Keyveatz's “A1ᄀ” is a confident declaration from a crew that refuses to be called just a group and plans to do things its own way. They joke about being mischievous, keep laughing while others read the room, and treat the hard road as worth the sweat. Cheeky and playful, the song sounds sure of itself and a little greedy for it all.

다들 눈치 볼 때 웃지 그냥 다 먹어버려 배불리Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): da·deul nun·chi bol ttae ut·jji geu·nyang da meo·geo·beo·ryeo bae·bul·li

- 배불리bae·bul·liuntil full
Word for word: Everyone others'-sense watch when smile just all eat-away full-ly
Why it doesn't translate word for word: '눈치 볼 때' literally comes out as 'when watch others'-sense' because '눈치' isn't a physical object but a social instinct, and the whole phrase is an idiom for 'being careful about others' reactions'. '먹어버려' literally reads 'eat-away', since the suffix '버리다' adds a sense of finality — so the natural translation becomes 'eat it all up' rather than a plain 'eat'.
우린 전부 다 원해 빨리 내놔Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): u·rin jeon·bu da won·hae ppal·li nae·nwa
Meaning: We want it all — hand it over quick
Words in this line- 우린u·rinwe
- 전부jeon·bueverything
- 다daall
- 원해won·haewant
- 빨리ppal·liquickly
- 내놔nae·nwahand it over
Word for word: We everything all want quickly hand-over
Why it doesn't translate word for word: The literal version reads like a pile of separate words because '전부 다' stacks two words meaning 'everything' and 'entirely' for emphasis, and '내놔' is a blunt command form of 'put it out/hand it over'. The natural translation turns that into one impatient-sounding line.
부들 부들 떨어서 넌 1키로나 뺐네Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): bu·deul bu·deul tteo·reo·seo neon il·ki·ro·na ppaen·ne
Meaning: You trembled so hard you lost a whole kilo.
Words in this line- 부들bu·deultrembling
- 부들bu·deultrembling
- 떨어서tteo·reo·seobecause (you) shook
- 넌neonyou
- 1키로나il·ki·ro·naa whole kilo
- 뺐네ppaen·nelost (weight)
Word for word: Trembling trembling, because (you) shook, you, even 1 kilo, dropped-you-know
Why it doesn't translate word for word: The literal line repeats the onomatopoeia 'budeul budeul' (trembling-trembling) and tacks on the particle 'na' after '1 kilo', which doesn't mean 'I' but stresses a surprising amount — 'as much as 1 kilo'. The ending '-ne' on '뺐네' conveys mild surprise, so the natural translation reads as an exclamation about an unexpected result.
근데 좀 다른 걸 보여 줄 차례Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): geun·de jom da·reun geol bo·yeo jul cha·rye
Meaning: But now it's time to show something a bit different.
