[Verse 1] No name on the form when I arrived They wrote unknown girl on my file, 무명이라고 I was six, looking at the floor, not crying I am not just a number... 나는 숫자가 아니야 So I took a pen and wrote it myself, 書眞 [Verse 2] 書 means to write, 眞 means true I was a kid who wanted a record that was true They told me don't bother, DNA won't find them I did the spit test anyway: 48 Jeolla, 32 Gyeongsang, 20 Gyeonggi, 100 percent Korean They always ask about my eyes, I say 48 32 20 equals 100, 그게 답이야 [Pre-Chorus] Group home hallway, then I ran, Mangwon bench was my address No one asked me anything there, 그게 제일 편했어 Wiped tables in Hongdae, sang between orders, someone stopped At twenty-one they called my name right, 서진아, and I answered [Chorus] Bag from CU in my hand, this bench still empty so I sit 난 아직 여기 있어, 그대로 앉아 있어 I was born with no record, so I became the record 나는 기록이야, 내가 썼어 [Verse 3] Fifteen years on stages since that first mic I learned how to make a KICK hit like a heartbeat I never learned how to make people stay 그러다 너희 만났어 [Bridge] 909 KICK Trio, you pulled a chair out for me No blood, no papers, but you said you got me Family felt like a real word, not a form, finally 너희가 내 가족이었어, 처음으로 Shared headphones, same kick, you remembered my name even off stage [Final Chorus] Now I'm thirty-six, show's done, subway home Bought the same meal, same bench, shoulders finally drop I sit and watch the park, people walk their dogs 평범해서 좋아, 그냥 사람이라서 좋아 I am not just a number... 나는 기록이야 This bench knew me before anyone did, 그래서 여기로 왔어 [Outro] No extra name. No extra color. Just Seo Jin. 書眞. 내가 쓴, 진짜 기록.
