[English]

Green, green

따바라 한 모금 sip (Ooh)

Caffeine 또 kickin' in

어젯밤에 만들던 beat

내 폰에다 담아서 거리로 나가서

다섯이 고개를 빙빙

입꼬린 올라가, 히히

핸드폰 바꿔 놔 D-N-D

Seeing all kinds of green, green

쉿, 한파에 (한파에)

I put my hands in my pocket (Pocket)

Outside, 한 밤에 (한 밤에)

사람 없는 스팟으로 빨리 (Brr)

I'll do that shit all with my team (Team)

누군가 싫어할 짓 (짓)

알 바가 아니여 get it, get it

신호등 바뀌었어 green, green

팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (That's red, red)

눈치나 살피기 (That's red, red)

도가니 사리기 (That's red, red)

넘어가 울타리 green, green

궁뎅이 가리기 (That's red, red)

주변을 살피기 (That's red, red)

쿨한 척 척하기 (That's red, red)

You should come mess with the team

내 친구들 전부 한 트럭에다 담아서

거리로 나가서 빙빙

거리서 돌다가 돌아가 studio

Cookin' up 'til we get stinky

팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (That's red, red)

눈치나 살피기 (That's red, red)

도가니 사리기 (That's red, red)

You should come mess with the team

They called me a freak, 홀린 듯이, yeah

만들던 tracks, yeah, 듣고 모인 friends, yeah

하루가 갈수록 늘어가 pack

진짜배기처럼 밟아가 step (Ah)

Screaming loud like yeah, yeah

고개 까딱여 like yeah, yeah

F1, 들지 마 red flag

You should come mess with the team (Tell me what's red)

차갑게 방치된 city (That's red)

먼지가 쌓인 그 CD (That's red)

정숙한 무대는 시시해

답답해 정수리 시뻘게지지 (That's red)

We gotta pop out to show how

다시 배워 봐, you gotta note down

불러와 버려 두 번째 혼란

신호등 바뀌었어 green, green

팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (That's red, red)

눈치나 살피기 (That's red, red)

도가니 사리기 (That's red, red)

넘어가 울타리 green, green

궁뎅이 가리기 (That's red, red)

주변을 살피기 (That's red, red)

쿨한 척 척하기 (That's red, red)

You should come mess with the team

Ayy (Yeah, yeah)

Turn it up, ayy

I told you to turn it up

I don't mess with no stupid red signs

신호등 바뀌었어 green, green

팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (That's red, red)

눈치나 살피기 (That's red, red)

도가니 사리기 (That's red, red)

넘어가 울타리 green, green

궁뎅이 가리기 (That's red, red)

주변을 살피기 (That's red, red)

쿨한 척 척하기 (That's red, red)

You should come mess with the team

내 친구들 전부 한 트럭에다 담아서

거리로 나가서 빙빙

거리서 돌다가 돌아가 studio

Cookin' up 'til we get stinky

팔랑귀 팔랑귀 (That's red, red)

눈치나 살피기 (That's red, red)

도가니 사리기 (That's red, red)

You should come mess with the team
