About This Track

A hidden track on their debut project, 'Path' finds BTS reflecting on the journey that brought them to this point. RM, Suga, J-Hope and Jungkook take turns tracing their separate routes into the group, each member recounting the sacrifice and uncertainty that preceded their arrival in Seoul. The song moves between doubt and resolve, between the pull of easier paths not taken and the commitment required to stay the course. The production sits spare and introspective, letting the voices carry the weight. RM speaks of following hip-hop heroes before finding his own voice; Suga describes three years as a trainee, watching friendships fracture and watching himself change; J-Hope recalls arriving simply because he loved to dance, then enduring pain to become something more. Jungkook's chorus asks the central question: would they be different people if they had chosen differently, if they had stopped and looked back? The answer, implicit in the verses, is that the path itself has made them who they are.

"길 (Path)" is a track by BTS, from the album 2 Cool 4 Skool, released 12th June 2013. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about BTS.

Lyrics

길 (Path)

[방탄소년단 "길" 가사]

[Intro: RM]

Yeah, wassup?

You know, time flows like stars

(Check it, check, check, check, check it out)

[Verse 1: RM]

시작은 에미넴 가리온 에픽하이 따라 하는걸

넘어 내 랩을 적고 새기다 보니까

벌써 어느새 내가 홍대

내 가산 온통 다 (****) 꼰대

But we don't know, we don't know

쉼 없어 꿈꾸던 중 날 묶어 버린

현실의 덫 오 그 청춘의 덫

뜨거운 가슴은 차가운 머리에 제버렸어 (Damn)

그렇게 내 선택이 옳다며 맹신하던

그 와중에 천사인지 악마인지 모를 그것이 말을 해

랩 제대로 해 볼 생각 없냐고? (Yes or no?)

망설일 시간은 없다고 다 바보는 되기 싫었던 난

이곳에 왔고 3년이 지나갔어

Some say art is long, life is short

But now for me, art is life

Life is sports

Just do it, uh

[Chorus: Jungkook]

난 달라졌을까

다른 길을 택했다면

멈춰서 뒤돌아봤다면

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

난 뭘 보게 될까

이 길에 끝에서

니가 서있을 그곳에서

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

[Verse 2: Suga, Suga & Jungkook]

수많은 시간이 흘리고 2013년 연습생으로 있었지 3년을

내 모습은 고등학생에서 어느새 커버린 (어린이가 됐어)

욕심의 새치가 많아지고 그 많던 친구들은 하나둘씩 (갈라지고)

가족없이 난 외롭게도 서울에서 맞는 (세 번째 봄)

데뷔가 코앞이면 걱정 없어질 줄 알았어

달라질게 없는 현재에 난 눈을 감았어

현실은 달랐고 주위에서 날 말려도

빛도 안 보이는 터널들을 나 홀로 걸었어

혼자인 줄 알았는데 (Why?)

알고 보니 일곱 맨발이 아닌 방탄이란 신을 신고

앞으로 나가야지 한발더 새롭게 더

서울에서 맞을 네 번째 봄 (Woah)

[Chorus: Jimin, Jin]

난 달라졌을까

다른 길을 택했다면

멈춰서 뒤돌아봤다면

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

난 뭘 보게 될까

이 길에 끝에서

니가 서있을 그곳에서

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

[Verse 3: J-Hope]

2010년의 해 내 걸음은

서울로 향하네! 그저 춤이 좋아 시작했던 내가 이젠 무대 위에 서네

그 사이에 많은 고통과 상처들을 이겨내고 날 갖춰

부러질 바엔 휘고말자는 나의 관념을 살려가며 3년을 달려

내 가슴 안에 있는 별들을 밝혀!

이젠 날 새롭게 비춰봐

세상이란 백지에 방탄도 새겨봐

더 불 켜진 내 미랠 걸어가

웃음을 지어 먼 훗날 (Ha-ha)

[Chorus: V, Jungkook]

난 달라졌을까

다른 길을 택했다면

멈춰서 뒤돌아봤다면

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

난 뭘 보게 될까

이 길에 끝에서

니가 서있을 그곳에서

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

[Outro: RM, RM & Jungkook]

난 달라졌을까

다른 길을 택했다면

멈춰서 뒤돌아봤다면

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya

난 뭘 보게 될까

이 길에 끝에서

니가 서있을 그곳에서

Oh, hey, ya, hey, ya
