[English]

BLACKPINK in your area

Here I am, fallen apart tall

Breaking through the floor, down to the basement

Reaching out to catch the end of my clothes

Even if I stretch my hands way up high

Light up the sky again in this dark place

Looking into your eyes, I’ll kiss you goodbye

Laugh as much as you want, serves you right

Now, you all, one, two, three

Ha, how you like that?

You’re gonna like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that

How you like that? (Bada-bing, bada-boom-boom-boom)

How you like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that?

Now look at you, now look at me, look at you, now look at me

Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?

Now look at you, now look at me, look at you, now look at me

Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?

...

Your girl needs it all, and that’s a hundred

One hundred out of a hundred, I want my share

Let karma come and get some

But it’s unavoidable, oh well

What’s up? I’m right back (right back)

Pull the trigger, cock it back (cock back)

Plain Jane gets hijacked, don’t like me?

Then tell me how you like that, like that

Shining like stars in this dark place

With that smile, I’ll kiss you goodbye

Laugh as much as you want, serves you right

Now, you all, one, two, three

Ha, how you like that?

You’re gonna like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that

How you like that? (Bada-bing, bada-boom-boom-boom)

How you like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that?

Now look at you, now look at me, look at you, now look at me

...

Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?

Now look at you, now look at me, look at you, now look at me

Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?

Falling with no wings, I crashed and burned

Lost in the darkness, trapped in my days

At that moment, you should have ended me

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane

Yeah-eh-eh-eh

...

Bring out your boss, girl

Yeah-eh-eh-eh

BLACKPINK!

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (how you like that?)

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (you gon’ like that)

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo (how you like that?)

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

...

보란 듯이 무너졌어

바닥을 뚫고 저 지하까지

옷 끝자락 잡겠다고

저 높이 두 손을 뻗어 봐도

다시 캄캄한 이곳에 light up the sky

네 두 눈을 보며, I'll kiss you goodbye

실컷 비웃어라 꼴 좋으니까

이제 너희, 하나, 둘, 셋

백 개 중에 백, 내 몫을 원해

날개 잃은 채로 추락했던 날

어두운 나날 속에 갇혀 있던 날

그때쯤에 넌 날 끝내야 했어

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane

Yeah-eh-eh-eh

Bring out your boss, bitch
