Hyuna (4Minute) - Because I’m the Best (잘나가서 그래) (feat. Jung Il Hoon of BTOB)

Korean

절대 몰라보는 사람 없이
어딜 가나 Wanna touch me
Look 이게 내 원래 Swag
불만 있는 애들은 물이나 줘도 돼

자 옳지 그래 옳지
(Queen’s back 모르면 쉿)
스케일이 달라 You can’t touch this
들어봤지 빨개요

친구마저 나를 시기해 I know
나만 혼자 여기에
매일같이 난 도마 위에 I know
씹어놔 웃어줄 때

I don’t care 전혀 상관 안 해
I’m OK 내 자리는 여전해
시기 질투 더는 곤란해 I know
사실 조금 위험해

너는 너 나는 나 Hey
이렇게 저렇게 상관없이
너는 너 나는 나 이
렇게 저렇게 이렇게 저렇게

이게 다 내가 잘나가서 그렇지 뭐
내가 예뻐서 그렇지 뭐
다 부러워서 그래요
Baby I’m bad all day
내가 잘나가서 그렇지 뭐
내가 예뻐서 그렇지 뭐
다 배 아파서 그래요
Sorry, I’m a dope girl

자 옳지 그래 옳지
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
자 옳지 그래 옳지
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
자 옳지 그래 옳지
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
자 옳지 그래 옳지
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me

내가 잘나가서 그래
네가 못 나가서 그래
답은 간단하지 그래
관심 부족해서 그래
원래 없지 네 가지
시간 재수 겁 살집
태생부터 사기 캐릭터
주변의 질투 마사지
Oh 여전히 Oh she’s the queen
키 빼고 다 가졌지만
알아서들 문 열지
가짜라고 욕해
진짜였던 적도 없으니
넌 손도 못 잡는 현아랑
누나 동생 사이

너는 너 나는 나 Hey
이렇게 저렇게 상관없이
너는 너 나는 나
이렇게 저렇게 이렇게 저렇게

You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
I don’t care 전혀 상관 안 해
I’m OK 내 자리는 여전해
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
이렇게 저렇게 이렇게 저렇게

English

There’s never anyone who doesn’t know me
Wherever I go, they wanna touch me
Look, this was always my swag
If you have a problem with that, just give them water1

Ok now good, yes good
(Queen’s back, if you don’t know, shh)
My scale is different, you can’t touch this
You’ve heard it, it’s Red

Even my friends get jealous of me, I know
I’m always alone here
On top of the chopping block, I know
Chew me up when I smile

I don’t care, I don’t care at all
I’m OK, my place is still the same
More jealousy and envy makes trouble, I know
Actually, a little dangerous

You and you, I am me, hey
Like this, like that, it doesn’t matter
You are you, I am me
Like this, like that, like this, like that

It’s all because I’m the best
It’s because I’m pretty
It’s because they’re all jealous
Baby I’m bad all day
It’s all because I’m the best
It’s because I’m pretty
It’s because they’re all envious
Sorry, I’m a dope girl

Ok now good, yes good
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
Ok now good, yes good
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
Ok now good, yes good
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
Ok now good, yes good
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me

It’s because I’m the best
It’s because you’re not
The answer is simple
It’s because you don’t get attention
I’ve never had these four things:
Time, likeability2, fear, fat
I’m like a made-up character since I was born
People around me massage me with jealousy
Oh it’s still the same, she’s still the queen
I have everything but height
But they all open the door for me
They call me fake, saying I’ve never been real
But HyunA, who you can’t even hold hands with?
She’s like my sister to me

You and you, I am me, hey
Like this, like that, it doesn’t matter
You are you, I am me
Like this, like that, like this, like that

You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
I don’t care, I don’t care at all
I’m OK, my place is still the same
You can’t touch me Don’t touch me
Like this, like that, like this, like that

Translator’s Notes: 1 In this line, “bool man” (불만) means “to have a problem” or “unhappy.” But”bool man” can also sound like “only fire,” which is why the water reference is used. “People who only have fire (who have a problem), just give them water”
2 재수 없어 (jae soo up ssuh) is one of those sayings that’s hard to translate into English. But many times, people say “jae soo up ssuh” about a person when that person is so good at something or looks so good or comes across good fortune, etc, that it’s unfair. It’s like saying you don’t like someone mixed with a bit of jealousy.
