[Intro: Winter]
Yeah
[Chorus: Karina, Giselle]
One look, give 'em whiplash
Beat drop with a big flash
C'mon, focus, think fast
They're reasons you'll never understand, uh
Why at last, know I did that, uh
Day one, know I been bad, uh
Don't stop, still shook
Goin' too hard, yet, can't touch that (Can't touch that)
[Refrain: Winter, Ningning]
Under pressure, body sweating, can you focus? (Yeah)
Wherever I am can't stop me, I’m the coldest
I'm the only game changer bringin' the new era
Just close your eyes, breathe in and visualize
[Chorus: Karina, Ningning]
One look give 'em whiplash
Beat drop with a big flash
C'mon, focus, think fast
They're reasons you'll never understand, uh
Why at last, know I did that, uh
Day one, know I been bad
Don’t stop, still shook
Goin' too hard, yet can't touch that (Can't touch that)

Fancy, this so glitzy
It's glowing and it's flashy (Yeah)
Keep it just right, I know it, keep it classy
Cats gon' copy one idea, two, then the whole look (Yeah)
Then deny it (Yeah)
[Refrain: Giselle, Winter]
Under pressure, body sweating, can you focus? (Hoo)
I deliver, I can promise, I'm the coldest (Cold)
Head in the sand won't solve it don't you blow it?
Just close your eyes, breathe in and visualize

Opportunity knocks just one time, unforgettable
I found the right light, won't go gentle into the night
Etched in my eyes one time, unforgettable

Goin' too hard, yet can’t touch that (Can't touch that)

You know it's my site, next sigh so heavy
