Examples
A professional preparing for a high-stakes project presentation
Lock it in, lock it in, I don’t drift
단단히 준비해, 난 흔들리지 않아
I don’t crack, I don’t quit, I just shift
무너지지 않아, 포기하지 않아, 그저 움직일 뿐
When it hits, when it flips, I stay lit
위기가 오고 상황이 바뀌어도 난 빛나고 있어
Built it up, buttoned up, that’s the trick
준비를 마쳤지, 빈틈없이, 그게 바로 비결이야
I keep a plan in my back pocket
뒷주머니엔 언제나 계획이 있어
Mind so calm, yeah, I can’t drop it
평온한 마음, 그래 난 절대 놓치지 않아
Phone stays full, and the tank stays topped
배터리는 가득하고, 연료탱크도 꽉 차 있지
If the day goes wild, I don’t get shocked
하루가 요동쳐도 난 당황하지 않아
Shoes by the door, go-bag ready
문 앞의 신발, 챙겨둔 가방
One deep breath and my hands stay steady
깊은 호흡 한 번에 내 손은 평온해
They say chill, I say I’m cool
사람들은 진정하라지만 난 이미 쿨해
I just do what the panic won’t do
난 공포가 집어삼킬 일들을 미리 해둘 뿐이야
I move first, I don’t wait for the sign
난 먼저 움직여, 신호를 기다리지 않아
I set it straight, so I sleep just fine
미리 정돈해두니 잠도 아주 잘 오지
If the world shakes, if the lights go low
세상이 흔들리고 불이 꺼진다 해도
I’m already set, I’m ready to go

I was set before you hit my door
네가 내 문을 두드리기 전에 난 이미 끝냈으니까
Lock it in, I’m ready, ready
단단히 준비해, 난 준비됐어
No stress on me, I’m steady, steady
스트레스는 없어, 난 평온해
Storm talk loud, I don’t run, I don’t hide
폭풍이 소리쳐도 난 도망치지도, 숨지도 않아
I stay ready on the inside
내면으로부터 난 항상 준비되어 있어
Spare little time, spare little change
작은 시간과 작은 변화들을 아껴둬
I keep a backup for a sudden change
갑작스러운 변화에 대비해 백업을 해두지
If one road breaks, I take the next
길이 막히면 다음 길로 가면 돼
No long regrets, no messy stress
긴 후회도, 엉망이 된 스트레스도 없어
I learned one rule, keep it close
한 가지 규칙을 배웠지, 항상 명심해
Luck is cute, but I do the most
행운은 귀엽지만, 난 최선을 다할 뿐이야
When the air gets sharp, I breathe real slow
공기가 날카로워질 때 난 천천히 숨을 쉬어
I stay prepared, that’s how I glow
준비된 상태를 유지하는 것, 그게 내가 빛나는 방식이지
I move first, I don’t wait for the sign
난 먼저 움직여, 신호를 기다리지 않아
I set it straight, so I sleep just fine
미리 정돈해두니 잠도 아주 잘 오지
If the world shakes, I’m already set
세상이 흔들려도 난 이미 맞출 준비가 됐어
You can bet, you can bet
정말이야, 두고 봐
No last call, no last prayer
마지막 호출도, 마지막 기도도 필요 없어
I stay cool, I stay aware
난 냉정함을 유지하고, 깨어 있어
Built my peace with a little bit daily
매일 조금씩 평화를 쌓아 올렸지
Now the storm can’t shake me
이제 폭풍도 날 흔들 수 없어
Lock it in, lock it in
단단히 준비해, 단단히
Ready before the storm begins
폭풍이 시작되기 전에 이미 준비는 끝났어
