[Intro]
[정국] I'm a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)
[뷔] I'm a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I'm good

[Verse 1]
[슈가] 난생 처음 방탄이란 이름으로 선 무대
삼년 전 첫무대의 마음을 다시 검문해
여전히 대구 촌놈 랩퍼와 다를게 없었지 but
아마추어란 단어 위에 프로란 단어를 덧 썼지
그토록 원하던 무대 랩을 하며 춤 출때
아직 살아 있음을 느껴 피곤하고 고된 출퇴근
따위는 견딜만해 내사람들이 지켜보니까
몸이 아파도 버틸만해 함성들이 밀려 오니까
데뷔 전후의 차의점 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? (what?) 가서 전해
변함없이 본질을 지켜 I'm still rapperman
3년전과 다름없이 랩하고 노래해 I'm out

[Chorus]
[정국] I'm a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)
[진] I'm a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I'm good

[Verse 2]
[랩몬스터] 솔직해 두려웠었어 큰 소린 쳐놨는데 날 증명한다는게
펜과 책만 알던 애가 이제 세상을 놀래킨다는게 I dunno
세상의 기대치와 너무 비대칭 할까봐 두려웠어
나를 믿어줬던 모든 사람들을 배신하게 될까봐
무건운 어께를 펴고 첫 무대에 올라
차나의 짧은 정적 숨을 골라
내가 지켜봤던 사람들이 이젠 날 지켜보고 있네
항상 올려봤던 TV속 그들이 지금은 내 밑에
Uh 주마등처럼 스칠 틈도 없이 한번뿐인 연극은 시작 돼버렸지
3번만에 증발한 내 3년의 피땀 피터지는 마이크와의 기싸움
몇십초일 뿐이었지만 똑똑히 쏟아내 I'm fucking real
야임마 니 꿈은 뭐야 나는 랩스타가 되는 거야 can't you feel
그리고 내려온 순간 그 함성 yeah I could read your mind (uh yeah)
I could read your mind 물음표 내신 미소만
말없이 멤버들은 그저 내 어깨를 두드렸줬어
꼭 엊그제같은데 스무 밤이 흘러가 버렸어
And let the haters hate on me 걔네가 늘상 해온 일
니네가 키보드 놀릴동안 난 내 꿈들을 채웠지
썬글라스 hairstyle 뭘 욕하는지 알아
어쨌든 스무살에 너보다 잘나가는 나야

[Chorus]
[뷔] I'm a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)
[지민] I'm a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I'm good

[Verse 3]
[제이홉] 우리가 뛰었던 날 우리 같이 겪었던 날
3년이란 시간 모두 하나가 됐던 마음
그렇게 흘린 피땀이 날 적시네
무대가 끝난 뒤 눈물이 번지네
매순간 마다 자신에게 다짐해 초심을 잃지 않게
한상 나답게 처음의 나에게 부끄럽지 않게
So we go we go we go
더 위로 위로 위로

[Chorus]
[All] I'm a born singer 좀 늦어버린 고백 (I swear)
언제나 멀기만 했었던 신기루가 눈 앞에 있어 (여기 있어)
I'm a born singer 어쩌면 이른 고백
그래도 너무 행복해 I'm good

English Translation

[Intro: Jungkook/V]
I'm a born singer just a bit late to confess ( I swear )
There's a mirage right here always far from me ( Yes, it's here )
I'm a born singer just a bit early to confess
Anyway I'm so happy I'm good

[Verse 1: Suga]
(Suga) The very first stage, named as BTS
Remind the mind three years ago I had
Still I was a hick but
I became a pro, no more amateur
When I'm on stage rapping and dancing which I wanted so badly
I feel alive although it's hard and tough
I can handle it cause you're supporting me
I can stand the pain cause I can hear shouting my name
I'm in a boundary between idol and rapper
Still my notes are full of rhymes
I write down the lyrics between on and off stage
Do I look something different I used to be?
Damn shit I am still who I am
Something changed? Go tell them
Nothing changed. I'm still a rapper man
I still rap and sing as 3 years ago. I'm out

[Refrain: Jungkook/Jin]
I'm a born singer just a bit late to confess ( I swear )
There's a mirage right here always far from me ( Yes, it's here )
I'm a born singer just a bit early to confess
Anyway I'm so happy I'm Good

[Verse 2: Rap Monster]
Frankly I was afraid to prove the big mouth I've told
How to surprise the world with something else. I dunno
Maybe I'll let you down
I was afraid of making my people down
But I straighten my shoulders and make my debut
The moment of silence, get my breath back
The people I've seen are now staring at me
Fancy TV stars are now below me
Uh it was a very fast time the only once play has started
It just took 3 minutes to show my 3 years
The fierce fought with mic
Though it's a few seconds, I put everything in. I'm fuckin' real
Hey you, what do you dream? Mine is a rapstar can't you feel
The shouts after the stage, yeah i could read your mind (uh yeah)
I could read your mind, no more questions, just smile
My team just tapped my shoulder
It seems like yesterday, but already past 20 days
And let, the haters on me, it's their job
When you play with the keyboard, I've made my career
Sunglasses, Hair style. know why you insult me
Anyway on 20 years old i'm better than you

[Refrain: V/Jimin]
I'm a born singer just a bit late to confess ( I swear )
There's a mirage right here always far from me ( Yes, it's here )
I'm a born singer just a bit early to confess
Anyway I'm so happy I'm Good

[Verse 3: J-Hope]
Remember the day we've been through
3 years, we were as one
That extremely hard days make me wet
After the stage drop the tears
Every single time swear not to forget the very first intention
Always like me, live up to me
So we go we go we go
More up, up, up

[Outro: All]
I'm a born singer just a bit late to confess ( I swear )
There's a mirage right here always far from me ( Yes, it's here )
I'm a born singer just a bit early to confess
Anyway I'm so happy I'm Good
Yeah, yeah, yeah~

BTS is a South Korean pop (hip-hop influenced) group consisting of RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook. The group’s name is an acronym for ‘Bangtan Sonyeondan (방탄소년단)’ which translates into ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts.’ They also uses ‘Beyond the Scene’ as the English meaning of the acronym.

BTS are heavily involved in their music production, 90 percent of their lyrics are penned by the members and some of them also act as producers.

The group combines various genres of music, ranging from pop sounds like on “I Need U,” hip-hop (“욱 (UGH!)”) or moombahton (“피 땀 눈물 (Blood Sweat & Tears)”), to British rock in “봄날 (Spring Day).” Lyrically, they lean heavily on the struggles and excitement of youth, but they also criticize social issues through songs like “뱁새 (Silver Spoon)” and “Am I Wrong,” causing them to be perceived as one of the more socially conscious k-pop artists.
