어떠한 이유로 우리가 멀어져 버리게 되었지 For some reason, we were made to drift apart from each other
하지만 우리 우리 우리는 원망하지 않기로 해 But, let us, us, us, not blame anything
그 무엇도 우리 사이를 떼어낼 수 없다 했는데 Nothing in the world could ever tear us apart, we said
자꾸만 두려워져가 영영 멀어질까 봐 But, more and more, I become afraid that we may forever grow apart
.
이 음악을 빌려 너에게 나 전할게 I’ll borrow this music and tell you
사람들은 말해 세상이 다 변했대 People say the world has changed
다행히도 우리 사이는 아직 여태 안 변했네 Thankfully, between you and I, it’s still the same
Note: The above three lines are word-to-word the same as SUGA’s lines in BTS’ Life Goes On.
.
우리 인사하자 bye 아닌 hello Let’s greet each other, not with bye but with hello, Note: 인사 (pronounced insa) could be a greeting exchanged when people meet or part. The BTS version uses “annyeong,” which is an informal expression to say both hello and goodbye: “With ‘annyeong’ that I always say to start and finish the day.”
세상이 내 뜻대로 안된다 해도 even if the world does not evolve the way we want
우리 바람대로 며칠 밤만 세고 다시 만날 날을 너는 절대 잊지 마 Don’t forget the day we’ll meet again, after counting just a few more nights as we hope Note: Spring Day (How much longer should I wait and how many sleepless nights should I spend before I get to see you, before I get to meet you; If you wait a little bit, if you spend just a few sleepless nights, I’ll come to meet you, I’ll come to pick you up)
.
시간은 흘러가고 Time will pass
누군가는 잊혀가겠지 And someone will be forgotten
그저 하고픈 대로 Things will flow however they like
.
시간은 마치 파도 Time, like a wave,
썰물처럼 밀려가겠지 will wash away like the ebb tide
그래도 잊지 말고 나를 찾아줘 But still, don’t forget to come find me
.
모두가 멈춰버려진 이 순간 This moment when everyone has paused
오늘따라 멀어 보이는 현관 The door that looks especially far away today
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
.
모두가 떨어져 버린 이 순간 This moment when everyone has grown apart
어제보다 멀어지는 우리 사이 The distance between us that is growing larger day by day
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
.
10년간 내가 지나간 자리 The trace I’ve left over the past 10 years
무수히 많은 상처와 영광까지 Even those countless wounds and glories
지나보니 추억의 한순간 are just a moment in the memories now that I look back
매 순간을 마지막처럼 달려왔지만 난 아직도 겁이 나 I fiercely lived through every moment as if there’s no tomorrow, but still, I’m afraid
.
I know I know 지금 이 자린 I know, I know, that this place where I’m now
금세 추억이 되어 버릴 자리 is one that will soon become a memory
두려워하지 마 내 인생의 마지막까진 Don’t be afraid, because until the end of my life,
끊임없이 삶은 계속될 테니까 life will continue to go on

SUGA sees this track as sharing some characteristics with two of his previous songs: So Far Away and Dear My Friend. Writing this song, he wondered if he would’ve suffered less if he’d had someone telling him the messages in this song. As someone who knows so well about tough times and suffering, he wishes a lot of junior artists listen to this song and find comfort. More generally, he dedicates this song to everyone in this world who survives on snoozes, sleeping in snippets and striving to fulfill their dream. (SUGA ‘D-DAY’ Live)

