[English]

G, A.P.

Let me kill 'em like I usually do, man.

Check it, how do you do?

‘Tiki-Taka’ all over the place

Like I'm dancing with fire, sweat dripping down

Bathed in light, Beautiful (That's cool)

Just holding hands gently, clapping, cheeks touching

Eyes half-closed, G'azm rising up

Dang, is she really that good?!

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

Unsure, somewhere, hazy and unclear

Is it flirting? Or bluffing? You got me bad

Since my MBTI is Sexy Type, be my baby

GD be like that, N.G., M is my age, Zett

I don't think so.

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

You do something (to me)

The chills running (through me)

I feel something (pull me)

I'm still running (til' I reach)

You do something (to me)

The chills running (through me)

I feel something (pull me)

I'm still running (til' I reach)

Come do something to me

Come do something to me

Come do something to me

Too hot to touch, show me

Come do something to me

Come do something to me

Come do something to me

One, two, you too. Shall we?

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

Baby girl, too bad for me

There you go, toot that! As for me?

All I want is within arm's reach

Break me off, passionately

You do something (to me)

The chills running (through me)

I feel something (pull me)

I'm still running (til' I reach)

You do something (to me)

The chills running (through me)

I feel something (pull me)

I'm still running (til' I reach)

You do something

The chills running

I feel something

I'm still running (til' I reach)

You do something

The chills running

I feel something

I'm still running

Key Grammar Structures

• "Let me kill ’em like I usually do, Man."

  ➔ Imperative with 'let' + object + infinitive without 'to'

  ➔ This uses the 'let' construction to give permission or encourage an action. 'Let me kill ’em' implies 'Allow me to kill them.' The infinitive 'kill' follows the object 'me' without 'to'.

• "Baby Girl! Too bad for me"

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence with 'too + adjective + for + someone'

  ➔ Expresses disappointment or regret. "Too bad for me" means it is unfortunate or regrettable for the speaker.

• "All I want! Is in arms’ reach"

  ➔ Inverted sentence structure for emphasis (Object + Verb + Subject)

  ➔ Normally, the sentence would be 'All I want is within arms' reach.' By inverting the structure, the speaker emphasizes what they desire is very close and attainable.

• "U got me bad"

  ➔ Informal contraction and simplified sentence structure

  ➔ 'U' is a contraction of 'You', and the full sentence would be 'You've got me bad'. This is informal language, common in spoken English or song lyrics.

• "GD be like that N.G M이 나이 Zett"

  ➔ Informal 'be like' construction (quotative 'be like')

  ➔ 'Be like' is used informally to introduce a quote or an action that someone typically does or says. In this case, it implies 'GD is usually like that...' or 'GD would say something like...' The rest of the phrase appears to be Korean slang.
