You say, It’s changed
Show must go on, Behave

Don’t play on me no we’re
Air B&B, You’re ‘Home-less’
νΌλΉλ°±μ°-ν΄μ§-λ―Έ-μ₯μΌ (mise-en-scΓ¨ne)
Hon-bi-baek-san-hae-jin-mi-jang-sen (mise-en-scène)

Toad, oh dear toad, I came back with my troops
λ―κ³ λ§λ³΄κ³ μ¦κΈ°κ³ big bang when I shoot
Tteut-go mat-bo-go jeul-gi-go big bang when I shoot
Tear it up, savor the taste, enjoy every bite — big bang when I shoot
‘King’ in the Zoo, He gotta do what I do
1 of 1, not of them (mirror)
Man in the ‘Views’ Aimin’ at you?!
Yea, I’m aiming at a man & Amen achoo
Bless you all ‘Cleaned house’ Foo

- λκ»μ λκ»μ (Du-kkeob-a du-kkeob-a): An iconic Korean traditional nursery chant ('Toad, Toad, give me a new house and take the old one'). G-DRAGON cleverly flips this to signal building a brand-new home/empire.
- λ―κ³ λ§λ³΄κ³ μ¦κΈ°κ³ (Tteut-go mat-bo-go jeul-gi-go): A famous Korean advertising catchphrase ('Tear it, taste it, enjoy it') used here with swagger to depict tearing up the competition.

Golden days are still alive

Well I said, I would be back

And I’d never let you go
Pick a petal off a flower
Do you love me or (STOP!)
