[English]

Take a sip of tabara

Caffeine’s kickin’ in again

The beat I was making last night

Saved it on my phone, hit the streets

Five heads spinning around

Smiling, hehe

Put my phone on DND

Seeing all kinds of green, green

Shh, in the cold snap

I put my hands in my pocket

Outside in the dead of night

Hurry to a spot with no one

I’ll do that sh- with my team

Something someone might hate

Not my problem, get it, get it

The light’s turned green, green

Flaky ears, flaky ears (that’s red-red)

Reading the room (that’s red-red)

Hiding the stew pot (that’s red-red)

Climb over the fence, green, green

Covering my behind (that’s red-red)

Checking the surroundings (that’s red-red)

Acting all cool (that’s red-red)

You should come mess with the team

Load all my friends into a truck

Hit the streets, spinning around

Roam the streets, then head back to the studio

Cookin’ up till we get stinky

Flaky ears, flaky ears (that’s red-red)

Reading the room (that’s red-red)

Hiding the stew pot (that’s red-red)

You should come mess with the team

They called me a freak

Like under a spell, yeah

The tracks I was making, yeah

Friends gathered to listen, yeah

The pack grows every day

Stepping like the real deal

Screaming loud, yeah, yeah

Nodding my head, yeah, yeah

F1, don’t raise the red flag

You should come mess with the team

(Tell me what’s red)

The cold, neglected city (that’s red)

That dusty CD (that’s red)

A quiet stage is boring

Frustrating, my crown turns bright red (that’s red)

We gotta pop out to show how

Learn again, you gotta note down

Bring on the second chaos

The light’s turned green, green

Flaky ears, flaky ears (that’s red-red)

Reading the room (that’s red-red)

Hiding the stew pot (that’s red-red)

Climb over the fence, green, green

Covering my behind (that’s red-red)

Checking the surroundings (that’s red-red)

Acting all cool (that’s red-red)

You should come mess with the team

Turn it up

I told you to turn it up

I don’t mess with no stupid red signs

The light’s turned green, green

Flaky ears, flaky ears (that’s red-red)

Reading the room (that’s red-red)

Hiding the stew pot (that’s red-red)

Climb over the fence, green, green

Covering my behind (that’s red-red)

Checking the surroundings (that’s red-red)

Acting all cool (that’s red-red)

You should come mess with the team

Load all my friends into a truck

Hit the streets, spinning around

Roam the streets, then head back to the studio

Cookin’ up till we get stinky

Flaky ears, flaky ears (that’s red-red)

Reading the room (that’s red-red)

Hiding the stew pot (that’s red-red)

You should come mess with the team

카페인이 또 kickin in

어젯밤에 만들던 beat

다섯이 고개를 빙빙

입꼬린 올라가 히히

핸드폰 바꿔 놔 DND

Outside 한 밤에

Key Grammar Structures

• 따바라 한모금 sip

  ➔ Noun + Particle + Noun (onomatopoeia) + Verb (English loanword)

  ➔ This line uses a Korean onomatopoeia '따바라' to describe the sound of taking a sip, combined with the English loanword 'sip'. It demonstrates the blending of languages common in K-pop lyrics. The particle '한모금' quantifies the sip.

• Seeing all kinds of green green

  ➔ Gerund + Determiner + Adjective (repeated for emphasis)

  ➔ The repetition of 'green' emphasizes the visual abundance of something green, likely money or a specific environment. 'Seeing' functions as a gerund, acting as the subject of the implied verb 'is'.

• 알 바가 아니여 get it get it

  ➔ Noun + Particle + Verb (negative) + English phrase (repeated for emphasis)

  ➔ This line uses a colloquial Korean expression '알 바가 아니여' meaning 'it's none of my business' or 'I don't care'. The repetition of 'get it get it' reinforces the dismissive attitude.

• 팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (that’s red-red)

  ➔ Noun (repeated for emphasis) + Parenthetical explanation (English)

  ➔ '팔랑귀' refers to someone easily swayed or influenced. The repetition emphasizes this trait. The parenthetical 'that's red-red' connects this trait to the song's central theme of being cautious and aware of danger (represented by 'red').
