Lyrics to Thank You by Jason Chen x ChaChi

(Verse 1)
Been thinking about all the days you were
Right by my side
Been thinking about how you never
Left me behind
And all of the things that you said to
Help me ease my mind
And I don’t know where I’d be
Without you in my life

(Prechorus 1)
Now I just
Wanna tell you how much
I appreciate your love

(Chorus)
So I’ll be there when you call
Pick you up when you fall
And if you ever get lonely
I’ll be there in a heartbeat

This song is for you
For everything we’ve been through
It’s been so long overdue
I just wanna say
Thank You

(Verse 2)
Been trav’ling this road for so long
We’re still going strong
Cuz without you here I’d be nothing
Nothing at all
Even when times were bad you believed in me
And now I’m standing tall
And I just wanna thank you
For sticking through it all

[Prechorus 2]
Now I just
Wanna show you how much
I appreciate your love

[Chorus]

I know it’s not easy
but you were there from the start

I’ll take the kindness you’ve shown me
share the love, and the strength
(Pay it forward) Be all we can be

[Chorus]

Lyrics to You and I by Jerry Jean x Christina Li

I’ve been stuck in everyday
Holding to the past
Trying to forget, but something’s in the way.

Memories locked under my bed
Through away the key
No good I know
Can’t find a way to let it go.

ooohh
Then we collided
The storm subsided.

CHORUS:
You, taking my breath away
And you, stealing my heart each day
I, I’ll give you my all
I’ll give you mine
No one can deny
It’s you and I
You and I
You and I
You and I.

Took some time, but now we’re here
Unlocking every door
You held me close
I found a way to let it go.

All my walls are coming down
You broke into my life
Captured me
Made me see the man I could be.

Oooh
Then we collided
The storm subsided.

CHORUS

It’s a twisted road
A heavy load
You can get lost on your way.

Just keep me close
Then we’ll know
If we fall down,
We won’t go down alone.

CHORUS 2x

Lyrics to Chill by Snacky Chan x Nevermind

Intro
Chan: Ay yo what’s up man, how you doin?
요새 어때 친구? 잘 지내?
Nevermind: What’s good Big Chan?
빅챈 잘 지내?
Chan: I’m chillin man sh*t.. my boss is stressin me the f*ck out tho..
잘 지내 근데 내 상사가 날 짜증나게 해
Nevermind: Oh word?
아 진짜?
Chan: Yeah

Nevermind: You just gotta chill dude
신경 쓰지마 친구
Chan: I’m tryin to chill but I can’t chill cuz that muhfugga get on my nerves sh*t
그러려고 노력하는데 그 개 같은 자식이 계속 신경 쓰이네
Nevermind: Alright then uh..just listen to this then
음… 알았어 그럼 이거 들어봐
Chan: Aight
좋아

Nevermind (Verse 1)
Nowadays all I do is worry and stress
요새 스트레스랑 걱정밖에 없어
I try to clear my mind but it’s blurry at best
편하게 있고 싶지만 그게 잘 안돼
Wish I could slow the time but still hurry the steps
시간만 느리게 가고 내 걸음은 빠르게 하고 싶어
Between unknown to full-blown notorious threat
지금은 유명하지 않지만 유명해질 때까지
At the same time expect a few not to get this
이걸 이해할 수 있는 사람은 몇 없을꺼야
The best is to stay cool, calm, collected
제일 좋은 건 그냥 편안히 있는거야
Till the time my grind and tools I’ve perfected
내 노력과 실력이 완벽하게 됐을 때
Align to define what my view of success is
난 아마 성공을 알게 될꺼야
Till then I just gotta patiently chill
그때까진 난 그냥 편히 있을꺼야
Stay hungry and wait for my plate to be filled
내 그릇이 가득 채워질 때까진 계속 배고파야 해
And make em salivate just for a taste of my skill
그리고 사람들이 내 실력을 맛보고 싶어서 침 흘리게 만들꺼야
Then show these swine fools just what it takes to be ill
대단한 사람이 되려면 얼마나 노력해야 하는지 보여줄꺼야
Elevating is still the goal I pursue
올라가는건 여전히 내 목표야
I’m trying to fly high before life is through
난 죽기 전에까지 높이 날려고 노력해
And rise through the clouds till all skies are blue
그리고 하늘이 모두 파란색이 될때까지 구름을 뚫고 올라갈꺼야
But I guess for right now, all I can do is…
하지만 지금 내가 할 수 있는건…

