공수래공수거 그 말은
The saying ‘come empty, return empty*’,

내게 해당 안 돼 헛수고

The themes in my music, karma for all the success I’ve stacked up since Daegu*²

어쩌다 성공 운 좋아 성공 좆이나 까 잡숴
Somehow succeeded, got lucky and succeeded, fuck off and suck my dick

백악관으로 do fly 빙신 새끼들이 말야
To The White House, do fly, these dumbass fuckers

뭐가 중한지를 몰라 열등감들이 폭발
They don’t know what’s important, inferiority complexes blow up

매번 망했다고 날 걱정하는
You worry, saying my life’s ruined

니 인생이 망한 걸 왜 몰라
Why can’t you see that your own life’s in ruins?

그래 인터넷 세상과 현실은 꽤나 달라
That’s right, the internet world and reality are quite different

현실을 살아 live your life
Live in reality, live your life 

다들 정신 차리라고 맴맴매
Everyone should snap out of it, smack smack smack

전부 귀싸대기를 백백 대
You all should get slapped across the face, a hundred times over

다들 깨끗한 척은 역겹네
They all try to act clean, it’s disgusting 

부디 니 똥부터나 check check 해
Why don’t you check check your shit instead?

수많은 기사와 가십 정보화 시대 속 악인
The villain in the countless news articles and this gossip information era

현실이 시궁창이라면은 벗어나기를 해
If your reality is the sewer, I hope you get out of it

절실히 너조차 잘 되길 기도해
I’ll pray desperately that even you succeed

내 할 일을 해도, 내 갈 길을 가도

On the street, keep that (burn up)

Translators’ Notes: 

* ‘Come empty, return empty’ is a Korean proverb that means to live life without greed, as everyone equally comes to the world empty handed and leaves the world empty handed.

2. Daegu is a city in South Korea that Suga grew up in. 

3. The words ‘viral’ and ‘fire’ are both pronounced as ‘hwa-jae’ in Korean, although spelt differently. ‘Viral’ is spelt as ‘화제’ and ‘fire’ is spelt as ‘화재’.
