Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without it, you can't enter (raw)
New axis
우리 발 밑을 봐봐
New axis, axis
기준을 정하지 우리가
New axis, axis (yeah)
Not right there, right here (right here)
Got the world under my belt (belt)
New axis, axis
Upper echelon all of the above
Qualified, yeah very much (yes very much)
On my neck 난 축을 감았지
착각 this ain't no scarf (brr)
여기저기 나타나는 ability
해내지 끝내 what I start
I could care less 너희들은 아니야
Threat 처리해 한꺼번에 bang, bang
난 한다면 하는 몸이지 yo
So everything is mine for the takin'
Makin' real moves while ya fakin'
하는 말들은 많아 말뿐인 거는 너
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
Center in the center, that's the axis
Longitude may change, look at your GPS
초월했어 핵 전부 끌어당기지 yo
우리 발 밑을 봐봐 (yeah)
New axis, axis (hoo)
기준을 정하지 우리가 (ah)
New axis, axis (yeah, yeah)
모여들기 시작해 (wow)
Not right there, right here
Got the world under my belt (my belt)
New axis, axis
안 되는 일 그건 doesn't exist
앞에 뭐가 있던 뻗어내 fist
보여주고 증명해 이게 real
해내버리지 it's not a big deal, wow (done it)
소프라노처럼 소리 지르게 해
아무것도 아닌 듯이 do my thang
이러니 전부 끌어당길 수밖에
I don't see the money
집에 가도 runnin'
It's my way of de-stressing (stressing)
앞만 보고 가려 하지
'Cause we don't know how to look back
우리 발 밑을 봐봐 (yeah)
New axis, axis
기준을 정하지 우리가 (ayy, ayy)
New axis, axis
모여들기 시작해
Not right there, right here
Got the world under my belt
New axis, axis
Axis, axis, axis, axis
(It's new axis)
Axis, axis, axis, axis
(Ain't no exit)
우릴 향하는 너의 path
New axis, axis
끌어당기지 right here (what's up)
New axis, axis
