SMB Lyrics (Korean)
[Intro]
(‘Tari, get over here)
If things were how you wanted them to be all the time
Wouldn’t that take the fu—
Shut up
[Verse 1]
I don’t care about none of your bullshit
You ain’t livin’ life like me
[Chorus]
Should I be mad too? (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Should I be mad too? (Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
‘Cause I’ll be mad
[Refrain]
I had a Corolla, now I got a chauffeur
Keepin’ this shit on the row, I ain’t runnin’ ’til it’s over
Whole block on my side, we’ve been itchin’ just to blow up
Shoot him while he down (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
[Verse 2]
Should I be mad?
하나도 없어 재미
나잇값해라 놈팽이
딱 도리도리 잼잼
Why are you mad?
뭐 된 줄 알아 hitman
남 관찰할 시간 있음
네 뒤통수나 조심해
Du-du-du, bang
시기 질투 인생
눈멀어 실명 거론하며 욕하는 꼬라지
눈치 게임 평생
일할 때 안 하고 뒤늦게 열만 계속 내지
아이고 더워 어째 네 집을 흔적까지 불 붙이는 내 부채질
수준 미달 꼰대
I know it’s unfair
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, that brand’s muse is already me
Yeah, yeah, your keyboard makes mе money
Fame, yeah, don’t bе too mad, I’m sorry
Yeah, yeah, there’s no way
[Chorus]
(Uh-uh-uh) Should I be mad too?
‘Cause I’ll be mad
(Uh-uh-uh) Should I be mad too?
‘Cause I’ll be mad
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
‘Cause I’ll be mad
[Refrain]
I had a Corolla, now I got a chauffeur
Keepin’ this shit on the row, I ain’t runnin’ ’til it’s over
Whole block on my side, we’ve been itchin’ just to blow up
Shoot him while he down

[Verse 2]
Should I be mad?
Not at all fun
You’re not worth it, you punk
Just childish fun
Why are you mad?
What do you know, hitman?
You have time to observe others?
Watch out for the back of your head
Du-du-du, bang
A life of jealousy and envy
Blind and senseless, mocking while throwing insults
Forever playing the guessing game
Skipping work when needed, only to blow up later
Oh dear, it’s hot, look at me fanning the flames
Even setting your home’s remains on fire
An outdated, subpar boomer
I know it’s unfair
[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, that brand’s muse is already me
Yeah, yeah, your keyboard makes me money
Fame, yeah, don’t be too mad, I’m sorry
Yeah, yeah, there’s no way

Keepin’ this shit on the row, I ain’t runnin’ ’til it’s over
Whole block on my side, we’ve been itchin’ just to blow up
