The revolution will not be televised
The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is here
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, I’m the tagger
Go on and hide carefully because I might see you
I’m the new boiler that was put in your father’s home1
Yes, this is a spoiler, I’m so fly, scary, I’m a F killer2
A gorilla who steals the hearts of women
Bang bang bang, I make money with my teeth
With just one of my songs, you can leave your company
I’m a swindler in this game
You’re a con artists because you’ll never know what fame is
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, I’m the tagger
If time is money then I’m very poor
I’m like Hong Kil Dong all year, 365 days3
My phone keeps crying like a newborn baby
My phone keeps barking like the next-door dog
Bow wow wow yeppie-yo-yeppie-ye
They call me cocky, stuck-up, thick-faced
I’m so fresh so clean, I compete with the laundromat
And my flow so sick, it goes to the intensive care unit, what
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, I’m the tagger
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, swag check, mic check
One, two, three, four, I’m like pacman who eats up MCs
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, swag check, mic check
One, two, three, four, this is the gospel, amen
Ay you want some, you want some more It’s not enough
(Becoming ordinary is my only not-allowed rule)
Ay give me some, give some more alright y’all
(Dull guys imitating me is not allowed)
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, I’m the tagger
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, I’m the tagger
This is my Coup D’e Tat
A boomerang going around from mouth to mouth
Hands up get high
The song is starting, the song is over
1This is a line from a famous commercial in Korea. GD is referring himself as a boiler because he’s so “hot.”
2Word play using the word “fly.” He says he’s so fly, as in the slang, but also refers to F-Killer, which is a bug spray.
3 Hong Kil Dong is the Korean Robin Hood and he uses the reference to portray how busy he is (taking the previous line of saying he would be poor if time was money, since he has no time and is a very busy person) because there is a saying that Hong Kil Dong would go from the west sea to the east sea in a very short time.

Hello!! Thank you for this translation, I’m learning Korean~ I like using songs to learn new vocabulary. Your translation of this song seems more accurate than the other that I have seen.
This part 넌 회사에서 손을 털어 of the translation, I don’t know if is an expression or not, but you translated as “you can leave your company” and I have seen “you can get robbed at the company”~ even trying to distingguish the most accurate one, I find it hard since the two seem to be very different interpretations. Can you explain it to me?
I hope you can help me, thanks again for the translation.

Hello! Great question and it’s awesome that you’re learning Korean 🙂
So “손 털어” literally means to “brush off the hands,” which means to quit something or leave some place. So when someone says “나 손 털었어,” they mean “I quit,” or “I give up.” What GD is saying here, is that if he releases just one song, it’ll be so popular and make so much money that it’ll drive others out of business, hence, telling them to just leave their companies. Hope this helps!!
