O-RLY? (English Translation) Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo, I gotta, gotta tell you something
So, what? Yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
Nonstop action, tick-tock, boom
Headphones over your ears, hood draped loosely
Nodding
Free flow, no matter what they say, yeah, I don’t care
I got that and I want it
Make it the way I want
Look at another world, so they call me a misfit
Even if you don’t understand me, just the way I am
[Pre-Chorus]
Enjoy it as I please, 24/7
Existence itself is trouble
Do it
Anything anything, ooh-ooh-ooh
I don’t lose my cool I like me
I don’t know what’s serious
The obvious words
Stop, wait, what ya saying?
[Chorus]
Oh, really? (Really?)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what?
Oh, really? (What can I do)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what?
What are you saying again, talkin’ to me, talkin’ to me
Talkin’ to me (Yep, yep, yep, yep)
I kill it more, enjoy it, feel it
Oh, really?
[Verse 2]
Willy nilly, trapped in a maze
Dilly dally, time just keeps passing by
There’s nothing to be afraid of, do it boldly
I’m like D-D-D-D, Z-Z-Z-Z (Woah, woah, woah, woah)
Willy Wonka, sometimes umpa lumpas
Swallow it like chocolate
Left hook, right, jab it thrillingly
Everyone can’t expect it, call me a time bomb
[Pre-Chorus]
Enjoy it as I please, as I please, 24/7
Existence itself is trouble
It’s dangerous
Stop, wait, what ya saying?
[Chorus]
Oh, really? (Really?)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what?
Oh, really? (What should I do?)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what? What are you saying again talkin’ to me, talkin’ to me
Talkin’ to me (Yep, yep, yep, yep)
I’m killing it more, enjoying it, feel it
Oh, really?
[Bridge]
Mm, even though you seem to be smiling without thinking
I know exactly what I want, show you how (Show you, show you)
Off road that’ll sparkle wherever my feet touch
To the next (Uh-huh, you serious?)
[Chorus]
Oh, really? (Really?)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what?
Oh, really? (어뭐)
Got my thing, got my thing, so what?
What are you saying again talkin’ to me, talkin’ to me
Talkin’ to me (Yep, yep, yep, yep)
I’m killing it more, enjoying it, feel it
Oh, really?
[Outro]
Yeah, back it, back it, back it, back it, back it up (Back it up)
No time to worry, skip it all
Back it, back it, back it, back it, back it up
Shush all the boring stuff, oh, really?
