[English]

Ain’t no limit never running out

Everywhere we go another win, another day

Yeah we shining with the lights out

Even in the dark we find a way to make a way

All my life I’ve been fighting this and fighting that

Keeping on even through the trials

Oh this time I ain’t looking back, I won’t collapse

Head high right now we go oh oh oh

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

It’s another day coming on the way

Build another city run it day and night

Live another day yeah we on the way

All around the world we’ll run it day and night

(Whoo ooh) Run it day and night

(Whoo ooh) Run it day and night

Gotta be me yeah

Turning up my speed without a pause

Missing the countless arrows aimed at me

Unstoppable beast

I don’t get drunk on this glory, I want even more

Achieving higher dreams

Leveling up one by one and leaning back comfortably

The only thing I do is win win

You’re gonna see

Overcoming is easier than giving in to frustration

Ooh hardships and adversity trained me, feel me?

I’m taking everything, achieving all those ambitions

Again and again, just like I’ve always done

We’re gonna make it

All my life I’ve been fighting this and fighting that

Keeping on even through the trials

Oh this time I ain’t looking back, I won’t collapse

Head high, right now we go oh oh oh

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

It’s another day coming on the way

Build another city run it day and night

Live another day yeah we on the way

All around the world

Oh I’ll never give up

I’m just gonna stand up

I’m putting my hands up

Towards that sky

We’re rising, no fade-out

Across the world spread out

If you feel it, hands up

Towards that sky (Come on)

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Starting in a small room, sound leaking through my phones

Dreams on repeat, building up my throne

From Seoul to the world now they know

My zone we’re never alone

This moment is proof we made it

Long nights waited never faded

All that pain yeah I paid it

The blood and tears I shed, I saved it

Matching our steps, becoming faster and stronger

The sound of their heartbeats

That’s our motivation, can’t stop

Until we’re chasing victory

Our story will remain as history

The melody I used to hum is now a symphony

I hear the sound calling out to us

Diving into a wider world

[Korean]

Ain’t no limit never running out

Everywhere we go another win, another day

Yeah we shining with the lights out

Even in the dark we find a way to make a way

All my life I’ve been fighting this and fighting that

시련 속에서도 계속

Oh this time I ain’t looking back, I won’t collapse

Head high right now we go oh oh oh

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

It’s another day coming on the way

Build another city run it day and night

Live another day yeah we on the way

All around the world we’ll run it day and night

(Whoo ooh) Run it day and night

(Whoo ooh) Run it day and night

Gotta be me yeah

멈춤 없이 올려 내 speed

수많은 화살에 떠 miss

Unstoppable beast

이 영광에 취하지 않아 더 많은 걸 원해

성취해내 더 높은 dream

하나씩 올리고 편하게 lean

내가 하는 건 오직 하나 win win

You’re gonna see

좌절보다 이겨 내는 게 easy

Ooh 고난과 역경이 trained me, feel me?

전부 다 챙겨 그 많은 포부 전부 쟁취

Again and again 여태까지 그래왔던 것처럼

We’re gonna make it

All my life I’ve been fighting this and fighting that

시련 속에서도 계속

Oh this time I ain’t looking back, I won’t collapse

Head high, right now we go oh oh oh

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

It’s another day coming on the way

Build another city run it day and night

Live another day yeah we on the way

All around the world

Oh I’ll never give up

I’m just gonna stand up

I’m putting my hands up

저 하늘 향해서

We’re rising, no fade-out

Across the world spread out

If you feel it, hands up

저 하늘 향해서 (Come on)

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

Woah run it everywhere all around the world

작은 방 시작 sound leaking through my phones

Dreams on repeat, building up my throne

From Seoul to the world now they know

My zone we’re never alone

이 순간이 proof we made it

Long nights waited never faded

All that pain yeah I paid it

흘렸던 피눈물 I saved it

우리 발걸음 맞춰 더 빨라지고 강해지는

그들의 심장 박동 소리

That’s our motivation 멈출 수 없지

Until we’re chasing victory

우리 이야긴 남겨질 history

흥얼거리던 멜로딘 symphony

우릴 부르는 소리가 들려와

더 넓어진 세상에 뛰어들지
