Touch your feet, touch your toes, do that shoulder roll
Step left and right, I’m a good guy

Game ends at birth, look at my style, uh-huh, ayy
When I came to my senses, I reached the top.
Follow my inner self and do what I want
Left and right, we love to bounce
I have that spice thing
What the hell is this?
Don’t kill my vibration, I can feel the beauty
Of course I go on stage and come down
It’s useless, I’m already your number one
Diamonds around my neck, I’m not afraid
I’m going to have fun with the new truck
Because I can glide, glide like a landing strip
What you lack is time, you don’t have to sleep.
It’s already night, two or three o’clock
We got the rebound
Wow, wow, wow, wow

Ok, always walk in shape, keep your back straight
Chin slightly raised, facial expression is a frowning emoji
It’s not magic, it’s magic, the fluid style is automatic
Check my credit, oh, are you ready?
My appearance is like Milan, but I live in Seoul
Don’t be formal on stage, teach me, teach me how to do the dougie

How long will you be fine? I don’t think about it today
Look at my pose, 비켜봐 don’t kill my vibe

Of course it goes down on stage
Don’t fight it, I’m already your number one
Diamonds around my neck, fear is what I don’t have

It lifts its head just a little, my face, like a mock face emoji
No tricks, just real magic, dripping the drip like an automatic
