Kim Jong-un you P.I.G. threatening with lies
Seeking up H.E.A.T. your country is in sight
P.U.T. next to an IN get ready for a fight
I.C.B.M. to the beat get ready to ignite
You were such a B.I.T. C.H.-ing your lies
As easy as A.B.C. that's how you lost your life
Do the dance(The way you move is a mystery)
Do the dance(Your armpit stain is amusing me)
Do the dance(The way you shake is like misery)
P.S.
If I become inactive in 3 days it's probably because I was taken to a labor camp or gloriously died in it with two middle fingers high in the air.
