[English]

A Girl drop, look at that surprise

No girl shows her art

What’s real, make me understand, I’m at the top top top top

Shot, if you look away, bang bang

Shot, you get shot, I’m a killer, ah yeah

Be careful, I’ll be tap tap tap tap

Ah, the playground has quieted down

My friends are gone

Where did they all go? I was searching for the real ones

It’s become tough, trapped inside, but there’s realness

If you’re searching, check my pocket

I don’t wanna be perfect, I don’t wanna be

A worthless copy, I won’t become that, ew

Not even a millimeter, I stand on this stage as myself

If you don’t like it, okay, always ready to pay back

Everything you threw at me

Baby, can’t you hear my voice and my soul, yeah

The me that’s been living

I’m a song, I dance, I’m a soul, I drop

A girl drops, look at that surprise

No girl shows her art

What’s real, make me understand, I’m at the top top top top

Shot, if you look away, bang bang

You get shot, I’m a killer, ah yeah

Be careful, I’ll be tap tap tap tap

Yeah, until now

The number of times I’ve been told

A girl grew taller, hiding sharpness

Easily passing by, this voice is pure gold

I’m a good girl but you’re nasty

Your rap makes me yawn

I don’t give up, I won’t, baby, I’m super top

Look up instead of down, aim high, don’t stop

Since I’m lacking, I’m gonna drop, cook, then drop again

Bring back what’s gone, stack it up

This chance is only for us

The real ones are only us

Fate won’t let me escape

Watch me dropping

A girl drops, look at that surprise

No girl shows her art

What’s real, make me understand, I’m at the top top top top

Shot, if you look away, bang bang

You get shot, I’m a killer, ah yeah

Be careful, I’ll be tap tap tap tap
