Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

(All the underdogs in the world
A day may come when we lose
But it is not today
Today we fight)

No, not today
언젠가 꽃은 지겠지
But no, not today
그때가 오늘은 아니지
No, no, not today
아직은 죽기에는 too good day (good day)
No, no, not today
No, no, no, not today (ha)

그래, 우리는 extra
Huh, but still part of this world (part of this world)
Extra plus ordinary
Huh 그것도 별 거 아녀 (그것도 별 거 아녀)
오늘은 절대 죽지 말아
빛은 어둠을 뚫고 나가
새 세상 너도 원해
Baby, yes, I want it, wow

날아갈 수 없음 뛰어
Today we will survive
뛰어갈 수 없음 걸어
Today we will survive
걸어갈 수 없음 기어
기어서라도 gear up (gear up)
겨눠, 총, 조준, 발사

Not, not today
Not, not today
(Hey) 뱁새들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 친구들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 나를 믿는다면 hands up
총, 조준, 발사

죽지 않아, 묻지 마라
소리 질러 not, not today
꿇지 마라, 울지 않아
손을 들어 not, not today
(Hey) not, not today
(Hey) not, not today
(Hey) not, not today
총, 조준, 발사

Too hot 성공을 doublin'
Too hot 차트를 덤블링
Too high, we on 트램펄린
Too high 누가 좀 멈추길

우린 할 수가 없었단다 실패 ayy
서로가 서롤 전부 믿었기에 ayy
What you say, yeah (say, yeah)
Not today, yeah (day, yeah)
오늘은 안 죽어 절대 yeah

너의 곁에 나를 믿어
Together we won't die
나의 곁에 너를 믿어
Together we won't die
함께라는 말을 믿어
방탄이란 걸 믿어 (믿어)
겨눠, 총, 조준, 발사

Not, not today
Not, not today
(Hey) 뱁새들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 친구들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 나를 믿는다면 hands up

죽지 않아, 묻지 마라
소리 질러 not, not today
꿇지 마라, 울지 않아
손을 들어 not, not today

(Hey) not, not today
총, 조준, 발사

Throw it up, throw it up
니 눈 속의 두려움 따위는 버려
Break it up, break it up
널 가두는 유리천장 따윈 부숴
Turn it up (turn it up)
Burn it up (burn it up)
승리의 그날까지 (fight)
무릎 꿇지 마, 무너지지 마
That's not today, oh-oh

Not, not today
Not, not today
(Hey) 뱁새들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 친구들아 다 hands up
(Hey) 나를 믿는다면 hands up
총, 조준, 발사

죽지 않아, 묻지 마라
소리 질러 not, not today
꿇지 마라, 울지 않아
손을 들어 not, not today
