[Verse 1: Yeji]
정해진 길을 버리고
나만의 거리를 만들어 가 (Hey)
Someone said I'm like a leopard
Hell, yeah, I'm untamable, I mean I'm born to be wild
상처는 결국 아무니까
갑옷 따윈 I don't need that (Hey)
까만 두 눈동자에 독기를 머금은 채
붉은 카펫 위로, I smile with the queen's attitude
[Pre-Chorus: Yeji]
우아한 장미의 미소만을 바라
보이지 않는 가시들이 찔러대는데
얼마든지 다쳐도 좋아
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
[Chorus: Yeji]
I'ma light my way
어둠 속에서 피워 내 new flame
누릴 수 있어 'cause I paid the price
끝까지 품위를 지켜내니까
I got a crown on my head, crown on my head
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head, crown on my head
The only thing that's on my mind, oh
[Verse 2: Yeji]
I don't fear, 그게 뭐라도
고갤 세워, like I told ya, "Keep your chin up"
꺾으려 해도 I'm invincible
네 눈앞에 다시 보란 듯이 또 피어나
부딪혀도 I'm not afraid, 과감하게, ayy
I know my way, got no limit, I go straight, ayy
Feel the pain then I gain that I paid
Yeah, I'm on my way to throne
[Pre-Chorus: Yeji]
우아한 장미의 미소를 지을래
가려진 그늘은 계속 커져간대도
얼마든지 다쳐도 좋아
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
[Chorus: Yeji]
I'ma light my way
어둠 속에서 피워 내 new flame
누릴 수 있어 'cause I paid the price
끝까지 품위를 지켜내니까
I got a crown on my head, crown on my head
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head, crown on my head
The only thing that's on my mind, oh
[Bridge: Yeji]
The hundred scars on my heart
That's all me, myself and I
내 선택에 후횐 없어
'Cause I got all in me
[Breakdown: Yeji]
Yeah
Ah-ah
[Chorus: Yeji]
I'mma light my way (Light my way)
어둠 속에서 피워 내 new flame (New flame)
누릴 수 있어 'cause I paid the price
끝까지 품위를 지켜내니까
I got a crown on my head, crown on my head (I deserve it, I deserve it)
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head, crown on my head (Hey, yeah)
The only thing that's on my mind, oh (Oh)

IIIII. English
[Verse 1]
I ditch the safe route
And make my own way
Someone said I'm like a leopard
Hell yeah, I'm untamable
I mean I'm born to be wild
'Cause the wound is nothing in the end
I don't need armor or anything like that
With venom in the two black eyes
On the red carpet
I smile with the queen's attitude
[Pre-Chorus]
They only want the graceful smile of a rose
Even invisible thorns are piercing me
I don't care how much I get hurt
"What doesn't kill me makеs me stronger"
[Chorus]
I'mma light my way
In the dark, I sеt off a new flame
I deserve this 'cause I paid the price
And keep my dignity till the end
I got a crown on my head
Crown on my head
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head
Crown on my head
The only thing that's on my mind, oh
[Verse 2]
I don't fear, whatever it will be
Keep your chin up like I told ya
"Keep your chin up"
Even you try to break me, I'm invincible
I bloom again proudly as if you can see
Even though I hit a barrier, I'm not afraid, be bold, ay
I know my way, got no limit, I go straight, ay
Feel the pain then I gain that I paid
Yeah, I'm on my way to throne
[Pre-Chorus]
Shall I bear the smile of an elegant rose?
Even the shadows that was hidden goes on growing
I'm fine, no matter how much I'm hurt
"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger"
[Chorus]
I'mma light my way
In the dark, I set off a new flame
I deserve this 'cause I paid the price
And keep my dignity till the end
I got a crown on my head
Crown on my head
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head
Crown on my head
The only thing that's on my mind, oh
[Bridge]
The hundreds scars on my heart
That's all me, myself and I
I have no regrets about my choice
'Cause I got all in me
[Breakdown]
Yeah
Ah-ah
[Chorus]
I'mma light my way (Light my way)
In the dark, I set off a new flame (New flame)
I deserve this 'cause I paid the price
And keep my dignity till the end
I got a crown on my head (I deserve it)
Crown on my head (I deserve it)
Chosen my life to shine
Crown on my head (Hey, yeah)
Crown on my head
The only thing that's on my mind, oh (Oh)
