[English]

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip, hip hip

Yuh yuh yuh yuh

We’re moving forward with maximum power

And we’re gonna dominate, pop it

Making headlines, big news topic

My experience points are my countless trophies

No one, nobody can stop me

All the hate gives me a running start

Jump up, jump up

Like a pop-up toaster lift

Working off time

That ratio got us going worldwide

Thirsty day and night

They put us in the desert but we survive

Busy giving our light

Unlike them, we’re getting all the spotlight

Listen to the war cry

Karma, karma, karma, karma

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip, hip hip

Karma, karma, karma, karma

CEREMONY

Hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hooray

CEREMONY

Hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hooray

We did it make some noise wow

Slide ring kiss muah

Catch my award like it's a bouquet

Look both my hands are full

When I’m busy I don’t even have time to blink but that’s okay I prepare another acceptance speech

I feel like I'm the universe, vroom vroom vroom ho

You and I, let’s go celebrate

It’s getting intense now

Flicker, flicker, alarms blaring emergency

We don’t care, show you I'm standing firm

Here and there just look at our paradise

No one knows how far we gon’ end up

Chitter chatter, it’s crowded

There’s always commotion wherever we go

Working off time

That ratio got us going worldwide

Thirsty day and night

They put us in the desert but we survive

Busy giving our light

Unlike them, we’re getting all the spotlight yeah

Listen to the war cry

Karma, karma, karma, karma

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip hooray

Hip hip, hip hip

Karma, karma, karma, karma

CEREMONY

Yeah we gon’ celebrate ’cause we got good

Karma, karma, karma, karma

Calmer, calmer, calmer, that’s our

Karma, karma, karma, karma

Yeah we gon’ celebrate ’cause we got good

Karma, karma, karma, karma

Calmer, calmer, calmer
