[Chorus: Ruth Cho]

Don’t you, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown


[Verse 1: J. Han]

Uh, I’m used to being laughed at

Petrified to pull my kimchi from my backpack

So I settled for mystery meat and flapjacks

Wanting to fit in, I underachieved in math class

Huh? Adolescent insecurities

Shiny placard on the interstate, nothing new

Man, I thought I drove past that at 22

But surely it followed me, I see it from my rearview

Man, I just wanted a simple life

Never asked to touch lives or touch the mic

I was told that I was wielding a katana so I had to quit

Holding it just as a butter knife, right?

Complications. how much longer can I hold on?

These character assassinations have been prolonged

Tired of defending my vocation with a prologue

Can’t take the heat, I want to leave, I need just to cool off


[Chorus: Ruth Cho]

Don’t you (don't you)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown


[Verse 2: Sam Ock]

I don’t really know why I’m this way

I don’t know why I am not okay

Paper thin, the state of all my parts

Fold and rip me up, can you see my scars

It’s taken me a long time to put ‘em up

All the walls coverin’ the true me, yup

So the me that is currently in front of you

A projection, hidden from the true blue

But I want to get better

So I’m tryna write down all my true letters

Vulnerable to even more pain

But I’m tryna have faith that to die is gain, so


[Chorus: Ruth Cho]

Don’t you (don't you)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown

Don’t you (don't you)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown


[Bridge: Sam Ock]

‘Cause I wanna get stronger

And I wanna get better

And I wanna go further

I want to be free from the fetters

So this is my plea

I’m tryna find a way to new me

Dying to my own self

Ey, that’s good for my health, so


[Chorus: Ruth Cho & Sam Ock]

Don’t you (don't you)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown

(Don't you worry)

Don’t you (don't you)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown


[Outro: Ruth Cho]

Don’t you, don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

And any turn that life will bring

‘Cause you’re on the road of gold

And your character will mold into a crown
