MARONI

どけよlame boy邪魔だ

お前のオチはワンパターン

ダチが飲んでる酒場

俺も合流した今

話はすべて裸

Talking about way To 墓場

終われない凡人のままじゃ

終わるお前は恥な

暗闇中必死になって探すlight

Life is full of lies

唇噛み締めながらもsay I’m fine

But Some people 崖落ちでdie

金持ちはsmile

溢れるsuicide この街赤で照らすmoon light

What I want to do

時に見失う

とりあえず先走る

でもやっぱこれも違う

けどdon’t kill my self

群れがどこに動いても俺は俺のままでどきません

問題児でほんとすんません

天井のない

人生は最高だ羽を伸ばし自由に

You can fly

大事な仲間家族にもみせたい

富豪なlife

日頃自分を隠し個性を殺し

それに意味はない

ただ無意味にdie

I Don’t wanna be like zombie

でもこの社会じゃ保てない正気

酒にタバコ薬わかるぜbro シラフじゃ苦しい

毎日keep to the fight But still ギリギリなmind

神様にもききたい For what is this fuckin Life Yeah

We just running from the dark All 24

振り返れば弱者は既にsold

孤独になった夜はfeel so Heavy cold

I just running for get but don’t forget what I really want

We just running from the dark All 24

振り返れば弱者は既にsold

孤独になった夜はfeel so Heavy cold

I just running for get but don’t forget what I really want

Carrying three years of challenges, moving toward the next destination.

*Passport*, a mixtape by MARONI, features four tracks: "GATE23," "GATE24," and "GATE25"-reimagined versions of the songs submitted to *RAPSTAR* between 2023 and 2025-along with the new title track, "Passport." It serves as a re-articulation of the aspirations poured into each year's submission, captured through the lens of his current artistic expression.

The final, titular track was born following his elimination during the *RAPSTAR 2026* cypher, inspired by the words of the judges. It reflects on the tension felt with every renewal of his residence card, the homeland left across the sea, and the days shared with family and friends. Likening each of these experiences to a stamp in a passport, he sings of the path that lies ahead.

Even after the outcomes of these challenges are revealed, life-and music-must go on. *Passport* gathers the footprints of his journey thus far, serving as a stepping stone for MARONI-together with those who support him-to venture toward places yet unseen.
