Verse 1

"Ugh, you came at a bad time
But you just crossed the line
You wanna get wild? Okay, I'll show you wild

Better come right, better luck tryin', gettin' to our level
'Cause you might die, never the time, tryna start a battle (hey)
Bleedin' isn't in my blood, 뼈속부터 달라서
Beatin' you is what I do, do, do, yeah"

Chorus

"Body on body, I'm naughty, not even sorry
And when you pull up, I'll pull up, a little late to the party
Na-na-na-na, locked and loaded, I was born for this
There ain't no point in avoidin' it
Annoyed? A bit 불을 비춰 다 비켜, 네 앞길을 뺏겨

Knockin' you out like a lullaby
Hear that sound ringin' in your mind
Better sit down for the show
'Cause I'm gonna show you how it's done, done, done"

"Yeah, somethin' about when you come for the crown, that's so humblin', huh?
갑자기 왜 그래? 먼저 건드려, 왜? 이제야 포기해, what?
Nothin' to us, run up, you're done up, we come up from sunup to sundown, so come out to play

Won either way, we're one in a million, we kill 'em, like really you want it? Okay"

Fit check for my napalm era
Need to beat my face, make it cute and savage

Hear that sound ringin' in your mind
Better sit down for the show
