Lyrics & Phonetic Romanization

I'm a race (I'm a)

I'm a race

어차피 now or never

eo-cha-pi now or never

고민하지 마 no more problem

go-min-ha-ji ma no more problem

속도를 높여 'til the maximum

sok-do-reul nop-yeo 'til the maximum

We on it on the winner podium (yo, yo)

심장이 막 뛰어 like rum-pum-pum-pum

sim-jang-i mak ttwi-eo like rum-pum-pum-pum

Tension을 또 올려 no limit, 더 더

T-e-n-s-i-o-n-eul tto ol-ryeo no limit, deo deo

Shift up, 어서 빨리

Shift up, eo-seo ppal-ri

Basic instinct, 아무도 못 말려

Basic instinct, a-mu-do mos mal-ryeo

Trailblazing the race

We're acing this game

Track 위에 주인공은 us

Track wi-e ju-in-gong-eun us

Now we'll be all the rage

더 거침없이 달려 달려

deo geo-chim-eop-i dal-ryeo dal-ryeo

"Champ", that's our title, title

숨이 차도 끝까지

sum-i cha-do kkeut-kka-ji

Now it's the final lap

Hit it, hit it, breaking records, done

I'm a race

I'm a racer

Vroom-vroom, we're so fast

집중해 봐 and we're gone

jip-jung-hae bwa and we're gone

타 올라타 if you wanna win it

ta ol-ra-ta if you wanna win it

Let's be born ready, number ones

I'm a racer

Vroom-vroom, we're so fast

절대 못 쫓아와 (따라 따라 와 봐)

jeol-dae mos jjot-a-wa (tta-ra tta-ra wa bwa)

머리 높여 들어봐 봐 nothing's too latе

meo-ri nop-yeo deul-eo-bwa bwa nothing's too latе

보여 줄게 자세하게 all in 8K

bo-yeo jul-ge ja-se-ha-ge all in 8K

Baby, we're so rare, 못 막아 likе a monster

Baby, we're so rare, mos mak-a likе a monster

We gon' be a rock star

심장이 막 뛰어 like rum-pum-pum-pum

sim-jang-i mak ttwi-eo like rum-pum-pum-pum

서로에 기대 결국 다 thumbs up

seo-ro-e gi-dae gyeol-guk da thumbs up

Trust me, now you can

Hit the pedal, bam, oh

Trailblazing the race

We're acing this game

Track 위에 주인공은 us

Track wi-e ju-in-gong-eun us

Now we'll be all the rage

더 거침없이 달려 달려

deo geo-chim-eop-i dal-ryeo dal-ryeo

"Champ", that's our title, title

숨이 차도 끝까지

sum-i cha-do kkeut-kka-ji

Now it's the final lap

Hit it, hit it, breaking records, done

I'm a race

If you're all in with me

모두 다 chosen ones

mo-du da chosen ones

We're 'bout to flip this world, you'll see

Yeah, yeah (I'm a race)

I'm a race

I'm a racer

Vroom-vroom, we're so fast

집중해 봐 and we're gone
