손가락질 해 (yeah yeah yeah yeah), 나는 전혀 신경 쓰지 않네
They don't care if people criticize them and are unbothered by it

People may talk and chatter behind their backs

Talkin', talkin', talkin'
They won't let other people's words bring them down

I do what I do, 그니까 넌 너나 잘하셔
They do what they do and don't care what others think they should do

Dirty dirty

You can't stop me lovin' myself
They will always love themselves and won't let anyone stop them

Hoo, hoo 얼쑤 좋다 지화자 좋다 Oh oh ooh oh Oh oh ooh oh oh oh 덩기덕 쿵더러러 얼쑤
These lines are onomatopoeia representing Korean traditional percussion instruments

Face off 마치 오우삼, ay
They feel confident and ready to show off their talents

Top star with that spotlight, ay
With the spotlight on them, they feel like the biggest star

때론 Superhero가 돼

Wow 24시간이 적지
They feel like they don't have enough hours in the day

헷갈림, 내겐 사치
Being unsure about things is a luxury to them

Ho! I do my thang (I do my thang)
They're confident in what they do

I love myself
Yet again reminding us that they love themselves

Love my dance and my what
They love everything about themselves

내 속안엔 (내 속안엔) 몇 십 몇 백명의 내가 있어
There are many versions of themselves inside of them

오늘 또 다른 날 맞이해 (맞이해)
They're just taking on each day as it comes

어차피 전부 다 나이기에 (나이기에)
Everyone is going to age anyways

고민보다는 걍 달리네 (달리네) Runnin' man Runnin' man, bluh
They don't worry, they just run without hesitation

I'm so fine wherever I go
They feel good about themselves no matter where they are

가끔 멀리 돌아가도 (oh)
Even if they distance themselves sometimes, they're okay with that

It's okay, I'm in love with my, my myself
Again, they love themselves

It's okay, 난 이 순간 행복해
They're happy with their lives right now

Uh what's good, Korea You know I been a boss for my whole career
Nicki Minaj speaks up, feeling like a boss in Korea, who has been successful for the entirety of her career

I'm 'bout to jet in the Lear
She's about to fly away quickly in luxury

And put more than my hands in the air Hands in the air, put your hands in the air
She's not just going to put her hands in the air, but her energy and passion

If you getting money, rubber bands in the air
If you have money, wave your rubber bands in the air

Never gave an eff, they can cancel my care
She doesn't care about others' opinions

'Cause if he look good, throw my pants in the air
She likes someone, she throws her pants in the air

I'm here, word to John Mayer
She's present and acknowledges John Mayer

Body's a Wonderland, my face is top tier
She's confident in her looks and feels like a model

I swear, watch the ice glare
She swears that her diamonds shine so bright, they're like ice

They be like, I'm Gucci, but don't shop there
Other people can pretend to be "Gucci", but she knows that they aren't really

One time, press rewind
Her music is so good that you would want to listen to it again

Tryna come up off Nicki name, press decline
People who try to use her name in a negative way get rejected by her

So much power in the mind, yes divine
She believes that the mind has a lot of power

Take your change, you'll never be next in line (hoo)
She's telling people to take charge and forge their own paths
