[English]

I spill something out on the piano

No kick no snare but the rhythm’s freaky

Everybody come with me, this ambiance shake it

We build a building from our basement unit

Aw we know this vibe

Aw brr brr the rule, just break it haw

Aw we can change up change it all up

La La La La La La La La La La La

Too many mouths what do we do for food I wondered

They don’t know They don’t know They don’t know

I don’t know how high we’ll rise

Everybody raise your hands up to the sky

At the party yo Cheers

At the party glass Cheers

At the party yo Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers

At the party I

I spill something out on the piano

No kick no snare but the rhythm’s freaky

Everybody come with me, this ambiance shake it

We build a building from our basement unit

Yeh Yeh 808 Bass out s**t

Yeh yeh the rhythm’s no problem I’m groovin’

Yeh yeh see the white supercar wheels 160 BPM speed

Started from two pyeong, flanked by twelve guys

Dash on the highway highpass zone here on out

Ay Ay Ay Ay no one can keep up

Ay Ay Ay Ay now they all follow us

They all said we’d crash and burn

They don’t know They don’t know They don’t know

I don’t know how high we’ll rise

Everybody raise your hands up to the sky

At the party yo Cheers

At the party glass Cheers

At the party yo Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers Cheers

At the party I

I spill something out on the piano

No kick no snare but the rhythm’s freaky

Everybody come with me, this ambiance shake it

We build a building from our basement unit

Everyone take our lead get your hands up Cheers uh

Everyone take our lead wherever you are

Everyone take our lead get your hands up Cheers uh

Everyone take our lead wherever you are

Do we like us?

I don’t give a buck bro

Increasing digits crashing waterfalls

Yah blurtin’ out with no filter adjust later

Dance like us my butt bam

I spill something out on the piano

No kick no snare but the rhythm’s freaky

Everybody come with me, this ambiance shake it

We build a building from our basement unit
