[English]

OK, up all night

Seoul city never dies

Red eyes, pupils shaking

Ain’t nobody hold us down

We don’t sleep, we go fast

The night wraps around us

Teeny weeny 5 girls poppin’

The vibe is Lit and Wet

We don’t go to bed tonight

DANCE!

I wanna dance, I gotta dance

We don’t go to bed tonight

DANCE!

I wanna dance, I gotta dance

I’m gonna go bad tonight

We rise higher

It doesn’t matter, just jump

We are the perfect fear

We don’t go to bed tonight

Move your hips away

Mama, I am a sinner

I don’t wanna go home

We don’t go to bed tonight

My life is such a mess

Not everyone passes, my boy’s by my side

You’re no pay

It’s okay, I can’t do it halfway

It’s about to rise, the sun’s coming up

Good girl, no thanks

I want more hype

I’m naturally the type to draw attention

My playlist is only hyper

Even if there’s nothing better, the difference is clear

Blow up the house, then peace sign

My pay’s going up, a bit tired though

I’m crazy (Positive)

Look, until the morning sun

Already caught up in another party

Phone kept ringing

I’m so kissy

Can I sip it?

YPS all night

And we sleep all day

OK, up all night

Seoul city never dies

Red eyes, pupils shaking

Ain’t nobody hold us down

We don’t sleep, we go fast

The night wraps around us

Teeny weeny 5 girls poppin’

The vibe is Lit and Wet

We don’t go to bed tonight

DANCE!

I wanna dance, I gotta dance

We don’t go to bed tonight

DANCE!

I wanna dance, I gotta dance

I’m gonna go bad tonight

Raise your hands up

I don’t know, just jump

We are the perfect fear

Go go go go bad tonight

We rise, we roar

Mama, I am a sinner

I hate all the adults

We don’t go to bed tonight

It’s time to get drastic

We stack up bottles all day, create the city

Thanks to the heavy bass kick

Finna go mad, fr, aged like crazy

I’mma SHINE, no switchin’

Talk talk transmission

Keep buzzin’, keep buzzin’ 24/7, all energy drained

This is my life, hustler

A stylish one appears in Itaewon

Break the frame, no lungs, every day

All night we go on, NO rest, NO sleep

Mm, still turnt up, we up

Flash flash, phone keeps on

Slide till dawn, YOUNG POSSE does it again

Stayin’ up all night and sleep all day

’Cuz city city never ever forever and ever

I need more!

We don’t go to bed

We don’t go to bed tonight

DANCE!

Not all pass My boy 내 옆에

넌 No pay

It's okay 적당히 못해

뜨잖아 곧 해

Good girl, No thanks

원해 더 많은 hype

원래 나는 좀 관심을 끄는 type

내가 담은 playlist엔 only hyper

더 나은 건 없어도 확실한 차이

집을 터트려 그 다음 peace sign

올라가 내 Pay, 조금 피곤하지만 Though

난 미쳤어 (Positive)

Key Grammar Structures

• Seoul city never dies

  ➔ Simple present (general truth)

  ➔ The verb "dies" is in the simple present to state a permanent condition: "Seoul city never "dies"."

• ain't nobody hold us down

  ➔ Double negative with colloquial "ain't" + "nobody"

  ➔ Both "ain't" (negative) and "nobody" (negative) are used together, creating a double negative that actually means "no one can hold us down."

• we don't go to bed tonight

  ➔ Negative present simple with future reference

  ➔ "don't" is the negative auxiliary for the present simple; the sentence expresses a plan for the near future: "we "don't" go to bed tonight."

• i wanna dance i gotta dance

  ➔ Informal contractions: "wanna" = want to, "gotta" = got to (must)

  ➔ "wanna" is a spoken contraction of "want to" and "gotta" of "got to" (meaning "must"). Both are used before another verb: "I "wanna" dance" / "I "gotta" dance."

• imma go go bad tonight

  ➔ Slang future construction "imma" = I am going to

  ➔ "imma" is a spoken blend of "I am" + "gonna" (going to). It signals a definite intention: "I "imma" go bad tonight."

• My life is so mess

  ➔ Zero article with a singular count noun (colloquial omission)

  ➔ In standard English we would say "my life is so a mess" or "my life is such a mess." The article "a" is omitted here for stylistic effect.

• We stack up bottle all day

  ➔ Phrasal verb "stack up" + count noun (article omission)

  ➔ "stack up" means to accumulate. In spoken slang the article before "bottle" is dropped: "We "stack up" **bottle** all day."

• keep buzzin’ keep buzzin’ 247

  ➔ Imperative with gerund‑participle after "keep"

  ➔ "keep" is followed by the –ing form to mean "continue to"; the repetition adds emphasis: "keep "buzzin’" (keep "buzzin'") 24/7."

• night we go on NO rest NO sleep

  ➔ Parallel noun phrases without articles for emphatic style

  ➔ The repetition of "NO" before "rest" and "sleep" creates a stark, rhythmic contrast: "night we go on **NO** rest **NO** sleep." No article is needed because the nouns are used in a generic, emphatic way.

• cuz city city never ever forever and ever

  ➔ Informal conjunction "cuz" = because; repetition for emphasis

  ➔ "cuz" is a slang contraction of "because". The phrase repeats "city" and the adverbs "never ever forever and ever" to stress the endless nature of the city: "cuz **city** **city** never ever **forever** and ever."
