1999 Lyrics

[Intro]
World, listen to me (Uh, uh-huh)
Listen (Uh, yeah)
Too fine

[Chorus]
1999, 다시 느껴 난 (What?)
Today, I feel so new, feels like ’99 (World, listen to me)
’99, yeah, ’99, ’99, yeah, ’99 (What?)
’99, yeah, ’99, yeah (1999)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, Mark Lee, back again (Again)
왔어 with a testament (Uh-huh)
목적지가 달린 플로우, I’ma break the net (Break that)
알고리즘 타, 네 앞에 도착해
나이 ’99년생이 나와
업계를 brain slap 탄생 깨워 like alarm set
I’ma wake ’em up, I’ma wake ’em up
I’ma wake ’em up (It’s another day, good morn’)
열년째 키운 내 dream, 소박할 리 없지
Got a call from my Maker, told me, “Wake up”, I said, “Okay”
오늘 저 태양 젊어 보여 I feel reborn
Used to think, but now I know, baby (1999)

[Chorus]
1999, 다시 느껴 난 (Uh-huh-huh)
Today, I feel so new, feels like ’99 (World, listen to me)
’99, yeah, ’99, ’99, yeah, ’99 (What?)
’99, yeah, ’99, yeah (1999)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, 기가 막히네 아침에, okay, I wear that
Armor like 자켓, now, what’s that?
하루 반나절 바뀌는 세상
말고 난 I know, He sees me more than some viral
Oh, what’s a decade?
열년 동안 나같은 놈은 못 봤네 one hundred (One hundred)
못할 바엔 일을 안 할게 (I’m so fine)
World, listen to me

[Chorus]
1999, 다시 느껴 난 (Uh-huh, huh)
Today, I feel so new, feels like ’99 (World, listen to me)
’99, yeah, ’99 (What), ’99, yeah, ’99 (Yeah)
’99, yeah, ’99 (Listen, 1999)

[Bridge]
Light it up, hoo
해가 떠 방 안에 (Huh)
This is a revolution (Huh)
I’ll leave the ninety-nine (Huh)
Just to get the one, baby
세기 마지막에 태어난 애
이 시대에 마지막이 될게
Only one more question remains
대체, what was his whole plan?
’99, yeah

[Interlude]
You ain’t listening
Listen
Uh, yeah
World, listen to me
Let me show you I was born to be
Let me show you I was born to be (What you mean?)
Let me show you I was born to be
I was always meant to be all yours, yeah (Let’s bring it back)

[Chorus]
1999, 다시 느껴 난 (Made in ’99)
Today, I feel so new, feels like ’99 (World, listen to me)
’99, yeah, ’99 (’99, ’99), ’99, yeah, ’99 (Oh, yeah)
’99, yeah, ’99, yeah (1999, oh, yeah)

[Outro]
과거 현재 미래 kids (Kids)
그냥 show me how you swish (Swish)
세상에다 찍어 mark it

과거 현재 미래 kids (Kids)
그냥 show me how you swish (Swish)
세상에다 찍어 mark it

In this verse, MARK reflects on his journey and his return with a strong, purposeful flow. His “testament” is both a statement of his growth and a recognition of the experiences that have shaped him. He compares himself to an algorithm, constantly moving forward and arriving at new destinations. The line “Got a call from my Maker” suggests divine or spiritual guidance, reinforcing the idea of being awakened to his true potential.
