San E – I Wanted To Be Successful (성공하고 싶었어) eng+roman lyrics

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I wanted to succeed
I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed

When I immigrated to America as a child
They asked what I wanted to be when I grew up
They said doctor or police
I said I wanted to make a lot of money

I wasn’t joking
But the teacher laughed
I answered to myself
Then I didn’t need to come here in the first place

Maybe that was the start
Of my obsession with success
Cuz I was sick of hand-me-down clothes
Cuz I hated my parents for running away

My young heart hated money so much
But at the same time, prayed for a lot of money
I picked up this used sofa from somewhere
Laying on it as I dreamed of success

I wanted to succeed

I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard

I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed

This is real talk weak side of me, emotional side of me
maybe real me, imagine a soju glass in front of us
This is where I can be honest
I don’t care if my image is ruined or if they accuse me of selling my emotions

People say I’ve changed, I admit it
It took a while to open my closed ears
After I realized, I felt relieved, like a man, I can say
You were right I admit it
I lost my original intentions

A few days ago, I got a message from a fan
Saying that he got to know hiphop through me and kept waiting
But was now disappointed
That I should keep in mind the things I first felt when I rapped
That I shouldn’t be greedy and to walk on this path well

what’s money what’s fame what’s happiness
Why isn’t this thirst going away? What is true success?
As soon as I made money, I bought the fanciest sofa
I laid on it and thought about me as a child

I wanted to succeed

I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money

So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed

Words I was so scared to hear
You changed
Laugh at me all you want when I fall
Some day, someone will laugh at you too

Where does success stop?
If you go up, you keep seeing places that are higher
There was no reason to see how far I’ve came

I just, I just

I wanted to succeed

I did it because I succeeded
I wanted to make a lot of money
I wanted to make a lot of money
So I worked hard
I worked really hard
I thought that would make me happy
I just wanted to succeed

I wanted to succeed
I wanted to succeed
I wanted to succeed
