[Lizzy] Rip off
The song "Rip off" by After School starts with Lizzy's opening verse, urging someone to hurry up. Nana's verse suggests that if one has a target in mind and they know what they want, it's easy to get it. Jungah's verse suggests that she's been stealing as a "kaitou Queen Bee," and now she wants to get down to business with the listener.
The chorus, sung by Raina, emphasizes the urgency of "Rip off," a term used to describe taking something by force. She sings about the "saikou no Love pop," which loosely translates to the greatest love pop, and entering a dream world during this time. Kahi's verse is about making the most of one moment and enjoying it. Nana's verse is a countdown to start something, and the whole group is ready to put their hands up to show that they mean business.
The verses are repetitive, with Lizzy and E-Young's verse about 'itadaku' or consuming something important, heard twice. The song gradually builds up towards its climax, as the group repeats the chorus, with even more energy than before, leading to a dramatic finish.

Countdown's starting, baby boy, put your hands up.

Oh, oh (ah ah).
Hurry up Rip off
We need to hurry and rip it off.

I still love AFTER SCHOOL even if they keep on changing members.. and TRUE PLAYGIRLZ will never leave AS..

I'm new to After School and I've been seeing how Kahi's graduation is affecting everybody. The leader of a group is always irreplaceable. Being a VIP, I couldn't imagine BIGBANG without GD. These girls are doing amazing though :)

Glad they did a dance to this one too, love this "Rip Up" and Nana's "Die I Iya I just wanna love you" off their new album. Much better than Flashback. After School 5ting!
