What's the deal?

This is just the start, I feel arenas

Shout my name

I float from Korea all the way to Ibiza

Set the trends, I'm already one step ahead

New EP made on Apple

Fresh out the freezer

Get a taste

Hiding my true colors, keeping it lowkey

One hundred out of a hundred, everyone falls for it

You carelessly showed your neck, being all kind and vulnerable

In one bite, we bite it, like

Me and my girls we on tonight

We outside, just watch us

Open your eyes in the darkness

Turn it up

All the way up

DDI RO RI

When I walk in like a threat

Like a threat

DDI RO RI

Hear this song inside your head

Your head

I be on that new sh-

Ignore everything else, ignore, ignore

You know I'm the blueprint

I be on that new sh-

On some new sh-

Chic is in my DNA

Check THE LABEL, it's BLACK

I pull up right in front of you

Don't close your eyes, too fast, okay?

Imma take yours, is that okay?

One of a kind from birth

Was taking my time, now I'm game, okay, okay?

Diamond is the key, conversation is a luxury

Tell 'em we gon' get it, if you underestimate us, ouchie!

It's absolute, supreme

You crave it like a fiend

I need a reason, give me that

Oh we love to cause a scene

Me and my girls we on tonight

We outside, just watch us

Open your eyes in the darkness

Turn it up

All the way up

DDI RO RI

When I walk in like a threat

Like a threat

DDI RO RI

Hear this song inside your head

Your head

I be on that new sh-

Ignore everything else

You know I'm the blueprint

I be on that new sh-

On some new sh-

A melody echoing in your head

Just imagining it is a tragedy for you

Keep your distance, don't try to talk to me, talk to me like

Wow, we pulling up, look straight at us

Clear the way, our attitude is loud

Yeah, they know what we about

You hear that DDI RO RI

Wow, we pulling up, look straight at us

Clear the way, our attitude is loud

Yeah, they know what we about

You hear that DDI RO RI
