[English]

Full on, still going

Full on, in the middle of it

Always, always

Full on, still head over heels, hit the switch

Full on, still ongoing, eyes wide open

Full on, still engrossed, what a super idiot

Full on, full on, always locked on in my dreams

Right in the middle, with a flow like a perfect hourglass figure, on & on

Once you're hooked, keep pushing through till death!

Ya ya, always full on for you, full on for this beat

Uh, let’s go with us, the show must go on

Excuse me for a moment

What makes you happiest when you’re doing it?

Keep going, and even if you leave your place, you’ll have wealth

Take it easy with what’s in front of you

Even at Starbucks, you need a guardian with you

A tomorrow you can get lost in

A today you’ve grown passionate about

The fire lit that day

For me, every day is just one day

Team friends, always friends, the dope ones are still friends

Turning a rental car into a lowrider, slipping through immigration without a passport

Unbreakable switch, spit that’s too sharp

How’s it going, cool brothers?

Whether you’re in or not

All year round, gotta get over

Forgot to turn it off, forgot to press it, the digital assistant’s gonna scold you

Air conditioner in summer, heater in winter

Featuring Busta, new leaders

In a bad mood? Is this spot good?

Whatever, just go with it, whatever (whatever)

One more time

Belatedly, Gangnam Style

Full on, still head over heels, hit the switch

Full on, still ongoing, eyes wide open

Full on, still engrossed, what a super idiot

Full on, full on, always locked on just like this

Never turned the switch on (on) before

Naturally, it’s all love

Seeing things from a third-person perspective

Carefree yet serious, happy hour

Veterans giving the side-eye

What can the rookies say?

Acting like female streamers

Never turned it on before

Yeah, it’s crazy, don’t know how to stop

Aren’t we the rumored weird five?

If you don’t know, turn it on

If you love it, love you too

Keep on, just keep on, take care

Check it, masturbatory kind of thrill

No doubt, meeting you was miraculous

Tragedy, comedy, switch perspectives

Vroom vroom, step up, ha, ha, ha, step up

Hey yo, hallelujah, embrace it

Either way, EE JUMP, do ya, do ya?

Open the funk, got it now?

Head, pop open, what the—beep

Live in a dream, needless to say, a great actor

Sitting next to you, back straight, slapped with a fan, stars shining

Didn’t ask—didn’t say, huh?

Admiringly bold

From the start, sleeves rolled up

Breathing hard, on the break beats

Full on, still head over heels, hit the switch

Full on, still ongoing, eyes wide open

Full on, still engrossed, what a super idiot

Full on, full on, always locked on in my dreams

Full on

Full on, full on

Full on

Full on, full on

Always locked on just like this

Full on, still going

...

目の前の事甘えて

スタバにも保護者同伴

夢中になれる明日

夢中になってきた今日まで

あの日ついた火

僕にとって毎日が１日

チーム友達 ずっと友達 ドープな奴は今だに友達

代車をシャコタンにしながらパスポート持たずにイミグレ滑り込むくらい

切れないスイッチ キレ過ぎるスピット

調子はどうだいイカした兄弟

入れてようが入れて無かろうが

年がら年中 gotta get over

切り忘れ 押し忘れ 電子ちゃんに怒られちゃうね

真夏のクーラー 真冬のヒーター

バスタをフューチャー 新しいリーダース

機嫌ワリぃか？ この辺が良いか？

まぁいっかイッとけまぁいっか (まぁいっか)

今さらながらのカンナムスタイル

ど on まだゾッコン スイッチを叩け

ど on まだ続行 目かっ開け

スイッチオン (オン)したことないんだわ

のんきも本気でハッピーアワー

ベテランが睨みをきかせる

ルーキー達に何を言われる

やり口は女性配信者

やっぱ on にしたことはないんだわ

そう やばいねかなり やめ方分かんない

巷で噂の変な５人じゃない？

知らないなら Turn it on

大好きなら Love you too で

On keep on そのまんま on でシクヨロ

Check it オナニー的な刺激

No doubt 出会っちまって奇跡的

悲劇 喜劇 視点切り替えりゃ

ブルルル step up, ha, ha, ha, step up

Hey yo, ハレルヤ 開き直れば

どっちだって EE JUMP, do ya, do ya?

Open the funk さぁわかったか？

頭 パカっと what'a fuc ピー

夢の中 生中継 言わずもがなの名優です

隣に座って背筋伸ばす ハリセンはたかれ星が光る

訊いてないよー 言って無いもん はぁ？

惚れ惚れして太々しく

こちとらハナから腕まくり

鼻息荒げて on the break beats

ど on まだゾッコン スイッチを叩け

ど on まだ続行 目かっ開け

ど on まだ没頭 弩級のバカね

ど on ど on 夢ん中でずっと lock on
