Epik High - Rocksteady (Korean Version) Lyrics

Hit the closets,
here come the lyrical monsters with weapons from neck up.
Wrecking flows with concepts.
Burbs to projects, they yelling my name.
Kero One, free us from mainstream shackles and chains.
The messiah of indie music,
be the movement, do it yourself,
pursue it or else you'll lose it.
Truth... I told myself as a young youth,
now I build with skills what haters try to undo.
Edge of your seat flows, stepping on beats' toes.
Spitting fire like a lighter, reppin' my peoples.
Second to none when it comes to showin' how its done.
Epik high, Kero One, Map the Soul. Cowards run!

Yo it's Dumbfoundead
Map the Soul, modern day Casanova.
Pack a bowl and pass it ova',
people say I rap like Yoda.
Hand me a pack of coronas and Imma kill it,
get 'drunk' like the tiger
rhymer and go terrorize your village.
Epik High called and told me
to jump on and 'kill the track'...
I took it literally and stomped on it till it was flat.
I'm from killa California, K-town to be exact.
Got so much damn soul,
to find it you won't need a map.
I've earned stripes like the corner
regions of Korea's flag.
A recording demon but there's
more to me than being a rapper.
An advocate for truth, I am a savage in the booth.
Step up and try to battle,
see how much damage I could do

Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.

Emcee Myk Map the Soul.
Epik High muthafuckas, our tracks are bold.
A tale unfolds, but y'all already know.
Six years deep and they still 'follow the flow'.
Joined the team in 0-5,
despite a little down time
내 자릴 다시 찾아왔으니 네 마음을 놓아.
I'm rollin' with the varsity team,
your rhymes are hardly mean,
we hold it down in this scene
and never barter with thieves.
Words are sharp, shoot darts at a hater's heart.
Aiming at your lolly gagging lines and your faking smarts.
Breaking charts down, taking the whole crowd.
Face it, we march proud and we making this art loud!

Be your own big boss. Get yours,
with your mind on the money like you're the pit boss.
Go independent, be your own self-defendant.
Like a knee repentant, the rules can be bended.
No fool can be mended, it's a torn sickness.
No need to prove yourself to a born witness.
Look in the mirror, kid.
You're a wonder like the pyramids.
Industry, the stink of it,
ain't you fuckin' sick of it? Idleness?
It's a sin, yes. Clean up your 'window'
of opportunity like Windex.
You know, it's like incest to 'fuck yourself' over.
Self-hate is alcohol...
you're drunk or you're sober.

Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.

It's on when the mic's on. Dark when the light's on.
Spit light when dark. Explosive dope, pipe bomb.
Swing till your whole crew is gone.
Skills like 시라소니 and 김두한.
Spirit MC King. Ask Wing and Hong 10,
I work the ring like Die Hard Dong-Hyun Kim.
Otherwise never say die.
So I'm blessed with 'nuff local love.
Worldwide respected.
I trade money but my time is precious.
They chase treasure,
but my milliseconds are measured.
Map the Soul and every single spot I've affected.
Rakaa stays fly and the High is Epik.

Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.
Yes I'm ready to rocksteady! Cuz I got skills.

East, west connection.
Boom Bap. One blood, one God, one soul music.
East, west connection.
Boom Bap. One life, one love, one true music

Hit the closets,
here come the lyrical monsters with weapons from neck up.
Wrecking flows with concepts.
Burbs to projects, they yelling my name.

[Lyrics No.1]
Hit the closets,
here come the lyrical monsters with weapons from neck up.
Wrecking flows with concepts.
Burbs to projects, they yelling my name.
Kero One, free us from mainstream shackles and chains.
The messiah of indie music,
be the movement, do it yourself,
pursue it or else you'll lose it.
Truth... I told myself as a young youth,
now I build with skills what haters try to undo.
Edge of your seat flows, stepping on beats' toes.
Spitting fire like a lighter, reppin' my peoples.
Second to none when it comes to showin' how its done.
Epik high, Kero One, Map the Soul. Cowards run!
Yo it's Dumbfoundead
Map the Soul, modern day Casanova.
Pack a bowl and pass it ova',
people say I rap like Yoda.
Hand me a pack of coronas and Imma kill it,
get 'drunk' like the tiger
rhymer and go terrorize your village.
Epik High called and told me
to jump on and 'kill the track'...

OMG !! Dumb And Epik High Go Wayy Back. I Thought they only met for the 420 song! Now that I think of it, It sounds a bit like 420!!

+H Antoinette (Ant) They went on tour together back in 2009 (Map The Soul Tour). Epik High, Kero One, Dumbfoundead, MYK, Far East Movement.

Always familiar to me.

"We are now going to progress to some steps which are a bit more difficult. Ready, set, and begin."

Thats also on BTS debut trailer.

i know, it's on the intro track with the scratch from DJ Friz. It's a popular thing with rappers~~~

It was an homage to Epik High. Rapmon has said so himself.

was originally used in Epik High's first album, their very first song. BTS are huge Epik High fans so they used it as a homage to that

"You know it's like incest to fuck yourself over. Self-hate is alcohol, you're drunk or you're sober."

BEST LINE EVER

love this because Kero One

this is so sick ^^

anyone knows some kpop like this ???

best song to study to. epik high math.

im the top gun drop another hot one competition GOT NONE

Did anyone else feel like they just got served?
'Cause I did. And I'm not even a hater.

Yeah, I also thought that way. "Yo, it's true to the heart, maybe truth to the art" doesn't sound bad either, but there were other people saying that RasheemH was right, so I decided to change it. Ah, going to change that. I copied the lyrics from Hip-Hop Playa, so I thought they were all right.

@angeluis23 oh yeah thats freakin stupid. i was talking about the we be true to the art part. but what u have fits better than what i thinks it is...also "verbs to projects, they yell out my name" he said lyrical monsters and wrecking flows with concepts, it makes more sense, because....well they make a living off of words i guess....i dunno that part is your call.

Oh, you are actually right about it. Been out for a long time, guess I'll change them now. Anyway, the phrase RasheemH said won't make sense if he comes up with "Yes, I'm, The Rock, Cuz I got skillz" << This doesn't make any sense.

hmm 0:40 the messiah of any music, beat, or movement. unless what you said "be the movement" is an actual phrase. Otherwise im pretty sure im right because the sentence doesnt make sense kinda. and yeah i also think you got the chorus wrong
:P its all good dude

@angeluis23 he is right

That, doesn't make any sense.

awesome!!

korean power besides rakaa haha

there is an english version.....i have the korean version and its sick but now i can actually sing along lol

nice song.....i love it....wow

can't believe Epik High is bumpin in American underground hip-hop... never thought Dilated Peoples would do a track with Epik. game recognize game.

"Got so much damn soul,
To find it you won't need a map."

I see whatchoo did there.

Dumbfoundead and Tablo killed it.

Dumbfoundead and Tablo killed it.

This is probably one the best songs ever. this is the way rap and hip-hop SHOULD be. THANK GOD THERE ARE SMART PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WHO CAN ACTUALLY RAP!
