Hangul

I’m a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어

I’m a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I’m good, yeah

난생 처음 방탄이란 이름으로 선 무대
삼년 전 첫 무대의 마음을 다시 검문해
여전히 대구 촌놈 랩퍼와 다를게 없었지 but
아마추어란 단어 위에 프로란 단어를 덧썼지
그토록 원하던 무대, 랩을 하며 춤출 때
아직 살아있음을 느껴 피곤하고 고된 출퇴근
따위는 견딜만 해 내 사람들이 지켜보니까
몸이 아파도 버틸만 해 함성들이 밀려오니까
데뷔 전후의 차이점 아이돌과 랩퍼 사이 경계에
살아도 여전히 내 공책엔 라임이 차있어
대기실과 무대 사이에선 펜을 들고 가사를 써
이런 내가 니들 눈에는 뭐가 달라졌어?
Damn, shit 난 여전해
내가 변했다고? 가서 전해
변함없이 본질을 지켜 I’m still rapperman
3년 전과 다름없이 랩하고 노래해 (I’m out)

I’m a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어

I’m a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I’m good, yeah

솔직히 두려웠었어
큰 소린 쳐놨는데 날 증명한다는게
펜과 책만 알던 내가 이제 세상을 놀래킨다는게
I dunno, 세상의 기대치와 너무 비대칭할까봐
두려웠어 나를 믿어줬던 모든 사람들을 배신
하게 될까봐 무거운 어깨를 펴고 첫 무대에 올라
찰나의 짧은 정적, 숨을 골라
내가 지켜봤던 사람들이 이젠 날 지켜보고 있네
항상 올려봤던 TV 속 그들이 지금은 내 밑에
주마등처럼 스칠 틈도 없이
한 번뿐인 연극은 시작돼버렸지
3분 만에 증발한 내 3년의 피땀
피 터지는 마이크와의 기 싸움
몇십초일 뿐이었지만 똑똑히 쏟아내 I’m * real
얌마 니 꿈은 뭐야 나는 랩스타가 되는 거야 can’t you feel
그리고 내려온 순간 그 함성
Yeah I could read your mind, I could read your mind
물음표 대신 미소만
말없이 멤버들은 그저 내 어깨를 두드려줬어
꼭 엊그제 같은데 스무 밤이 흘러버렸어
And let the haters hate on me
걔네가 늘상 해온 일
니네가 키보드 놀릴 동안 난 내 꿈들을 채웠지
선글라스, hairstyle, 왜 욕하는지 알아
어쨌든 스무살에 너보다 잘 나가는 나야
하하

I’m a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어

I’m a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I’m good, yeah

우리가 뛰었던 날, 우리 같이 겪었던 날
3년이란 시간, 모두 하나가 됐던 마음
그렇게 흘린 피땀이 날 적시네
무대가 끝난 뒤 눈물이 번지네
매 순간마다 자신에게 다짐해 초심을 잃지 않게
항상 나답게, 처음의 나에게 부끄럽지 않게
So we go we go we go
더 위로 위로 위로

I’m a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어

I’m a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I’m good, yeah

Translation

I’m a born singer
A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
I’m a born singer
Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)

The very first stage we stood under the name Bangtan
I revisit how we felt about our first stage 3 years ago
Still I’m nothing different from a rural Daegu rapper, but
I wrote the word ‘pro’ top of ‘amateur’
While rapping and dancing on the stage I wanted so badly
I feel yet alive, the tiresome trip to work and back home
I can withstand such troubles because my people are watching me
Because even if my body hurts the cheers come rolling in
Before and after debut difference lies on the boundary between idol and rapper
Living on, my notebook’s still filled with rhymes
In the waiting room and between performanes I hold a pen and write the lyrics
This is how I am, did something about me change before your eyes?
Damn! Shit! I’m still the same
I changed, you say? (What)
Go and tell them
Without change I keep my essence I’m still rapperman
Unchanging since 3 years ago, I rap andd sing, I’m out

I’m a born singer
A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
I’m a born singer
Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)

Truthfully I was afraid, I said I’d show them all but (I was afraid) of proving myself
The fact that a kid who grew up on pens and books is now surprising the world I dunno
I was afraid I’d stand asymmetrical to the world’s expectations
In case I betray all those who had faith in me
I straighten my heavy shoulders and go up my first stage
During the brief static of the moment, I steady my breath
People I’ve been watching are now all watching me
Those I looked up to on TV, right now they’re beneath me
Uh like a kaleidoscope, the one chance act without a moment to brush past had begun
3 year’s battle with the mic doused in blood and sweat evaporates in 3 minutes
It was merely 0 seconds but I pour them out clearly I’m fuckin real
‘Hey kid what’s your dream?’ Mine is to become a rap star can’t you feel
And the moment it drops, those cheers yeah
I could read your mind (uh yeah) I could read your mind
Just smiles instead of question mark
The members patted my shoulder wordlessly
It feels just like the day before yesterday but 20 nights have passed already
And let the haters hate on me
It’s a day job they’ve always been at
While you all were teasing the keyboard, I fulfilled my dreams
Sun glasses, hair style, I know why you ridicule me
In any case, It’s me who’s gone further that you at age 20

I’m a born singer
A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
I’m a born singer
Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)

The days we’ve run through, the days we’ve experienced together
How we became one mind in 3 years’ time
I’m drenched with the blood and sweat I’ve spilled
After the performance tears leak though
Every moment I make sure not to lose my integrity
To always be myself, so I don’t embarass the me from the beginning
So we go we go we go
Higher higher higher

I’m a born singer
A little belated confession (I swear)
The mirage that always seemed so far away is now before my eyes (It’s here)
I’m a born singer
Perhaps it’s an early confession (early confession)
But I’m so happy I’m good (whoa whoa)

I’m a born singer
