Hangul
Yeah yeah
I am the drama
Ziggy, Ziggy, Zag, I’m new
Because I get big, big, bad, it’s true
Toxic reflected in acute eyes
I follow my instincts and zoom
Wait, what? (My God)
You say, what? (You’re hurt)
You’d better be careful
We already have a strong boom
I’m running Vroom
I like it when I shoot
I like Li-li when I’m wild
I like Li-li when I go
I like it when I’m meaner
Hold on, follow the light
Run, run, run, run
In the end, ra-ta-ta-ta
I open the next world
One, two, it’s time to go
I have no regrets
I fought against it and broke it
