[Romanized:]

Cheot gyeyageun 500e 3nyeon

Cheot peineun yalbeun bongtu se jang soge man wonssik
Yeot gatjiman mwo eottae?
Oneureun anju meongneun nal
Janeul wiro like we made it
Fuck the world, we the shit
IPod and new kicks
G-Shock on my wrist
Yeollyeoseot madissik gakkawojineun bucket list
Jigeumui chueogeun jeonbu geuttaeui kkum
Debwi aelbeom nogeum jung
Coming soon

Yo! bit bodaneun bit
Mideumbodan bulsin
Eumakboda deo gominhaetdeon meokgosaneun il
"Jageun gijeogui bit han julgi nanwojugireul"
Oemyeonhan jal nan haneuri
Wonmangseureowo naraolla, kotdae nopeun haneul wi
Neomeojin jeogeun isseodo pogihan jeok eopseo
Sesangi jeonghan hangyen sijage neomeoseosseo
Myeot beoneul dasi sseodo salui kkeut peijie
Majimak munjangeun
I was here

Back to the map, will you run with us?
'Til ashes to ashes and dust to dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at
We're back on the track, yeah, from dawn to dusk
Turn ashes to diamonds, make gold from dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at

Seupan hongdae jihaeseo kochella samak wi
Baegyeongeun dallajyeotjiman nae ttameun mareuji anchi
Mokpyoneun neul jigeumboda wi chukbaeneun 10nyeon jinan dwi
Yeonggwangman namgigo oneureun seosasi manchwihaji
Sewore gireul ileun chingudeulgwa
Saramdeul gieok soge pamutin geu ireumdeul sai
Urin yeojeonhi jonjae
Gwageowa hyeonjae
Neul chulbaljeome seon deusi mudae wi GO hae

To give you everything
I cut my soul open
My poetry was born from the blood that I'm soaked in
Sesangeun wanbyeogeul wonhae
Silsuneun not a option
Silpaeneun seonggongui eomeoni
Nae seonggongeun orphan
My pain is real
Pain is real, just to breathe I need a pill
Swipjineun anketji, seoseohi ichyeojineun il
Galsurok hwieojineun gil, don't worry my dear
Sucheon beon neomeojigodo urineun seo isseo, HERE

Back to the map, will you run with us?
'Til ashes to ashes and dust to dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at
We're back on the track, yeah, from dawn to dusk
Turn ashes to diamonds, make gold from dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at

We mapped the human soul, got society high
Sang our swan songs, remapped to stay alive
The world tried to turn us to pieces
But the E-P-I-K never ceases
Had 99 problems, but it's do or do not
Took our demons by their throats, stuffed 'em in a shoebox
We did something wonderful, now there's nothing to fear
When you're lost, remember, Epik High is here

[Korean:]

첫 계약은 500에 3년
첫 숙소 500/30
첫 페이는 얇은 봉투 세 장 속에 만 원씩
엿 같지만 뭐 어때?
오늘은 안주 먹는 날
잔을 위로 like we made it
Fuck the world, we the shit
IPod and new kicks
G-Shock on my wrist
열여섯 마디씩 가까워지는 bucket list
지금의 추억은 전부 그때의 꿈
데뷔 앨범 녹음 중
Coming soon

Yo! 빛 보다는 빚
믿음보단 불신
음악보다 더 고민했던 먹고사는 일
"작은 기적의 빛 한 줄기 나눠주기를"
외면한 잘 난 하늘이
원망스러워 날아올라, 콧대 높은 하늘 위
넘어진 적은 있어도 포기한 적 없어
세상이 정한 한곈 시작에 넘어섰어
몇 번을 다시 써도 삶의 끝 페이지에
마지막 문장은
I was here

Back to the map, will you run with us?
'Til ashes to ashes and dust to dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at
We're back on the track, yeah, from dawn to dusk
Turn ashes to diamonds, make gold from dust
From the front to the back, if you fuck wit' us
Tell me where you at

습한 홍대 지하에서 코첼라 사막 위
배경은 달라졌지만 내 땀은 마르지 않지
목표는 늘 지금보다 위 축배는 10년 지난 뒤
영광만 남기고 오늘은 서사시 만취하지
세월에 길을 잃은 친구들과
사람들 기억 속에 파묻힌 그 이름들 사이
우린 여전히 존재
과거와 현재
늘 출발점에 선 듯이 무대 위 GO 해

To give you everything
I cut my soul open
My poetry was born from the blood that I'm soaked in
세상은 완벽을 원해
실수는 not a option
실패는 성공의 어머니
내 성공은 orphan
My pain is real
Pain is real, just to breathe I need a pill
쉽지는 않겠지, 서서히 잊혀지는 일
갈수록 휘어지는 길, don't worry my dear
수천 번 넘어지고도 우리는 서 있어, HERE
