Lyrics
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Let's go, like what?
Let's go, like what?
자유로운 기분, I like that
jayuloun gibun, I like that

고민 따윈 already done, done (done, done)
gomin ttawin already done, done (done, done)

색안경 끼고 보는 게 죄지
saeg-angyeong kkigo boneun ge joeji

That's not my fault, woah
That's not my fault, woah

Told ya I don't care at all
Told ya I don't care at all

내 멋대로 갈 거야 (oh-oh)
nae meosdaelo gal geoya (oh-oh)

필요 없어 order
pil-yo eobs-eo order

Don't need no guidance, I'm makin' my way
Don't need no guidance, I'm makin' my way
I'm on my way up (top-top)
I'm on my way up (top-top)

Run to the top (ah, woo)
Run to the top (ah, woo)

난 언제든 straight up (alright)
nan eonjedeun straight up (alright)

원래 두려운 게 없어 난
wonlae dulyeoun ge eobs-eo nan
상관없어, call me trouble
sang-gwan-eobs-eo, call me trouble

Or you can call me weirdo
Or you can call me weirdo

나로 살고 싶어
nalo salgo sip-eo

턱 끝을 치켜올린 채로
teog kkeut-eul chikyeoollin chaelo

다 가질 듯한 attitude 그거면 돼 (ah)

Get loose, 불태워 지금, my youth (지금, my youth, yeah)
