HAJIMARI Lyrics (English Translation) – NENE

HAJIMARI (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Just setting the tone, warming up, and getting attention.

[Verse 1]
NENE comes out swinging, calling out a specific music company for being shady. She points out how the label uses fake accounts to make themselves look better online and even hints at serious scandals involving their staff. She accuses them of stealing ideas from smaller creators who stay quiet because they don’t have power. She’s basically saying, “If you’re not on my level, don’t even step into my space.” She’s confident in her skills and makes it clear she’s not here for weak music or fake flexing. While others try to impress with money or popularity, she’s proud to work with truly creative people. She compares them to puppets—well-rehearsed but lacking soul or originality. NENE takes shots at their award wins and questions how their pop songs are even considered hip-hop. It’s a direct challenge to the industry’s standards and the way image often wins over talent. She’s not just throwing shade—she’s demanding a reality check.

[Chorus]
NENE questions why the music made by these industry figures isn’t actually connecting with fans. Despite all the promotion and polish, it feels empty. She’s asking, “This is your big plan?”

[Verse 2]
She’s saying if you’re in a different game, play by different rules—don’t just take everything for yourself. She criticizes how the industry showers money around only when it benefits them. She brings up how young people lose hope because there’s no real inspiration left. Then, she talks about the toxic behavior of their fans—how they lash out easily and get offended when faced with truth. She mocks how shallow it all is—just chasing numbers and drama instead of real feeling. Even without kids or a typical life, she’s touring and doing what she loves. Meanwhile, others hide behind screens, angry for no reason. She’s clearly happy and fulfilled, but confused why people so stuck in negativity keep coming after her.

[Chorus]
Once again, she highlights how their songs are missing the mark. They may look successful on paper, but the music doesn’t touch anyone. And honestly, if this is the business model, she wants nothing to do with it.

[Verse 3]
Here she’s reminding everyone that she’s always been a strong rapper—not someone who steps on others to get ahead. She tells critics to go back and actually listen to her music before judging. She calls out others for using recycled lines and being just as shallow as the companies backing them. Saying “respect” doesn’t mean much when your whole career is built on empty showmanship. She throws a jab at someone being financially supported just for show, hinting that they’re more of a social media figure than an artist. She mixes sarcasm and punchlines, saying she’s here to shake things up, not sit on the sidelines. It’s her way of flexing skill and confidence while still keeping it real.

[Chorus]
Same message again—she’s not buying the hype. These songs don’t hit, and the fans aren’t really feeling them. And if this is the industry’s big plan, she’s calling it out as fake and harmful.

[Verse 4]
NENE says she’ll keep speaking up, even if no one else does. She believes in her art and calls out the system for pushing clout-chasing over creativity. She wants people to remember her name—not for drama, but because she stands for something real. She draws a line between those who make music from emotion and those who make it just to sell. It’s not about fame or numbers to her—it’s about passion and truth. She knows the hard work that goes into making one real track, and she’s tired of the soulless, copy-paste music being rewarded. She calls out how these companies and judges push down talented newcomers while pretending to care. She accuses them of ignoring real points and giving meaningless replies. Despite everything, she finds peace in making music. It saved her, and she’s determined not to let the industry take that away. She wants listeners to really feel her songs, not just skim through them. She dreams of a world where originality and real energy matter again—and where deserving rappers get their chance instead of fake hip-hop acts getting all the glory.

[Outro]
She’s emotionally overwhelmed, full of things she wants to express, but realizes some of it might not even be worth saying. So she stops there—done for now.
