(내 말이) "Respect" 말 그대로 보고 자꾸 보는 거 자꾸 보다보면은 단점이 보여 But 그럼에도 자꾸 보고 싶단 건 필요하지 그 누구를 향한 완벽한 신념 해서 난 도무지 쉽게 말 못 해 아득하거든 그 무게와 두께 언젠가 당당히 말할 수 있게 되기를 진심을 다해서 내게도 네게도, huh 부디 존경을 쉽게 말하지 마, yeah 아직 나도 잘 모르겠으니까, yeah 나도 가끔 내가 무서우니까 약한 내가 간파당하면 어쩌지 (Respect) 쉽게들 말하네 (Respect) 뭔지 모르는데 (Respect) 다시 들여다보길 (Respect) One time (Respect) Two times (Respect) 쉽겐 말 안 할래 (Respect) 아직 잘 몰라도 (Respect) 언젠가 말할게 (Respect) One time (Respect) Oh, yeah Respect이 뭔데?

Respect이 뭐길래? 다들 respect을 말하는지 솔직히 이해가 안 되네 누구를 존경한다는 게 그렇게 쉬운 거였니? 아직도 이해가 안 되네 솔까 존경은 필요 없지 존중조차도 없는데 뒤에선 호박씨 까는 거 너 빼곤 다 아는데 글쎄 나는 솔직히 너를 respect 너도 나를 respect 할 거라는 생각은 1도 없으니 스킵해 Respect 나는 너를 respect 웃으면서 욕하는 저 친구에게 박수 (Respect, respect) 너의 삶에 모든 영광과 번영이 깃들길 (Respect, respect) 너의 앞길엔 영원한 축복이 함께하길 (Respect, respect) 돈 명예 전진 전진 (Respect, respect) 그래 널 존경해 yeah (Respect) 쉽게들 말하네 (Respect) 뭔지 모르는데 (Respect) 다시 들여다보길 (Respect) One time (Respect) Two times (Respect) 쉽겐 말 안 할래 (Respect) 아직 잘 몰라도 (Respect) 언젠가 말할게 (Respect) One time (Respect) Oh, yeah Respect Respect Respect 마 니가 리스펙을 아나? 모르겠습니다 행님 나도 모르겠다 와 이리 어렵습니까 리스펙이? 존경, 뭐 다시 드려다 보라는 걸, 모르겠습니다 존중, 뭐? 존중, 존경 뭐 이게 리스펙이 아니겠나, 뭐 그런 생각을 막 하게 되는데 영어는 어렵습니다 그러니까

Re-re-re-respect Should I go or should I? Should I, should I go or should I stay? Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Just like you don’t care Just like you don’t care Ayo, SUGA (why?) nowadays this word floats around me "Respect” but these days I'm confused of its meaning They say it's said when someone keeps doing something (why?) I'm not really sure either, brother, do ya know? It's obviously superior than love Probably a concept that exists at the most superior rank Out of all the superiors Isn't that called respect, huh? (what I'm sayin') "Respect" means as it sounds, to literally look again and again Look again and again and you'll see faults But you still want to keep looking, despite of that You'll need that perfect belief towards someone (Ayy, ayy) So I can't get myself to easily say The weight and thickness of it is vague I hope someday I can confidently say it And mean it when I do, to you and to me, huh Please don't say respect easily, yeah Because even I am not sure, yeah Sometimes I'm scared of myself What if the weak me is found out (Respect) Everybody says it so easily (Respect) Though you don't know what it is (Respect) Please take a look again (Respect) One time (Respect) Two times (Respect) I won't say it easily (Respect) Even if I don't know well now (Respect) One day I'll say it (Respect) One time (Respect) Oh, yeah What is "respect"? (What, hyung?) I don't know, that's why I'm asking, you rascal (Oh, I see) What even is "respect"? Why is everyone saying it Honestly I can't understand Admiring someone Was it something really that easy? I still can't understand it To be honest, there's no need for admiration When there's not even respect Everyone except you knows people talk shit behind your back I honestly respect you You have no intention to respect me so just skip it Respect, I respect you Applause to that pal who speak ill while smiling (Respect, respect) Hope all the glory and prosperity seep into your life (Respect, respect) Hope the road in front of you is eternally blessed (Respect, respect) Money, honour, forward, forward (Respect, respect) Yes, I respect you, yeah (Respect) Everybody says it so easily (Respect) Though you don't know what it is (Respect) Please take a look again (Respect) One time (Respect) Two times (Respect) I won't say it easily (Respect) Even if I don't know well now (Respect) One say I'll say it (Respect) One time (Respect) Oh, yeah Respect Respect Respect "Aye, do ya know what respect is?" "I don't know, hyungnim," "I don't know either," "Why is respect this hard?" "'Respect', well, is to look again, I don't know," "'Respect', what?" "'Respect'!" "'Admiration'!" "I think those are respect, I'd come to think of that," "English is hard," "I know right?"
