[RM의 Freestyle 4 가사]

누구나 그러하듯
나에게도 돌아가고 싶던 어린시절이 있었지
밥이나 먹고 만화나 보며
모든 다 내 것일 것 같았던 그 시절
그 때 내 고민은 엄마 지갑에서 얼마를 뺄까
이따 겜방가서 뭔 게임을 할까
그게 그 때 내게 왜이리 진지 했었는지
그 때 내게 세상은 꽤 아파도 전부가 다였으니까
그 때 우린 참 꿈이 많았어
과학자 프로게이머부터 대통령
그 많던 꿈이 이제는 다 어디갔니
이제 우리들 꿈은 전부 다 똑같지
그때는 손목에 시계를 안 차도 됐었어
놀다가 그냥 해지면 돌아가면 됐었거든
시간을 볼 필요가 없었던 거지
그렇게 여유가 있었던 거지
그리고 우린 주변을 매일 돌아다녔지
그 때 우리가 잡던 매미와 잠자리
이젠 잠자린 우리에게 다른 걸 의미하지
너도 잘 알잖니
이제 우린 너무 많은 걸 알아버렸어
다시는 그때로 돌아갈 수 없어
내가 나와버린 사회는 너무나 가혹해
너무나 차갑고 너무나 참혹해
내가 만약 그때로 다시 돌아갈 수 있다면
그냥 순수했던 그 때를 더 즐기고 싶어
미래 따위 생각하지 않은채
그냥 거기서 꿈을 꿀래

English Translation
Just like everyone else
There was a childhood I wanted to go back to
Eating and reading comic books
Everything seemed to be mine back then
The worries back then were how much money I can get from my mom
And which game I would play at the PC cafe
Why were those things so serious back then?
Back then, my whole world consisted of that apartment complex
Back then, we had so many dreams
From scientist to pro-gamer, to president
Where did all those many dreams go?
Now all our dreams are all the same
Back then, I didn't need to wear a watch on my wrist
All I had to do was go home when the sun set after playing
There was no need to watch the time
Life was so leisurely
And we used to wander around
All the dragonflies and cicadas we used to catch
Now dragonflies signify something else to us
Now even better at sleeping
Now we’ve come to know too many things
Can't ever go back to that time
The world I've come to is too cruel
It’s so cold and so brutal
If I can go back to that time
I want to enjoy more of that time of simplicity
Without thinking of the future
I want to just dream there

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.
