1990년 거꾸로 시간 가는 반주
시대는 황금기 두세 번 생각하는 말투
It's timeless 죽지 않는 영혼에 불타는
Drunken Tiger 랍티미스트의 리듬 안개치는
(바다) 바다 바람이 갈라지는 time travel
어차피 다 똑같애 두 눈 감고 갈 때에는
죽을 땐 빌린 이 몸 흙이 되는 time table
꿈에 한가운데는 폭풍의 눈 아직 괴로운
주위를 맴돌지만 닿게 돼있어 나의 aim
나의 태몽처럼 포효하는 나의 이름
I'ma stick 'em in their eyes so they can see where I'm coming from
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless) (yo)

Play button에 마술 같은 벤자민의 단추
산천을 화폭에 담은 화가에 나누기
계산이 필요 없는 정선의 산수
주변에 나무 이제 본모습을 감춘
산은 산 물물 아닌 사대강의 정치
천지 오늘도 맑은 미세먼지
연기 아니 땐 굴뚝 밑에 번진
뜬소문 부러져버린 노랑 연필 yeah
시간이 말해줄 원인 결과의 법칙

It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), RM, it's timeless
눌러 벤자민의 단추 with DT의 엄지손가락
혀를 지나 목구멍으로 넘어가는 순간
I remember 6번 줄 없는 통기타
이젠 너무 많이 특별해진 eight forty-five
Yeah remember 예술이 그런 거지 뭐
아무 의미 없는 시간에 생명을 불어넣는 거
좋건 싫건 당신의 삶은 전시됐지만
누군가에겐 평생을 함께할 곡이겠지 아마
누구의 술잔 누구의 편의점
누구의 노스페이스 지금은 팔고 없지만
You got what I'm sayin'
Your whole life was a damn concert
그리고 좋건 싫건 you raised another monster
This album be the last, but it will forever last
Things gon' be a past, but fest post to be fast
Hope it for the best, but see you already blessed
All you spit was blast, so don't you worry dad
You ain't dead (it's timeless, timeless)
It's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)
It's timeless (timeless), it's timeless (timeless)

This right here is Namjoon's roots. Idk why most of Namjoon's work are so underappreciated. He deserves so much more love. Tiger JK and Namjoon made a masterpiece imo.

@iluvdogs1430
100% agree - this is phenomenal!
@ynsp613
True, Namjoon has around 50 solo songs/collabs/covers and a lot of Army's don't know them. He's way too much underrated.

True, I need reactors to check out all his older collabs. His collab with Gaeko, Gajah, is absolutely golden. And I adore what he did with Fall Out Boy's, Champion.
And his huge collab in Yankie's ProMeTheUs deserves more love too.
