【verse1】
選択肢増えるたびに間で揺れる そして意志が揺らぐ
「ラップで行ける」感じる前に学校が後ろ髪を引っ張る
クラスメイトと 笑い合える日常と
先が見えない茨道の二択 どっちを選ぶの
伝わりやすいように大衆に合わせる？
誰かが作った道を歩んでく？
前線に立つため流行を追いかける？
スキルの前にブランドとキャラ付け？
売れずとも自分と向き合い続ける？
王道から外れて獣道に向かう？
流行りに乗らずに作る側になる？
時間かけオリジナルを探し出す？
俺はどっち選ぶ
正義じゃなく自由な選択だ
ある権利に悩むのは贅沢か？
今は選ぶ勉強か制作か
どっちも取れたらいいが
好きじゃ無いんだ 中途半端
常に何かの間 挟まるジレンマ
でも自分の道は自分で決めんだ
【verse2】
どちらも欲しがった執念は理性にも勝って can not be locked up
だが両手に抱えた夢はデカすぎて手のひらから零れ落ちた
寝る間も惜しんで空が白んでもドキュメントに歌詞書いた
周りは恋愛や部活で上手くやってるが俺は暗闇で今もラップやる
歌詞を書いた 曲を録った バトル勝った 成績は右肩下がりだ
同級生には バカにされた 「勉強も出来ないのに調子に乗んな」
毎日のように罵倒 マウント合戦 居心地悪かった
から「普通の俺」と距離を取って
今を優先してるのはラッパーとして生きる「田中太郎Jr.」だ
いつの日か街の通りで逆選び生きた俺とすれ違うかも
その時羨まれるくらいには成功を納めておかないと
普通に就職していた方が幸せなってたかも
そんな「もしも」から目逸らし今目の前の現実に目を向けて歩き出していくところ
行く道を選ぶ事は自由だが責任伴う ただ理解した
正解を選ぶんじゃなく俺が行った道を正解に変えるんだ
タイムマシンは要らないと自信もって言えるくらい
今の俺とこれから選ぶ未来を信じて進みたい

"Who am I?"
This EP is not the story of someone who already has all the answers.
It is a work that portrays the inner world of a rapper who ccarries questions, struggles with uncertainty, faces inner conflicts, and continues to express himself despite everything.
Why do we think?
Why do we rap?
What do we live to leave behind?
"WH0 AM 1" begins with these fundamental questions.
The experiences we have lived through, the words we have received from others, the mistakes we have made, and the choices we have taken.
They never disappear.
They become the "marks" that shape who we are.
However, even when moving forward with strong beliefs, people still hesitate, compare themselves to others, and feel uncertain.
Ideals and reality.
Confidence and inferiority.
The self that wants to move forward and the self that fears doing so.
Caught between these struggles, we continue searching for an answer that belongs only to ourselves.
This EP does not treat fast rap or technical skill itself as the purpose.
They are simply tools of expression born from the process of constantly thinking and questioning.
Polishing words.
Refining skills.
Facing oneself.
And transforming every doubt and weakness into a piece of art.
"WH0 AM 1" is not a declaration from someone who has already become complete.
It is a record of an unfinished person who continues to think, question, and search for who they truly are.
The answer has not been found yet.
But I will never stop asking.
