What you gonna do? What I gotta do?
Keep me up and makin' a cash, in flash, at last
Do you wanna see the light or stand alone? Uh!
What you gonna do now what's up with the past?

What you gonna do? What I gotta do?
This is how we do it you n*ggas better know
Do you wanna see the light or stand alone?
In the midst of flippin' side, puttin' it down
Wild comin' through your town

(Hey yo yo) Shootin' to kill, lyrics I spill are raw deal
Essentially and mentally ill, that's for real
The source of a commin' to tie down and torture ya
Coast to coast now we boogie sprang in the raid
Watch it quiver, body blows bein' delivered
By thriller, sicker than the healer, when I come with the
Strains the mega pains that remain in your brain
Low tails a stain a mental high pain

백조의 호수를 어떻게
저기 대입시킬수 있는지
유영진은 진심 천재다~~
노래 진심 섹시하다
요새는 이런 그룹이 없지
남돌들은 없는듯
뭔가 다비슷해 보이지
이런 개성이 강한 그룹이 다시
나올수 있을까~?
요새는 여그룹이
대세라~이런 남그룹은
다신 나오기 힘들다
