Don't Mean Much
Kingo, DinoJr.
Performing on stages that I have dreamed of
From Shimokitz to Shinjuku to Shibuya
Finally getting recognition that I worked for
Strangers buying me liquor, shit I don’t know ya
Signing these pages, rolling the dice again
Old school like Sean Price, “departing but sending”
My fate is your fate, you know we all gon’ make it
Groove undeniable you better stop pretending
Features on features you know I’ll teach you all creatures
Become a preacher of the vanguard’s dominating procedure
And the fresh flows’ giving the best glow
I’ve reached the plateau, you know this is the vibe you on
Representing the Shinjuku underground scene
From the playlists, radio, to the worldwide scene
Fiend of the mic, and I’m the act of the night
Watch the spotlight, ignite the fire, in the twilight
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you, no
“All the mentions on the ‘gram don’t mean much”
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you, no
“Features that I get, don’t mean much”
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you, no
“All the mentions on the ‘gram don’t mean much”
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you, no
“You better stop playing right now”
足りないもんばっか嘆いたり
Talking bout my aspiration, shit taking
あなたの気引く手がかり
Ayo, what can I say? 首もたげて
はじまりを俯瞰する鳥
Nah, ain’t no problem なんら気にしない
あなたがいないなら意味がない
フェーダー押し上げる 脳裏
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
(Yeah, don’t mean much hey, don’t mean much hey, come on)
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
(Yeah, don’t mean much, don’t mean much)
It ain’t shit if you ain’t hitting me back
Years later with that stacks on stacks
Couple of bills after a gig, can’t pay the rent just yet
Facing reality, but still chasing my dreams so yes
I could be hallucinated by the industry
And we just couple of kids, choosing foolishness, but
If I have a blast through this path I’m on
That’s what I came to do, so baby hold on a minute and sing
はみ出しものには 燃え上がる花束を!
ヘラヘラしてたら It's over
歌い続けるなら 疑いを捨てるなよ
鵜呑みにしてたら It's over
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you
“All the mentions on the ‘gram don’t mean much”
But it ain’t shit if I ain’t got you
“Features that I get, don’t mean much”
足りないもんばっか嘆いたり
Talking bout my aspiration, shit taking
あなたの気引く手がかり
Ayo, what can I say? 首もたげて
はじまりを俯瞰する鳥
Nah, ain’t no problem なんら気にしない
あなたがいないなら意味がない
フェーダー押し上げる 脳裏
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
Don’t, don’t don’t, don’t mean much
Couple of kids with no clue
But we both know the truth
Know I’m always making moves
But it’s all just for you
Couple of kids with no clue
But we both know the truth
Know I’m always making moves
But it’s all just for you

Always Around
Kingo, A.G.O
Bilingual rapper Kingo, who is fluent in two languages (English and Japanese) and will be performing at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL 2023 in the "ROOKIE A GO-GO" slot, has completed his memorable first EP "Bandages".
The album is a compilation of songs that Kingo has been making since 2022, and is a culmination of his turbulent days, including his street live performances, working with music producers he met for the first time, and his appearance at Fuji Rock.
The title "Bandages" means "bandage" in English, and Kingo says, "For me, making music is a healing process. Making the songs on this EP was like putting a bandage on a wound I had. Starting with M5 "Always Around," the songs on this EP are songs that reflect his own diverse life experiences and the career he has built up as an artist today.
