[Verse 1]

정중앙 흑색의 저 점도
🗣️ Jeong-jung-ang heuk-saek-ui jeo jeom-do
💬 That black dot right in the bullseye

맞춰 내 재빠른 계획도
🗣️ Mat-chwo nae jae-ppa-reun gye-hoek-do
💬 I hit it spot on, along with my swift master plan

허점 없이 완벽한 판도
🗣️ Heo-jeom eop-si wan-byeok-han pan-do
💬 A flawless playing field without a single loophole

위에서 춤춰 내 plan대로 keep going
🗣️ Wi-e-seo chum-chwo nae plan-dae-ro keep going
💬 Dancing right on top, keep going according to my plan

Sick of this life, it's regular

승리를 너무 과식했지 배불러
🗣️ Seung-ni-reul neo-mu gwa-si-kaet-ji bae-bul-leo
💬 Overdosed on victories, I'm already stuffed

산책도 할 겸 허리띠 매 둘러
🗣️ San-chaek-do hal gyeom heo-ri-tti mae dul-leo
💬 Fastening my belt, might as well go for a casual stroll

우린 우주로 나머지 전부 kneel, I'm strong

💬 We're heading into the cosmos while everyone else kneels, I'm strong

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
안 되는 것 없이 I do it
🗣️ An doe-neun geot eop-si I do it
💬 With nothing impossible, I do it

Just pull out my trigger I got that
I'mma pop pop pop take a shot yeah
Shoot down my goals one by one, I snipe them
Filling up my truck yeah you want that ride
(Boom)
Hit you like a truck I'mma make you fly

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• 안 되는 것 없이 (An doe-neun geot eop-si): Without anything failing / Nothing is out of reach — Expresses absolute confidence in executing every ambition.

My amigo
Filling up my truck yeah you want that ride
(Boom)
Hit you like a truck I'mma make you fly

📚 Section Vocabulary & Notes:

• 영점 조준 (Yeong-jeom jo-jun): Zeroing in / Sight alignment — The military/shooting term for calibrating a firearm's sights so that the bullet hits exactly where aimed.
• 과녁 (Gwa-nyeok): Target / Bullseye board.
