[English]

분명 나쁜 아이는 아니어도

또 틀에 가두면 we break it

Bum no bigger than the girl nextdoor

무대 서면 we fake it

No white collar 근데 얜 좀 쳐

When I put mans in their places

모든 시선들은 날 따라와

But we ain't even famous

...

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

...

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

...

Money don’t make friends, only got my fam

Pull up with my M’s and I make the money dance

Funny how it goes but this is how it ends

This is how I live by the name Tarzzan

I ain’t even famous

다들 날 보면 오 they say less

And my kit in my whip is the latest

내 가친 조 단위 임마 불러봐

Name is “The Greatest Unfamous”

...

느껴져 내 분위기

When I walk 다 돌아봐

I be gettin what I need

Those things I’ve got

Think it’s going to my head

Know you lookin’ when I dance

Take a quick pic for your friend

내 이름 알아둬

...

분명 나쁜 아이는 아니어도

또 틀에 가두면 we break it

Bum no bigger than the girl nextdoor

무대 서면 we fake it

No white collar 근데 얜 좀 쳐

When I put mans in their places

모든 시선들은 날 따라와

But we ain't even famous

...

I'm stacking my dollars

난 뿌리부터 달라, 초록 빛깔 color

감출 수 없어, 나잖아 빛이

Not even famous but they wanna be us

같은 공기지만 우린 너무 다른 위치

비교 말어 걔넨 전부 구려

똑같은 걸 해도 I do it better

말해 뭐해 I’m a trendsetter

All day show ‘em 끝없는 체력

...

내 표적은 네 머리

When I walk 다 돌아봐

I be gettin what I need

Those things I’ve got

Think it’s going to my head

Know you lookin’ when I dance

Take a quick pic for your friend

내 이름 알아둬

...

분명 나쁜 아이는 아니어도

또 틀에 가두면 we break it

범 무서운지 모르고 덤벼

겁 없이 I just face it

No white collar 근데 얜 좀 쳐

When I put mans in their places

모든 시선들은 날 따라와

But we ain't even famous

...

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

...

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

...

  ➔ This ending is attached to verbs or adjectives to express a concession, meaning "even if" or "even though." It indicates that the following clause occurs despite the condition in the first clause. Here, "아니어도" means "even though (I) am not."

• 또 틀에 가두면 we break it

  ➔ -으면 (if, when)

  ➔ This ending is attached to the stem of a verb or adjective to express a condition or a temporal relationship, meaning "if" or "when."

• No white collar 근데 얜 좀 쳐

  ➔ -는데 (but, and, indicating background information)

  ➔ This versatile ending connects clauses, often providing background information, a reason, or a contrast. It can be translated as "but," "and," or simply sets the scene. Here, "근데" is a colloquial contraction of "그런데" (and so, by the way, but), which uses the -는데 form. It serves to introduce a contrasting or additional point.

• 내 가친 조 단위 임마 불러봐

  ➔ -아/어 보다 (try doing, try to see)

  ➔ This ending is attached to a verb stem to express trying an action, or doing something to see what happens. It often implies an attempt or an experience. Here, "불러봐" means "try calling" or "call and see."

• 느껴져 내 분위기

  ➔ -어지다/-아지다 (to become, to be [passive voice])

  ➔ This ending is attached to adjectives to show a change of state (to become X), or to verbs to form the passive voice (to be X-ed). Here, "느껴져" (from 느끼다 'to feel' + -어지다) means "is felt" or "can be felt," indicating that the atmosphere is felt by others.

• 내 이름 알아둬

  ➔ -아/어 두다 (do something in advance/for later, keep something in a state)

  ➔ This ending indicates that an action is performed for future use or to keep a certain state. It implies preparation or maintaining something. Here, "알아둬" (from 알다 'to know' + -아 두다) means "know (it) and keep it in mind" or "remember it for later."

• 감출 수 없어

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 수 없다 (cannot, unable to)

  ➔ This grammatical construction expresses inability or impossibility. It literally means "there is no way to do X" or "cannot do X." The verb stem ends with a vowel or 'ㄹ' takes '-ㄹ 수 없다', and stems ending with a consonant take '-을 수 없다'. Here, "감출 수 없어" means "cannot hide."

• 나잖아 빛이

  ➔ -잖아 (you know, isn't it?, as you know)

  ➔ This ending is attached to verbs or adjectives to confirm something the speaker believes the listener already knows or should know. It adds a nuance of "you know, right?" or "as you can see/hear." Here, "나잖아" (from 나 'I/me' + 이다 'to be' + -잖아) emphasizes "it's me, you know!"

• 비교 말어 걔넨 전부 구려

  ➔ -지 말다 (do not, stop doing)

  ➔ This construction is used to form a negative imperative, telling someone not to do an action. "말다" means "to stop" or "to cease." "말어" is a colloquial or casual contraction of "말아라" or "말아." Here, "비교 말어" means "don't compare."
