We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

Compete, compete

I'm already out of the competition

I was shopping for a new synthesizer

I can't reface

That's my music

I captured both tragedy and comedy at once

You know what I mean

Among those fake narcissists

Give me genuine catharsis

I am

I feel like being a movie star

A nickname for a guy like me

There's nothing like that, so my name is untell

You know what I mean?

Since when did my third eye awaken?

My path ahead is shining bright

After making big money, I came back to the city

Back to the city from the jungle

Shake off the sand stuck to my feet

Yeah, we’re riding to the peak now we’re up

Ring the bell and on the next stage, yeah we’re done

Done, done, done

Shake off the mud

Gimme that sunshine

Everything that’s growing comes closer little by little

At the pace of my steps

My life is so, so elevated

Shake off mistakes

We’re already the greatest, babe

All these people love it, I innovate

So what?

We’re different, yeah

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

I said “I’ll be your PTSD,” but I’m not

When I made it to the final, I’m the one left standing

I drop verses like diamonds; yours are just rhinestones

The G.O.A.T.S take responsibility, El Capo

No money, only fun—I'll drop the address

Feeling panic because I’ve never experienced it

I’m the best at running without a ranking; I’m a true lover

I need a personal driver; my team is big

I expected the day I’d reach this spot

The final stage has great atmosphere

Like Winnie the Pooh with honey, I dip it

My life is so sweet; I dedicate it to the Lord, glory

Yeah

I cried a lot this season

Stuck in front of the camera at home

Now I’m smiling like a passport photo

This is God’s plan, yessir

Yes sir, my dream is already quite close to reality

Let’s get closer—come to me

My print is dark blue, like a deep ocean

Overcoming Yaksha, keep styling it

The smell of money, I fly with it

Someone says YLN is so wild

But I’m so smooth

Just play with it

Man, I don’t mess with you, you bad guys

I’ve been on my own island, doing everything alone

Now more people are showing up to help me

Find out who they are in the album

Enlisting on May 4

Album dropping this month, so crazy

My heart’s color is white right now

Burning brightly through my last twenties

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

A guy who hasn’t even tried Yaksha

Who are you?

G.A.N.G baby

Is it still a dream?

A senseless, bewildered feeling

But that’s the life

Since I handed over the mic

I just spit it out

After the long night passes, I hear

News of the sunrise

Gotta clean out the block

Come on, shake that butt

I get it when I want it

Now is the time to act

Okay, I’ll push that

I push even the locked doors

Look far, this stage is just a tollgate

Keep taking the high‑pass, pushing without limits, all cul‑de‑sacs

Hey, Mr. So‑and‑so

Every single time you speak, it stinks

Is a life that’s only fed by hatred?

Go think twice about it

Meanwhile, I’ll go to a place where no one’s there

We'll be the greatest

I’ll become a legend by the time you finally catch up

The test given right away is

Answer it with a bitter smile

Business on my table

We'll be the greatest

Word up, Wolseiner

Spitta’s spitta stand up, from contrast creatures to night thorns

We came around and around, we’re back here again

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

We'll be the greatest

On your playlist

Shattering trauma

I got ya got ya to yaksha

I’m livin’ life like I’ve got nothin’ to lose

The more I look back, the clearer the memories become, yeah now

I’m livin’ life moving completely as I want

Even without saying, everything is visible

I choose a new path

I'm unchained

Man I don't play with you 이 나쁜 녀석들

난 여태 섬이 돼서 혼자 다 해왔거든

이젠 날 도와줄 사람들이 점점 생기네

그게 누구인진 앨범에서 확인해

  ➔ The phrase **“like being”** uses the preposition *like* followed by a gerund (*being*) to express a similarity in feeling.

• I'll be your PTSD

  ➔ Future simple with will

  ➔ The contraction **“I'll”** stands for *I will*, showing a simple future intention.

• I said "I'll be your PTSD" but I'm not

  ➔ Reporting speech with past tense + but + present simple contrast

  ➔ The clause **“I said ‘I’ll be…’”** uses past tense *said* for reported speech, while **“but I’m not”** switches to present simple to create a contrast.

• I need personal driver 내 팀이 커서

  ➔ Verb + object + reason clause (because) – “내 팀이 커서” functions as a causal clause

  ➔ In **“I need personal driver”** the verb *need* takes the noun phrase *personal driver* as its object; the Korean **“내 팀이 커서”** means “because my team is growing” and acts as a causal clause.

• I'm livin' life like I've got nothin' to lose

  ➔ like + clause with present perfect (I've got) – comparison

  ➔ The structure **“like I've got”** uses *like* followed by a clause in the present perfect (*I've got*) to draw a comparison.

  ➔ **“We’ll”** is the contraction of *we will*, indicating a confident prediction about the future.

• I'm real lover

  ➔ Linking verb + adjective used as noun complement (identity)

  ➔ **“I'm”** (I am) links the subject *I* to the noun phrase *real lover*, where *real* functions as an adjective describing the noun *lover*.

• I get it when I got it get it when I want

  ➔ Zero conditional (present simple + present simple) for habitual truth

  ➔ **“when I got it … when I want”** repeats a *when* clause with present simple verbs (*got, want*) to describe a regular, repeated situation.

• I'm unchained

  ➔ Linking verb + past participle used as adjective (resultative state)

  ➔ **“I'm”** (I am) links to the past participle *unchained*, which functions as an adjective describing a state of freedom.
