[English]

Uh 손끝에 느껴지는 Whiplash

돌아봐 Turning back 남겨 놓은 Trace, umm

흔들리는 네 눈빛

그 속에 우릴 봐 꽤나 대담해 Umm

Uh uh 어젠 이미 Erased it

No no 고민하지 마 Face it

I don't care 'bout any digits

멈춘듯한 Minute, yeah

Uno más

Like 458

Yeah, got another gear

줘 계속, 더 배로

만족은 이르니

Way I move 예측 못해

선명해진 순간 자유로운 Paradigm yeah

망설임은 Pass 나를 자극해

그게 뭐 어때 Take that

혼자만의 Race

Love it, own ma lane

To the max

Limit 없는 Speed

오직 나만의

맘을 따르지

Five, six, seven, eight 깨뜨릴 때까지

휘청여도 돼

내겐 없는 Shame

Night and day I'm blazing

Five, six, seven, eight, 깨뜨릴 때까지

I got me in that mood

...

Got me in that mood, to the max

Got me in that mood, to the max

Got me in that mood

Got me in that mood, to the max

To, to the max

Light it up no doubt

거침없는 Move 눈빛은 Roar

꺼지지 않는 Headlight

타오르는 맘의 온도

낯선 감각을 느껴

긴장감은 적당해 Just drive

Electric feel vibes

Oh I'm on my way

망설임은 Pass 나를 자극해

그게 뭐 어때 Take that

화려해지는 Steppin'

That's my pace

To the max

Limit 없는 Speed

오직 나만의

맘을 따르지

Five, six, seven, eight 깨뜨릴 때까지

휘청여도 돼

내겐 없는 Shame

Night and day I'm blazing

To, to, to the max

Trap 따위는 받아들여

평범함은 Skip it

Focus on mine

내가 딛는 모든 곳이 출발선

가득 품은 Ambition

Who knew? That's my groove, groove

Like a vroom, vroom

가늠할 수 없는 나의 Heartbeat

To the max

Limit 없는 Speed

오직 나만의

맘을 따르지

Five, six, seven, eight 깨뜨릴 때까지

휘청여도 돼

내겐 없는 Shame

Night and day I'm blazing

Five, six, seven, eight, 깨뜨릴 때까지

I got me in that mood

Five, six, seven, eight, 깨뜨릴 때까지

I got me in that mood

To the max, to the max, to the max

깨뜨릴 때까지

...
