GBAD (Number_i Remix) Lyrics

[Intro]
Incoming

[Chorus]
Life is great (You son of a—)
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
But gotta be a dick sometimes
Life is great
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
But gotta be a dick sometimes

[Verse 1]
Life is great when peace comes to your heart
A ride to find a place for your soul to park
But now it’s hard, the game got no room for art
Watch the line ’cause the players can’t tell black, white apart
Spent time for talks, hope the shit would blend
I even tried to change myself to another man, mm
Things never land according to plan
Devils never want to understand

[Chorus]
Life is great
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
But gotta be a dick sometimes
Life is great
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
But gotta be a dick sometimes

[Verse 2]
えーっとそうだまずは こんにちは
俺らの言ったとおり
止まる暇はない ケタ違い
外野黙るシステム
あの時あの日の軽々しく笑ってる皆言う無理
すれ違うあなたへ
聞こえてっか
Hater, my hater
足掬うが 落とす母数
救うが音と進める
俺らが首位を占める
届くのが Number_i
Mighty な売人が iLY になる前に
超行儀いいんじゃ埋まんないページ
Rap して変身 上がるステージ
妬めば妬むほど 俺に金棒
なら誰もかれもみんな

[Chorus]
Life is great
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
Just gotta be a dick sometimes

[Verse 3]
New phone, who this?
New car, who this?
I got the AU750 wrapped around my wrist
Don’t fuck about mood, don’t mean to be rude
But can you read between the lines?
I gotta watch the ones I keep around me
All them eyes still lowkey doubt me
I see the things they say about me
I guess I’m still the topic of discussion
Did I come this far for nothing?
Feels like I’m still missing something, aah

[Chorus]
(Life is great)
Life is great (Oh)
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
Life is great
Just gotta be a dick sometimes
You only live once
Just gotta be a (—dick sometimes!)

[Outro]
Oh, shit (Haha)
That’s a vibe, that’s a vibe, yo
Some type, some typa—

GBAD (Number_i Remix) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The brief opening line “Incoming” builds anticipation and sets an assertive tone, signaling the arrival of something unfiltered, energetic, and possibly controversial. It primes the listener for the intense, confident verses that follow.

[Chorus]
Jackson Wang uses the chorus as a rebellious mantra, emphasizing that thriving in today’s world sometimes means adopting an unapologetically tough exterior. “Being a dick” is a metaphor for asserting boundaries, maintaining control, and protecting peace—especially when authenticity is misread as arrogance.

[Verse 1]
Jackson reflects on the conflict between personal peace and industry demands. He expresses a desire to create from the heart, but laments how the system lacks space for genuine art. His effort to adapt and compromise—changing into “another man”—only leads to further disillusionment. The lines convey exhaustion with facades and the emotional toll of playing a rigged game.

[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces Jackson’s resolve. Each return to this refrain serves as both a reminder and a justification—self-protection often requires boldness, and being misunderstood is the cost of authenticity.

[Verse 2]
Number_i takes over with a fiery verse in Japanese, addressing skeptics and haters head-on. They reject conformity, showcasing how they’ve risen above doubt and ridicule. With rapid-fire bars, they assert dominance (“俺らが首位を占める”) and pride in their journey. The verse is both a flex and a declaration of purpose, blending resilience with ambition while spotlighting cultural identity and transformation through rap.

[Chorus]
This chorus iteration keeps the energy consistent, reinforcing the central theme of owning one’s strength without apology. The repetition adds weight to the song’s core belief—that resilience requires unwavering self-assurance.

[Verse 3]
Jackson returns with a more introspective tone. He reflects on external success—new phone, new car—but questions whether material growth has filled internal voids. Doubt and isolation linger, as he continues to feel misjudged and misunderstood. The verse touches on paranoia, fame, and emotional fatigue, revealing the loneliness behind the bravado.

[Chorus]
The final chorus bursts with conviction and sonic intensity. The emotional gravity builds as the song nears its end, driving home that beneath the bold exterior is a constant battle for clarity, dignity, and space to simply be.

[Outro]
With a playful “Oh, shit” and laughter, the outro offers release and levity. It signals that despite the heavy truths revealed, Jackson and Number_i remain unfazed—still vibing, still defying, and still pushing forward.