나를 보며 꿈을 꾸고 있는 당신의 등 뒤엔 Behind you, growing a dream while watching me,
항상 내가 있으니 너무 걱정은 말어 I’ll always be standing, so don’t worry too much
추락이 두렵다면 기꺼이 받아줄게 If you’re afraid of falling, I’ll gladly catch you NOTE: SUGA frequently refers to the concept of falling. Some examples: (1) “For we are flying together, I gain courage. I’m afraid of falling, but not of landing.” (Dicon, May 2018); (2) “I’ve seen many artists past their prime, unable to fill up big venues like they once used to and being ridiculed. Seeing them, from when I was young, I used to think that it may be a wise decision to quit when I have a say, rather than continuing while being mocked and criticized. Now, I just hope that I’ll be standing on the stage until the very last moment of landing. I think that’d be a successful descent. […] If it’s that I’m not falling all by myself but we’re landing together, I’m no longer afraid of the end. ” (YouQuiz, March 2021); (3) “That my leap would not be my fall, that your convictions, efforts, beliefs, and greeds are not ugly nor dirty” (SUGA’s Interlude); (4) “I’m afraid, I’m scared of flying high. No one told me how lonely it is here, that my leap can be my fall.” (Interlude: Shadow); (5) “We don’t need to worry. ‘Cause we when we fall, we know how to land.” (Permission to Dance).
그러니 나처럼 괴로워하지 말어 So don’t suffer like I did
.
꿈을 위해서 쪽잠을 자는 그대 쉬어도 돼 You, surviving on snoozes to get closer to your dream, it’s okay to rest
오늘만큼은 꿈조차도 꾸지 말어 Today at least, don’t even dream Note: (1) I hope you sleep deep without having a dream; (2) I hope you take it easy without thinking about your dream
당신이 말없이 옅은 미소를 내게 띄워줄 때 When you silently show me a faint smile,
그제서야 비로소 맘이 조금 놓여 only then I feel a little relieved
.
많이 힘들 수도 있어 It could be a strenuous journey
내가 걸어왔던 이 길이 꽃길 같아 보였겠지만 The path I’ve walked may have looked like a flower path,
사방이 적인 가시밭길이었단 걸 알고 시작하길 but know that it was a thorny one, with enemies surrounding on all sides
꽃을 뿌려주는 이를 절대 너는 잊지 말길 I hope you never forget those who throw flowers onto your path for you
.
웃고 있을 때 우는 이를 절대 잊지 마 When you’re smiling, don’t ever forget about those who’re crying
그들은 니 미소에 하루를 살아가니까 Because it’s your smile that helps them live through the day
반복되는 일정 속 내가 지워질 때 When the repetitive schedules erase you,
벅찬다면 괜찮아 그대 조금 쉬어도 돼 it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a brief rest
.
크게 울어줘 세상이 미워질 때 Cry out loud, when you become to hate the world
널 반기던 손이 손가락질로 변했을 때 when the hands that used to greet you turn into fingers pointed at you
한숨 크게 쉬고 시* *같네 외쳐도 돼 It’s okay to let out a big sigh and yell out, “this shit is fucked up”
너 또한 누구와 다르지 않은 사람이기에 Because you too are just a human, like everyone else
.
이 괴롭고 외로운 길을 넌 왜 선택했을까 What is it that made you choose this painful and lonely path
그 이유를 시간이 지나도 절대 잊지 마 Don’t ever forget that reason, even after time passes
당신들의 꿈들이 꿈들로만 남지 않길 Wishing your dreams won’t just stay as dreams,
언제 어디서든 나 당신들을 응원할게 (dream) I will cheer for you, whenever and wherever (dream)
.
꽃잎이 지고 떨어질 때 When the flowers wither and fall,
감싸줄게 good night I will envelop those falling petals in my hands, good night
안개가 개고 흩어질 때 When the fog clears and scatters away,
떠나갈게 bye I will leave, bye
Blooming dream

이곳은 총성 없는 전쟁터야 같은 동료들이 적이야 This place is a warzone without gunshots, your peers are your enemies
숫자가 보여주는 잔인하고도 이쁜 선악 The brutal yet beautiful good and evil, determined by numbers
남을 죽이지 못하면 내가 죽어야 돼 When I fail to kill someone else, I become the one to die
이 바닥은 링이 아닌데 왜 누굴 죽여야 해? Why do I have to kill someone, when this scene is not a boxing ring
Note: Polar Night (“Unconcerned about the fact and killing anyone not on the same side is what today’s justice is. Left and right, black and white, at the end of this scripted play, the audience rips each other apart and draws blood. A war without gunshots, the ills of materialism, the extreme choice of making anyone and everyone an enemy if not on the same side.”)

