    "[Intro]
    Rabid kitties got my back


    [Chorus]
    Grrr, cocktail, brr
    I'm the one you knew, bark woof
    Chug it all, chug it all
    Shake it, my fatty, drop your panties, chug my party
    Shawty like it greasy, I’m not gang, gang, gang
    Don't worry, key gang, gang, gang


    [Verse 1]
    Feeling woozy
    Why do you keep being silly?
    One drink, another drink, I'm dizzy, it’s okay
    Don't worry, it's not a blackout
    Focus up, or maybe I won't?
    Soju, click
    Like it's my first time, I'm sulky again, drunk on dew
    Lying down outside on the terrace, posting on Cass
    Stop spinning, I might die here
    If you try it, you won't last, ah


    [Verse 2]
    Hey, attention, stand straight
    Be careful what you say, it's embarrassing
    I can see everything, I can’t stop your future
    You run without rest
    Caught up in the vibe
    No adults to warn you, so just go (Go)
    Mix your drinks, I’m a nerd, I don't club (Ah)
    Keep a 10m distance, welcome YOUNG POSSE (Ooh)
    Highball, whiskey, tequila
    Taking sips out of curiosity
    Might hit me hard, might secretly throw up
    Even if it happens, I can’t take responsibility


    [Pre-Chorus]
    Beer, beer, I don't like it that much (Much)
    I won't sell my soul
    No devotion at the pub
    I thought I could enjoy like everyone else
    Did I think we'd all just gather and have fun?
    Anyway, it’s all an illusion
    Reality hits with a hangover
    Light my fever, the vibe
    Like it, but can't handle it
    Stumbling, C-walk
    Oh my, can't control hangover (Mm-mm-mm)
    What did you say?
    Asking if I'm drunk
    I don't even believe it
    My face is just red, you fool


    [Chorus]
    Grrr, cocktail, brr
    I'm the one you knew, bark woof
    Chug it all, chug it all
    Shake it, my fatty, drop your panties, chug my party
    Shawty like it greasy, I'm not gang, gang, gang
    Don't worry, key gang, gang, gang


    [Verse 3]
    Ah-ah-ah
    Unnies, stop now (Stop), ah-ah-ah
    (I'm really worried)
    Now take care, drink moderately
    Still topping up, everyone shouts “cheers
    Seems happy, I'm just sipping water
    My style is all water
    I like alcohol too
    You might be surprised if I tell you
    If it's rubbing alcohol, my happiness is full


    [Verse 4]
    The unnies pick drinks, I pour cola in my glass
    Drinking like this, I might get wasted
    Make a bold impression like an adult, just wait a bit for 2026
    When I leave the izakaya, it's emergency, oh my
    Saying this might get me scolded
    Want to go to PC bang past 10
    Next year, cursing without censorship
    Do you know the suffering younger siblings endure?
    When I'm an adult, I'll do it too, I'll be the unnie
    Tekk, tekk, tekk, tekk


    [Chorus]
    Grrr, cocktail, brr
    I'm the one you knew, bark woof
    Chug it all, chug it all
    Shake it, my fatty, drop your panties, chug my party
    Shawty like it greasy, I'm not gang, gang, gang
    Don't worry, key gang, gang, gang"
    CR: Genius


    People would be more understanding if the Young Posse members were at least adults but...

    There is a minor among the members so I don't know what the company was thinking doing this

    It was first brought up overseas


    original post: here


    1. The fact that the members wrote this is even more shocking...

    > ??? The members wrote this??


    2. Wow, I seriously am pretty open minded so I don't mind racy lyrics but I'm just shocked at how weird the lyrics are


    3. Wow, what is this?


    4. A 15 years old..


    5. It's not even a minor who will soon be adult. She's way too young..?


    6. It creeps me out how no one told them not to do this


    7. No but what's worse is that the singers participated in the writing??


    8. No but is this real??


    9. No but even if the kids wrote the lyrics, the company should've drawn the line somewhere...


    10. Are they just doing this openly for noise marketing?..

  • Like I said last time when this came up: it doesn't bother. Maybe they are like that in real life, or maybe it's just a character to play to go along with their image for their target demographic. These are not shocking lyrics for underage people twenty years ago, let alone these days.

  • They wrote this crap themselves?

    I'm scared.

  • I thought Kpop fans wanted their idols to write their own songs/lyrics. Young people write dumb stuff. I'm sure they'll cringe when they mature, but this is what young people have been exposed to through main stream rap. A lot of violent or sexual lyrics.


    They'll eventually grow as artists. Can't really knock them when they are just at the starting line and trying to find their identity as artists. Trial and error.

  • One thing the translation misses, is they add in a lot of word play with soju and beer brands. Like this line:


    Like it's my first time, I'm sulky again, drunk on dew
    Lying down outside on the terrace, posting on Cass


    This line manages to get 3 soju brands, and 2 beer brands into it (Chum Churum, Cham Isul, Sero, Terra and Cass).


    For me it’s just a song about teenagers getting drunk. It might be shocking to hear an Idol rap about this, but it’s really quite tame compared to wider hip-hop (I was listening to Yung Lean when he was 16 and his lyrics were much more wild). Because they wrote the lyrics themselves, I have no problem with it.


    Also, if you look at the line distribution, they make the different ages a feature of the song. This is the maknae’s verse:


    Ah-ah-ah
    Unnies, stop now (Stop), ah-ah-ah
    (I'm really worried)
    Now take care, drink moderately
    Still topping up, everyone shouts “cheers
    Seems happy, I'm just sipping water
    My style is all water
    I like alcohol too
    You might be surprised if I tell you
    If it's rubbing alcohol, my happiness is full

  • morality issues aside (i am of the belief this is something inappropriate for underaged artists to release), whether this is "okay" to release or not, the lyrics are still so unbelievably cringe and embarrassing - especially from a teenager's mouth. why would i, an adult, want to listen to a song with teenagers talking about drinking and dropping their panties? lmao
