Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

We pop out, we actin' a fool again (Ooh)

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan (Ooh)

Why this bassline slappin' so rude?

Drop it lower than chopped and screwed (Screwed, screwed, screwed)

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

Man, I'm 'bout to blow a fuse (Yeah)

통제불능, 머리 춤 (Yeah)

뛰어 미친놈인 듯 (Uh)

Me everywhere, 얼쑤

Somebody move (Move), somebody move (Move)

다들 모여 하나 둘 (둘)

I can never ever choose (Yeah)

Every one o' you a muse

Crowd lookin' like a campus

Beat drop, 우린 dancin'

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

We pop out, we actin' a fool again

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

Why this bassline slappin' so rude?

Drop it lower than chopped and screwed (Screwed, screwed, screwed)

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

I go cuckoo crazy, loco, save me, woo

Like El Cucuy, 굳이 말 안 해도 알잖아, woo

Hooligan, like hooligan, 때려 부숴 like hooligan

시간 됐으니 좀 비켜 좀, all clear 이상 무

Take you out, take you out

What's the future? Where's the now?

Make it unforgettable

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan

We pop out, we actin' a fool again (Ooh)

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan (Ooh)

Yeah, we the mess, gonna get a bigger mop here (Bigger mop)

You gon' hear this one playin' 'round the clock, yeah ('Round the clock)

'Round the clock, clock, clock, clock

Why this bassline slappin' so rude?

Drop it lower than chopped and screwed (Screwed, screwed, screwed)

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, hooligan

Watch this, watch this beat goin' hooligan
