[English]

My tee, 5 bucks

My pants, 10,000 won

My vision, billions

Trillions like Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

I call that, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

My tee, 5 bucks

My pants, 10,000 won

Let’s get it, Let’s go

Fashion, Fashion

AN KEONHO, no matter what you say about my clothes

I hold my ground

The belt from my Fruits wish list

Now on my waist

Sorry my granny

Why don’t you come lately

Dear Dongmyo granny

I mean I’m on a plane

Finished the album in LA

Came back looking fly

back on my swag

Foreign money talk, exchange rate daily up

Thrift shop finds got me looking fresh

Pull up boys, scraping away

'Vintage Jesus'

Dongmyo’s where we gather, like a seminar

Hongdae’s where we gather, we set it off

To the heart of Cheongdam-dong, spreading out

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

My tee, 5 bucks

My pants, 10,000 won

My vision, billions

Trillions like Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

I call that, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

My tee, 5 bucks

My pants, 10,000 won

Let’s get it, Let’s go

Fashion, Fashion

Hearts pop pop out

One look and cop cop

Thrift shop master

30,000 won bomber

Feel like rockstar

It’s Met Gala time, Let’s go

Top Designers,

Hongdae got them inspired, Fashion

Come and try

Dongmyo life teaches me

How to hone my energy

Mosh Pit method definitely

Learn it, learn it

You better hurry and learn it

From the graves of clothes we’re revived

Vintage Jesus, came alive

Dongmyo’s where we gather, like a seminar

Hongdae’s where we gather, we set it off

To the heart of Cheongdam-dong, spreading out

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

My tee, 5 bucks

My pants, 10,000 won

My vision, billions

Trillions like Bezos

Dongmyo, Wassup

Hongdae, Wassup

I make them famous

I call that, Fashion

Fashion, Fashion

Key Grammar Structures

• My tee, 5 bucks

  ➔ Ellipsis – omission of the verb "cost" or "is".

  ➔ The verb "cost" is omitted, so the line means "My tee **costs** 5 bucks".

• I make them famous

  ➔ Causative verb pattern: make + object + adjective.

  ➔ "make" is used to cause a change, so the meaning is "I cause them to become **famous**".

• I hold my ground

  ➔ Idiom – “hold my ground” means to stay firm or not retreat.

  ➔ "hold" is literal, but the phrase "my **ground**" is figurative, meaning one’s position or stance.

• I mean I’m on a plane

  ➔ Parenthetical clause introduced by "I mean" to clarify or correct.

  ➔ "I mean" signals that the speaker is clarifying: "**I mean**, I’m on a plane".

• Finished the album in LA

  ➔ Reduced clause – past participle used without "I" or "We" as the subject.

  ➔ The subject is understood from context ("I/We"), so it means "**I/We** finished the album in LA".

• Came back looking fly

  ➔ Participial phrase – "looking" works as a present participle describing the subject.

  ➔ "Came back" is the main verb; "looking **fly**" describes how the subject returned – "they returned **looking fly**".

• You better hurry and learn it

  ➔ Modal construction – contracted form of "had better" expressing advice/urgency.

  ➔ "You **better**" = "You **had better**"; it warns the listener to act quickly.

• From the graves of clothes we’re revived

  ➔ Passive voice – "we’re revived" meaning "we are revived" by an external force.

  ➔ "revived" is a past participle used with "are"; the subject "we" receives the action – "we are **revived**".

• Pull up boys, scraping away

  ➔ Imperative verb + present participle phrase functioning as an adverbial.

  ➔ "Pull up" is a command; "scraping away" describes how they should act – "Pull up, boys, **scraping away**".
