Arson

Let's burn, burn, burn, burn

Let's burn, burn, burn, burn

Burn, burn, burn, burn (no)

Burn, burn, burn, burn (no)

It's done, done, done, done

It's done, done, done, done

Done, done, done, done (arson)

Done, done, done, done (arson)

Let's burn, 내 열정에 burn

Let's burn, my passion burns

내 염원에 burn, 내 삶 속을 burn

Burn in my longing, burn, burn through my life

Every day I ran, 멈출 수 없던

Every day I ran, unstoppable

그때 그 시절, I burned it all

Back then, I burned it all

And I wanted it all, 명예는 first

And I wanted it all, fame was first

돈? Of course, 인기까지도

Money? Of course, even popularity

내 스스로가 과열이 될 수밖에 없던

I couldn’t help but become overwhelmed

뭣도 모른 무식한 내 야망의 원동력

My ignorant ambitions, my driving force

When I sweat, ooh

When I sweat, ooh

기름 샤워해 불을 지필 수 있게

Pour oil on myself, spark the fire

On my feet, on my legs, 더 뜨겁게, run my way

On my feet, on my legs, hotter, I run my way

달아오르는 성적 또 인기는 정점

Ready to ignite, peak of success and popularity

비례하는 born hater 매번 울리는 경적

Every rival honks in protest, affronts that grow

이마저 좋아 'cause with my fans

Even I like this, ‘cause I shine with my fans

With my label, with my fellaz

With my label, with my friends,

같이 함께 타오르기에 all day

Together we burn all day long

합리적인 공범, 방화범 was fun

A willing accomplice, the arsonist, it was fun

무서울 건 없어, 한 치 앞, fuck off (fuck off)

Nothing to fear, just a step ahead, fuck off (fuck off)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

"Right, 내가 바로 불을 지폈지" (지폈지)

'Right, I set the fire,' I did (I did)

이젠 나에게 물어, "Choose what?"

Now ask me, ‘Choose what?’

그 불을 끌지 더 타오를지 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, arson)

Should I douse the flames or let them blaze (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, arson)

It's done, 나의 꿈도 done

It's done, my dreams are fulfilled

큰 성과도 done, 내 할 몫도 done

Great achievements and my part are done

더 이상은 none, 과유불급이야

No more than that, moderation is key

박수 칠 때 떠나는 게 곧 멋

Leave while everyone’s cheering, that’s cool

내가 불을 켰던 건 나를 위함이었어

The fire I lit was for myself

세상이 타오를 줄 누가 알았겠어?

Who knew the world would catch fire like this?

잠시 식힐 때쯤 보니, 내 흔적들이 보여

When I looked to cool down, I saw my traces

끄기엔 너무 큰불, 심한 방화였단 걸 (oh, shit)

The blaze was too big to extinguish, a serious arson (oh, shit)

뜨거워, 안돼, 괴로워 잠 깨

It's hot, no, I suffer, wake up

내 이면과 contact 무서운 상태

My shadow and contact, in a frightening state

Nobody can't, nobody stop, shit, 그 불을 끄기엔

Nobody can, nobody stops, shit, to put out that fire

오직 나만이 가능해, 혼돈의 fireman (shit)

Only I can, the chaos’s fireman (shit)

Oh, 진압해도 재처럼

Oh, even if I suppress it, it’s like ash

어둠의 길일 거라고, tell myself, uh

They say it’s a path of darkness, I tell myself, uh

한 치 앞 큰 관문, 필요한 나의 수

A major challenge just ahead, my necessary move

돌을 던질 판도 비껴가는 한 수 (let's burn)

A clever move, sidestepping the stone-throwing game (let's burn)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

"Right, 내가 바로 불을 지폈지" (지폈지)

'Right, I set the fire,' I did (I did)

이젠 나에게 물어, "Choose what?"

Now ask me, ‘Choose what?’

그 불을 끌지 더 타오를지 (yeah, yeah, yeah, it's done)

Should I douse the flames or let them blaze (yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s done)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

If anyone asks me (asks me)

"Right, 내가 바로 불을 지폈지" (지폈지)

'Right, I set the fire,' I did (I did)

이젠 나에게 물어, "Choose what?"

Now ask me, ‘Choose what?’

그 불을 끌지 더 타오를지 (arson)

Should I douse the flames or let them blaze (arson)
