Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Verse 1

Careful, 'cause I bite (bite, bite, bite, bite)

(Bite, bite, bite, bite)

Hold me back, I'm 'bout to break the cage

You talk a lot 'til you see my face

I'm coming through, you better give me space

I say, 피할 바에, 그냥 crash

I say, pi-hal ba-e, geu-nyang crash

Ain't gon' waste all my time playing nice

자비는 not mine

ja-bi-neun not mine

Chorus

낯선 모습을 꺼내

nat-seon mo-seup-eul kkeo-nae

I said I might bite you back

가는 걸음마다 I've been carving my moves

ga-neun geol-eum-ma-da I've been carving my moves

뭐라 떠들어도, I don't care about you, my way, 날 완성한 pain

mwo-ra tteo-deul-eo-do, I don't care about you, my way, nal wan-seong-han pain

선을 넘기 전까지만 play it cool

seon-eul neom-gi jeon-kka-ji-man play it cool

You don't know where I'm from, but you're under my rules

So better keep off, so better stay off my bad side

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), 널 가뿐히 삼켜버릴, one bite (ah)

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), neol ga-ppun-hi sam-kyeo-beo-ril, one bite (ah)

Verse 3

Don't mess with me, 더 깊숙이, I bite

Don't mess with me, deo gip-suk-i, I bite

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, 본능대로 fight (ah)

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, bon-neung-dae-ro fight (ah)

Iced out veneers, built my career

Like, hold up, 순식간에 바뀌어버린 온도

Like, hold up, sun-sik-gan-e ba-kkwi-eo-beo-rin on-do

말을 바꿔 대, what you do? What you wanna?

mal-eul ba-kkwo dae, what you do? What you wanna?

Ay, I'm here to slay, here to conquer

Eat 'em up like candy, now they call me, "Willy Wonka"

When I'm in my zone, feeling like a baller

Verse 4

날 더 건드려봐, then I'll make you feel the karma

nal deo geon-deu-ryeo-bwa, then I'll make you feel the karma

지금까진 I let it through

ji-geum-kka-jin I let it through

I'm going easy on you

지나온 길마다 I've been paying my dues

ji-na-on gil-ma-da I've been paying my dues

뭐라 떠들어도, I don't care about you, my way, 또 넘어선 phase

mwo-ra tteo-deul-eo-do, I don't care about you, my way, tto neom-eo-seon phase

Better get low, 선을 넘은 shade

Better get low, seon-eul neom-eun shade

Like a fool, dare me, I'm done with it

So better keep off, better stay off my bad side

Verse 5

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), 널 가뿐히 삼켜버릴, one bite (ah, yeah)

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), neol ga-ppun-hi sam-kyeo-beo-ril, one bite (ah, yeah)

Don't mess with me, 더 깊숙이, I bite

Don't mess with me, deo gip-suk-i, I bite

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, 본능대로 fight (ah)

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, bon-neung-dae-ro fight (ah)

Iced out veneers, built my career on bite

Saved my heart from a lesson, built my own protection (protection)

Doing this for me, 나를 택했지

Doing this for me, na-reul taek-haess-ji

깊이 잠들었던 instinct, don't wake that side of me (ooh)

gip-i jam-deul-eoss-deon instinct, don't wake that side of me (ooh)

Run or it'll get ugly, ooh, yeah

Verse 6

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), 널 가뿐히 삼켜버릴, one bite (ah)

Careful, 'cause I bite (ah), neol ga-ppun-hi sam-kyeo-beo-ril, one bite (ah)

Don't mess with me, 더 깊숙이, I bite

Don't mess with me, deo gip-suk-i, I bite

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, 본능대로 fight (ah)

Say I'm so mean, you bet you're right, look at me, bon-neung-dae-ro fight (ah)

Please, just get out my way (bite, bite, bite, bite)

You better know your place (bite, bite, bite, bite)

Please, just get out my way (bite, bite, bite, bite)

You better know your place (bite, bite, bite, bite, bite)

Please, just get out my way (bite, bite, bite, bite)
