Damn 힙부심, 아이돌 랩퍼? Cut that 불씨
어차피 본질은 아이돌 쉿이라며 날 무시해
줏대 따위는 개주고 내 이름을 비웃지
물타기와 무시밖에 모르는 니들이, how you kill me?
So I bring the monster back, my monster swag
So this is the monster track cuz of my freaking monster rap
현대판 홍길동들, 좋은 걸 보고도 좋다고 못해
3세대 리더 so imma lead ya 이건 세대교체
I’m sayin yeah I’m the top of the top of the top
Poppin’ em, rockin’ em, stoppin’ em, blockin’ em, like the Cassius lance
Imma don, 비트 끄지마 becuz I’m not freakin done
비트 위에선 까불지마 cuz every kick is my freaking zone
난 원래 관대해 but now imma murder your rappers
차례대로 썰어버리고 then imma murder you haters
자 이제 날 봐, 그리고 말해봐 누가 니 top 5?
랩몬스터, 란다, 리다, 랩몬, 니 아빠

지금은 hope world, from BTS
전부 날 follow 내 가능성은 리트윗돼
모두에게 알려 내 flow, 고막을 타고 니 몸을 채워
칼을 갈았어, 내일을 위해 get back in the days
나이도 나이고, 라임도 몰랐던 아이고
그저 아이돌 바라본 광주의 흔한 아이였던 나
그래 이젠 보여줄게 이 트랙 위 Cypher에서
내 포부를 밝혀 I'm above the minors
그래 너완 다른 메이저 uh TV screen을 난 채워 uh
래퍼 코스튬? no 거품을 거두고 내뱉어
내가 원하던 것을, 난 지금 어딜 가도 이슈감
배가 아프면 병원 가 전치 2주감
내 패배를 바랬던 사람들 다 뒷목을 잡지 
힙부심 판치는 게임 위 J-hope은 반칙

난 미필 but 취미는 저격
We are bulletproof로 한방을 먹였지
어설픈 가짜들은 찔려 반응하지
좀더 열폭 해봐라 내 발음화질은 4k
I’m dope man 난 비트 위에선 쇼팽
난 절대 안 변해 태어날 때부터 난 모태
Born rapper, my attitude는 내 멘토
니들이 씹고 물어 뜯어도 난 메멘토
힙부심 부려봐 내게 느끼는 무력감
질투심 숨겨라 니 아이피 다 보일라
난 보일러 순식간에 hot해졌지
스포일러처럼 너는 안 봐도 뻔해졌지
속절 없이 멍청한 힙찌질일 고쳐놨지
근본 없이 커져간 이 가요곈 공존하기엔 
빡세 그러니 랩은 취미로 해
말세야 말세, 찔리면 노력해 what

Damn Hip-pride, Idol rapper? Cut that bullshit*
They look down on me, saying that at my core I’m still an idol piece of shit
They give their backbones to the dogs and laugh at my name
You who only know how to follow trends and ignore people, how you kill me?
So I bring the monster back, my monster swag
So this is the monster track cuz of my freaking monster swag
The modern-day Hong Gil-dongs**, you can’t admit that what is good is good
The leader of the 3rd generation, so imma lead ya this is a generation switch
I’m saying yeah I’m the top of the top of the top
Poppin’ em, rockin’ em, stoppin’ em, blockin’ em, like the Cassius lance
Imma don, don’t turn off the beat becuz I’m not freakin done
Don’t act silly on the beat cuz every kick is my freaking zone
I’m normally forgiving but now imma murder your rappers
I’ll chop them up one by one then imma murder you haters
Now look at me, then tell me, who’s your top 5?
Rap Monster, Randa, Leader, RapMon, and your dad

Now it’s Hope World, from BTS
Everyone follow me, my potential becomes retweeted
I let everyone know my flow, I flow through your eardrums and fill your body
I’ve sharpened my knife, for tomorrow get back in the days
Age was also age, but I was a kid who didn’t even know what rhyme was
I was simply a normal kid from Kwangju who looked up to idols
Yeah I’ll show you know, on top of this track’s Cypher
I declare my determination, I’m above the minors
Yeah, I’m a different major from you, uh I fill up the TV screen uh
Rapper costume? No, I take away the foam and spit it out
What I wanted, now wherever I go I’m a hot topic of issue
If you’re jealous then go to the hospital, diagnosed 2 weeks of bedrest
All the people who desired my failure all clutch at their necks***
On top of the game where hip-pride flaunts itself, J-Hope is unfair

I’m not in the military service but my hobby is to shoot at you
We gave you a blow with We are bulletproof
The lame fakers’ consciences are pricked and react
Go on and get a little more infuriated, my pronunciation quality is 4K
I’m dope man, I’m Chopin on the beat
I won’t ever change, from birth I’m a
Born rapper, my attitude is my mentor
Even though you bite and rip me apart I’m a memento
Go on and flaunt your hip-pride, the helplessness you feel against me
Hide your jealousy, or we might see your IP address
I’m a boiler, I became hot in an instant
Like a spoiler, you became predictable even without watching you
You’ve fixed the stupid hip-losers with no delay
To coexist with this k-pop industry that became large without principles
Has become too difficult so go on and rap only as a hobby
It’s a tragedy, a tragedy, if you feel self-conscious then make an effort, what

Translator’s Notes:

* He uses the Korean transcription of ‘bullshit’, since 불씨 only sounds like ‘bullshit’ and means ‘spark of fire’. This was a way to censor the language while still sounding like he was cussing.
** Hong Gil-dong is a famous character from an old Korean novel, but was also a real outlaw from the Joseon Dynasty.
*** 뒷목을 잡다 literally means to grab the back of your neck, but means that you just heard about something very frustrating and the pressure rose to your neck, causing you pain.
