Lonely nightに不安抱いた夜だって
思い返せば積み重なった今日
待ってたminutesとっくに過ぎた日々
1人書いたリリック誰も真似できないって
息巻いて動かないなら後で遭う痛い目
現実はwork行かなきゃいけないって
振り払う怠惰結ぶタイは苦しい水の中みたいだ
溺れそうになったガキの頃のプール浮き沈みは今もループこれは若さ故のfoolかダチとmove
人を喰ったような態度like a 喰種
住む東京ここで変える仮面なしの表情
開く画面の先で揺れる波
海のない地元だけど溺れない
朝がくる前が1番深い闇
なら光さすtimeも遠くない
苦い思いもどんな過去だってonly mine
踏み込めないおれら作るholy site
街中止まってた足が動きだす
孤独な夜も明けてきた5時半
苦い思いもどんな過去だってonly mine
踏み込めないおれら作るholy site
明かす夜さえ今おれをhold me down
登る朝日がこの先照らし出す
My playlist 止めて閉じるiPhone
I'm on my way まだ途中さ大丈夫
言い聞かせるように逆光の中で葛藤
冷めたcoffeeで流し込んだ煙とmy blow
I feel so bitter沈む夕日に伸びる影をlook
遠く感じる
街じゃあの頃と同じ時を刻むtimeも今はどこか違って
これまでのmy lazy dayまるで嘘のように感じる
過ぎさる灯りを背にI hold still
環状線の上回る思考とbroken wheel
乾ききったサウンドに歌詞載せるlife
I won't kneel 生き方だけならまた上手に
タバコ火付けタイミング
思い出したワンシーン
晴れた午後のpainに
歌詞を書いたベンチ
履き鳴らしたマイジーンズ
羽織るジャケット90's
それはそれでI know
これは俺じゃないなってライミング
苦い思いもどんな過去だってonly mine
踏み込めないおれら作るholy site
街中止まってた足が動きだす
孤独な夜も明けてきた5時半
苦い思いもどんな過去だってonly mine
踏み込めないおれら作るholy site
明かす夜さえ今おれをhold me down
登る朝日がこの先照らし出す

KAIP Releases His Long-Awaited Debut EP, "DEAR ALL"
KAIP, a rapper originally from Nagano Prefecture who is based in Tokyo, has digitally released his debut EP, "DEAR ALL." The four tracks were produced by HUGH THE KID, a producer known for supporting numerous artists, including TOKYO SEKAI. The EP features beats that blend UK garage, neo-soul, and R&B influences. Featuring on the EP is rapper ALMA, a friend of KAIP's since their school days.
This work depicts the will to move forward through one's own choices, even while wavering between ideals and reality, and the past and the present.
In "Just One," he breaks free from inertia and indecision to pursue originality, while "LIFE GOES ON" introspectively expresses the reason for continuing to fight amidst anxiety and conflict. "Dawn (feat. ALMA)" hints at a new beginning beyond past doubts and pain, while "I Feel" depicts the emotional tug-of-war between his hometown and Tokyo, along with his acceptance of himself as an unfinished work.
As these diverse emotions intersect, the album is titled "DEAR ALL" - a phrase reminiscent of the opening line of a business email - to convey the artist's intention to share these feelings with a wide audience.
