[English]

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Soaring through the race, I'm like a spaceship

Sweet and lovely, everyone knows it's in my genes

Shining bright, anyone who sees me falls in love

You know what to do, come close when, when, when

This beauty was a gift from my mom

And there's no need to doubt my talent

When chasing after me, don't even try to match my speed

I'mma let you know

I'm racing along with this beauty

When I reach the finish line, I won't be alone

Rev up the engine, I'm running

Go ahead and be jealous, I can take it

You know it is, what it is

Girls gonna run the business

No need to make a scene, I'm top-tier in every way

You girls are flawless, but it might be better to just head home

Capturing the world's gaze as it surrounds us

Shining bright amidst desires to take us higher

hah woo ah

ha ah ah

ah hah ah

Gliding past all the gossip and doubt

Stepping further than I ever expected

If you want to stand at the top, all you have to do is

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run)

You better better, better better

Characters behind me intertwine, combining years and two

I love music and beauty, so my lifestyle is always chill

In this space, voices echo from above

Making music under the starlight, everybody say wow

With this flow, the show has just begun

Building a bridge, slowly reaching for it

Immersed in watching the colors

It feels like a dream, my soul lost in the wind

Hey, my dear Chau!

Yes, I'm here!

RIO and I just got married, we're in Hai Phong now

Whoa, that's awesome!

How about I help you out with this part?

Yeah okay, let's go

Heh

Prada new season, breakfast is usually in Milan

And Chau is the name, know my name, made in Vietnam

Run the show, my sisters behind me are beautiful and cool

If I'm not competing, I'm not playing, but if I do, I'm aiming for first place

I'm pretty, confident, realistic, and independent

No one believed I could make it far, so let's see

Say "Sawatdee" then "La gon" just like I'm from Bangkok

Like a race, vroom vroom, hit the gas and accelerate

Capturing the world's gaze as it surrounds us

Shining bright amidst desires to take us higher

hah ah ah

ha ah hah

ah hah ah

Gliding past all the gossip and doubt

Stepping further than I ever expected

If you want to stand at the top, all you have to do is

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

You must know who we truly are

A few turns might lead us down the wrong path

No matter how hard the road, we can turn it around

So better, better, better, better

Better, better, better, better run

Run

Better, better run

You better, better run

Better better, better

Better, better run and drip

Better, better run

You better, better run (better better)

Better better, better better

Better better, better better run

[Vietnamese]

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Run

You better, better run

You better, better run

You better better, better better

Vút bay trong cuộc đua, em là phi thuyền

Ngoan xinh yêu, ai cũng biết rằng đó là di truyền

Sáng lên, ai nhìn em là say nắng

You know what to do, mau nép vô khi mà khi mà khi mà

Sắc đẹp này má cho

Tài năng thì có gì phải đắn đo

Đuổi theo thì tốc độ đừng có so

I'mma let you know

Chị racing cùng em xinh

Chị đến đích, chị không đi một mình

Tăng tốc lên ga chị chạy

Ganh ghét đi ha, chị chịu

You know it is, what it is

Girls gonna run the business

Chẳng cần ồn ào như thế, chị xịn ở mọi tư thế

Các em miễn chê, tốt hơn có khi rút quân đi về

Chiếm lấy ánh mắt của thế gian vây quanh ta

Bừng sáng giữa những khát khao cho ta thêm thăng hoa

hah woo ah

ha ah ah

ah hah ah

Lướt qua bao dèm pha nghi ngờ

Bước xa hơn bản thân mong chờ

Muốn được đứng trên cao thì việc cần làm là

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run)

You better better, better better

Những kí tự sau lưng đan xen gộp từ số năm và hai

Chị thích âm nhạc và làm đẹp nên lối sống luôn thoải mái

Trong không gian vang vọng giọng hát ở trên cao

Làm nhạc ở giữa trời đêm sao, everybody say wow

Chắc flow ngắt câu, show diễn mới bắt đầu

Bắc cầu, từ từ rồi chạm vào nó

Đắm chìm ngắm nhìn sắc màu

Ta ngỡ như đang mơ tâm ta lạc vào gió

Chị Châu yêu của bé ơi

Ơi, chị đây

Em với cả RIO vừa mới cưới nhau, bọn em đang ở Hải Phòng rồi

Uầy, được quá nhờ

Có gì đoạn này chị giúp đỡ em cái nhá

Ờ ok, vào đây

Hẹ

Prada new season, bữa sáng thường Oh Milan

Và Châu là tên, know my name, được made in Vietnam

Run the show, chị em đằng sau đã xinh lại còn chất

Không thi thì thôi, chơi thì chơi, em nhắm vào ngay giải nhất

Em xinh, tự tin, không mộng mơ và independant

Không ai tin em có thể make it far để rồi xem nào

"สวัสดี" xong "ลาก่อน" như em đến từ Bangkok

Như cuộc đua, brum brum, lên ga và tăng tốc

Chiếm lấy ánh mắt của thế gian vây quanh ta

Bừng sáng giữa những khát khao cho ta thêm thăng hoa

hah ah ah

ha ah hah

ah hah ah

Lướt qua bao dèm pha nghi ngờ

Bước xa hơn bản thân mong chờ

Muốn được đứng trên cao thì việc cần làm là

Baby, are you ready? Better

Run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better, better run (run, run, run)

You better better, better better

Better, better run and drip

Phải biết rằng chúng ta đang là ai

Vài ngã rẽ khiến chúng ta đi đường sai

Dù đường khó mấy thì ta quay đầu lại

Vậy thì better, better, better, better

Better, better, better, better run

Run

Better, better run

You better, better run

Better better, better

Better, better run and drip

Better, better run

You better, better run (better better)

Better better, better better

Better better, better better run