단순히 좋아했던 일이 조금은 싫어질 때 When you grow a little sick of what you do that you used to like so purely
바램들이 바람에 사무쳐 휩쓸려 갈 때 When your wishes drifty away, carried by winds Note: Both “wish” and “wind” are 바람 (pronounced baram) in Korean. The 바람 for “wish” is often colloquially (but technically incorrectly) spelled 바램 (pronounced baraem).
괜찮아 지나 보면 모든 것이 추억이고 수업이 돼 It’s okay, when everything passes, it’ll all become a memory and a lesson
잊지 마라 세상은 인내심이 그리 길진 않아 Don’t forget, the world doesn’t have that much patience
.
남의 논란에 절대 웃지 말길 I hope you never laugh at someone else’s misfortune
너 또한 그 순간이 올지 모르니 Because you never know if you’ll find yourself in the same situation
너의 성공은 목줄이자 족쇄가 될 거고 Your success will become a leash and a shackle, Note: The Last (The greed that used to be my weapon now swallows me, ruins me, and puts a leash around my neck); Magic Shop (And my greed, which used to be my weapon, became a leash that chokes me)
더더욱 외줄 타는 기분들이 너를 옥죌 거야 and more and more, those feelings of walking on a tightrope will suffocate you
.
그냥 크게 웃어줘 세상이 떠나가듯 Just laugh out loud, as if you’ll laugh the world away
그냥 버텨줘 당신이 어디 있든 Just hold out, wherever you are
당신들의 꿈들이 꿈들로만 남지 않길 Wishing your dreams won’t just stay as dreams,
언제 어디서든 나 당신들을 응원할게 (dream) I will cheer for you, whenever and wherever (dream)

Dream 그대의 창조와 삶의 끝에 함께 하길 Dream, I hope it to be there with you at your creation and at the end of your life
Dream 그대의 자리가 어딜지라도 관대하길 Dream, I hope it to be generous to you wherever you stand
Dream 결국 시련의 끝에 만개하길 Dream, I hope it to be in full bloom eventually at the end of hardships
Dream 시작은 미약할지언정 끝은 창대하리 Dream, the beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will the future be
Dream
Note: The above lines are almost directly from So Far Away. The second and third lines are slightly changed to signify SUGA’s hope that one’s dream will be generous and in full bloom eventually (e.g., So Far Away: “Dream will be generous to you wherever you stand” vs. Snooze: “Dream, I hope it to be generous to you wherever you stand”).

마지막 꽃잎 떨어질 때 When the last flower petal falls,

In ‘D-DAY’ Live, SUGA mentioned that he started writing this song as he was turning 30 (in Korean age), which reminded him of 서른 즈음에 (Around Thirty) by Kim Kwang-seok. He sampled and reconstructed the guitar instrumental of Around Thirty, upon which he built other layers. Kang Seung-won is the composer/lyricist of the original song.

Note: As in 사람 (People) in D-2, the wordplay used throughout this track is similar to the one used in Trivia 承: Love, RM’s solo track in LOVE YOURSELF : ANSWER. It’s based on the phonetic similarity of (1) 사람 (pronounced saram), a noun that means a person, and (2) 사랑 (pronounced sarang), a noun that means love. In an interview with Billboard, Agust D said: Originally, the title was “Sara (사라),” without the “M (ㅁ)” consonant in Korean — because that’s, like, one consonant less than the word “saram (사람),” which is Korean for “people.” Depending on whichever consonant you put at the end of the word sara (사라), it can become “saram (사람)” and “people,” or it can become “sarang 사랑,” or “love” in Korean. So, it’s the listener’s choice to put which consonant you want at the end of “sara” (사라). But I had my friend listen to this son and people heard it as “sal-ah (살아)” which kind of means “live” in Korean and I was like, “This is not going to work.” So, we finalized the title to be “People” in the end.

사랑이라는 말 The word love
어쩌면 순간의 감정의 나열 Perhaps it’s a mere list of momentary emotions
조건이 붙지 나는 무얼 사랑하는가 It all comes with conditions, “what do I love?”
Note: Savage Love (Perhaps love is a mere list of momentary emotions; It all comes with conditions, “what do I love?”)
충분히 사랑받지 못한 아이 A kid who wasn’t loved enough
그래서 무엇보다 신중한 타입 made to grow into someone so cautious
나는 말야 원해 진중한 사이 For me, I want a serious and sincere relationship
알잖아 영원은 모래성 You know, “forever” is a sandcastle
잔잔한 파도에도 힘없이 쉽게 무너져 Even by gentle waves, it just collapses helplessly
Note: eight (the word forever is a sandcastle), Savage Love (Perhaps the word forever is a sandcastle; Even by gentle waves, it collapses helplessly)

