  1. 열등감이 오늘의 나를 살게 해

    Inferiority complex keeps me alive today

  2. 그래 말이 필요 없이 잘 돼야 돼

    Yeah, no need for words, it better work out

  3. 보란 듯이 미친 듯이 반드시

    Just like that, madly, it must be done

  4. I wanna be the one that I wanna be

  5. 눈을 뜨고 살겠다고 밥 한술 뜨고

    I vowed to live with my eyes wide open, taking a spoonful of rice

  6. 밥 먹자마자 늦을까봐 자리를 뜨고

    Right after eating, I'm worried I'll be late, so I leave my seat

  7. 대문 밖을 나서자마자 두 눈 부릅뜨고

    As soon as I step outside, I open my eyes wide

  8. 펼쳐질 시험과 위험 무릅쓰고

    Facing the trials and dangers that unfold

  1. 현실로 간단 반복되는 노가다

    A simple reality, repetitive hard work

  2. 차디 찬 출근길에 담배는 마누라

    On the chilly commute, smoking is my companion

  3. 가슴에 품은 어릴 적 꿈은

    The dream I held close in my heart since childhood

  4. 방금 내뿜은 담배 연기처럼 날라가

    Floats away like the smoke from a freshly exhaled cigarette

  5. 조금만 더 잘 참다가

    Just hold on a bit longer

  6. 때려치우든 독립을 하든 선택 하자

    Whether I quit or gain independence, let's make a choice

  7. 평생 이럴 순 없잖아 (평생 이럴 순 없잖아)

    I can’t live like this forever (I can’t live like this forever)

  8. 평생 이럴 순 없잖아 (평생 이럴 순 없잖아)

    I can’t live like this forever (I can’t live like this forever)

  9. 로또는 좇도 누가 먹는 거니

    Who gets to eat the lottery win?

  10. 주식시장에 눈먼 돈은 누가 먹는 거니

    Who benefits from blind money in the stock market?

  11. 속세에 눈이 머니 It's all about money

    When it comes to worldly matters, it's all about money

  12. 젠장 이런 젠장

    Damn, this is damn

  13. 열등감이 오늘의 나를 살게 해

    Inferiority complex keeps me alive today

  14. 그래 말이 필요 없이 잘 돼야 돼

    Yeah, no need for words, it better work out

  15. 보란 듯이 미친 듯이 반드시

    Just like that, madly, it must be done

  16. I wanna be the one that I wanna be

  17. (나의 wanna be) 뽀대 나는 세단 하나 끌고

    (My wanna be) driving a flashy sedan

  18. (나의 wanna be) 여인네들의 시선을 끌고

    (My wanna be) catching the ladies' attention

  19. (나의 wanna be) 똘마니들 우루루루 끌고

    (My wanna be) having my crew follow me everywhere

  20. (나의 wanna be) 신용카드 쫙쫙 긁고

    (My wanna be) swiping my credit card fiercely

  21. (나의 wanna be) 까짓 거 한 번 사는 거

    (My wanna be) living once, so what!

  22. 좆 나게 폼 나게 멋 나게 간지 나게

    Living with style, flaunting, and being cool

  23. 살다가는 게 그게 나의 wanna be

    That's my wanna be

  24. 한 술 밥에 배부르지 않지만

    One spoonful of rice doesn't fill me up

  25. 먹고살 궁리에 내 머리는 비만

    But my mind is full of ways to survive

  26. 친구들아 담에 보자 나는 이만

    Friends, see you next time, I've gotta go

  27. 너나 나나 잘 돼야지 허나

    You and I both need to succeed, however,

  28. 일단 내가 돼야지 그래야지 산다

    First, I need to succeed, that’s how I survive

  29. 아님 맛 간다 우리 아기 참 잘도 잔다

    Otherwise, it all goes south, our baby sleeps so soundly

  30. 가습기에 물을 가득 채워줘야 한다

    I have to fill the humidifier to the brim

  31. 일 년에 절반은 소주로 달래고

    Half the year is soothed by soju

  32. 누구랑 먹느냐에 따라 맛은 참 다르고

    The taste changes depending on who I drink with

  33. 오빠 소리에 난 여전히 설레고

    Hearing 'oppa' still makes my heart flutter

  34. 미친놈 다음 날은 쓰린 속 달래고

    The next day, I nurse my sore stomach

  35. 집 장만이 가장 로맨틱한 낭만

    Buying a house is the most romantic fantasy

  36. 어느 세월에 혼자 상상만 해

    In this time, I can only imagine alone

  37. 관둬 안 해 만만치가 않네

    Forget it, it's not that easy

  38. 열등감이 오늘의 나를 살게 해

    Inferiority complex keeps me alive today

  39. 그래 말이 필요 없이 잘 돼야 돼

    Yeah, no need for words, it better work out

  40. 보란 듯이 미친 듯이 반드시

    Just like that, madly, it must be done

  41. I wanna be the one that I wanna be

  42. (나의 wanna be)) 뽀대 나는 세단 하나 끌고

    (My wanna be) driving a flashy sedan

  43. (나의 wanna be) 여인네들의 시선을 끌고

    (My wanna be) catching the ladies' attention

  44. (나의 wanna be) 똘마니들 우루루루 끌고

    (My wanna be) having my crew follow me everywhere

  45. (나의 wanna be) 신용카드 쫙쫙 긁고

    (My wanna be) swiping my credit card fiercely

  46. (나의 wanna be) 까짓 거 한 번 사는 거

    (My wanna be) living once, so what!

  47. 좆 나게 폼 나게 멋 나게 간지 나게

    Living with style, flaunting, and being cool

  48. 살다가는 게 그게 나의 wanna be

    That's my wanna be

  49. (나의 wanna be) 그게 나의 wanna be

    (My wanna be) that's my wanna be

  50. (나의 wanna be) 그게 나의 wanna be

    (My wanna be) that's my wanna be

  51. 까짓 거 한 번 사는 거

    Living once, so what!

  52. 좆 나게 폼 나게 멋 나게 간지 나게

    Living with style, flaunting, and being cool

  53. 살다가는 게 그게 나의 wanna be

    That's my wanna be
