Hangul

You know who it is
Coming 'round again
You want a dose of this
Right now
It’s K/DA uh!

I'm a goddess with a blade

소리쳐봐 내 이름

잊지 못하게

Loud loud loud loud

I could take it to the top

절대 멈추지 못해

내가 끝내주는

Bad gal gal gal

And when I start to talk like that (like that)
Oh you won’t know how to react
I’m a picture perfect face
With that wild in my veins
You can hear it in my
Growl, growl, growl, growl

So keep your eyes on me now

무엇을 보든 좋아할 거야

닿을 수 없는 level

나와 대결 원한 널 확신해

We got it all in our hands now

So can you handle what we’re all about

We’re so tough

Not scared to show you up

Can you feel the rush now?

Ain’t nobody bringing us down down down down down down
They could try but we’re gonna wear the crown
You could go another round round round round round round round
Wish you luck but you’re not bringing us down
We go hard
Till we get it get it
We go hard
We so in it in it
We POP/STARS
Only winning winning now
