[English]

Ayo, listen up

No matter what they say

No matter what they do

We go resonate, resonate

(Resonate)

...

Hey, yo, hey, hey, hey

Me, you, we're trying to leave this place

Hurry up and hop on, our hearts are in the same place

Worry about such things next time

There's not enough time, so now we're on our way

Feel free, come join me

Show your dreams beyond the surface

It's starting, a story like a movie

I can do this all day, all day long

We got this, today again

This place is ours, 100%

Move on to the next level, higher mind

We're already in another dimension, another level, ya

Let's start, we gon' fly

We won't stop, it's alright

...

I'm about to raise the roof

Resonate, the moves inside (raising)

Spreading like the news

Awaken the one who was asleep

The strength grows bigger when we raise the roof

We're not in control, you with me here

So we just get bigger

The power keeps growing when we raise the roof

I'm gonna wake you up (they're sleeping)

I'm gonna wake you up (sleeping)

I'm on my way

We keep growing bigger when we raise the roof

I'm gonna wake you up (they're sleeping)

Let me shake the time (shake, shake)

We can take it higher

We keep growing bigger

Walking through the streets that once were empty, now just classic (blow that)

My pockets were loose (I show that)

Come on, take a picture, cheese (click)

All the friends in the film make a 'V' (you know that)

Let’s go mob, your movements right here, yeah

Fresh off, the new decades are heating up again

Spending the night looking at my friends, yeah

Maybe we're on the same parallel line

Listen to DJ drops (drop)

Feel the vibe (feel a way, feel a way, what)

This night is short, so

So let me see you do your thing (come on)

The meaning of a space we've never been to

Feeling each other’s presence, 90's love

As the power grows, come and find me

Come closer beyond the wilderness

Pull out, look out, try it out, fun’s here

Here, you and I, in our own style (that’s just us, put it down like that)

I'm about to raise the roof

Resonate, the moves inside (raising)

Spreading like the news

Awaken the one who was asleep

The strength grows bigger when we raise the roof

We're not in control, you with me here

So we just get bigger

The power keeps growing when we raise the roof

I'm gonna wake you up (they're sleeping)

I'm gonna wake you up (sleeping)

I'm on my way

We keep growing bigger when we raise the roof

I'm gonna wake you up (they're sleeping)

Let me shake the time (shake, shake)

We can take it higher

We keep growing bigger

(Drop the bass)

Hey, anywhere we can go, tell me the time we’re together

With me, with me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Even with your eyes closed, I can see you, and you do too, babe

Let’s get it done, done, done, hey

What you gon’ do? (What you gon’ do?)

Follow my route (follow my route)

Fill it with valuable things (skrrt, skrrt), fill it up (fill it up)

From now on, go against the flow, you know, just go (going)

Imagine it, create it, just do your thing (skrrt-skrrt)

Work it

...

Your energy, it links me up (links me up)

Feel this moment now (I'll do it for you)

I can take you anywhere

(Slowly heading towards you)

Don’t worry, just let go

...

I'm about to raise the roof

Resonate, the moves inside (raising)

Spreading like the news

Awaken the one who was asleep

The strength grows bigger when we raise the roof

We're not in control, you with me here

So we just get bigger

The power keeps growing when we raise the roof

(Raise) Put your hands in the sky when we raise it (resonate)

Put your hands in the sky when we raise the roof

Resonate, raise it, resonate, raise it

Resonate, raise it, resonate, raise it

Resonate, raise it, resonate, raise it

Raise the roof (raise)

...

[Korean]

Ayo, listen up

No matter what they say

No matter what they do

We go resonate, resonate

(Resonate)

Eh, yo, eh, eh, eh

Me, you 우린 여길 떠나려 해

빨리 올라타 마음은 같은 곳에

겨우 그런 고민은 다음번에나 해

시간이 부족하잖아 so now we on our way

자유롭게 come join me

수면 위로 꿈을 펼쳐 보이지

시작됐어 영화 같은 스토리

I can do this all day 하루 종일

We got this 오늘도 여긴

우리가 차지해 100%

넘어가 다음 단계, higher mental

우린 이미 다른 차원 다른 level ya

Let's start, we gon' fly

We won't stop, it's alright

I'm about to raise the roof

공명 그 안의 moves (raising)

퍼져가네 like the news

잠들었던 널 깨워

힘은 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

We're not in control 함께 있는 너

So we just get bigger

힘은 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

Imma wake you up (they're sleeping)

Imma wake you up (sleeping)

난 가고 있어

우린 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

Imma wake you up (they're sleeping)

Let me shaking time (shake, shake)

We can take it up

우린 더 커져 가

길을 쓸고 다닌 스트릿 이젠 그냥 클래식 (blow that)

주머니는 헐렁했지 (I show that)

자, 찍어, cheese (clack)

필름 속의 친구 다들 make "V" (you know that)

Let's go mob 너의 움직임이 그대로 여기로 yeah

Fresh off 다시 뜨거워진 new decades

내 친구 같은 'friends' 보며 밤 새

어쩌면 우린 같은 평행선 위에

들어 봐 DJ drops it (drop)

느낌 느낄 수밖에 (feel a way, feel a way, what)

이 밤은 짧기에

So let me see you do your thang (come on)

간 적 없는 공간의 의미

서로의 존재를 느껴 90's love

힘이 커져가면 come and find me

광야를 넘어 더욱 가까이 와

꺼내, 꺼내 봐, 꺼내 봐, 꺼내 봐 it's fun

여기 너와 나, 너와 나만의 스타일로 (그게 바로 우리야 put it down like that)

I'm about to raise the roof

공명 그 안의 moves (raising)

퍼져가네 like the news

잠들었던 널 깨워

힘은 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

We're not in control 함께 있는 너

So we just get bigger

힘은 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

Imma wake you up (they're sleeping)

Imma wake you up (sleeping)

난 가고 있어

우린 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

Imma wake you up (they're sleeping)

Let me shaking time (shake, shake)

We can take it up

우린 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

(Drop the bass)

Hey, 어디든 갈 수 있어 함께 있는 시간이 말해 줘

With me, with me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

눈 감아도 네가 보여 너도 그럴 거잖아, babe

Let's get it done, done, done, ay

What you gon' do? (What you gon' do?)

Follow my route (follow my route)

가치 있는 것들로 (skrrt, skrrt), 가득 채워 (가득 채워)

지금부턴 거슬러 you know 가는 거야 (가는 거야)

상상해 만들어 just do your thang (skrrt-skrrt)

Work it

너의 에너지 it links me up (links me up)

지금 이 기분을 느껴봐 (I'll do it for you)

널 어디로든 데려가 줄 수 있어

(조금씩 너에게로 가)

걱정 말고 let go

I'm about to raise the roof

공명 그 안의 moves (raising)

퍼져가네 like the news

잠들었던 널 깨워

힘은 더 커져 가 when we raise the roof

We're not in control 함께 있는 너

So we just get bigger

힘은 더 커져 가

(Raise) Put your hands in the sky when we raise it (resonate)
