lyrics
korean :
세상이 완벽한 곳이면
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의
억울한 사연 다 생겨나지도
않았겠지 전부
I've been going
through some pains
아무리 마시고 노래해 봐도
여기 맘 한구석엔
어두운 무언가 자리를 잡고
지워지질 않네
거리를 헤매이는 고양이들 같이
사람들을 피하고 싶고
듣기 버거워지네 힙합이
신문을 채운 소식도
날 우울하게 만들어
is this the human nature
긍정의 힘을 부른 나지만
늘 궁금한 게 있어
원치 않는 희생의 이유를 묻고
분노하는 게 언제부터
욕먹을 일이 되었는지
class 와 class 차이 따라
생명의 순서가 정해지는 거
경상 전라 여자 남자로
닿을 수 있는 곳 경계 짓는 거
얼마나 많은 diamond in the rough
찬란히 빛날 기회를
놓치고 있을까
누군가 내게 답해준다면
정말 좋겠다
왜 쌀국수집에선 고수를 안 줄까
세상이 완벽한 곳이면
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의
억울한 사연 다 생겨나지도
않았겠지 전부
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
세상이 완벽했다면
체벌이란 건 어린 아이들이 아닌
버르장머리 없는 성인들을
대상으로 논의되겠지
세상이 완벽했다면
SHOW ME THE MONEY 없이도
꾸준히 자신의 길을 가는
rapper 들이 잘 팔리고
돈이 되겠지
이곳이 완벽했다면
파리 날리던 거리를 살린
용감한 상인들이 건물주에게
가질 수 있겠지 더 큰 목소리
이곳이 완벽했다면
내 아버지께서
경제적 문제로 인해
사시를 포기하진 않았을걸
same old story
완벽하지 않은 나라서
이런 가사 써
you can call me 중2병
벌 만큼 벌었어
얼씬도 못해도 괜찮아 순위권
내가 완벽했다면
그녀를 잡았겠지 진작
하지만 돌이킬 수 없는
단계로 들어섰네 이미 난
세상이 완벽한 곳이면
지금 나와 함께 있겠지 넌
그리고 힘이 없는 자들의
억울한 사연 다 생겨나지도
않았겠지 전부
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
Oh if the world was
a perfect place
얼굴 마주한 서로에게
혐오에 찬 삿대질 대신
서로가 다름으로 인해
아름다움을 인정하겠지
pray the world was
a perfect place
기도를 담아 노래해
I'm prayin'
and I know
I'm not the only one
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
pray pray pray
pray pray pray

Translation :
If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all
I’ve been going
through some pains
No matter how much I drink and sing
In a corner of my heart
Something dark takes place
And it won’t get erased
Like the cats that wander the streets
I wanna avoid all people
Hip-hop gets hard to listen to
All the news in the media
Makes me feel depressed
is this the human nature
I did sing about the power of optimism
But I’ve always been curious
What is the reason for an unwanted sacrifice?
When did anger start to making people criticize?
The order of life gets decided with the difference of class
Lines are drawn between Gyeongsang and Jeolla, between female and male
How many diamonds in the rough are losing their chance to shine brightly?
I wish someone would answer me
Why won’t the pho restaurant give me cilantro?
If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
If the world was perfect
Corporal punishment wouldn’t be discussed among children
But among immature adults
If the world was perfect
Rappers who walk their own path would be successful
Even without Show Me the Money
If this place was perfect
The brave tenants that saved the fly-infested streets
Would be able to have a louder voice toward their landlords
If this place was perfect
My father wouldn’t have given up due to financial reasons
same old story
I’m writing these lyrics in a not so perfect country
You can call me a middle school emo
I made a lot of money
I don’t care if I don’t make it on the top of the charts
If I was perfect
I would’ve held onto her earlier
But I’ve already come too far
If the world was perfect
You’d be with me right now
And all the bad things that happen to the poor people
Would never happen at all
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
Oh if the world was
a perfect place
Instead of facing each other
And pointing fingers with hate
We would acknowledge each other’s beauty
pray the world was
a perfect place
I’m singing with a prayer
I’m prayin’
and I know
I’m not the only one
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
I could only pray
pray for a better world
pray pray pray
pray pray pray
