[English]

Come on, it’s gon be fuckin’ hard

Special edition and your AI couldn’t copy

I’m leaving clues in the fitting room and it’s hot tea

No I’m not thinking ’bout no exes know they miss me

I got the whole room spinning like it’s tipsy

Don’t bore us take you to the chorus

Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie

Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie

Who else got ‘em obsessed like Jennie

Like like like

Jennie Jennie Jennie

I think I really like

Haters they don’t really like

Cause they can never ever be

But have you ever met

Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

It’s Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

But have you ever met

But have you ever met

But have you ever met

얼말 줘도 못해 서커스짓

포징한번에 만들어 mosh pit

They can't deal with me cause I’m priceless

여러 셀럽들 속에 내 DNA

Get get outta my way

바비가 처키가 되기 전에

Name, shame, blame

Tryna burst my bubble

터트려봐 그럼 더 큰 홀에서

만나는 거야 제니를

Keep shading

예술작품엔 필요해 frame 이

I’ve slayed it, and I graved it

Yes I'm guilty 잘난 게 죄니

Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie

Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie

Who else got ‘em obsessed like Jennie

Like like like

I think I really like

Haters they don’t really like Jennie

Cause they can never ever be Jennie

But have you ever met

Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

It’s Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

Like Jennie Jennie Jennie

Jennie Jennie

Rock with Jennie

Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie

Who else got ’em obsessed like

But have you ever met Jennie

But have you ever met

Jennie Jennie Jennie

It’s Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

Key Grammar Structures

• Come on, it’s gon be fuckin’ hard

  ➔ Informal contraction "gon be" for "going to be".

  ➔ This uses a very informal contraction common in spoken English. It's important to recognize but generally not advisable to use in formal writing.

• No I’m not thinking ’bout no exes know they miss me

  ➔ Double negative ("not thinking 'bout no exes") used for emphasis. Omission of "that" in the relative clause "know they miss me".

  ➔ The double negative is grammatically incorrect in standard English but common in some dialects and informal speech. "Know they miss me" functions as a relative clause, where "that" is implied: "I know *that* they miss me".

• I got the whole room spinning like it’s tipsy

  ➔ Use of "like" as a conjunction comparing the room's spinning to being tipsy. Use of "it's" (it is) instead of "it were" for subjunctive mood in informal context.

  ➔ While "as if" or "as though" are more grammatically correct conjunctions for this comparison, "like" is commonly used in informal speech. The subjunctive mood using "were" after "as if/though" is often replaced with the indicative "is" in casual conversation.

• Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie

  ➔ Informal contraction "wanna" for "want to".

  ➔ "Wanna" is a common contraction in spoken English, signaling an informal tone. It is generally avoided in formal writing.

• Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie

  ➔ Ellipsis: "Keep your hair done, (keep your) nails done". Use of "done" as a past participle acting as an adjective. Comparison using "like".

  ➔ The sentence implies "keep your hair done like Jennie, keep your nails done like Jennie". "Done" here means 'styled' or 'prepared' and modifies "hair" and "nails".

• Cause they can never ever be Jennie

  ➔ Use of "cause" as an informal substitute for "because". Intensifier "ever" for emphasis.

  ➔ "Cause" is a shortened, colloquial version of "because". The word "ever" in "never ever" adds emphasis to the impossibility of becoming Jennie.

• Tryna burst my bubble

  ➔ Informal contraction "Tryna" for "trying to".

  ➔ "Tryna" is a very informal contraction used in spoken language and song lyrics. It is typically avoided in formal writing.
