[English]

갈만큼 가겠지

오늘밤도 길겠지

분위기 타겠지

졸졸 따라 올 테지

난 참 바쁜 girl

I welcome you to my world

2NE1

아름다운 Seoul city

시끄러운 음악소리

까만 눈 갈색머리

따라 하긴 too slow

태도는 확실하게

자신감 하늘 향해

뻔뻔 당당하게

원한다 해도 Can't touch this

눈빛은 찌릿찌릿

심장을 beat it beat it

콧노래 Ladi dadi

춤추는 Body body

흥분은 No no

자 Here we go go

세상을 거꾸로

뒤집어 놓을 Show show

'Cause I'm so bad bad but I'm so good good

Yeah I'm so bad bad and I'm so hood hood

'Cause I'm so bad bad but I'm so good good

Yeah I'm so bad bad and I'm so hood hood

Can't nobody hold us down

날 멈추려 하지마

모두 미칠 때까지 다 지칠 때까지 tonight

Can't nobody hold us down

Can't nobody can't nobody hold us down

갈 때까지 갈 때까지 갔어 난

Can't nobody can't nobody hold us down

'Cause We keep rockin' we we rock rockin' yeah

앞이 깜깜해도 달려가

네가 막아도 난 뚫고가

더 Faster 좀 더 Faster

눈을 감아봐, 높이 날아 올라봐

철없어 그게 매력인 걸

겁 없어 내 젊음인 걸

망가짐 따윈 없어

이미 벌써 Game over

정신 없이 미치자

Right now I don't give a

볼륨을 더 키워라

세상을 깨우자

'Cause I'm so bad bad but I'm so good good

Yeah I'm so bad bad and I'm so hood hood

'Cause I'm so bad bad but I'm so good good

Yeah I'm so bad bad and I'm so hood hood

Can't nobody hold us down

날 멈추려 하지마

모두 미칠 때까지 다 지칠 때까지 tonight

Can't nobody hold us down

Can't nobody can't nobody hold us down

갈 때까지 갈 때까지 갔어 난

Can't nobody can't nobody hold us down

'Cause We keep rockin' we we rock rockin' yeah yeah yeah
