매일 돌아가본다고 
그때의 나로
포기를 선택한 삶으로 
날 놓아본다고

but 세상에는 있지 
변하지 않는 마 진실
시간은 앞으로 흐른다는 것
만약은 없단 것

까마득 잊을만하면 생각나 그 시절
악마의 손길과 운명의 recall
궁금해 아직도 왜 다시 불렀는지도
매일 ask me, guess it, 채찍, repeat oh 
변할 건 없다며 결국 또
걱정은 억지로 잠궈, close
‘How much love? How much joy?’
위안을 주며 stay calm, alone

그래 I don’t care 전부 내 
운명의 선택 so we’re here
내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin’
Keep goin’ now
(Ready, set and begin)

그 길로 길로 길로
Wherever my way
오직 ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

문득 스쳐 가는 j-hope이 아닌 정호석의 삶
희망이란 없고 후회만 가득했겠지 till I die
내 춤은 뜬 구름을 잡을 뿐
나의 꿈을 탓하고 살아 숨쉬는 것에 의문을 
Oh my God

Uh time goes by
7년의 걱정이 드디어 입 밖으로
모두 해소되는 핍박
가장 믿던 그들의 답은 내 심장으로
‘하나뿐인 hope 하나뿐인 soul’
‘하나뿐인 smile 하나뿐인 너’
세상 그 진실에 확실해진 답
변하지 않는 그 어떤 나
Right

이젠 I don’t care 전부 내 
운명의 선택 so we’re here
내 앞을 봐 the way is shinin’
Keep goin’ now
(Ready, set and begin)

그 길로 길로 길로
Wherever my way
오직 ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

믿는대로 
가는대로 (그 길로, 길로, 길로)
운명이 됐고 
중심이 됐어 (wherever my way)
힘든대로
또 슬픈대로 (ego ego ego)
위로가 됐고 
날 알게 해줬어 (just trust myself)

 English

I go back every day
To the me of the past
To a life where I had chosen to give up
I let myself go

But there are, in the world,
some unchanged truths
The fact that time moves forward
The fact that there are no ifs

Almost forgotten memories from long ago come to my mind
The devil’s touch and fate’s recall
I’m still curious, why was I called upon again?
Every day, ask me, guess it, whip it, repeat oh
Nothing will change, so in the end
I force myself to lock up my worries, close
‘How much love? How much joy?’
I comfort myself and stay calm, alone

Yeah well, I don’t care, it’s all
chosen by my fate so we’re here
Look ahead of me, the way is shinin’
Keep goin’ now
(Ready, set and begin)

That way way way
Wherever my way
Only ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

It suddenly passes me by, my life as Jung Hoseok, not j-hope
It must’ve been without hope, filled only with regrets till I die
My dance only chases after pipe dreams*
Blaming my dreams, asking why I live and breathe
Oh my God

Uh time goes by
7 years of worries are finally out in the open
All oppression is resolved
The answers of those I trust the most go into my heart
‘Just one hope, just one soul’
‘Just one smile, just one you’
A definite answer to the truth of the world
No part of me changes
Right

I don’t care now, it’s all
chosen by my fate so we’re here
Look ahead of me, the way is shinin’
Keep goin’ now
(Ready, set and begin)

That way way way
Wherever my way
Only ego, ego, ego
Just trust myself

What I believe in,
the way I go (that way, way, way)
It became my fate,
it became my core (wherever my way)
As tough as it was
As sad as it was (ego ego ego)
It was comforting,
I came to know myself (just trust myself)
