[English]

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

Drink one glass, get in the groove, shake it and it’s all Samba

My tongue is stained purple, like a genie, like Aladdin

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred Açaí

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that Açaí

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

I like it so much, uh uh Açaí

That lackluster taste, get rid of those basic toppings

I'm gonna change the scene, like a famous actor’s action

Up all night, sessions, checking into a new hotel

Check out the next day, with the weight on my shoulders

Like a donkey, a donkey, circling the globe, north, south, east, and west

Keep circling, and suddenly it rings, ba ra ring

An alarm in my belly

It’s time to Açaí

It’s time to Açaí

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

Drink two glasses, get in the groove, shake it and it’s all Samba

My tongue is stained purple, like a genie, like Aladdin

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred Açaí

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that Açaí

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

I like it so much, uh uh Açaí

Açaí on my tee

Açaí on my pants

Açaí on my album

Turn it into a jam

I’m growing the trend

Splashing it all over SNS

Stack n stack n stack

But I ain’t tryna blend

We only lock in with the real ones

I left, traveled thousands of miles to find the real deal

Up all night, sessions, checking into a new hotel

Check out the next day, with the weight on my shoulders

Like a donkey, a donkey, circling the globe, north, south, east, and west

Keep circling, and suddenly it rings, ba ra ring

An alarm in my belly

It’s time to Açaí

It’s time to Açaí

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

Drink one glass, get in the groove, shake it and it’s all Samba

My tongue is stained purple, like a genie, like Aladdin

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred Açaí

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that Açaí

Gulp, gulp, pull it, pull it, I just choke on Açaí

I like it so much, uh uh Açaí

[Korean]

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

Who is choking, I don’t care

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

한 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 Samba지

혓 속까지 보라색 지니 마치 알라딘

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred 아사이

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

내가 많이 좋아해 uh uh 아사이

아쉬웠던 taste, 걷어 근본 없는 토핑

함 바꿔 보게, 씬을, 마치 명배우의 액션

밤새서, 세션, 새 호텔 체크인

그다음 날에 check out, 어깨 위에 짐을 올린

당나귀 당나귀처럼 동서남북 지구 한 바퀴

한 바퀴 돌다 보면 순간 울려 ba ra ring

배꼽에 알람이

It’s time to 아사이

It’s time to 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

두 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 Samba지

혓 속까지 보라색 지니 마치 알라딘

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred 아사이

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

내가 많이 좋아해 uh uh 아사이

아사이 묻은 tee

아사이 묻은 pants

아사이 묻은 album

만들어 버려 jam

난 키워 버려 trend

다 묻혀 버려 SNS에

Stack n stack n stack

But I ain’t tryna blend

우린 진짜배기들 하고만 lock in

난 떠났어, 제대로 된 거 찾으러 삼만리

밤새서, 세션, 새 호텔 체크인

그다음 날에 check out, 어깨 위에 짐을 올린

당나귀 당나귀처럼 동서남북 지구 한 바퀴

한 바퀴 돌다 보면 순간 울려 ba ra ring

배꼽에 알람이

It’s time to 아사이

It’s time to 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

한 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 Samba지

혓 속까지 보라색 지니 마치 알라딘

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

Uh uh uh uh uh hundred 아사이

Uh uh uh uh uh bring that 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨 I just choke on 아사이

내가 많이 좋아해 uh uh 아사이

Key Grammar Structures

• 한 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 Samba지

  ➔ Conditional '-(으)면' (If/When)

  ➔ The suffix "-면" is used here to indicate a hypothetical situation or a natural consequence: if you drink and dance, it turns into a Samba vibe.

• 혓 속까지 보라색 지니 마치 알라딘

  ➔ Simile with '마치' (Just like/As if)

  ➔ The word "마치" is used to create a simile, comparing the purple color of the acai to the genie from Aladdin.

• 아쉬웠던 taste, 걷어 근본 없는 토핑

  ➔ Adjective-derived noun modifier '-(으)ㄴ'

  ➔ The ending "-ㄴ" in "아쉬웠던" modifies the noun "taste," turning the past tense adjective into a descriptive phrase meaning "the taste that was lacking/unsatisfying."

• 한 바퀴 돌다 보면 순간 울려 ba ra ring

  ➔ Compound verb '-(으)ㄹ + 보다' (Experience)

  ➔ The structure "-아/어 보다" expresses trying something out or an experience. Here, it suggests that "if you happen to go around... you will hear it."

• 아사이 묻은 tee, 아사이 묻은 pants

  ➔ Passive-like participle '-(으)ㄴ' (Adjective modifier)

  ➔ Here, '묻은' (stuck/stained with) functions as an adjective modifying 'tee' and 'pants,' describing the state of the clothes being stained.

• 난 키워 버려 trend

  ➔ Auxiliary verb '-(으)어 버리다' (Complete/Regretful action)

  ➔ The structure '-아/어 버리다' emphasizes the completion of an action, often implying that the speaker has thoroughly established the trend.

• 난 떠났어, 제대로 된 거 찾으러 삼만리

  ➔ Purpose '-(으)러' (In order to)

  ➔ The ending '-(으)러' indicates the purpose of movement. '찾으러' (in order to find) explains the reason why the artist left.

• All I want is (uh yeah uh yeah)

  ➔ Relative clause implied by omission

  ➔ While this is English, it reflects a common poetic structure where 'All [that] I want is' has the relative pronoun 'that' omitted.
