같아 보일 수가 없어 난
gat-a bo-il su-ga eop-eo nan
걷힌 베일 속에 당찬 smile (whoo)

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

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
