Are you ready?

같아 보일 수가 없어 난

gat-a bo-il su-ga eop-eo nan

걷힌 베일 속에 당찬 smile (whoo)

geot-hin be-il sok-e dang-chan smile (whoo)

Better watch out, baby, I bite

(Let 'em know, let 'em know, TKO, ayy)

Hold up, 날 예의주시 해 (whoo)

Hold up, nal ye-ui-ju-si hae (whoo)

가볍게 뱉던 네 말 in goody bag (whoo)

ga-byeop-ge baet-deon ne mal in goody bag (whoo)

Ain't no show and tell, you don't know me like that (uh-huh)

눈을 맞출 때, 이미 다른 my 클래스

nun-eul mat-chul ttae, i-mi da-reun my keul-rae-seu

턱 끝을 당겨 이제 (ayy) 놀란 널 가둔 eyes (whoo)

teok kkeut-eul dang-gyeo i-je (ayy) nol-ran neol ga-dun eyes (whoo)

힘껏 내 지른 fire, 절대 넌 못 피해 날 (yo)

So hot, but the ice so cold (let them know)

Let them know, TKO, la-la-la-la-la

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

비뚤어진 네 관심은 허니

bi-ttul-eo-jin ne gwan-sim-eun heo-ni

여유로운 스트레이트 꽂아 넣어 깊이 (whoo, whoo)

yeo-yu-ro-un seu-teu-re-i-teu kkot-a neot-eo gip-i (whoo, whoo)

Hello haters, I'ma blow you a kiss

Take my punch line, 어서 링 위에 올라
