[CL "SPICY" 가사]
[Intro: John Malkovich]
Excuse me
Do you have that sauce that is spicy?
Made in Korea
[Refrain: John Malkovich]
Energy, power, chemistry
Energy, power, chemistry
(Energy, power, chemistry)
[Verse 1: CL]
(매-매-매-매-매)
나는 널 잘 몰라 바로 누슈?
Excuse me, excuse you
Top notch 성적은 우수, queen of this 쉿
한 수 넘어 두 수, 투수 던져 내 꿈
Seoul City, home run, 날카로운 make up
무드는 온전, 태도는 차갑게 마음은 핫 온천
CL, this the alpha, 본전
[Pre-Chorus: CL, John Malkovich]
논적 없이 달려왔지 근데 이제 시작
끝이라고 생각했다면 빙산의 일각
Still 확실한 taste 잃지 않는 미각
날 평가하기 전에 미리 바꿔놔 니 시간
시간 it's about the time we getting cherry (Energy, power, chemistry)
Made in Korea, 전세계로 hard carry
당도? Very, motto? 재미 내게 중요한건 (Energy, power, chemistry)
Energy, power, chemistry
[Chorus: CL]
She got the sauce and it's spicy
You looking at the most fly Asians
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Who got the sauce?)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
She got the sauce and it's spicy
You looking at the most fly Asians (Asians)
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Spicy)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
[Verse 2: CL]
Where we from, them Koreans getting up higher
Making everything spice, now put the fliers
We can never be stopped, you getting tired
우린 올라가지만 you gone retire (매-매-매-매-매)
매운 맛으로 골라
Chicken soup, rice noodle, style Korean
어디서 왔는지 물어
Spice too hot, we from South Korea
[Chorus: CL, John Malkovich]
She got the sauce and it's spicy (Who got the sauce?)
You looking at the most fly Asians (Most fly Asians)
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Who got the sauce?)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
She got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry; Ooh yeah)
You looking at the most fly Asians
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
[Verse 3: CL]
상식 밖인 소리들과 가식
박힌 고정관들 뚫어 건 내 반칙
감히 내 걱정을 하다니 이젠 웃기지도 않지
간식조차 없는 판치는 니들 잔치
[Bridge: CL]
Spice on 'em
(C-CL this the alpha)
(C-CL this the alpha)
Must spice on 'em (Must spice on 'em)
(C-CL this the alpha)
Spice (Spice)
(C-CL this the alpha-pha)
[Refrain: John Malkovich, CL]
Energy, power, chemistry
Energy, power, chemistry
(매-매-매-매-매)
[Chorus: CL, John Malkovich]
She got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry)
You looking at the most fly Asians
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
She got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry)
You looking at the most fly Asians
You got the sauce and it's spicy (Energy, power, chemistry)
You rocking with the most fly Asians
SPICY was written by Holly & CL & sokodomo (소코도모) & Bonique & Fabian Mazur & Baauer.
SPICY was produced by Baauer.
It’s a song that celebrates just being yourself. For me, being Korean, being Asian. I’m celebrating all that, and that attitude. Just being myself.
When I was making “Spicy,” for some reason I just sent it to him and I just had the first verse, and he heard that and sent me a five-minute monologue, and I chopped that up and made that intro. He just freestyled it and sent me an iPhone voice note, and that’s how it ended up being in the song.