승패가 없는 게임이라지만 난 언제나 game loser They say it’s a game without a winner or a loser, but I’m always the loser in this game
모든 걸 주겠다던 우린 모든 것을 부셔 We who used to say we’d give it all now tear it all down

사랑은 사랑으로 완벽할까 Would love be perfect as itself Note: FAKE LOVE (Wishing that love is perfect as itself)
그래 말야 이타적인 게 어쩌면 되려 이기적이네 Yeah, right, being selfless in some sense means being selfish
널 위해 한다는 말은 곧 내 욕심이기에 Because what I say to you, saying it’s for you, is actually to satisfy my greed
욕심을 버리면 행복해질 건가 Will I become happy if I let go of my greed
채우지 못한 반쪽짜리 허상 One-half of an illusion that couldn’t be fulfilled

삶은 저항과 복종 사이의 싸움이라는데 They say life is a struggle between resistance and submission

Some thoughts on the repeated use of 그대 (pronounced geudae) and 그때 (pronounced geuddae): While it can be plainly translated as “you,” 그대 contains affection and romantic feelings and is normally used to refer to someone in a written/formal context (and is not used to verbally address someone). 그때 means “then” or “that time.” The alternating appearance of 그대 and 그때 in the lyrics suggests that when one reminisces about past love, it could be about the person they were in love with (or their past selves who were in love) or the time when they were in love.

영원을 노래하던 우린 없어 마치 꿈처럼 We who used to sing forever no longer exist, like a dream
내가 그리워하는 것은 말야 그대일까 Would it be you of the past that I’m missing
아니면 후회와 미련이 남는 그때일까 or would it be the past times that left regrets and lingering feelings behind
.
Somebody does love
But, I’m thinking ’bout you
Somebody does love
Somebody does love
But, I’m thinking ’bout you, you oh
I’m thinking ’bout you
.
사랑은 봄날에 쏟아지는 저 햇살 같다가도 Love is like that sunlight pouring down on a spring day
어느새 밀려와 버린 겨울 바다 거센 파도 and rolls in as the winter sea’s fierce waves, before we know it
우리가 그리워하는 것은 그때일까 Would it be the past times that we’re missing
아니면 추억 속에 묻어버린 그대일까 or would it be each other of the past that we buried in our memories
그래서 난 그저 말없이 웃어보려 해 So I just try to smile without saying anything
미화된 그때를 회상하기엔 수고스럽기에 because it’s too much work to reminisce about the glamorized times of back then
우리가 추억하고 있는 건 그때일까 Would it be the past times that we’re reminiscing about
아니면 추억 속에 웃고 있는 그대일까 or would it be each other of the past, smiling in those memories
.
Somebody does love
But, I’m thinking ’bout you
Somebody does love
Somebody does love
But, I’m thinking ’bout you, you oh
I’m thinking ’bout you

내가 태어난 달 The month I was born in
엄마 심장의 수술 My mom’s heart surgery Note: Moving On (For the first time in my life in my mom’s womb, I used to count the days until my first moving; Vague memory, the cost of my moving was a machine in my mom’s heart and a big scar)
별의별 일이 많았지 There have been all kinds of things

스케줄 중에 걸려 온 전환 아버지의 간암 소식 And the news of my father’s liver cancer I learned on a call during a schedule
최선의 선택들이 맞았었길 I can only hope that my best choices were the right ones
그 또한 모두 지나가 버렸기에 Because they too have all passed
그래서 이 수많은 고통은 날 위한 것일까 Would it be that all these pains are for me
끊임없던 시련은 날 죽이지 못했고 다시금 나는 연꽃을 피워내 The neverending trials failed to kill me, and once again I bloom a lotus flower Note: D-Day (Because the lotus bloom gloriously even in muddy water)

