[English]

Bring that beat back

Crackers picked up with chopsticks

Freestyling solo in the Mega crew

Boldly reveal it, I don’t act right

A punchline that slams into your mind

I don’t need a frame, I brand myself

Facing the preset answer, I say less

Tick-i-tick-tock just focus and I

Following my heart, now go go

This and that, wait a minute

I don’t wanna fake it

I don’t force it, I drop it on them

There are all kinds of rules

I don’t follow anyone

Let me be me, I’m my own role model

We We

Gonna show you, do it

We We

Gonna show you how

We We

Gonna show you, do it

Bring that beat back

Mmchk Mmm, you know me?

Predictable manners, I get rowdy

That etiquette, I don’t like it

Like Mmchk Mmchk Mmm

Not typical

Mmchk Mmm, just feel it

Predictable manners, that’s not me

No matter what, keep vibin’

Like Mmchk Mmchk Mmm

Not typical

Keep on watchin’

Gonna break it

And we like it

Like Mmchk Mmchk

Not typical

Timing, place, occasion, Mmchk it, Mmchk it

A stray kick drum

My relaxed stride, Mmm

Feel so freaky

Follow the pull, run and tweak it

More than an algorithm

Seek real fun

That’s even fancier (That’s it)

This is us

We We

Gonna show you, do it
