I write my name into the stars right now

온 갤러리에 날 남겨

날 중심으로 돌아가 sunlight

Oh Galileo 다시 재발견 yeah I'm the spotlight

Cry 낮과 밤 돼도 fly 어딜 가도 받아 환대 감당

안되진 않아 떳떳한 내 발자국은 박제되고 다음

선망했던 그 자리에 난 올라

입이 열 개라도 설명하기 너무 바빠

위대한 이 역사

유성펜으로 써 내려가 ey

전 세계로 전파

시차를 무시하는 prime time ey

머리 위에 떠오르는 아이디어는 Thomas Edison의 전구

내 pace의 끝 가늠할 때쯤 이미 주자들의 선두

Pump pump 찍어내지 위인전

I'm gonna stomp stomp 내 발자국 Armstrong

(I'm strong)

정점을 찍는 업적 (whoo)

입이 떡 벌어지게 만드는 광경 legendary

Hear the people call my name

Here I'm on the Hall of Fame

Unveil the rumbling

Trails of “hustling”

찍어 위인전

Shaking the industry

Quaking reality

Making it iconic

I stack it up now (now)

더 쌓아 올려 빼곡한 내 일기장과 (now)

기록들은 making new history now

빛이 나는 이 자리 발

딛고 고개 빳빳이

들어 이젠 nah nah

Call me Shakespeare

I'm filling out my papers

즐겨 고비와의 battle

이 게임판의 승부를 뒤집을 Faker

Einstein도 수치화 못하는 패턴

다음 단계는 훨씬 높지 지금 수준의 거듭제곱

Immortal like Hawking

In black holes I'm walking

My scribbles and doodles

They're permanent markings

꽉 채워 적어 my fate (fate)

어차피 This is my way (way)

저 너머 세상도 뒤흔드는 난

동서남북 Grand Slam

Pump pump 찍어내지 위인전

I'm gonna stomp stomp 내 발자국 Armstrong

(I'm strong)

정점을 찍는 업적 (whoo)

입이 떡 벌어지게 만드는 광경 legendary

“That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”

I want more

The Hall of Fame

Numerous records I'll make 'em always

Hear the people call my name

Here I'm on the Hall of Fame

Unveil the rumbling

Trails of “hustling”

찍어 위인전

'Cause you know I'm

Shaking the industry

Quaking reality

Making it iconic

정점을 찍어 stomp stomp

Shaking the industry

Quaking reality

입이 떡 벌어지게 만드는 광경 legendary

I write my name into the stars right now
