[English]

My tee, 5 bucks

Pants, ten grand

My vision, a few billion

A few trillion, Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

I call that, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

My tee, 5 bucks

Pants, ten grand

Let’s get it, Let’s go

Fashion, Fashion

An Geon-ho, no matter what you say about the clothes I bought

I stand my ground

The belt from the item I saved on Fruits is

now on my waist

Sorry my granny

Why haven’t you come lately?

Offended Dongmyo grandma

This is a plane

Finished the album in LA

Coming back looking fresh

back on my swag

Foreign currency talk, exchange rates rising daily

Thrift finds, Got me looking fresh

Pull up boys, swipe it clean

‘Vintage Jesus’

Gather in Dongmyo, like a seminar

Gather in Hongdae, we set it off

Spreading out to the heart of Cheongdam-dong

Squad is on the way but we can’t wrap it up

My tee, 5 bucks

Pants, ten grand

My vision, a few billion

A few trillion, Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

I call that, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

My tee, 5 bucks

Let’s get it, Let’s go

Fashion, Fashion

Heart pops out

Cop it right away, cop cop

Thrift veteran

Thirty-thousand won jacket

Feel like a rockstar

Straight to the Met Gala, Let’s go

Top Designers,

Taste Hongdae, go crazy, Fashion

Come and try

From Dongmyo life, I’ve built my stamina

Learned how to do the Mosh Pit

Learn it, learn it

You learn it too, quick

Reborn from the grave of clothes

Vintage Jesus, came alive

Gather in Dongmyo, like a seminar

동묘에서 모여, 마치 세미나

Gather in Hongdae, we set it off

Spreading out to the heart of Cheongdam-dong

Squad is on the way but we can’t wrap it up

My tee, 5 bucks

Pants, ten grand

My vision, a few billion

A few trillion, Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

안건호, 내가 산 옷 보고 뭐라고 말해도

후르츠 찜해놓은 상품에 있었던 벨트는

now on my 허리

Sorry my granny

요즘 왜 안 오니

섭하신 동묘 할머니

여긴 비행기

LA에서 앨범을 끝내고

멋있게 돌아와

back on my swag

외화 talk, 환율 올라 매일

구제 판, Got me looking fresh

Pull up boys, 샥샥 긁어내
