Lyrics & Phonetic Romanization

Going up, escalator

Make it better, that's my manner

So see ya later on an escalator

Going up

Look, 난 필요 없어 navigate (yup)

Look, nan pil-yo eop-eo navigate (yup)

Hey, 본능이 나를 activate (yup)

Hey, bon-neung-i na-reul activate (yup)

Don't make a wish now, just do it

지금 순간이 my new birthday

ji-geum sun-gan-i my new birthday

Switch on, switch on, 뭘 그리 놀라 넌

Switch on, switch on, mwol geu-ri nol-ra neon

Wake up, wake up, 넋 놓고 있다가는 lost

Wake up, wake up, neok not-go iss-da-ga-neun lost

Kick off, kick off, 주저않고 저질러

Kick off, kick off, ju-jeo-an-go jeo-jil-reo

Now, just kick it off, now, just kick it off

Up, up, never go down, 오르막길을 즐기는 type

Up, up, never go down, o-reu-mak-gil-eul jeul-gi-neun type

Bottom up, 세우지 탑, yes, do it my way, 멈추지 않아

Bottom up, se-u-ji tap, yes, do it my way, meom-chu-ji an-a

Up, up, never go down, 오르막길을 즐기는 type

Up, up, never go down, o-reu-mak-gil-eul jeul-gi-neun type

(Up, up, up, up, up, up) bye

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

I am not losing like the King Louis

나만의 비기 깨부숴, ceiling

na-man-ui bi-gi kkae-bu-swo, ceiling

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

호랑이 무늬, carpet의 주인

ho-rang-i mu-nui, c-a-r-p-e-t-ui ju-in

Don't need no gimmicks, born to be highest ranking

Escalator

So see ya later on an escalator (going up)

Escalator

Winning mentality, escalator (going up)

Freak that, 눈높이를 낮출 일은 없지 절대

Freak that, nun-nop-i-reul nat-chul il-eun eop-ji jeol-dae

Sun tan, 누구보다 태양을 원해

Sun tan, nu-gu-bo-da tae-yang-eul won-hae

What was that? 발밑에다 두고 온 두려움

What was that? bal-mit-e-da du-go on du-ryeo-um

It's my update, the latest, pass

Up, up, never go down, 내가 딱 어울리는 건 crown

Up, up, never go down, nae-ga ttak eo-ul-ri-neun geon crown

멈추는 법을 몰라 더 커지는 gap, 날 탐내다간

meom-chu-neun beop-eul mol-ra deo keo-ji-neun gap, nal tam-nae-da-gan

Up, up, never go down, 내가 딱 어울리는 건 crown

Up, up, never go down, nae-ga ttak eo-ul-ri-neun geon crown

(Up, up, up, up, up, up) bye

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

I am not losing likе the King Louis

나만의 비기 깨부숴, ceiling

na-man-ui bi-gi kkae-bu-swo, ceiling

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

호랑이 무늬, carpеt의 주인

ho-rang-i mu-nui, carpеt-ui ju-in

Don't need no gimmicks, born to be listening

저 위에서 널 기다려 (저 위에서 널 기다려)

jeo wi-e-seo neol gi-da-ryeo (jeo wi-e-seo neol gi-da-ryeo)

(See ya later, see ya later)

곧 만나겠지 아마도 (곧 만나겠지 아마도)

(See ya later, see ya) bye

조금 있다 보자고

jo-geum iss-da bo-ja-go

(See ya later, see ya later)

끝없이 높이 going up (five, four, three, two)

kkeut-eop-i nop-i going up (five, four, three, two)

(Up, up, up, up, up, up) bye

Bye

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

I am not losing like the King Louis

나만의 비기 깨부셔, ceiling

na-man-ui bi-gi kkae-bu-syeo, ceiling

Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-eh

On my escalator

하늘 위 불빛 당기지 구미

ha-neul wi bul-bit dang-gi-ji gu-mi

Like crunchy biscuits, born to be (yeah, kick it off)

Hey, hey

Hey, hey (kick it off)

Hey, hey, hey

Going up
