NCT U “Misfit” Lyrics

Hangul

la la la la la la la-
I’m a misfit 맞는 fit 자체가 없지
숨이 턱턱 막힌 옷을 입은 느낌
지겹지 고민 없이 그냥 rip it
나를 끌어내리려 할수록 get lifted

애써 날 재단하려는 건 됐어
지금 이대로 가 the best never mess up
의심이 없지 그저 bring it to the next
난 듣는 방법을 몰라 I’m a def

왜 내가 발을 맞춰야 돼 어림없음
다 비슷한 모습 더욱 거슬리는 bossin’
2 phones 에어플레인 모드 날아갈 때야
누구는 내가 미쳤대 nope

It doesn’t matter what they say
어차피 난 내 마음대로 할 텐데
난 언제나 튀어나온 못 다치기 싫으면
U better just stay out of my way okay?

get out my way y’all
get out my way
아무도 나를 막지 못해
우릴 억지로 똑같은 틀에 끼워 넣다간
부숴버릴지도 you dig?

get out my way y’all
get out my way
지킬 법이 법이 없네
적당히라는 법도
날 멈출 방법도
새 룰을 만들어 right here

누군가의 규칙
묻지 말고 따르라는 듯이
채우려고 하네 목줄을
짓밟으려 해 꿈을
내가 얼마나 높이 조준을 하고 있는지
모르니 따분한 소릴 늘어놔

뻔한 소리뿐인 plot
내게 닿기도 전에 뻗어 LeBron block
입이 쩍 벌어지네 이젠 분위기 파악
하길 우리 태도는 늘 do or die

It’s been a minute I’m in it 이미 난 이기는
기분 느끼며 지키는
motto without the business
misfit never fit in
날 막아서는 것들 이미 발아래로 6 feet
깨버려 시스템 믿어 너의 instinct
don’t stop wit attitude like u r 15
rude boys hit the track 식겁해
우린 다르게 보는 중이라 삐딱해

get out my way y’all
get out my way
아무도 나를 막지 못해
우릴 억지로 똑같은 틀에 끼워 넣다간
부숴버릴지도 you dig?

get out my way y’all
get out my way
지킬 법이 법이 없네
적당히라는 법도
날 멈출 방법도
새 룰을 만들어 right here

aight 위기도 분위기도 나를 움직이는 건
아냐 내가 옳다 느낄 때 던지기로
all of my impact 너도 이걸 느낄 때
넌 너만의 길에 be original

한계라고 그어 놓은 선 위
당연하단 듯 crossin’ over it
매일 세워 new anniversary
매일 써 history 외쳐 we made it

warnin’ NCT we mobbin’
네가 어디에 있든지 we comin’
눈이 마주치면 망설이지 말고 jump in
baby come & get it on my team let’s run it

gotta get up go to bigger better things
갈 길이 멀어 피드백은 no thanks
똑바로 걷기엔 전부 비스듬해
우린 다르게 보는 중이라 삐딱해

get out my way y’all
get out my way
아무도 나를 막지 못해
우릴 억지로 똑같은 틀에 끼워 넣다간
부숴버릴지도 you dig?

Translation

La la la la la la la-
I’m a misfit, there’s nothing fitting for me
I feel like I’m wearing suffocating clothes
How sickening, I’m going to just rip it worriless
The more you try to bring me down, the more I do get lifted

I’m done, don’t try hard to judge me
Right now, just as it is, the best never mess up
Have no doubts, just bring it to the next
I do not know how to hear, I’m a def

Why do I have to match your footsteps? No way!
Y’all are the same, even more irritating bossin’
2 phones on airplane mode, time to fly
Some said I’m crazy, nope

It doesn’t matter what they say
Because I will do as I please anyway
I always stand out, if you don’t want to get hurt
U better just stay out of my way okay?

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
No one is stopping me
If you forcefully put us into a frame,
We might break it down, you dig?

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
There is no rule to follow
A rule is to tone it down
As well as when you try to stop me
I’m making new rules right here

It’s as if they’re they trying to tell me
To follow someone’s rules without questioning
They are trying to put a leash on me
And step on my dreams till they crush
Since they don’t know how high am I aiming,
They’re spitting that boring nonsense

It’s just a typical sound, a plot
I’ll block you with Lebron Block before you even reach me
Take a look at the atmosphere now, their jaws be dropping
Our attitude is always “do or die”

It’s been a minute I’m in it
I feel I’m already winning
Motto without the business
Misfit never fit in
Things that try to stop me are already 6 feet under me
Break the system and trust your instinct
Don’t stop wit attitude like u r 15
Rude boys hit the track, beware
We look at it differently, so we are crooked

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
No one is stopping me
If you forcefully put us into a frame,
We might break it down, you dig?

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
There is no rule to follow
A rule is to tone it down
As well as when you try to stop me
I’m making new rules right here

Break it down like
La la la la la la la-
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
(Here’s my favorite part uh)
la la la la la la la la
(now everybody sing)
La la la la la la la
(Hey hey I wanna hear you like)
La la la la la la la la
(Hey hey come on and tell me like)
La la la la la la la
(Hey hey hey)
La la la la la la la la
(Check it out yo)

Aight, it’s neither the crisis nor the atmosphere what moves me
I just throw myself into it when I feel like it’s time to
When you feel all of my impact as well,
Be original in your own way

That line called limit,
As if natural, crossin’ over it
We count our new anniversary everyday
We write history every day, shout out, we made it!

Warnin’ NCT we mobbin’
Wherever you are, we comin’
When our eyes lock, don’t hesitate and jump in
Baby come & get it on my team let’s run it

Gotta get up go to bigger better things, there’s still a long way to go
Feedback? No thanks!
We all are too slanted to walk straight
We look at it differently, so we are crooked

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
No one is stopping me
If you forcefully put us into a frame,
We might break it down, you dig?

Get out my way y’all
Get out my way
There is no rule to follow
A rule is to tone it down
As well as when you try to stop me
I’m making new rules right here

La la la la la la la-

NCT U “Misfit” Meaning

“Misfit” by NCT U is a powerful hip-hop anthem about embracing individuality and refusing to conform to society’s expectations. Inspired by old-school 90s rap, the song delivers a bold message of confidence, rebellion, and self-expression.

The title “Misfit” represents people who feel different or out of place. Instead of seeing that as a weakness, the song turns it into a source of pride, encouraging listeners to accept their uniqueness rather than trying to fit into rigid standards.

The lyrics focus heavily on freedom and self-empowerment. Lines about breaking rules and “never fitting in” reflect the desire to escape pressure, expectations, and limitations imposed by others. The members confidently choose their own path instead of following what society considers normal.

With its aggressive rap delivery and retro hip-hop sound, “Misfit” ultimately becomes an anthem for outsiders celebrating authenticity, confidence, and the courage to stand out unapologetically.
