[English]

Was it honestly the best?

Cause I just wanna see the next

Diligently passing through

All our yesterdays

So beautifully

Yeah the past was honestly the best

But my best is what comes next

I’m not playin’, nah for sure

Heading towards the day

‘Till I get winded

You and I, best moment is yet to come

Moment is yet to come, yeah

Not sure since when

But they say we’re the best

Full of these unfamiliar names

Now they just feel heavy

We just loved music

We’re just running forward

Promise that we’ll keep on coming back for more

Somewhere deep inside your heart

There still lives a young boy

My moment is yet to come

Yet to come

(Do you have a dream? What’s at the end of that path?)

Moment is yet to come, yeah

(In the hush of night, we won’t stop moving)

Yet to come

(We gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die)

Moment is yet to come, yeah

(This is only the beginning, the best yet to come)

That uncomfortable title we were given one day

We are still abashed by being called the best

You know, I, I, just love music

Nothing much has changed from back then

If nothing much has changed, probably

You’ll say it’s all a lie, yeah

There were a lot of changes but

I’m still the same

A new chapter

Every moment is my new best

Like I’m thirteen years old again

Spittin’ bars just like I did back then

Still got a lot to learn

My life, got a lot to fulfill

If you’re askin’ me why

My heart’s tellin’ you

We ain’t about it, the world’s expectations

We ain’t about it, that step of being the best

(We ain’t about it)

Crowns and flowers, countless trophies

(We ain’t about it)

Dream & hope & goin’ forward

(We so about it)

It’s back to square one after making one long turn

Back to one

Somewhere deep inside your heart

There still lives a young boy

My moment is yet to come

Yet to come

(Do you have a dream? What’s at the end of that path?)

Moment is yet to come, yeah

(In the hush of night, we won’t stop moving)

Yet to come

(We gonna touch the sky, ‘fore the day we die)

Moment is yet to come, yeah

(This is only the beginning, the best yet to come)

So was it honestly the best?

Cause I just wanna see the next

Dazzlingly passing through

The memories

So beautifully

Yeah the past was honestly the best

But my best is what comes next

We'll be singin' till the morn

Heading towards the day

More like ourselves

You and I, best moment is yet to come
