I gotta deal with me now

Don't worry about

It is what it is, they'd be like, "Who's she?"

She's a whole different animal

Got the beast unleashed, deureonaeneun teeth

She's a whole different animal

Body on heat, jeo teugijeomeul neomeo tto

Why you tryna glitch?

(Crash, crash, crash, crash)

To the P-O-S got me

(To it, to it, to it, to it)

Whole different animal

She a whole different animal, different animal

Whole different animal, different animal

Iced up but furious (Different animal, different animal)

My scars, so glorious (Different animal, different animal)

Embrace the danger (Different animal, different animal)

Kiss, kiss the pressure (Different animal, different animal)

She's the chief, who's she? (Different animal, different animal)

Back it up, proof read (Different animal, different animal)

Wrote it on my body, I've had enough

Uisim eopsi dasi tto naedidyeo

Why they don't be talkin' about this? I wanna talk about

Say why they don't be talkin' about this, I wanna talk about

Nal gadulsurok, I just get harder, harder

Give me all smoke, gun powder, powder, woo

It is what it is, they'd be like, "Who's she?"

She's a whole different animal

Modeun ge bakkwin daeum dangyeui breed

She's a whole different animal

Body on heat, jeo teugijeomeul neomeo

Whole different animal

She a whole different animal, different animal

Whole different animal, different animal

Oh, now you wanna hear me, huh? (Di-di-, di-di-)

Oh, now you wanna hear me go crazy, crazy (Di-di-, di-di-)

Why they don't be talkin' about this? I wanna talk about

Say why they don't be talkin' about this, I wanna talk about
