Lyric

Paradox/Nazo

Moment Joon, Fisong

Sometimes 믿지 못했어 거울안에 비치는 모습이

相反する I understand 息を吐き吸うように

自分の中にもう1人いて

波に逆らうように泳ぐ

I'm like a paradox

I'm a paradox

Sometimes 믿지 못했어 거울안에 비치는 모습이

相反する I understand 息を吐き吸うように

自分の中にもう1人いて

波に逆らうように泳ぐ

I'm like a paradox

I'm a paradox

Alone at the top of the mountain that I built, going loco

Guess I should broaden my circle

But not when I got few relationships I gotta fucking square up

You suggest I should soften my edge, ok fair enough

I let them in, I invite

I'm scared and I'm thrilled that they make me feel alive

Tho I still hate it when some of them tryna enlighten me

Honestly I wish someone could have guided me

Do I need a scapegoat or a hero

Either way that man is in the mirror

Man, you look like a type of guy who's ready to give the world your statement

Full of visions, yet barely out your mom's basement

But it's not like things are better here over ground

I've met your future heroes, they quarrel over crowns

And seats and thrones

They've been robbing poor souls who just

Seek their homes, in airpods and headphones

They remind me of you, live and die by rappers' words

But now I see it's a pure extortion man, it really hurts

But then again, it is not like I'm against getting yens

I just want look like I don't care, guess I'm worse

Self irony is in fashion

Should I treat this as a pure transaction?

So anytime when they feel like they're deceived

I can flash my Yukicheese and tell them I got receipts

Play the damn game or be played

Either go to hall of fame or be Thanos'ed then you fade

But it wasn't like this at the start

I should rediscover what really moves my heart

In that regard yeah I'm moving forward, though I'm walking backwards

Bumping drill beats while rapping like Wez Atlas

Sometimes 믿지 못했어 거울안에 비치는 모습이

相反する I understand 息を吐き吸うように

自分の中にもう1人いて

波に逆らうように泳ぐ

I'm like a paradox

I'm a paradox

Sometimes 믿지 못했어 거울안에 비치는 모습이

相反する I understand 息を吐き吸うように

自分の中にもう1人いて

波に逆らうように泳ぐ

I'm like a paradox

I'm a paradox

    Moment Joon, Fisong

A collaborative album by rappers Moment Joon and Fisong, active in Osaka. As immigrants and Zainichi Koreans, they freely traverse Japanese, English, and Korean in their lyrics, bouncing over a soundscape that represents today's hip-hop, encompassing everything from Drill to Neo-Boom Bap, Crunk, Lo-fi, and Detroit styles. The album is a perfect blend of homage to the history of hip-hop and unprecedented innovation, comprising 13 tracks that breathe both the new and the old. It touches on music, roots, anger, politics, Japan, trauma, self-reflection, history, guilt, hope, and the human connections that generate all these elements. The Hip-Hop Album is born out of the connection between two individuals who are different yet similar.
