Lyrics:

[한국어]

[English]

여긴 Seoul 특별시

Here in Seoul, the special city

수많은 기적을 일으켰지

We've caused countless miracles

가려진 별들 사이 떠오르는 특별

Among hidden stars, a special one rises

별난 것투성이 변함없지

Full of oddities, unchanging

번화하는 거리

A bustling street

거리거리마다 걸리적거리는 거

Every street has its hassle

Clean it up clean it up, get back

Clean it up, clean it up, get back

겉만 번지르르 텅텅 빈 깡통

Just a shiny shell, empty tin can

Kick it kick it kick it

Kick it, kick it, kick it

Swerving, I’m speeding on Serpent Road

Swerving, I'm speeding down Serpent Road

Luxurious like I’m an S-Class

Luxurious, like I’m an S-Class

Best of the best on First Class

The best of the best in First Class

I’m up above the world so high

Way above the world, shining so bright

I’ll be there shining day and night

There I am, shining day and night

They wonder how my spotlight is so bright

They wonder how my spotlight shines so bright

Counting stars

Counting stars

특별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별난 놈 That’s me

A star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a strange guy—that’s me

별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의별 일이 my work

Among stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars—my work

(Bling Bling)

(Bling Bling)

Everyday

Every day

빛깔 뻔쩍 빛깔 뻔쩍

Shiny, shiny, shiny

빛깔 뻔쩍해 class는 특

Shining bright—class is special

빛깔 뻔쩍 빛깔 뻔쩍

Shiny, shiny, shiny

빛이 번져 더욱 빛나는 star

A star that spreads its light, shining even brighter

힙합 스텝 큼지막이 밟지 특출난 게 특기

Hip-hop steps, big and bold, my specialty

내 집처럼 드나들지 특집

Like entering my home, a special zone

작업실은 안 부러워 특실

My studio’s not jealous, it’s the best seat

득실득실거려 독보적인 특징

Rushing with excitement, unique traits

두리번두리번 어중떠중 띄엄띄엄 보는 애들이

Looking around, seeing some random folks

뻔쩍뻔쩍 빛나는 것들만 보면 달려 버릇이 no no

Only chasing dazzling things, can’t help but run

빛나는 걸 쫓기보단 빛나는 쪽이

Rather than chasing the shine, the shining side

되는 게 훨씬 폼 잡기 편해 Shine like a diamond k?

Is way more stylish—shine like a diamond, okay?

Swerving, I’m speeding on Serpent Road

Swerving, I'm speeding down Serpent Road

Luxurious like I’m an S-Class

Luxurious, like I’m an S-Class

Best of the best on First Class

The best of the best in First Class

I’m up above the world so high

Way above the world, shining so bright

I’ll be there shining day and night

There I am, shining day and night

They wonder how my spotlight is so bright

They wonder how my spotlight shines so bright

Counting stars

Counting stars

특별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별난 놈 That’s me

A star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a strange guy—that’s me

별의 별의 별의 별의 별의 별의별 일이 my work

Among stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars—my work

Stage 위 그 자체로 이건 특별 무대

On stage, just being there, this is a special performance

관중들은 따로 필요 없지 축제

절제 따위 필요 없이 고삐 풀 때

No need for restraint, when the reins are loose

Limited Edition 특이한 건 특별해져

Limited edition, what’s unique becomes special

불투명함은 분명하게 바꿔 거듭 되새겨

Make opacity clear, keep repeating and remind ourselves

눈에 띄는 텐션 몰입하는 객석

Eyes catching tension, the audience immersed

우리 빛이 하나가 돼 여기 모든 곳을 밝혀

Our light becomes one, illuminating everywhere here
