[Verse 1: J.One]
One weight has been lifted off my shoulders
But a few days pass and an empty feeling remains
Honestly, I can't smile knowing that it's an end and a start
I know it's greedy but my heart wants to go back
I already miss it, getting scolded by the teacher for dozing off in class
It was something I hated back then, but now I miss it
All these memories come back one by one, like passing notes with my best friend
Or trying so hard to eat snacks without getting caught
[Verse 2: J.One]
Hating to wake up in the morning, fighting a war against my alarm clock
My friend who's in the same boat as me, putting their arm around me as we walk
Messing around, hitting, fighting, quarreling
From the physical wounds back then grew wounds of affections
Congratulations, congrats, you've graduated
Even with all the congratulations, I can't smile, I'm afraid I'll miss it too much
The first step towards my dream and a first anniversary song
I'll try my best to smile while thinking of you
Yeah smile
[ Chorus, CB97 ]
We've been running this far, non-stop, all day yeah
Never getting tired, we keep up this runner's high
You know graduation
Even though it's over, it's not the end
Put on some new shoes
Yeah we're ready at the start line
[Verse 3: CB97]
I'd like to start off this speech with a "thank you" to everyone that helped little Chris to grow up
I'm really glad to have you guys by my side
Teaching me the ways that I should follow by
20 years, I'll never forget you
Started from playing with blocks that were stored in a box
Filled with Legos and toy cars, we all have enough
But little Chris always waited till Santa would come
Hoping to get a present that would fill up his heart
[Verse 4: CB97]
But I guess my parents beat him to it, 'cause they gave me music
A gateway to show the world my opinion
One of the greatest gifts I've ever received in my life
It's time I graduate, illuminate the world with my light
Oh man, but sometimes I say to myself:
Is graduation a finish line or another gunshot
That goes off to mark the start of a new journey?
Should I be excited?
'Cause it sounds a little scary (yeah)
Another challenge to prove my existence
I'mma break all my limits, it's my ultra instinct
What's to come? I'm a feline, feeling so curious
But at the brink of death, I go super saiyan
Before I go, let me set things clear
My name ain't Byungchan, never was, never will
And so, as the captain that I am right now
I'mma take my team across the grand line, we ain't going down
[Chorus: CB97]
We've been running this far, non-stop, all day yeah
Never getting tired, we keep up this runner's high
You know graduation
Even though it's over, it's not the end
Put on some new shoes
Yeah we're ready at the start line
[Verse 5: SpearB]
Beginning with when I first opened a textbook
There were many more good memories than bad in those 6 years, until the end
I started with my first uniform
Not knowing what was bad, what was good, what was right
There were days where I would trip over my own footsteps out of confusion
Looking for the road that's right for me
After 3 years, I feel like time passes really quickly while walking on a bridge of music
Another 3 years passes, rather than regret, the excitement returns
Thinking that it's finally the end, I dont feel any relief, I'm not prepared yet
A heavy heart before an even heavier responsibility
I feel as though I made many worthy works in the past year
My experience making mixtapes and practicing will pay off
To see even further, I get ready for a new start
Looking carefully to finish off what's in front of me
In the past, what I saw was a straight line to the end
But as I walk towards it with a growing heart, I realize that we're not even half way there
[Chorus: CB97]
We've been running this far, non-stop, all day yeah
Never getting tired, we keep up this runner's high
You know graduation
Even though it's over, it's not the end
Put on some new shoes
Yeah we're ready at the start line
