[English]

Yeah

Yup

Yeah

Uh, XG born with the X-gene, beta testing, woo

New chapter, go hard effortlessly, boom

Alpha to omega level, set it off

There ain't no limit or gimmicks, we go beyond and keep it a hundred

Love it or hate it

Whether you alienate it, planet invaded

All day and every day we slayin' it

Gladiator mind, they not entertained yet

Mutated DNA, whoa

Fresh out the Xtraordinary womb

Intergallactical tactical flow

Goin' ballistic and outta this world

Cosmic stunt (stunt)

Fear who? None (uh-uh)

Pack of seven (grrr)

Equal one (one)

They wanna know if it's a hit or a miss

Shoot for the stars and we land on they heads

Don't mess with the technique, you know it's flawless

We locked and loaded on all our targets

XG, yeah, we born with the X-gene, new chapter, next scene

Go hard effortlessly, come test me, mm

XG, yeah, we born with the X-gene, new chapter, next scene

Go hard effortlessly, don't test me

Reach for the stars when you follow the light

Take me to the other side

Levitate up to the sky

(Synchronizing)

Howling the start

From where we are

Endlessly shine in the dark

Shine in the dark

...
