Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation
They don't know about us
How your voice
Can calm the sea-ee-ee
They know
I can show you love, I can show you
If you wanna know me, what can I do for you?
대체 뭐가 달랐냐고 자꾸 물어
나는 대답해, 나도 몰라
Everybody hears the story that they wanna
쟤넨 이거 땜에 떴어, 내가 맞어
We just big boys, a.k.a. 촌놈
그냥 뭐 기세지, just shut up, shut up, oh
Hold up, chill, and take a bubble bath, bae (Ayy)
Do the math and go, just say what you say (Just say)
Oh, it's hard and that we cannot explain (Ayy)
Every time we tryna, tryna explain, we find
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh-oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh, oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh-oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us

Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don't know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right (They don't know)
I can show you love, I can show you
If you wanna know me, what can I do for you? (They don't)
대체 뭐가 달랐냐고 자꾸 물어
나는 대답해, 나도 몰라
항상 쉬운 길만 찾기 바빠 괜시리 (Ayy)
오지랖들은 태평양쯤 뺀질이 (Uh)
알기 쉽게 설명해 줄까, baby?
몰라도 돼 뭘 또 굳이 알려 하니? Ah (Ayy; Woo)
"걔넨 특별해 (해) Asian 중에," ayy
"영웅스러운 존재 (재), too hard to break," uh
Uh, we can't relate (Late)
그냥 사람 일곱인데
Ah, you said we changed? (Changed)
We feel the same, shit
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh-oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh, oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us (Oh-oh)
They don't know 'bout us, they don't know 'bout us
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right

Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right
(They don't know about us, they don't know about us; They don't know)
Yeah, damn, ooh, damn right, ooh, damn right
