Oh my god

No matter who sees, I'm just amazing

Alright

If you look closely, this body is stunning

Alright

You follow me, but

I just want to be in front

You can't catch up to my vibe

I don't care

But if you get too close, it's dangerous

I'm hot, hot, hot, hot fire

Before I get caught

Please, someone tell me

I'm the hottest in the room

Shining like a star

With a bright face

Living boldly

Right now, it's 8 o'clock

The time is 8:30

On a night that feels like a dream

I'm the best

I'm the best

I'm the best

I'm the best

Yeah, I'm the best

Even if I say it, I'm just amazing

Alright

You can't deny this body

Alright

Guys turn to look at me

Girls follow me

This vibe I'm giving off

Every day, they can't help but notice

Like a superstar

You're like a breeze in the night

I shine brightly

No matter the competition, I own it

This is a serious story

If you try to catch up, I

Billion dollar baby

Billion dollar baby

What kind of person are you?

You all know me

Try to catch me if you can

Who's the best?

I'm the best

I'm the best

I'm the best

I'm the best

Yeah, I'm the best

Who can do better than me?

No, no, no, no, na, na, na, na

Who can do better than me?

No, no, no, no, na, na, na, na

Who can do better than me?

No, no, no, no, na, na, na, na
