TKO Lyrics

[Intro: An Yujin]
Are you ready?

[Verse 1: An Yujin, Rei, Gaeul]
같아 보일 수가 없어 난 (Ha)
걷힌 베일 속에 당찬 smile (Woo)
Better watch out, baby, I bite (Ha)
(Let them know, let them know, TKO)
Hold up, 날 예의주시 해 (Woo)
가볍게 뱉던 네 말 in goody bag (Woo)
Ain’t no show-and-tell, you don’t know me like that (Don’t know)
눈을 맞출 때 이미 다른 my 클래스

[Pre-Chorus: Leeseo, Jang Wonyoung]
턱 끝을 당겨 이제 (Ayy)
놀란 널 가둔 eyes
힘껏 내 지른 fire
절대 넌 못 피해 날 (Yaow)
‘Cause I’ma TKO
뻔한 네 머릿속
믿다 다쳐 넌 큰 코
I’m bad to the bad to the, bone

[Chorus: An Yujin, Liz]
‘Cause I’ma TKO
쉽게 놀린 네 손
전부 부숴 난 네 플롯
Let them know, TKO
‘Cause I’ma TKO
하얗게 번진 스모크
So hot but the ice so cold
(Let them know)

[Post-Chorus: Liz]
Let them know, TKO
La, la, la, la, la

[Verse 2: Rei, Gaeul]
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
비뚤어진 네 관심은 허니
여유로운 스트레이트 꽂아 넣어 깊이 (Woo, woo)
Hello haters, Im’a blow you a kiss
Take my punch line, 어서 링 위에 올라
It’s a fight club, 집중 해 내게만
Toxic, 독이 되는 네, 아무 gibberish
세게 밟아 없애 get clean

[Pre-Chorus: Leeseo, Jang Wonyoung, Liz]
주먹을 올려 이제 (Woo; 려 이제)
춤추듯 떼 두 발 (Woo; Oh)
벌써 빈 틈이 보여 (Oh, woah, oh)
날카롭게 뻗어 right (Yaow)
‘Cause I’ma TKO
뻔한 네 머릿속
믿다 다쳐 넌 큰 코
I’m bad to the bad to the, bone

[Chorus: An Yujin, Liz]
‘Cause I’ma TKO (I’ma TKO)
쉽게 놀린 네 손 (놀린 네 손, oh)
전부 부숴 난 네 플롯 (Hey, yeah)
Let them know, TKO
‘Cause I’ma TKO (Oh)
하얗게 번진 스모크 (Ah)
So hot but the ice so cold
(Let them know)

[Post-Chorus: Liz]
Let them know, TKO
La, la, la, la, la

[Interlude]
Float like a butterfly, sting like—
Float like a butterfly, sting like—
Float like a butterfly, sting like—
Float like a butterfly, sting like— (Oh, yeah)

[Verse 3: Rei, Gaeul, Leeseo]
Keep on lookin’ (Keep on lookin’)
I’ma baddie (I’ma baddie)
턱 끝까지 (턱 끝까지)
엉킨 네 breathing
Keep on workin’ (Keep on workin’)
I’m so crazy (I’m so crazy)
한 방 먹일 (한 방 먹일, ayy)
회심의 타이밍

[Bridge: An Yujin]
더 깊게 남겨 놓은 상처를 가르고
Hit that noise, 보여 줄게 완벽한 TKO (Baby it’s a TKO)

[Chorus: Jang Wonyoung, Liz]
‘Cause I’ma TKO (Baby, oh)
주도 해 난 this flow (Oh, yeah)
흉터 마저도 so glow
Let them know, TKO (Let them know)
‘Cause I’ma TKO (TKO)
하얗게 번진 스모크 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
So hot but the ice so cold (Hey, yeah)
(Let them know, gotcha)

[Post-Chorus: Liz]
Let them know, TKO
La, la, la, la, la
