Lyrics, Romanization & English Translation

Verse 1

Uh, rain falling on my face and washing off that sweat off

Making me cleaner than the dirt on my high top

I suffer from the words you throw at me, but makes me tougher

Energetic youngster like me loves playing in muddy water

Looking back at what you said behind my back

Doesn't matter 'cause I'm a winner, strong believer

24/7 with the members scoring goals like a team player

I execute the shadows all around me, call me demon slayer
