[Intro: Jung Kook, V]

I'm a born singer, 좀 늦어버린 고백, I swear

I'm a born singer, just a bit late to confess, I swear

언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)

There's a mirage right here always far from me (Yes, it's here)

I'm a born singer, 어쩌면 이른 고백 (이른 고백)

I'm a born singer, just a bit early to confess (Early to confess)

그래도 너무 행복해, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah

Anyway, I'm so happy, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah

[Verse 1: SUGA]

(슈가)

(SUGA)

난생 처음 방탄이란 이름으로 선 무대

The very first stage, named as Bangtan

삼년 전 첫무대의 마음을 다시 검문해

Remind the mind three years ago I had

여전히 대구 촌놈 랩퍼와 다를게 없었지 but

Still I'm nothing different from a rural Daegu rapper but

아마추어란 단어 위에 프로란 단어를 덧 썼지

I became a pro, no more amateur

그토록 원하던 무대 랩을 하며 춤 출때

When I'm on stage rapping and dancing which I wanted so badly

아직 살아 있음을 느껴 피곤하고 고된 출퇴근

I feel alive although it's hard and tough

따위는 견딜만해 내사람들이 지켜보니까

I can handle it cause you're supporting me

몸이 아파도 버틸만해 함성들이 밀려 오니까

I can stand the pain cause I can hear shouting my name

데뷔 전후의 차의점 아이돌과 랩퍼 사이 경계에

I'm in a boundary between idol and rapper

살아도 여전히 내 공책엔 라임이 차있어

Still my notes are full of rhymes

대기실과 무대 사이에선 펜을 들고 가사를 써

I write down the lyrics between on and off stage

이런 내가 니들 눈에는 뭐가 달라졌어?

Do I look something different I used to be?

Damn, shit, 난 여전해

Damn, shit, I am still who I am

내가 변했다고? (What?) 가서 전해

Did someone say I've changed? Go tell them

변함없이 본질을 지켜, I'm still rapperman

Nothing changed, I'm still rapperman

3년전과 다름없이 랩하고 노래해, I'm out

I still rap and sing as three years ago, I'm out

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin]

I'm a born singer, 좀 늦어버린 고백, I swear

I'm a born singer, just a bit late to confess, I swear

언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)

There's a mirage right here always far from me (Yes, it's here)

I'm a born singer, 어쩌면 이른 고백 (이른 고백)

I'm a born singer, just a bit early to confess (Early to confess)

그래도 너무 행복해, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah

Anyway, I'm so happy, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2: RM]

솔직히 두려웠었어 큰 소린 쳐놨는데 날 증명한다는게

Frankly I was afraid to prove the big mouth I've told

펜과 책만 알던 애가 이제 세상을 놀래킨다는게, I dunno

How to surprise the world with something else, I dunno

세상의 기대치와 너무 비대칭 할까봐 두려웠어

Maybe I'll let you down

나를 믿어줬던 모든 사람들을 배신하게 될까봐

I was afraid of making my people down

무거운 어깨를 펴고 첫 무대에 올라

But I straighten my shoulders and make my debut

찰나의 짧은 정적 숨을 골라

The moment of silence, get my breath back

내가 지켜봤던 사람들이 이젠 날 지켜보고 있네

The people I've seen are now staring at me

항상 올려봤던 TV 속 그들이 지금은 내 밑에

Fancy TV stars are now below me

Uh, 주마등처럼 스칠 틈도 없이 한번 뿐인 연극은 시작 돼버렸지

Uh, it was a very fast time the only once play has started

3번만에 증발한 내 3년의 피땀 피 터지는 마이크와의 기싸움

It just took three minutes to show my three years the fierce fought with mic

몇십초일 뿐이었지만 똑똑히 쏟아내, I'm fucking real

Though it's a few seconds, I put everything in, I'm fuckin real

야 임마 니 꿈은 뭐야 나는 랩스타가 되는 거야, can't you feel?

Hey, what is your dream? Mine is a rapstar, can't you feel

그리고 내려온 순간 그 함성, yeah, I could read your mind (Uh, yeah)

The shouts after the stage, yeah, I could read your mind (Uh, yeah)

I could read your mind 물음표 대신 미소만 (Uh, yeah)

I could read your mind, no more questions, just smile (Uh, yeah)

말 없이 멤버들은 그저 내 어깨를 두드려 줬어

My team just tapped my shoulder

꼭 엊그제같은데 스무 밤이 흘러가 버렸어

It seems like yesterday, but already past 20 days

And let the haters hate on me 걔네가 늘상 해온 일

And let the haters hate on me, it's their job

니네가 키보드 놀릴동안 난 내 꿈들을 채웠지

When you play with the keyboard, I've made my career

썬글라스 hairstyle 뭘 욕하는지 알아

Sunglasses, hair style, know why you insult me

어쨌든 스무살에 너보다 잘나가는 나야

Anyway on 20 years old I'm better than you

[Chorus: V, Jimin]

I'm a born singer, 좀 늦어버린 고백, I swear

I'm a born singer, just a bit late to confess, I swear

언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)

There's a mirage right here always far from me (Yes, it's here)

I'm a born singer, 어쩌면 이른 고백 (이른 고백)

I'm a born singer, just a bit early to confess (Early to confess)

그래도 너무 행복해, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah

Anyway, I'm so happy, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah

[Verse 3: j-hope]

우리가 뛰었던 날 우리 같이 겪었던 날

Remember the days we've been through

3년이란 시간 모두 하나가 됐던 마음

Three years, we were as one

그렇게 흘린 피땀이 날 적시네

My blood and sweat drench me

무대가 끝난 뒤 눈물이 번지네

After the stage tears well up in my eyes

매순간 마다 자신에게 다짐해 초심을 잃지 않게

Every single time I swear not to forget the very first intention

항상 나답게 처음의 나에게 부끄럽지 않게

Always myself, live up to myself

So we go, we go, we go (We go)

더 위로 위로 위로 (위로)

Up, up, up (Up)

[Chorus: All]

I'm a born singer, 좀 늦어버린 고백, I swear

I'm a born singer, just a bit late to confess, I swear

언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)

There's a mirage right here always far from me (Yes, it's here)

I'm a born singer, 어쩌면 이른 고백 (이른 고백)

I'm a born singer, just a bit early to confess (Early to confess)

그래도 너무 행복해, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah-yeah

Anyway, I'm so happy, I'm good, whoa, whoa, yeah-yeah
