CORTIS “ACAI” Lyrics

Hangul

Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care (Let’s go)

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
한 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 samba지
혓 속까지 보라색 Genie 마치 Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred 아사이
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, bring that 아사이
벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
내가 많이 좋아해, uh, uh, 아사이

아쉬웠던 taste 걷어 근본 없는 topping
함 바꿔 보게 씬을 마치 명배우의 action
밤새서 session, 새 hotel check-in
그다음 날에 check out 어깨 위에 짐을 올린

당나귀, 당나귀처럼 동서남북 지구
한 바퀴, 한 바퀴 돌다 보면 순간 울려, “Ba-ra-ring”
배꼽에 알람이 (Brr)
It’s time to 아사이, it’s time to 아사이

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
두 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 samba지
혓 속까지 보라색 Genie 마치 Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred 아사이
Bring that 아사이
벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
내가 많이 좋아해, uh, uh, 아사이 (Skrr)

아사이 묻은 tee (묻은 tee), 아사이 묻은 pants (Pants)
아사이 묻은 album (Wow), 만들어 버려 jam (Jam)
난 키워 버려 trend, 다 묻혀 버려 SNS에
Stack ‘n stack ‘n stack
But I ain’t tryna blend, 우린 진짜배기들 하고만 lock in
난 떠났어 제대로 된 거 찾으러 삼만리
밤새서 session, 새 hotel check-in
그다음 날에 check out 어깨 위에 짐을 올린

당나귀, 당나귀처럼 동서남북 지구
한 바퀴, 한 바퀴 돌다 보면 순간 울려, “Ba-ra-ring”
배꼽에 알람이 (Brr)
It’s time to 아사이, it’s time to 아사이 (Yuh)

벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
한 잔 먹고 흥이 올라 흔들면 다 samba지
혓 속까지 보라색 Genie 마치 Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred 아사이 (Ah)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, bring that 아사이 (Hoo, let’s go)
벌컥, 벌컥, 땡겨, 땡겨, I just choke on 아사이
내가 많이 좋아해, uh, uh, 아사이

아사이 (Let’s go)
He, he, he, he, he (Let’s go)
He, he, he, he, he, he
He-he-he (Dang)

Translation

Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care
Who is choking? I don’t care (Let’s go)

Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
After one drink, the mood rises, if you shake it, it’s all samba
Even my tongue turns purple, just like a Genie from Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred acai
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, bring that acai
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
I really like it, uh, uh, acai

Remove the disappointing taste, the toppings with no roots
Let me change the scene like a famous actor’s action
An all-night session, check into a new hotel
Then check out the next day with the luggage loaded on my shoulders

Like a donkey, donkey, east, west, south, north, around the world once
As I go around once, suddenly it rings, “Ba-ra-ring”
An alarm at my bellybutton (Brr)
It’s time for acai, it’s time for acai

Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
After two drinks, the mood rises, if you shake it, it’s all samba
Even my tongue turns purple, just like a Genie from Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred acai
Bring that acai
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
I really like it, uh, uh, acai (Skrr)

Acai-stained tee (Stained tee), acai-stained pants (Pants)
Acai-stained album (Wow), I make a jam out of it (Jam)
I grow the trend, bury it all on SNS
Stack ‘n stack ‘n stack
But I ain’t tryna blend, we only lock in with the real ones
I’ve left, traveling thirty thousand leagues to find something proper
An all-night session, check into a new hotel
Then check out the next day with the luggage loaded on my shoulders

Like a donkey, donkey, east, west, south, north, around the world once
As I go around once, suddenly it rings, “Ba-ra-ring”
An alarm at my bellybutton (Brr)
It’s time for acai, it’s time for acai (Yuh)

Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
After one drink, the mood rises, if you shake it, it’s all samba
Even my tongue turns purple, just like a Genie from Aladdin
All I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah, all I want is uh, yeah, uh, yeah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, hundred acai (Ah)
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, bring that acai (Hoo, let’s go)
Gulp, gulp, pull, pull, I just choke on acai
I really like it, uh, uh, acai

Acai (Let’s go)
He, he, he, he, he (Let’s go)
He, he, he, he, he, he
He-he-he (Dang)

CORTIS “ACAI” Meaning

“ACAI” by CORTIS is an energetic B-side track that uses the açaí berry as a metaphor for passion, creativity, and living intensely. Inspired by the group’s experiences during their production camp, the song transforms a simple superfood into a symbol of confidence, raw energy, and individuality.

The title “ACAI” represents something naturally powerful and addictive. Just as açaí is flavorful and satisfying on its own, the song suggests that genuine talent and creativity do not need unnecessary decoration or trends to stand out. This idea connects closely to CORTIS’s “color outside the lines” philosophy.

Lyrically, the track celebrates ambition, hard work, and enjoying life with full energy. The members compare their drive and passion to an addictive flavor that keeps pulling people in. Rather than chasing perfection, the song focuses on authenticity, freedom, and creating their own identity.

With its lively production and rhythmic, samba-inspired energy, “ACAI” ultimately becomes an anthem for confidence and self-expression encouraging listeners to embrace their natural strengths and live boldly on their own terms.
