NCT DREAM “Beat It Up” Lyrics

Hangul

Beat it, it, it up, beat it, it, it up
Beat it, it, it up, beat it, it, it up
Beat it, it, it up, beat it, it, it up
Beat it, it, it up, beat it, it, it up

Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
끌어 올려 폼 우린 challenger (Beat it—)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
부숴 다음 벽 우린 challenger (Beat it—)

You already know how we beat it up
덤벼 누가 됐든 간 bring it on
다음 stage 향해 빨리 giddy up
원해 game 원해 play, still not enough
Mic that I choke like it’s MMA
맨손에다 맨발, no pepper spray
흔들려도 유지해 내 포커페이스
허리에 둘린 벨트의 무게를 던져 straight

So let me beat it up, 내가 이룬 걸
봐 다시 일어난 다음
왔어 맨 위로 너흰 slow-mo, wow
빛보다 speed it up
Rush bodies, touch bodies
Need it, got it, 매일을 치열하게 왔어 (What’s up? What’s up?)
숫자는 잊기 위해서 (What’s up?)
Lookin’ at me like

Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
끌어 올려 폼 우린 challenger (Beat it—)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
Show you how we beat it up (Beat it, it, it up)
부숴 다음 벽 우린 challenger (Beat it—)

빼어난 type 안 쓰러져 stand strong
가시밭길을 걸어도 여전히 handsome
아마 나의 템포를 따라오는 게 최선
알다시피 내가 뜨면 그곳은 dance hall
시작 in and out
범벅 땀, get a towel
일으켜, make it pow
Beat it up another round (Ooh)

It’s easy to say, it’s harder to do (It’s harder to do now)
