譲二の (JOJI)
譲二の (JOJI) Lyrics
I know you wanna leave it all
I know you wanna give up
I know you'll never be yourself
You shouldn't have to hide away
From the crowd night and day
You shouldn't just leave it on the shelf
It's hard to be just you
It's not even that true
All the stuff you say, oh no
The clouds will fade away
Just look up and say "Hey, it's gonna be another new day"
[Verse 2]
Everyone waits for you
They don't care what you go through
They just want to see you at the worst
Stumbling out loud
Watching you fall down
To them, you're just another clown
Hide your privacy
They all have the tendency to go through your personal life
If they can't even respect it
Then why even show it to them
To them, you're just Frank
You're just Frank
About
The intro to it all, “譲二の” samples an infamous track from lo-fi rapper/producer, Joji. Joshua raps over the track with his low quality mic, setting up the feel for the rest of his debut mixtape.
On the surface the song seems to be a simple track about doubt, but if you look closer it can actually be seen as a song written for Joji. In May, 2014, Joji came onto his YouTube Channel to talk about his real life problems and how he had wanted to break away from his online persona for a while. He was then met with backlash from Filthy Frank fans who didn’t care for anything but his raunchy and offensive videos. This song in that context shows Joshua acting on both sides of people; the ones who want to see the real Joji and the ones who just want Frank and Friends.
