Original song
JahJahWay:
You still want to make more and more money
You still want to stand with Da Mi and Han Ma
The shiniest prettiest leather jackets
In matching colors? Ha, quit playing
It's not just me saying it, this ain't America here
Everyone's dressed to kill, but how many can really play music?
If you're just here to play around
Then you better not dare stand next to IN3 / better not get up in our space
Real Beijing Hip Hop lovers got nothing to do with you
Get your piece-of-shit CD's out of my sight
I'll teach you what it means to have Beijing attitude / I'll give you some of that Beijing rage
Show you the real Beijing Hip Hop roots
Fuck! I know lots of MC's don't like to hear that
Doesn't matter, this ice-cold mic wants to stay in my hands
I'm talking about you, man
I don't have the time to listen to your bullshit
I'm only here for the music, I hate doing business
I know you made a lot of money
But I just want to make records
I have paid for it with everything
My pain, sorrows, and happiness
I have lost so much, but I've learned to be persistent
As I face down this road, I'm willing to give up anything
Chen Haoran:
We call ourselves IN3 because the world is too dark (阴)
Stay vigilant, and don't let anyone trick or hurt (阴)you
IN3 Life is too bleak
America is already done for
No point in pursuing it
IN3 Taking you back to the street
Spitting these rhymes of freedom
Making you feel the coolest
IN3 We are Beijing Hip Hop
Follow us back down to the underground
You with your buying and selling bullshit , your range never changes
You just want my thing, you look for me, but I'm not here
Beijing's range extends past China and beyond
It will never disappear, its spirit is eternal
You won't be Hip Hop no matter where you are
You wear that red yellow and green but don't know what it means
Quit spewing shit, quit hawking you're trash CD's
I've heard your 'principles' and I don't buy what you sell
Big white tshirts and baggy pants, I've see them all before
Those Air Forces and gold teeth, I don't even wanna mention
Take care of your girl
Take care of your car
If someone's knocked up with my child, well I'm not motherfucking responsible
MC on stage is rhyming
DJ behind him is spinning
No matter how hard this road gets
We will never stop going
You admire our talent
You need IN3's help
I only have love for my brothers
Don't get me wrong
We don't want to find [?] all over the street so stop your pretending
Those unruly foreigners have all been destroyed by IN3
I might run with the Niu Bi, but I'll never sing to a Bi
If a Niu Bi messes with me, well let's see who
Ten hip-hop acts, nine of them are trash
Pretty girls see IN3 and they bend right over
Give you some liquor and you go [chug chug chug]
Why don't you have some kids and [plunk plunk plunk] it's all the same
Fuck it, the world's all messed up
Heads stuck so far up your asses, you call it fragrant
Songs bragging about the guns you pack / Well I call bull shit
You flinch when you see me / fumble in my pocket for a cigarette
Bitch
Meng Guodong:
IN3 is for and by the people
We don't have much face
But when we show up, we put the fakes and the rich fucks to shame
IN3 We're not here for the money
Wherever the real Chinese Hip Hop is we will be there
IN3 Don't screw me and I won't screw you
I see the people close to me getting hurt and bullied
IN3 channels true feelings into our songs
Telling you about everything that we see
IN3 is driven by our own energy
While you, you are neither east nor west, neither here nor there
Can't even speak proper Chinese, but you're already hyping yourself up
This isn't pop music, all package no substance
Hip Hop comes from the streets, we pack quality into every verse
Take note - the new rules have been established
Don't bring your fake raps to my stage
Don't you profit off this cultural gold rush
Your fake ideals are hardly reliable
You may get along with everyone
But no one likes the weak willed and the easily influenced
[unknown phrase]
Separated by time-zone differences, some people won't speak the truth
You've got less talent than cash, you're much too self-assured
You say you rep Beijing, well no one buys your bluff
Try to copy those rap skills that you're so jealous of, but you can't even remember the steps
So you better figure things out
Because we notice these things
You like to relax and dance to the rhythm
Don't indulge in front of IN3
You understand our words, don't play deaf
Ha! Ha! Idiots! Are you mad?
I'm not talking about you!
Why do you look so worried there?
Don't worry, we won't say your name
IN3 will let you save face
You keep up like this, you'll encounter worse!