공수래공수거 그 말은 내게 해당 안 돼 헛수고 “Come empty-handed, leave empty-handed,” such a word doesn’t apply to me, cut your vain attempt Note: 공수래공수거 (空手來空手去) means one’s arrival to and departure from the world with empty hands, emphasizing there’s no need to be greedy for fame or wealth.
하여간 촌스러워 음악 한단 새끼들이 약 빨기 바뻐 Just so tacky, those bastards say they do music but are busy doing drugs
악상의 출처 대구에서부터 쌓은 성공의 업보 The origin of my musical motif, the karma of my success that I’ve built from Daegu Note: Never Mind (From a basement studio in Namsandon to Apgujeong, I laid my beat, the origin of my youth)
어쩌다 성공 운 좋아 성공 *이나 까 잡숴 “You just accidentally succeeded, you just got lucky,” just go fuck yourself
백악관으로 do fly Do fly to the White House
빙* 새끼들이 말야 뭐가 중한지를 몰라 열등감들이 폭발 You assholes just don’t understand what’s important, exploding your inferiority complex
매번 망했다고 날 걱정하는 니 인생이 망한 걸 왜 몰라 Why are you so concerned for my life when it’s your life that’s screwed
그래 인터넷 세상과 현실은 꽤나 달라 Yeah, the Internet world and reality are quite different
현실을 살아 live your life Live the real life, live your life
다들 정신 차리라고 맴맴매 Pull yourself together, spank spank spank
전부 귀싸대기를 백백 대 All your faces, slap slap slap
다들 깨끗한 척은 역겹네 All pretending to be innocent, you disgust me
부디 니 똥부터나 check check 해 Please go check your own shit first, go check check
수많은 기사와 가십 정보화 시대 속 악인 Countless news articles and gossip, the villain in this age of information
현실이 시궁창이라면은 벗어나기를 해 If your real life is in a shithole, at least make an effort to escape
절실히 너조차 잘 되길 기도해 I’m genuinely praying that even you would succeed

내 할 일을 해도, 내 갈 길을 가도 Even when I’m just minding my own business, even when I’m just walking my own way,
화제가 되기에, 화재를 재기해 I make headlines, so I bring another fire to a comeback Note: Arson

On the street, keep that (burn up) Note: on the street
내 step은 깊게 (burn up) My step goes deep (burn up)

The word 해금 (pronounced haegeum) has multiple meanings. The two used in this song are: (1) a traditional Korean instrument (奚琴; a two-stringed vertical fiddle) that can be seen/heard prominently in the first 15 seconds of the clip above; (2) the lifting of a ban/prohibition (解禁).

해석들은 자유 [jayou] The freedom to interpret however one wants
개소리는 아웃 [out] Stupid nonsense should be ruled out
표현들의 자유 [jayou] The freedom to express whatever one wants
어쩌면 누군가의 죽음 사유 [sayou] Perhaps that becomes the reason for someone’s death
그것 또한 자유일런지 [illeonji] Should such freedom be allowed as freedom
당신의 판단과 추측엔 확실한 신념들이 있는지 [itneunji] Are there definite convictions behind your judgment and speculation
당신의 자유와 타인의 자유가 동일하다 믿는지 [mitneunji] Do you believe that your freedom is on the same level as others’
그렇다면 주저 말고 올라타 봐 If so, don’t hesitate and just get on board
금지된 것들로부터의 해방 Liberation from the forbidden
각자의 취향조차 이해들을 못 하는 불행한 이 시대를 살아가는 이들을 For those living in this unfortunate era who don’t even understand their own tastes,
위한 이 노랜 금지된 것을 푸는 것뿐이지 this song is simply freeing the forbidden
허나 자유와 방종의 차이쯤은 부디 구분하길 But I truly hope you differentiate freedom from self-indulgence

쏟아지는 정보들은 상상의 자유들을 금지시킴과 동시에 A flood of information prohibits the freedom of imagination and at the same time
사상의 통일성을 원해 wants to have our thoughts standardized
꽤나 머리 아픈 각종 노이즈는 눈을 가리고 All those noises make our heads hurt, blind us,
이제는 생각의 자유조차 범해 and now violate the freedom of thought even
각종 논란들은 판단들의 혼란들을 야기시키고 All those controversies cause confusion in judgment
또 쉴 틈 없이 생산되네 uh and ceaselessly get produced again, uh
과연 우릴 금지시킨 건 무엇일까 What would it be that restricted us
어쩌면은 우리 자신 아닐까 Would it be possible that we did it ourselves
자본의 노예 돈들의 노예 Slaves to capitalism, slaves to money
증오심과 편견 혐오의 노예 Slaves to hatred, prejudice, and revulsion
유튜브의 노예 플렉스의 노예 Slaves to YouTube, slaves to flexing
이기심과 탐욕이 미쳐 날뛰네 Selfishness and greed are frantically rampaging
눈 감으면 편해 모든 게 뻔해 Turn a blind eye and it’s all easy, it’s all obvious
이득에 따라서 뻔히 갈리는 견해 Opinions are so transparently driven by interests
시기와 질투에 다들 말야 눈들이 머네 Everyone is blinded by envy and jealousy
서로가 서로에게 족쇄를 거는 것도 모른 채 without even realizing that they’re putting shackles on each other
정보의 쓰나미에서 쓸려 내려가지 말길 I hope we don’t get swept away by the tsunami of information
우린 자유와 방종의 차이쯤은 모두 구분하니 because we all can differentiate freedom from self-indulgence

