Bangtan: our gi-eok and our come prima



Like the Korean consonant gi-eok, I want to go back to our firsts

Just like before when we were stumbled of everything that is worse

They mocked your music and said you'd never make it

You received mistreatment and a handful of hate but you never quit


Time flies when you’re having fun

I remember dancing to your song “Run”

How I shed tears for “Spring Day” because it comforted me

And how those HYYH trailers are nerve wracking, I can’t bear to see


People started to recognize you with “Blood, Sweat and Tears”

It started to get deafening with all the loud cheers

You addressed youth with its growth and emotional agony

And the world slowly opened their doors with perfect harmony


As people get to know you gradually, you still did your best

You still give it your all and stood among the rest

Seven years later, we knew you'd make it and you’ll be here

From a small independent company that grew with you every year


Your music became art that inspires

And you became artists that everyone admires

I remember when you first won your daesang in two thousand and sixteen

That was one of the memorable moments that ARMYs have ever seen


Now come 2020 and you filled your bag

You also have come a hefty price on your tag

But with these successes you are still you

Just wiser and a bit crackhead too


Going back to the beginning just like before (come prima)

Where we have our gi-eoks, and we’ll create some more

We are the firsts and the beginning of each other

And even when this world forgets, our family will always remember