Chorus
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just chill…
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just chill…

Chan (Verse 2)
No blunts on the scene so it’s nicotine
여긴 두꺼운 시가가 없으니까 그냥 담배를 펴
Take a puff and pretend that I’m hittin green
그냥 담배를 피우고 기분 좋은 상상을 하지
Yo I’d die in my sleep just to live a dream
꿈을 살리기 위해 난 자면서 죽을 수도 있어
cuz where I’m at it’s whack like a picture with no filtering
왜냐하면 내 인생은 지금 보정 없는 사진처럼 못나 보이기 때문에
Got spam in my inbox
내 메일에 스팸메일이 있고
So stressed SNS got me soundin like Rick Ross
SNS 때문 Rick Ross처럼 소리내지
담배처럼 나는 한숨 펴
like a slave to his master gotta say ‘Yessur’
주인에게 노예가 얘기하듯 ‘옛썰’
to the boss
하고 상사한테 해야해
what’s the cost?
내가 뭘 포기 해야하지?
of this gear, that I floss
이런 멋진 옷들을 입으려면
Had a dream, got divorced for that Nike force
꿈이 있었지만 나이키 때문에 꿈과 이혼해 버렸지
Wanna dance like the stars, taste caviar
연예인처럼 춤추고 싶고 캐비어도 먹고 싶어
Penthouse put it T.O.N.Y. on the top of New York
뉴욕에서 제일 비싼 펜트하우스에서 살고 싶어
My friends wanna chill out, drink, but wait..
내 친구들은 나랑 같이 놀고 싶어해 하지만…
My wife’ll start spazzin if I stay out late
내가 늦게까지 돌아다니면 내 부인은 화가 나겠지
Stress what a mess I got lots to do
스트레스야 정말 엉망이지 난 해야 할 일이 많다고
Nevermind kid remind me what I got to do and just..
이봐 내가 뭘 해야될지 좀 상기 시켜줘

Chorus
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just chill…
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just chill…

Nevermind (Verse 3)
Nowadays I tend to look to all of the years
요새 내 과거를 많이 떠올려
I’ve walked a different road from all of my peers
내 친구들과는 다른 길을 걸었지
Watching everybody go from just a job to career
친구들이 취직해서 커리어를 쌓는걸 구경만 하고 있지
While I stand alone with just my thoughts and ideas
난 그저 내 생각과 아이디어들과 함께 서 있을 뿐이야

Chan (Verse 4)
But you ain’t alone Never, in the pain there’s pleasure
하지만 넌 혼자가 아냐, 그 고통 속에 기쁨이 있어
memories I’ll treasure, not the fame or cheddar
내 보물은 돈이나 명성이 아니라 내 추억이야
Gotta chill like a fridge
냉장고처럼 냉정을 유지해야 해
yo the bizz
내 일들 때문에
got me feelin like Young Jay ‘Can I live?’
어린 Jay-Z가 말했던 것처럼 ‘살 수 있어?'(‘행복할 수 있어?’)를 떠올리게 되

Nevermind (Verse 5)
Like a young candidate in an old man’s politics
늙은 정치인들 사이의 어린 후보자처럼
Trying to change the game but at the same time I fall in it
세상을 바꾸려고 노력하지만 잘 안될 때도 있어
About to call it quits – (disappeared at the wrong time
이제 포기해야 할 것 같아 (이제 포기하면 안되
On a lonely road) – crystal clear when the song shines
외로운 길을 가야해) 노래가 들리면 완전히 깨끗해져

Chan (Verse 6)
Long lines “What’s that?”
길게 늘어선 줄 좀 봐!
Dude got his nutsack rubbin on my shoulder cuz the whole damn bus packed
버스가 너무 꽉차서 내 어깨에 어떤 자식의 중요한 부분이 닿는군

Nevermind (Verse 7)
Now we’re on the Coltrane with Miles on the playlist
이제 우린 마일즈를 들으면서 지하철을 타지

Chan (Verse 8)
Grey clouds gone just smile when you play this
이 노래를 들으면 어두운 구름은 걷히고 그냥 웃게 될꺼야

Chorus
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just
Chill… relax your mind
쉬어… 신경 쓰지 마
Sit back and vibe while the track unwinds and just
편히 누워서 이 음악을 느껴
Chill…
쉬어…
아무 걱정 없이
Like you have no worries
고민이 하나도 없는 듯이 just chill…
Like there’s nothing to stress about, just chill…
