In April 2016, they made their comeback through the Korean variety show Infinite Challenge. A guerilla concert was planned by the show since fall 2015, but was spoiled by reporters. Despite the hurdles, their appearance on the program was met with high praise, making their comeback a huge success.
5 of them have also signed with YG Entertainment and have since held a concert and released a new single accompanied by the "Re-Album" with their old hits remastered.

Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Who can mess with six
Now with this mix boom watch this
Oh, rise up
Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Now with this mix boom watch this
아리 아리 아리요 스리스리스리예
아주아주 먼 길을 왔네
아리 아리 아리 공부 고개를
오늘도 넘어 간다
음악 미술은 저리 미뤄두고
국, 영, 수를 우선으로 해야
아리 아리 아리 인정받고
일류 대학으로 간다
소리가 나지 않는 전화처럼
난 아무 표현없이 세상을
살아가고 있다
학교종이 땡 하고 울리면서
우리들의 전쟁은 다시 시작된다
모두의 친구는 모두의 적
모두가 서로 모두 밟으려고
발버둥을 친다
이렇게 싸우다가 누가 살아남나
가엾게 뒤로 쳐딘 자는 이제 뭔가
Oh, rise up
Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Who can mess with six
Now with this mix boom watch this
Oh, rise up
Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Who can mess with six
Now with this mix boom watch this
왜 내가 알고싶은 사실들은
학교에서 배울수가 없마 (없냐)
내가 수학 시간 공부했던 방정식들이
그게 어떤 도움이 되나
만일 영어 시험에서 백점 맞는다고
아메리칸 맨과 마리 토하나
우리 가르치는 선생밈은 그렇게 하나
나는 모르겠다 알고 싶은 것이 많다
Boom boom Ha
Ha ha hip hip
Boom boom hu
Ha ha hip hip
Boom boom Ha
Ha ha hip hip
Hit me one more time
Go Go Sechskies
Boom boom Ha
Ha ha hip hip
Boom boom hu
Ha ha hip hip
Boom boom Ha
Ha ha hip hip
Hit me one more time
Go Go Sechskies
어디서 무얼 하다 이제 돌아와
아직도 숙제 안하고
나중에 넌 뭐할래
어기적 거리다가 남들 다 갈 때
너 혼자 인생망치고
나오자 돼 뭐할래
오늘도 난 아주 변함없이 창살 없는 감옥에서
살다 (살다) 잠이 든다 (든다)
꿈속에서 난 새가 된다
하늘을 향해 자유롭게 날아간다
어느새 나타난 우리부모님과
선생님이 나를 향해 총을 쏜다
예 깜짝놀라며 나는 떨어진다
그리고는 땀에 절어 잠을 깬다
중간고사 (나 한번 잡아봐라)
기말고사 (화나면 잡아봐라)
내신서적 (화나면 이겨봐라)
수능시험 (내가 일등이야)
딴 생각들은 집어 치워
그저 시키는 대로만 달달 외워라
난 컴퓨터가 될거야
이러다 미쳐버리고 말거야
Oh, rise up
Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Who can mess with six
Now with this mix boom watch this
Oh, rise up
Do not mess around, the time is up
Gotta scream now
Who can mess with six

The lyrics of Sechskies's song "School Byeolgok" describe the struggles and challenges of being a student in South Korea, where education is highly valued and considered a crucial factor in the success of individuals in society. The song starts with a call to action, urging the students to rise up and take their education seriously. The lyrics emphasize the pressure and competition that students face, as well as the sacrifices they make for the sake of their studies. The song also alludes to the social dynamics of school, where friends can turn into enemies and everyone is trying to climb the social ladder.
The second verse of the song highlights the limitations and frustrations of the education system, where students are expected to memorize information rather than think critically or creatively. The lyrics express a desire for more meaningful learning experiences and a frustration with the narrow focus of the curriculum. The song ends with a series of tests and exams that students must go through, each one representing a different level of pressure and expectation. The repeated refrain of "Oh, rise up, do not mess around, the time is up, gotta scream now, who can mess with six, now with this mix boom watch this," is a rallying cry for students to stay focused and motivated.
Overall, the lyrics of "School Byeolgok" provide a commentary on the challenges and realities of the education system in South Korea, emphasizing the pressure and competition that students face, as well as critiquing the limitations of the curriculum.

ps: there are some parts of the lyric that i'm not sure whether it's right or not. so i apologize in advance if i made any mistakes

I think the official lyrics on Melon says "Gotta scream now who can mess with six, now with this mix, booh watch this". But you did a great job already, the English part is really hard to translate...
halima aissa putri adheweni
solmate youngbae ahh, that could be right since i can't understand what is 'every one more time'? lol. thanks for letting me know😊
Siti Farhana
adheweni I'm not sure either but I hear them saying 'Hit me' instead of 'Him Him' and 'Hit me one more time'. But I'm really grateful you make these videos since I can't find lyrics to some of their songs especially this one, thank you so much for all your effort 🙏🙏🙏
