[English]

Full of impossible things

Even when I feel like I'm losing sight

Before I know it, everything is MEMORIES

I've long forgotten, I'm gonna SHINE

I'm gonna rock right now,

Take your spot and cop the old CROWN

I'm so international, all natural

MC, love to eat, need to PAN!

Oh, my rap style is nuclear

Power generation, what's that? You guys are TALKIN'

Just talking, but we're WALKIN'

Bright red CARPET, get the prize

Chill like an old man in Miami

Super flashy... I'M NO JOKE

But funny, I'M THE BEST

Is this 2009?

Basically, everyone is the same

Champagne and VIP

BoA-chan, yeah yeah! Together

Cheers! LET's PARTY!

They say that, but I'm SORRY

I don't care about that

If you're treating me

Make it a present...

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

No matter what! No matter what!

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

So pushy~

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

I was ignored before...

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

Even with a common face

I might be Cinderella by tomorrow

Because you never know, this LIFE's a MELODY

With just a little MAGIC, I'm gonna SHINE

BUMP BUMP... always like this

YEAH YEAH... going with the flow

BUMP BUMP... kind of casually

YEAH YEAH... even though I'm doing it

BUMP BUMP...

Tell me

Are there rules in this world?

It's casual, but MY WAY

Ain't EASY, I am me...

Every time, the lines are the same

What type? What is it?

Neither A, B, nor O

B-o-A... OK?

Be careful when you're drinking too much

That joke is old~

It's boring, so say GOOD BYE

I don't need that

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

What will you do? What will you do?

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

In the end, I'm all ALONE

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

Finally starting to see

OH-OH-OH-OH-OH

Full of impossible things

Even when I feel like I'm losing sight

Before I know it, everything is MEMORIES

I've long forgotten, I'm gonna SHINE

BUMP BUMP... always like this

YEAH YEAH... going with the flow

BUMP BUMP... kind of casually

YEAH YEAH... even though I'm doing it

BUMP BUMP...

Tell me

Are there rules in this world?

It's casual, but MY WAY

Ain't EASY, I am me...

It's a no-brainer this HOT (HOT)

Step to the scene, they STOP (STOP)

PRAGUE's studded, they say who?

It takes VERBAL to make a PARTY (ROCK)

Yeah... and until morning, until the last

On the way back, get GYUDON (DON)

You want to get WITH IT then BUMP (BUMP)

That's the end, cha-ching

Even with a common face

I might be Cinderella by tomorrow

Because you never know, this LIFE's a MELODY

With just a little MAGIC

Full of impossible things

Even when I feel like I'm losing sight

Before I know it, everything is MEMORIES

I've long forgotten, I'm gonna SHINE

BUMP BUMP...
