[Couplet 1 : OrelSan & SDM]
In this part, OrelSan starts by calling out people who pretend to be the best but clearly aren’t. He points out that some people think they’re talented just because they hang out with weak competitors, but real skill and success come from effort, dedication, and persistence. He contrasts his own journey with those pretenders, showing that he’s been through tough times, faced challenges, and learned from them, which made him stronger. He talks about running away from problems before, avoiding love, and not knowing how to express emotions, but now he faces life more consciously. He admits that life is inherently difficult, and everyone deals with struggles whether they want to or not. OrelSan reflects on his early days in music, sleeping on benches during mixtape sessions, grinding hard without recognition, and slowly climbing up, which makes his current success feel earned. He talks about refusing easy opportunities and choosing his own path, showing self-control and focus. He also points out that the music industry is full of fake friends and betrayal, comparing them to dangerous snakes and predators, yet he remains alert and aware of his surroundings.

He talks about starting from the bottom with a friend, struggling, and building a career from scratch, emphasizing that success only comes through hard work, focus, and persistence. He mixes details about flashy lifestyle, wealth, and personal achievements with lessons about effort and reality: nothing comes for free, and people who expect it are mistaken.

[Outro : OrelSan]
In the outro, OrelSan reflects more deeply on life and ambition. He notices that everyone around him wants fame, influence, or success in some way—whether as artists, influencers, or athletes—and he admits he once chased those things too but managed to survive. He realizes that what seemed like huge achievements at first were often smaller than imagined, and he no longer feels the need to prove himself to anyone. He talks about the mix of good and toxic things in life, and how navigating that balance is tricky. There’s humor and seriousness in his tone: he wants others to be happy and leave him alone, showing both self-awareness and a touch of selfishness. He acknowledges that life’s challenges are sometimes exaggerated, and he chooses to focus on what matters for him personally rather than what others expect. He also hints at the thin line between being funny and being foolish, suggesting awareness and caution in social interactions. Overall, this part emphasizes self-knowledge, freedom, and clarity, highlighting a mindset of confidence, reflection, and prioritizing personal growth and happiness over external validation.
