[English]

I've been in my bag

Counting up my steps

Our eyes are heavy, when we're filled with dreams

Watch my moves

Think I might just break my back

Bag packed tight, about to burst, gotta tie it up

Know I gotta get that

Whoa, jet ski on my toes

Our energy's flowing

Go-getter, one more pose

Whoa, one step to the goal

It's always summer in front of the mirror

My wet training clothes, run it up

Even if we go around in circles, we go straight

We believe in ourselves, R double I Z E

Beep beep, a dream team dreaming dreams

Protecting our sincerity

Hundredth time, but it's never enough

The vision we filled to the brim as one

When our feet hit the ground and we're out of breath

The shivers surrounding me, that's fire

I've been in my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

Please don't touch my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

I've been in my bag

Counting up my steps

Our eyes are heavy, when we're filled with dreams

Watch my moves

Think I might just break my back

Bag packed tight, about to burst, gotta tie it up

Know I gotta get that

Know I gotta get that, bad

Forgetting the impossible, every day

The flowing sweat is a splash

The first stage that was a burden

Now, where to next?

Spur on once more and dash

What can't we do when we're together?

Packed full, we'll do it until we make it

24, like a flame, forgot how to stop it

Pedal to the floor, image like swoosh swoosh

It's already started

Watch how we make it real

It's the sweat we shed together

Everything inside, even our worn-out shoes

We pack it up and just move on up to the next

Checks on that, every time, deep in the vibe

Never give up, never, RIIZE will continue to rise

The sound our hands make when they touch, it's tight

The shivers surrounding us, that's fire

I've been in my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

Please don't touch my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

I've been in my bag

Counting up my steps

Our eyes are heavy, when we're filled with dreams

Watch my moves

Think I might just break my back

Bag packed tight, about to burst, gotta tie it up

Know I gotta get that

A hot day, just for a moment

Flows away, and morning comes again

I asked myself, what's on my mind?

But do you know?

The sparkling light shines on us

When we look into each other's eyes

The preparation is already finished

Who's gonna stop us?

We are still wanting more

Anything you want I can do that

Walk up to the stage, they like, "Who that?"

When you and I dream the same dream

Say it, we are rising all the way

I've been in my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

Please don't touch my

Bag bag bag bag bag bag bag

I've been in my bag

Counting up my steps

Our eyes are heavy, when we're filled with dreams

Watch my moves

Think I might just break my back

Bag packed tight, about to burst, gotta tie it up

Know I gotta get that

불가능은 잊은 채 매일

흐르는 땀은 Splash

부담이 됐던 First stage

이제는 Where to next

한 번 더 박차고 Dash

우리가 뭉치면 못할 게 뭔데

가득 챙겨 우린 될 때까지 해

24 마치 불꽃 멈추는 법 Forgot it

Pedal to floor image like 슉슉

시작 됐어 이미

지켜봐 How we make it real

함께 흘린 땀이지

닳은 신발까지 안에 전부

챙겨 다음으로 올라갈 뿐이지

Checks on that 매번 Deep in the vibe

Know I gotta get that

뜨거웠던 하루 잠시

흐르고 다시 온 아침

내게 물어봤지 What's on my mind?

But do you know?

반짝이는 빛이 우릴 비추고

서로의 눈 맞추면

이미 준비는 끝났지

누가 우릴 막지

We are still wanting more

Anything you want I can do that

Walk up to the stage they like “Who that?”

Key Grammar Structures

• Think I might just break my back

  ➔ Modal verb of possibility: "might"

  ➔ "Might" indicates a possibility or a probability that something could happen. In this case, the speaker is suggesting they could potentially break their back due to the weight of their 'bag'.

• Know I gotta get that

  ➔ Informal contraction: "gotta" (got to)

  ➔ "Gotta" is a colloquial shortening of "got to", expressing obligation or necessity. It means "have to" or "must".

• 우린 우릴 믿지 R double I Z E

  ➔ Reflexive pronoun: "우릴" (ourselves/us)

  ➔ The phrase "우린 우릴 믿지" means "We believe in ourselves." The use of the reflexive pronoun emphasizes the self-reliance and confidence of the group.

• 백번째 But it’s never enough

  ➔ Adverb of frequency: "never"

  ➔ "Never" indicates that something does not happen at any time. In this context, it emphasizes that achieving something, even after a hundred attempts, is still not enough.

• 우리가 뭉치면 못할 게 뭔데

  ➔ Conditional sentence structure: "If...then..."

  ➔ This sentence translates to "What is there that we can't do if we unite?" or "What can't we do if we come together?". It implies that there is nothing they cannot achieve as long as they work as a team.

• 시작 됐어 이미

  ➔ Past perfect tense implication

  ➔ While the explicit tense marker isn't present in "시작 됐어 이미", the adverb "이미" (already) strongly implies that the action of starting has already been completed before the present moment, similar to the meaning conveyed by the past perfect tense. The actual tense is past simple, but the adverb 'already' change the meaning

• Anything you want I can do that

  ➔ Omission of relative pronoun: "that/which"

  ➔ The sentence is a shortened form of "Anything that/which you want, I can do that." The relative pronoun "that" or "which" is omitted in informal speech and lyrics. This is a common feature of spoken English.
