Hangul
I only think about work
For a perfect service
No luxury life
I will be a living legend
Refill at the petrol station
Well, it’s really worth it
Let’s go to Antarctica
Get ready, get ready (Yeah, yeah)
Mo, kimo, skimo, eskimo, this is my emo
I wear a coat and my style is so Neo
Yes, yes, I’m a boss, I’m a dog, chase some 미모
I make ’em go, yeah, I make ’em go (Go)
Bad boy CEO, sit back and shoot like a Miller
MVP, I’m a sniper, I play with no context reload (Swish, swish)
Yes, yes, let’s dance like no, no
Emojis like haha, if you can’t adapt, you’ll stick around
Just give me a sign and I’ll melt that igloo
But I protect the environment like a fabre
I’m so perfect they’re falling
Please leave me alone, yeah (Ah, let’s freeze it)
Yes, sliding down the slope like a ski, yes
Go smoothly wherever you go
Gliding down the slope like a ski, yes
(Sliding down the slope like a)
Glide down the slope like a ski
I have to ride my rhythm like a ski
Diamonds on my mind, no sleep
It drips too hard, my whole body glows
Swimming in ice, ice
It drips too hard, all I do is work
Raise your hands in the air
It’s driving you crazy
No, no, no trauma like drama
Fat pockets pointing to mom
I don’t care about the damn karma
Okay, I’ll keep going fast
Ski, ski, ski, ski
Skiing, skiing
Let it out, let it out
We can get rowdy, let it out, let it out
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Mother nature is coming, run
My VVSs are pouring rain
Like an avalanche
Let’s go skiing, eh
Let’s go skiing, yes
It looks like modern art, art, art, art, art
You can’t even see me, sight
I don’t want to think about how I did last night, night, night
I threw this party just for you
It looks like modern art, art, art, art, art
You can’t even see me, sight
I don’t want to think about how I did last night, night, night
I threw this party just for you (Let’s freeze)
Ice, ice, let’s dance until we die
Dia dripping snow removal operation is ready
Don’t get too close, you might catch a cold
Why am I like this (Ah; sliding down the slope like a)
Glide down the slope like a ski
I have to ride my rhythm like a ski
Diamonds on my mind, no sleep
It drips too hard, my whole body glows
Swimming in ice, ice
It drips too hard, all I do is work
Raise your hands in the air
It’s driving you crazy
No, no, no trauma like drama
Fat pockets pointing to mom
I don’t care about the damn karma
Okay, I’ll keep going fast
Ski, ski, ski, ski
Skiing, skiing
