[English]

All my girls

Come on, yeah

My jaw hurts, skip the talk, show them with guts instead (with the guts)

Crop out everything useless (everything crop)

I'll just do it my way, gotta hunt (hunt)

Gotta hunt, yeah

Facing a skid zone, I don't want to avoid it, I'd rather speed up

Wanna slide, going far, even higher (higher)

Ready for my life (for my life)

I don't need weakness, don't need it

Break through the trauma (no cap)

Take it or leave it (like that)

If you want it, get it (on track)

All set

Lip gloss make 'em fuss 'cause I'ma make it work

Cut all your doubt 'cause I'ma make it work

Better work, work, work, work, work, work, work

Keep on, gotta run, I know I better work

I'ma make it work tha-a-at (work it), know I better work (work)

I'll just follow my attraction (work, work it), know I better work (work)

Yeah, I'm like anyone else, pushing things off and avoiding them often

So what, señorita? I'm living well my own way

You don't know me, it is real, even my tiny freckles are slick

I'll kick it when I do, when I do it, let 'em know it like this

One more step, two more steps, keep (keep)

I'll openly twist even old scars (twist)

Baby, even this is who I am

See, like that, push it back, push it back like this

Now, I'll keep continuing my race

The more I break and get hurt, the stronger I become like a jewel

Nada, I never fix

Make 'em move, make 'em prove, that's my style

Style

Lip gloss make 'em fuss 'cause I'ma make it work

Cut all your doubt 'cause I'ma make it work

Better work, work, work, work, work, work, work

Keep on, gotta run, I know I better work

I'ma make it work tha-a-at, know I better work (work)

I'll just follow my attraction (work, work it), know I better work (work)

I'ma make it work tha-a-at (work, work it), know I better work (work)

Even if I get hurt, it's worth i-i-it (work, work it), know I better work (work)

Yeah, I love all my flaws, crossing over that wall

Jump right over the limit line, jump even further

Well, I do what I do, even if I have it all, I want it more

I know that it's time for us

Li-i-i-ip gloss make 'em shock, I'ma-ma make it work-work

Trash ta-a-alk, hush it all, I'ma make it work

Better work, work, work, work, work, work, work (I'ma-ma make it work)

Step up, gotta run, I know I better work

I'ma make it work that

Know I better work that (work, work that)

I'll just follow my attraction, know I better work

...

입 아파 skip talk, 말 대신에 보여줘 with the guts (with the guts)

쓸데없는 건 전부 crop (전부 crop)

그냥 내 뜻대로 해, gotta hunt (hunt)

Gotta hunt, yeah

마주한 skid zone, 피하기는 싫어 차라리 난 speed up

Wanna slide, going far, 더 위로 (위로)

Ready for my life (for my life)

나약함 いらない いらない

깨뜨려 trauma (no cap)

Know I better work that (work, work that)

끌림대로 할게-에-에, know I better work

Key Grammar Structures

• 피하기는 싫어 차라리 난 speed up

  ➔ Noun-forming ending '-기'

  ➔ The '-기' suffix turns the verb '피하다' (to avoid) into a noun form, allowing it to act as the subject or object in the sentence.

• 나약함 いらない

  ➔ Noun-based expression

  ➔ Adding '-함' to the adjective '나약하다' (weak) creates the noun '나약함' (weakness), emphasizing the concept rather than the action.

• 원하면 get it

  ➔ Conditional particle '-면'

  ➔ The ending '-면' attached to '원하다' (to want) establishes a conditional 'if' clause.

• 끌림대로 할게

  ➔ Noun + particle '-대로'

  ➔ '-대로' functions as a particle meaning 'as' or 'according to', attached to '끌림' (attraction/feeling).

• 깨지고 다칠수록

  ➔ Progressive conditional '-ㄹ수록'

  ➔ '-ㄹ수록' indicates that as the degree of an action or state increases, another action or state also increases (the more... the more...).

• 이마저도 나인 걸

  ➔ Particle '-마저' + Exclamatory ending '-인 걸'

  ➔ '-마저' means 'even', while '-인 걸' expresses a realization or exclamation about a fact.

• 저 벽을 넘어서

  ➔ Action sequence '-어서'

  ➔ The '-어서' ending connects two actions chronologically: 'cross' the wall, and then 'jump'.

• 다 쥐어도

  ➔ Concessive clause '-아/어도'

  ➔ '-아/어도' signifies 'even if', used here to express that even if one holds everything ('다 쥐어도'), there is still a desire for more.
