[English]

You know who it is

Coming 'round again

You want a dose of this

Right now

It’s K/DA uh!

I'm a goddess with a blade

소리쳐봐 내 이름

잊지 못하게

Loud loud loud loud

I could take it to the top

절대 멈추지 못해

내가 끝내주는

Bad gal gal gal

And when I start to talk like that (like that)

Oh you won’t know how to react

I’m a picture perfect face

With that wild in my veins

You can hear it in my

Growl, growl, growl, growl

So keep your eyes on me now

무엇을 보든 좋아할 거야

닿을 수 없는 level

나와 대결 원한 널 확신해

We got it all in our hands now

So can you handle what we’re all about

We’re so tough

Not scared to show you up

Can you feel the rush now?

Ain’t nobody bringing us down

down down down down down

They could try but we’re gonna wear the crown

You could go another round

round round round round round round

Wish you luck but you’re not bringing us down

We go hard

Till we get it get it

We go hard

We so in it in it

We POP/STARS

Only winning winning now

Ain’t nobody bringing us

down down down down

Hey!

You ready for this? (Let's go!)

See 언제든지 내 모습 magic

단 한 번에 내가 잡어

절대 기죽지 않지 uh!

Pow pow 네가 뭘 알아

견딜 수 없어, 원해도

원하는 게 얼굴에 보여

I’m trouble and you’re wanting it

I’m so cold

When I move that way

You gonna be so blown

I’m the realest in the game uh!

Say I’m on fire with a blade

You’re about to hear my name

Ringing in your head like oh

So keep your eyes on me now

무엇을 보든 좋아할 거야

We’re so tough

Not scared to show you up

Only winning winning now

Ain’t nobody bringing us

Oh... 난 멈추지 않아

Oh oh we go hard

Oh oh we POP/STARS (stars), stars (stars)

Ain’t nobody bringing us

Ain’t nobody bringing us
