Coup d'état
G-Dragon ft. Diplo & Baauer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People
The revolution will not be televised
The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is here
This is my coup d'etat
입에서 입으로 도는 부메랑
Hand's up, up, get high (high)
노래 시작한다 내가 술래다

꼭꼭 숨어 머리카락 보일라
난 아버님 댁 놓아드린 새 보일러
그래 이건 스포일러 I'm so fly
무서워 'F' 킬라
여자들의 가슴 훔치는 고릴라
Bang bang bang 난 이빨로 돈을 벌어
내 노래 한번에 넌 회사에서 손을 털어
도 돼 이 game 에 난 타 to the 짜
너는 사 to the 짜 절대 모르니까 fame

This is my coup d'etat (oh)
입에서 입으로 도는 부메랑
Hand's up, up, get high (high)
노래 시작한다 내가 술래다

시시 시간이 돈이라면 난 상당히 빈곤
1년365일 홍길동 신공
내 폰은 계속 울어대 갓난 애 마냥
내 폰은 계속 짖어대 옆집 개 마냥
Bow wow wow yeppie-yo-yeppie-ye
자뻑에 허세 갑옷 아주 뻔뻔해
I'm so fresh so clean
세탁소랑 경쟁해
And my flow so sick
중환자실 연행해 what

This is my coup d'etat (oh)
입에서 입으로 도는 부메랑
Hand's up, up, get high (high)
노래 시작한다 내가 술래다

(Let's get on it) 머리,어깨,무릎,발 swag check mic check
하나,둘,셋,넷 난 MC 먹는 팩맨
머리,어깨,무릎,발 swag check mic check
하나,둘,셋,넷 이건 복음 amen
Ay you want some, you want some more
It's not enough (평범해지는 것이 내 유일한 금칙)
Ay give me some, give some more alright y'all (어줍잖은 남자들은 따라 하기 금지)

This is my coup d'etat (oh)
입에서 입으로 도는 부메랑
Hand's up, up, get high (high)
노래 시작한다 내가 술래다

This is my coup d'etat
입에서 입으로 도는 부메랑




Hand's up, get high
노래 시작한다 노래 끝났다
