RM의 Freestyle 3 가사
Life, Lights all those things
여기 처음왔을때
난 혼자였었네
그래서인지
너무나 외로웠었네
그래 난 빅히트 남자 1호 연습생
근데 내 짝은 어디에도 없었네
그렇게 어린 나의 혼자 고독한 독방에서 나를 속박하다 보니까
멤버라고하는 놈들이 오더라
그러다보니까
시간도 흘러가
그러면서 내가 아는 놈들도 늘어가
뭐 그러다 보니까 벌써 스무명이 넘었고
내 나이는 스무살이 넘었고
그리고 3년이 지났네
그 땀들 그 시간들
이제와서 보상 받을 수만 있다면
난 뭐든지 할거야
농담아니고 내 혼까지 팔거야 (그건 아니고)

But you know what?
처음에 있던 멤버는 아니지만
충분히 어디가서 다들 꿀리지 않는 그런 멤버들이야
난 그들이 자랑스러워 가끔은 안쓰러워
또 가끔은 한스러워
난 그들과 함께 여기서 랩스타를 꿈꾸었지
방피디님 말대로 난 여기에 뼈를 묻었지
있는듯 없는듯 그렇게 무덤히
내 존재감을 좀 어필하다 보니
벌써 데뷔가 얼마 안남았네
이런 내 상태 난 감사해
이런 너무 좋은 팀 방탄에
너무나 멋진 리더로 살게 해 주신것
대기실 A4 하얀종이에 방탄소년단 이름이 써있을걸 생각해 보니까
가슴이 떨린다 설렌다 하루종일 마음에 걸린다
어떻게 해야 좋은 인상을 남길까
그런것들을 고민해
내가 좀 불안해 보이네
그렇지만 이렇게 하다보면 난 랩스타가 될 수 있겠지
내가 여기 17살때 그런 백지의 순수한 하얀 마음으로 왔던걸 잊지 않을래
그 초심들은 나와 함께 언제까지나 쭉 가져갈게
방탄데뷔 진짜 얼마 안남았네
이제서야 겨우 깨달았네
그리고 이제 알았어
진짜로 중요했던건 현실도 이상도 아니고
진짜 내안의 나 지금 현재 내가 믿는것, 내가 비는것, 그리고 내가 언젠가 환하게 피는것
그런것들이 진짜 중요했던것
Really
데뷔가 얼마 안남았다


English Translation
[Intro]
Word!
Yeah, youngster
Life, lights
And all those things

Life, lights, all those things, yo
When I first came here, I was alone
Maybe because of that, I was so lonely
Yeah, I’m the first male trainee for Big Hit
But I didn’t have a buddy anywhere
After locking myself in a lonely empty room at a young age
These kids called “members” came
And then, the time passed
And the number of kids I knew increased, haha
And somehow, now there were more than twenty already
And my age was more than twenty
And three years have passed
All that sweat, all that time
If we could be compensated for those, I will do anything
I’m not kidding, I’m even going to sell my soul
Maybe not that

[Verse 2]
But you know what?
They’re not the initial members
But they’re members that would not be lacking, no matter where they go
I’m proud of them
Sometimes I feel sympathetic towards them
Sometimes, I’m deeply sad
I dreamed of being a rap star with them here
Just like Bang PD-nim said, I buried my roots here
Not causing problems, going with the flow
Trying to appeal my presence all this time
And now, the debut is not far off
I’m thankful to the company
To such a good team, Bangtan
To allow me to live as a cool leader for them
To think that BTS will be written on the white A4 page on dressing room door
It makes my heart race
Makes me excited
It fills my heart all day
How will I leave a good impression?

I worry about things like that

I seem a bit insecure
But if I keep going like this, someday I’ll be a rap star
I won’t forget how I came with my untainted heart like a blank page when I was seventeen
Those initial feelings
I’ll carry with me always
BTS debut is really only a short time off now..I only realize now
And I just now realized that the important thing is not the ideals or reality
But the things that I trust in now
And the things I wish for
And that I will someday bloom brightly
These things were more important

….Ah! Really..
The debut is really not far off!
Oh, yeah..

RM

RM, was born in 1994 as Kim Namjoon (김남준), in Dongjak, South Korean (later, he grew up in Ilsan). He is a rapper, songwriter, composer, and producer. He is also known as the leader of the South Korean group BTS.

At thirteen years old, Namjoon, under the stage name Runch Randa, was a part of the Seoul underground hip-hop scene and had collaborated with popular artists like Zico and Ugly Duck. South Korean rapper and entertainer Sleepy then discovered his talent during an underground crew audition. Sleepy linked the middle school student to Big Hit Entertainment. “Hitman” Bang, the CEO of Big Hit Entertainment, formed BTS because of Namjoon.

Namjoon debuted with BTS in 2013 under the name Rap Monster. As of 2017 he now goes by RM because it fits him better as an adult. As the leader of the group, RM is responsible for connecting the group’s aspirations to its business, mediating discords among members, and shaping the musicality of the group along with other members and producers. RM also acts as a songwriter, composer and producer for many BTS songs.
