You can call me artist (artist)
You can call me idol (idol)
아님 어떤 다른 뭐라 해도 (해도)
I don’t care
I’m proud of it
난 자유롭네
No more irony
나는 항상 나였기에

손가락질 해, 나는 전혀 신경 쓰지 않네
나를 욕하는 너의 그 이유가 뭐든 간에
I know what I am
I know what I want
I never gon’ change
I never gon’ trade

뭘 어쩌고 저쩌고 떠들어대셔
I do what I do, 그니까 넌 너나 잘하셔
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself

Love my dance and my what
내 속안엔 몇 십 몇 백명의 내가 있어
오늘 또 다른 날 맞이해
어차피 전부 다 나이기에
고민보다는 걍 달리네
