[English]

Badminton, it don't stop 'til the casket drop

In Paris, 2024, the games on lock

Back and forth, the match is nonstop

Give me that, no, I need that, aiming for the top

Nope, over here, no, over there

What about over there? Nope, we don't care

Give me that, I need that, keep it in the zone

Olympic dreams, man, we bringin' it home

They rockin' and rollin'

Shuttle in the air

Give me that, no, I need that

Move. Back up

Over here, no, over there

What about over here?

Nope, way up in the sky

This badminton rally won't die

What about over there? Nope, no retreat

Give me that, I need that, bringin' the heat

That too, nope, sit down somewhere

Wait a minute, way up in the air

Now down, back up, over there

Now over here, the shuttle's everywhere

Get out the way, move, I told you

We need that, Paris dreams comin' true

They rockin' and rollin'

Shuttle in the air

Give me that, no, I need that

Move. Back up

Over here, no, over there

What about over here?

Nope, way up in the sky

This badminton rally won't die

Way up in the sky, now back down low

Olympic spirit, man, let the game flow

Over here, now over there, a fierce race

Paris in the summer, we settin' the pace

Badminton battles, from dusk till dawn

In the LBC, yeah, we're carryin' on

Got the chronic, with an Olympic vibe

Bringin' home gold, yeah, we on that ride

They rockin' and rollin'

Shuttle in the air

Give me that, no, I need that

Move. Back up

Over here, no, over there

What about over here?

Nope, way up in the sky

This badminton rally won't die

From Paris to the LBC, we in this game

Badminton legends, remember the name

Shuttle flying high, dreams in sight

Olympic gold, we winnin' tonight
