[RM의 The Rap Monster 가사]
[Intro]
BigHit represents
The Rap Monster

[Verse 1]
Born in 일산, 일산부터 압구정까지
다 뻑가게 만들어 절대 안 뺏겨 내 주전 자리
남자로 태어나 여기까지 왔건만 뭘 주저하리
한다면 해 ayo DJ let's go get it poppin'
(reset)

[Verse 2]
Keep it down, 끌림은 태지와 이지아
비밀이야 비트는 슈프림, 난 팀이다
또 내 이름은 남준 김이야 I'm really hot
잘봐봐라 니네 랩들은 한 번 듣고 까먹는 치매
난 케빈처럼 틀 때마다 이 무대를 온통 나 나홀로 지배
영 힙합 열풍을 선도할 차세대 랩스타
랩밖에 모르는 놈이라 I just can't stop
늘 내맘대로 써내리고 뱉고 날을 새워 증명했던 훅가요's not over
이미 수많은 이들의 두 귀를 다 훔쳐버렸지 멈출 수 없는 내 도벽
"THE RAP MONSTER" 그게 내 두번째 이름
라임이 내 음표고 모든 음절이 내 계이름
난 죽어도 힙합 뼛속까지
The real new classic, 여기까지

[Intro]
BigHit represents
The Rap Monster

[Verse 1]
Born in Ilsan, Ilsan to Apgujeong
I make everyone lose heart because I'll never give up the top position
I was born a man and I came this far, but why are you hesitating?
If you can do it, do it, ayo DJ let's go get it poppin '
(Reset)

[Verse 2]
Keep it down, our attraction is Taiji and Lee Ji-ah
It's secret. The beat is supreme, I'm a team
And my name is Namjoon Kim. I'm really hot
Take a look at this, listen to your rap once and it's bullshit
Like Kevin, as soon as I play I completely dominate the stage on my own
I'm the next-generation rap star to lead the young hip-hop craze
A guy that knows nothing but rap, I just can't stop
I always write my lyrics the way I want and spit it out, "Hook Gayo's" proof isn't over
I've already stolen the ears of countless people, I can't stop my kleptomania
"THE RAP MONSTER" that's my second name
Rhyme is my music note and every syllable is my scale
Even if I die I'm hip hop to the bone
The real new classic, so far

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.
