NO PERMISSION

BABY RIØTS — NO PERMISSION [INTRO — RIØT 4, AIRY WHISPER, CLOSE-MIC] Knock, knock… Who's there? Nobody's in charge. [RIØT 2 — PLAYFUL, SPOKEN] Oops. Too late. [ALL FOUR — SHARP VOCAL HIT] BABY RIØTS! [VERSE 1 — RIØT 2, PLAYFUL MELODIC VOCAL] Lip gloss shining, boots on the floor, You made the rules, we made some more. Cute little smile with a dangerous twist, One look, one spark — now you get the gist. [RIØT 3 — LOW, RHYTHMIC, CONFIDENT] Talk that talk, better watch that tone, We don't need a crown to own this throne. One, two, three, let the whole room shake, We don't follow — we innovate. [PRE-CHORUS — RIØT 1, STRONG MELODY] You can try to hold us down, But we turn it upside down. 심장이 뛰어, hear that sound, Three, two, one — we're taking over now! [RIØT 4 — AIRY RISING VOCAL] Oh-oh, feel it coming alive… [CHORUS — RIØT 1 LEAD, ALL FOUR IN HARMONY] No permission, no permission, We don't need your recognition. Hands up high, we're on a mission, Baby, baby — no permission! No permission, no permission, Too much fire, no submission. Say our name, feel the ignition, BABY RIØTS — no permission! [POST-CHORUS — ALL FOUR, RHYTHMIC KOREAN MANTRA] 우린 우리야! 우린 우리야! (Urin uriya — We are who we are!) No, no, no — permission! No, no, no — we don't listen! 뻔뻔하게 — that's our vision! BABY RIØTS! No permission! [VERSE 2 — RIØT 3, SYNCOPATED RHYTHMIC VOCAL] Click-clack, flash-flash, cameras go wild, Bad little habit? We're nobody's child. Zero apologies, ten out of ten, You lock the door — we come back again. [RIØT 2 — TEASING, MELODIC RESPONSE] Who's that girl? That's me, surprise! Sugar on my lips, lightning in my eyes. [RIØT 4 — LIGHT, DISTINCTIVE VOCAL] 반짝반짝, watch me glow, Catch this wave? You already know. [PRE-CHORUS 2 — RIØT 1 + RIØT 4, BUILDING HARMONY] You can try to hold us down, But we turn it upside down. 심장이 뛰어, hear that sound, Three, two, one — we're taking over now! [CHORUS 2 — ALL FOUR, BIGGER VOCALS] No permission, no permission, We don't need your recognition. Hands up high, we're on a mission, Baby, baby — no permission! No permission, no permission, Too much fire, no submission. Say our name, feel the ignition, BABY RIØTS — no permission! [MANTRA BREAK — ALL FOUR, POWERFUL CHANT] 우린 멈추지 않아! 우린 멈추지 않아! (Urin meomchuji ana — We never stop!) 겁낼 것 없어! 겁낼 것 없어! (Geomnael geot eopseo — Nothing to fear!) 우린 우리야! 우린 우리야! (We are who we are!) [RIØT 3 — LOW, SPOKEN, CHALLENGING] 누가 우릴 막아? (Who can stop us?) [ALL FOUR — EXPLOSIVE RESPONSE] 아무도 없어! 아무도 없어! (Amudo eopseo — Nobody! Nobody!) [BRIDGE — RIØT 4, SOFT AND ETHEREAL] What if I was born to shine? What if your rules aren't mine? [RIØT 1 — EMOTIONAL, RISING] No more waiting in the line, This is our life, this is our time! [RIØT 3 — SPOKEN, LOW AND DRY] Permission denied. [RIØT 2 — PLAYFUL WHISPER] By who? [ALL FOUR — EXPLOSIVE HIT] BY NOBODY! [DANCE BREAK — INSTRUMENTAL, HEAVY BASS, VOCAL CHOPS] Hey! Hey! 가자! 가자! Hey! Hey! BABY RIØTS! [FINAL CHORUS — ALL FOUR, LAYERED HARMONIES, AD-LIBS] No permission, no permission, We don't need your recognition. Hands up high, we're on a mission, Baby, baby — no permission! No permission, no permission, Too much fire, no submission. Say our name, feel the ignition, BABY RIØTS — no permission! [RIØT 1 + RIØT 2 — AD-LIBS] No permission! (No permission!) Hear us coming! (Hear us coming!) [ALL FOUR — FINAL KOREAN MANTRA, CHANTING] 우린 우리야! 우린 멈추지 않아! 겁낼 것 없어! 아무도 없어! [OUTRO — RIØT 4, WHISPER] Knock, knock… [RIØT 3 — SPOKEN, SMIRKING] Still nobody's in charge.
