[Intro: SUGA]
Yeah, yeah
Okay
Run, run (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Okay, okay, let's go!

[Verse 1: Jung Kook, V, SUGA]
Nonhyeon, 100m, our place
A call from the company after school (Yes, yes)
Ah, I'm coming right now
Please don't send me home

(Oh) Sometimes I dream of that day (Dream)
(Oh) I shivering and then open my eyes (Open my eyes)
I don't wanna go, go back again
Let's go, let's go, let's go

[Pre-Chorus: Jung Kook, Jimin, V]
For ten years, wait, wait
We from the bottom
I caught you bae, bae
We're a bit fast
We seven mate, mates
Look carеfully, we got us
Tell me what you wanna
Tеll me what you wanna, woah
If we live fast, let us die young
[Chorus: Jung Kook, V, Jimin, Jimin & Jung Kook, *SUGA*]
Not losing our spirit
Make it move, left and right
No matter who you are
Make it move, left and right
Two bare feet are our gasoline, yeah, yeah
Let's go, are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah
*Okay, let's go!*

[Post-Chorus: j-hope]
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run

[Verse 2: SUGA]
Okay, okay, let's go
I was right, in the rain-leaking studio in Nonhyeon-dong
Opening a bottle of soju and talking about my hardships
If we succeed in the words that we've promised, everybody is dead
The reason behind Bangtan's success? I don't know if there's something like that
All of us just run hard
No matter what, we just run
That's the answer, ha-ha-ha

[Verse 3: RM]
(Okay)
Comfort, got them (Got them)
Principles, got them (Got them)
Good music, got them (Got them)
Good team? Goddamn! (Oh, yeah)
You said you hot (You hot)
Oh man, you not (You not)
Above the one who flies above the one who runs
Run Bangtan, let's go
[Pre-Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin, V]
For ten years, wait, wait
We from the bottom
I caught you bae, bae
We're a bit fast
We seven mate, mates
Look, we got us
Tell me what you wanna
Tell me what you wanna, woah
If we live fast, let us die young

[Chorus: Jung Kook, Jin, V, Jung Kook & Jimin, *RM*]
Not losing our spirit
Make it move, left and right
No matter who you are
Make it move, left and right
Two bare feet are our gasoline, yeah, yeah
Let's go, are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah
*Let's go!*

[Post-Chorus: SUGA]
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run, yeah, you gotta run (Run, run)
Run bulletproof, run (Run, run)
[Bridge: j-hope, V & Jimin]
Skrrt
With the ignorant faith
Just run, with your two legs
That's how we do it all (Ayy, ayy)
That's how we've proved it
The seven runners
With a million dollars (Ayyy, ayy)
Jiminie, V, hard work
Namjoonie, Hope, hard work
Yoongi hyung, Jjin, hard work
Jungkookie, everyone so thanks
Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, there's more in the future
Go get it, go get it, go get it, go get it, run, run
If we live fast, let us die young

[Chorus: Jung Kook, V, Jin, Jin & Jimin]
Not losing our spirit
Make it move, left and right
No matter who you are
Make it move, left and right
Two bare feet are our gasoline, yeah, yeah
Let's go, are you ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
(Yeah)


[Post-Chorus: RM]
Run beautiful, run, yeah you gotta run (Run)
Run beautiful, run, yeah you gotta run (Run)
Run beautiful, run, yeah you gotta run (Run)
Run beautiful, run

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

Run BTS is a b-side of BTS’ anthology album PROOF. The song ultimately describes the passion and fury that laid the foundation of the group’s global success. With only their bare feet, they started from ground zero; faced with defeat in times of hardship especially during the beginnings of their career. Then, their international fame and prominence in the music industry sets aflame as they become the biggest group in the world. The answer behind their success? To be frank, there is none- BTS just kept running until they were above even those who fly.

What did Genius English Translations say about "BTS - 달려라 방탄 (RUN BTS) (English Translation)"?
Genius Answer

For “Run BTS,” we kept saying we wanted to try doing a song in our older style, so we chose a title that both shares its name with our variety show and reflects who we are—always running. All the members have come a long way, and there’s times when we’re exhausted but there’s also things we want to do moving forward, so I think we tried to include those desires as well. And I really didn’t have many opportunities to show off my rap skills on our recent albums. So it made me think of the past, which made me want to write something a little tighter, but rapping it was really difficult. (laughs) We got it recorded quickly, but it had been a long time for me, so I really had to work at it when we were recording. (laughs)