I’d die for real till the D-Day, but it’s gonna be okay
Time for some paycheck and I’m ridin’ downtown
Switch over, time tickin’ and over
.
Future’s gonna be okay
Okay okay look at the mirror and I see no pain
I’d die for real, I see karma gon’ be comin’ back for me
Time for some paycheck and I’m ridin’ downtown

D-Day’s coming, it’s a f****** good day
이날을 위해서 여지껏 미로를 거닌듯해 I feel as though it’s for this day that I’ve wandered in the maze all this time
어쩌면 어리숙했던 지난날은 이제 over The past days where I perhaps was naive and clumsy are over now
다시 태어날 우릴 위해 축배를 다시금 들어 Once again, raise a glass to us who will be born again Note: Dionysus (An artist who reincarnated, whether I’m an idol or an artist doesn’t matter, cheers)
.
미움이 가득한 세상에 증오는 더더욱 불필요하네 In this world already full of hatred, more loathing is especially unnecessary
연꽃은 진흙탕 속에서도 찬란하게 꽃피우기에 Because the lotus bloom gloriously even in muddy water Note: Lotus flowers grow in muddy water, symbolizing rebirth, resilience, and purity.
아등바등 남과 비교 열등감 자기혐오 Struggling to survive by comparing yourself to others, with an inferiority complex and self-hatred
이런 것들로 향해 오늘부로 총구를 겨눠 At those, let’s aim a gun from today
.
당신은 무엇인가? 한계 따윈 부셔내 인마 What defines you? Break the limit, you idiot
과거를 후회 말고 미래를 두려워하지 마 인마 Don’t regret the past or fear the future, you idiot
피할 수 없음 맞고 충분히 아프고 말길 yeah If you can’t avoid it, just fully suffer through it, yeah Note: Never Mind (If you think you’re gonna crash, accelerate even harder, you idiot)
괜히 상처를 헤집으면서 흉터를 키우질 말길 yeah Don’t rip up old wounds for nothing only to make your scars bigger, yeah

D-Day’s coming
금지된 것들로부터 해방됨과 동시에 As you’re freed from those forbidden things,
당신의 뉴 챕터를 열어 you open up your new chapter
고여 있기엔 우리는 여전히 젊고도 어려 To stay stagnant, we’re still too young Note: Never Mind (We’re too young to give up, you idiot)
어제보다 나은 오늘을 위한 최소의 노력 The minimum effort to make today a better day than yesterday
.
당신은 무엇인가? 한계 따윈 없는 거야 인마 What defines you? There’s no such thing as a limit, you idiot
과거는 지나갔고 미래는 먼 얘기 뭘 두려워해 인마 What are you afraid of when the past has gone and the future is yet to come, you idiot
과거는 과거일 뿐 현재는 현재일 뿐 The past is just the past, the present is just the present,
미래는 미래일 뿐 과한 의미 부연 힘들어 십중팔구 the future is just the future — eight or nine out of ten, they’re given too much meaning
.
오늘부로 미로를 지나 새로운 시작을 시작 From today, we shall move past the maze and start a new beginning
증오로 뒤덮인 세상에 다시 연꽃이 핀다 In this world covered with hatred, the lotus flower shall bloom again
그래 D-Day’s coming 당당히 가슴을 펴길 yeah Yes, D-Day’s coming, I hope you confidently square your shoulders, yeah
증명은 당신 몫이니 부디 증명해 내길 yeah It’s up to you to prove it, so I truly hope you do, yeah Note: This line reminded me of his 2014 tweets where he said “Ever since I started music, I’ve never fooled around with it and I have no plan to do so going forward. To start music was not an easy thing for me. Trust and follow me. I’ll let you listen to better music as much as you want. I’ll prove and prove. Trust and follow me.” [full thread translation]
