Original Korean Lyrics:
거리 위 텅 빈 듯한 이 느낌 (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
열기로 가득 채워 Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
경계를 Break break out
어디든지 겨눠 봐
이젠 우리가 방아쇨 당겨 잘 봐
We're back, no more brakes
모두 다 Sit back
이젠 마주해 날 향한 Scream
오랜 기다림의 끝에 불을 붙여
시동 거는 순간 It's game over, ya
Talk talk 어딜 가도
Talk talk 내 얘기로
다들 떠들썩해 (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
찢어지는 듯한 마찰음 위로 난
선을 넘어서
시간을 자유롭게 (Ah)
더 뜨겁게 이 순간을 달궈
Burn up the road
날 넘어설 그때까지
거리 위 텅 빈 듯한 이 느낌 (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
열기로 가득 채워 Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
경계를 Break break out
어디든지 겨눠 봐
이젠 우리가 방아쇨 당겨 잘 봐
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
지금 우린 Running (지금 우린 Running)
Reloading oh yea
새롭게 날 채워 다시
Whip fast 거침없이 핸들 더 꺾어
붕 뜨는 몸은 마치
Like a roller coaster
터질 듯 엑셀을 밟아봐
We outta control, ya, ya
We won't stop the race
Until it's over, ya
Talk talk 어떤 말도
Talk talk 이 순간 속
우릴 설명 못 해 (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
가장 눈부신 이 속도에 올라타
모두 놀랄 그 장면 속 우릴 향해 oh-oh-oh-oh
몇 번이고 한곌 뛰어넘어
Burn up the road
다시 내일이 올 때까지
심장 속 터질 듯한 Energy (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
끝까지 나를 던져 Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
기록은 Break break out
매번 갈아치워 가
이젠 세상에 우릴 쏴 올려 잘 봐
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
지금 우린 Running (지금 우린 Running)
Reloading oh yea
새롭게 날 채워 다시
눈 앞에 펼쳐진 세상을 봐
꿈꿔왔던 Story 더는 꿈이 아냐
새롭게 뜬 태양을 마주 봐
Flying down the road
Let's roll
도로 위로 가득한
붉은 불빛들은 날
멈춰 있으라지만
Woah woah woah woah
더는 같은 길을 향해
가지 않아 이젠 Switch my lane
나만의 새로운 길을 만들어
벗어나 Rush hour
심장 속 터질 듯한 Energy (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
끝까지 나를 던져 Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
기록은 Break break out
매번 갈아치워 가
이젠 세상에 우릴 쏴 올려 잘 봐
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
지금 우린 Running (지금 우린 Running)
Reloading oh yea
새롭게 날 채워 다시
새롭게 날 채워 다시
English Translation:
This empty feeling on the street (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Fill it with heat, Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Break break out, Break the boundary
Target anywhere
Now we be pullin' the trigger, Watch us
We're back, No more brakes
Everyone, sit back
Now I'm gonna face the screams towards me
After a long wait, I light the fire
When I crank up the engine, It's game over, ya
Talk talk anywhere
Talk talk about me
Everyone is busy talking (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Up on the clanking noise
I cross the line
And use the time freely (Ah)
Heat up this moment, Make it hotter
Burn up the road
Until I surpass myself
This empty feeling on the street (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Fill it with heat, Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Break break out, Break the boundary
Target anywhere
Now we be pullin' the trigger, Watch us
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Now we're running (Now we're running)
Reloading oh yea
Fill me up refresh me again
Whip fast without hesitation, Turn the steering wheel more
Floating body is
Like a roller coaster
Press the accelerator like exploding
We outta control, ya, ya
We won't stop the race
Until it's over, ya
Talk talk anything
Talk talk in this moment
We can't be explained (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Get on this most dazzling speed
Towards us in the scene where everyone will be amazed oh-oh-oh-oh
So many times I go beyond the limit
Burn up the road
Until tomorrow comes again
In my heart exploding energy (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Until the end throw, Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Break the record, Break out
We break the record every time
Now take us up to the world watch us
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Now we're running (Now we're running)
Reloading oh yea
Fill me up refresh me again
Look at the world in front of you
The story you dreamed is not a dream anymore
Face the newly rising sun
Flying down the road
Let's roll
Red lights
Full on the road
Tell me to stop
Woah woah woah woah
I don't go toward the same path anymore
Now I switch my lane
I make my new path
Get out of rush hour
In my heart exploding energy (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Until the end throw, Reloading (ridin' and rollin' oh baby)
Break the record, Break out
We break the record every time
Now take us up to the world watch us
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Ridin' and Rollin' oh baby
Reloading
Now we're running (Now we're running)
Reloading oh yea
Fill me up refresh me again
