강자에게 더 세게, I love gamble

gang-ja-e-ge deo se-ge, I love gamble

과감할수록 신세계 on my table

gwa-gam-hal-su-rok sin-se-gye on my table

I'm sorry, 세상이 원래 불공평해

I'm sorry, se-sang-i won-rae bul-gong-pyeong-hae

So 더럽게 재미있지

So deo-reop-ge jae-mi-iss-ji

Now I move, I move, I move, I move, I move

Go ahead

I don't look, no look, no look, no look, no look

What's in my hand? (I said, "Go")
