these hazy days and into a new age,
Saredo yamanu rain rain on my mindbut the rain on my mind still won’t stop falling.
Nijimu rain rain on my mindThis rain on my mind keeps on blurring everything,
Ukishizumu you session jazz mitai ad-lib kanaderuand I’m playing ad-libs like a jazz session that’s rising and falling.
Task o konashite tsumikasaneru yenI’m finishing every task and piling up the yen,
Kanojo ga iu no sa kimi wa kawaranaiwhile she tells me that I haven’t changed a bit.
Money is running low but ain’t no half steppinMoney’s running low but I’m never gonna do things halfway,
Dare ga dare no tame beat o kanaderuwondering who’s playing this beat and for whose sake.
Task o konashite tsumikasaneru yenI’m checking off the tasks and stacking up the yen,
Kieru kodoku sae mata tashikameteeven confirming the loneliness that’s starting to fade.
Money is running low but ain’t no half steppinMy money’s getting tight but I’m still going all in,
Play like 80’s smokin’ like OGplaying it like the ’80s and smoking like an OG.
Ame ga slow ni hajiketeru concrete rookie mitai everyday manabiThe rain’s slowly splashing on the concrete while I learn every day like a rookie,
Tekiou suru nagareru kono Streetsadapting to the flow of these city streets.
Kono te ga seikou ni fureru toki niWhen these hands of mine finally touch success,
Ano machigai o yurusete itara iiI hope I’ll be able to forgive those past mistakes.
Seikou to enemy Coke to pepperoniSuccess and enemies, just like ‘cocaine’ and pepperoni,
Yareru nara ore no you ni yareba iiand if you think you can do it, then go ahead and do it like I do.
Genjitsu kara turn awayIf I turn away from the truth of reality,
Suru to ma ni awanee (Yes no way)I’m never gonna make it in time (Yeah, no way).
Kasumi yuku everyday nukedashite new ageEscaping these fading days to reach a brand new age,
Saredo yamanu rain rain on my mindbut the rain in my mind just keeps on pouring.
Nijimu rain rain on my mindThis rain on my mind is blurring the vision,
Ukishizumu you session jazz mitai ad-lib kanaderuplaying ad-libs like a jazz session that drifts up and down.
Task o konashite tsumikasaneru yenI keep grinding through the tasks and stacking my cash,
Kanojo ga iu no sa kimi wa kawaranaiwhile my girl tells me that I’m still the same man.
Money is running low but ain’t no half steppinFunds are getting low but I won’t ever slack off,
Dare ga dare no tame beat o kanaderuthinking about who I’m making this music for.
Task o konashite tsumikasaneru yenFinishing the grind and piling up the money,
Kieru kodoku sae mata tashikameteconfirming the loneliness as it slowly disappears.
