Motownphilly's back again
Motownphilly가 돌아왔어
Doin' a little east coast swing
east coast swing을 하려고
Boyz II Men going off
Boyz II Men은 시작한거야
Not too hard, not too soft
너무 딱딱하지도, 너무 부드럽지도 않게
It's long overdue but now
너무 오래걸렸지만 어쨌든 시작했어
Philly is slammin'
우리들(필라델피아 출신)은 멋져
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD같은
The east coast family
동부 해안(east coast) 패밀리말야
Never skipped a beat (na) while cooling on South street
남부에서 인기를 얻는동안 비트를 건너뛰는 법이 없었지
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
끝내주는 검은 벤츠와 수 많은 친구들
And all the Philly steaks you could eat
너희들이 맛있게 즐길만한 것들이 있어
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
학창시절엔 매일매일 이런 날을 꿈꾸었었지
Could it really happen or do dreams to fade away
정말로 가능할까 아님 꿈을 접어야할까
Then we started singing and they said it sounded smooth
우린 노래하기 시작했고 사람들은 멋진 음악이라고 말했지
So we started a group and here we are
그래서 그룹을 만들고 이렇게 시작한거야
Kickin' it just for you
널 신나게 하기 위해서
Motownphilly's back again
우리가 돌아왔어
Doin' a little east coast swing
신나는 음악을 하려고
Boyz II Men going off
Boyz II Men은 시작했어
Not too hard, not too soft
너무 딱딱하지도, 너무 부드럽지도 않게
Rap 1
The spotlight is on us now
지금은 스포트라이트를 받고 있어
Watch us do this
우리 멋지지?
Live and direct from Philly town
신선한 모습으로 필라델피아에서 왔고
Rap and hype and we can get down
비평과 과대광고에 맞서고 있지
We are ready to roll
우리는 전진할 준비가 됐어
So now the world will know that we were
이젠 온 세상에 우리 존재를 알리겠어
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
학창시절엔 매일매일 이런 날을 꿈꾸었었지
Could it really happen or do dreams to fade away
정말로 가능할까 아님 꿈을 접어야할까
Then we started singing and they said it sounded smooth
우린 노래하기 시작했고 사람들은 멋진 음악이라고 말했지
So we started a group and here we are
그래서 그룹을 만들고 이렇게 시작한거야
Kickin' it just for you
널 신나게 하기 위해서
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast swing
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
Rap 2
Motownphilly's back again
Doin' a little east coast swing
Boyz II Men going off
Not too hard, not too soft
