WE GO UP Lyrics [Korean]


[Intro]
Yeah
Uh-huh
Yeah, this ain't a game and you know we don't play
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]
You ain't never seen the typa, show we 'boutta show ya
You ain't never heard this typa flow, we crashing on ya
Tidal wave, tidal wave, it's about to go
You will never dominate, domino when I see you fall
Know I pop better get back, hand in my pocket, watch the rocket blow
우리 걱정은 딱히 넣어둬 빨리, look at me on a roll
Let bygones be bygones, I ain't never had no problems
That high road, we gon' walk over, 'cause icons be icons

[Pre-Chorus]
What you gon', what you gon', what you gon' do? (Yeah)
Lookin' good, lookin' fly, lookin' brand new
Unbelievable, 어림없거든
어이없거든 (You lovе it, love it)
When we pull up, know it's all on sitе
B-A-B-Y-M-O-N, we up, up, up

[Chorus]
We go up like, woah, 우린 killas, killas
We go up like, woah, 우린 villains, villains
Up high for me, baby, high for me, baby, woah
Up like, woah, can you feel us? Feel us?
We go up like, woah, 우린 killas, killas
We go up like, woah, 우린 villains, villains
Up high for me, baby, high for me, baby, woah
This is how we do it, we go, woah, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
Copy, copy, copy, copy, 'til the error pop up
Copy, copy, wanna be me but you're never gonna
They all eatin' my leftovers, I left over what's left over
Like ring, ring, come and get closer, we take over, that's game over
Nobody do it like this, nobody, nobody do it like this, uh
You're never catching me slip, I switch it on with a flick of the wrist
Let bygones be bygones, I ain't never had no problems
That high road, we gon' walk over 'cause icons be icons

[Pre-Chorus]
What you gon', what you gon', what you gon' do? (Yeah)
Lookin' good, lookin' fly, lookin' brand new

We go up like, woah, 우린 killas, killas
We go up like, woah, 우린 villains, villains
Up high for me, baby, high for me, baby, woah
Up like, woah, can you feel us? Feel us?
We go up like, woah, 우린 killas, killas
We go up like, woah, 우린 villains, villains
Up high for me, baby, high for me, baby, woah
This is how we do it, we go, woah, oh, oh, oh

I'll never stop, don't forget we gon' make history

WE GO UP Song Meaning (BABYMONSTER)

From its opening brass hits to the charging tempo and assertive rap flows, "WE GO UP" plants its flag: this is a song about ascent, defiance, and staking claim. The lyrics sketch a narrative of bold self-assertion, where the speaker is unafraid, unapologetic, and determined to rise—both in status and in spirit.

1. Thematic Core: Rising, Overcoming, Game-Changing

The recurring hook “We go up” works on multiple emotional levels. On the surface, it’s a victory cry: “up” meaning elevated, victorious, dominant. Verses like “Tidal wave, tidal wave, it’s about to go / You will never dominate” conjure imagery of overwhelming force. There’s also a tension between confrontation and control: the act of “crashing on ya” or “domino when I see you fall” suggests power over others, but the bridge offers internal stakes: “Clock is ticking, ticking, buckle up... we gon’ make history.” The song balances external domination with internal urgency.

The lyric “Let bygones be bygones, I ain't never had no problems / That high road, we gon' walk over, ’cause icons be icons” signals maturity and resolve. Rather than engaging in petty feuds, the “high road” is a metaphorical pathway for the group to rise above distractions. The repeated motifs of “killas” and “villains” play with duality: they’re dangerous, rebellious, even misunderstood, but they own that identity.

Musically and lyrically, "WE GO UP" embodies the archetype of the ambitious underdog whose ambition becomes prophecy.

2. Context and Real-Life Backdrop

Publicly, BABYMONSTER and their label, YG Entertainment, describe "WE GO UP" as a powerful hip-hop title track meant to herald their leap into a new era. The label has characterized the song as one that will propel BABYMONSTER into the spotlight, underlining the desire for broader recognition. Media coverage labels it intense and bold, emphasizing that this release is meant to mark a fresh chapter in their rising trajectory.

The timing is significant. Their second mini-album, "We Go Up", was delayed and repositioned for an October 10 release, giving the group time to refine the rollout. Also, member Rami was temporarily sidelined due to health reasons and did not take part in this album’s recording. That context makes "WE GO UP" more than a brag—understanding that they create bold, confident music even through adversity adds weight to its defiance.

This release arrives following a period of intense momentum. Their first full studio album, Drip, came in late 2024, while earlier works had already established a strong buzz. In many ways, "WE GO UP" serves as a statement of identity—young, powerful, and poised for broader recognition.

3. Emotional Resonance and Audience Connection

For listeners, "WE GO UP" can function as an anthem of self-elevation—especially resonant for those pushing through their own struggles. The repeated urging “can you feel us?” draws you into that momentum: it’s insistent, pulling you along. The lyrics’ swagger may read as boastful, but in K-Pop’s performative space, they also act as affirmations: louder declarations to drown out doubt.

The structural arc—from aggressive verses to poised bridges to emphatic choruses—mirrors that journey: starting in confrontation, pausing to reflect, then unleashing strength. The lines “우린 보란듯이 … game changer” in the bridge crystallize this: they aren’t just climbing—they intend to shift the landscape itself.

4. Contribution to BABYMONSTER’s Artistic Arc

"WE GO UP" anchors the new We Go Up era as a turning point. It doesn’t just reaffirm previous strengths (hard rap, bold production) but asserts growth. Thematically, it shifts from proving they can exist to proving they can dominate. The stakes are higher, the tone more mature.

Given that Rami is absent here, the song also signals that the group’s identity doesn’t rest on any one member—but on a shared drive. Going forward, "WE GO UP" will likely stand as a keystone piece in how fans perceive BABYMONSTER: not as rookies, but as contenders.

In sum, "WE GO UP" is more than a powerful track—it’s a vocal launch. It captures youthful ambition, resilience, and the hunger to transcend limits. Even as some lines lean on bravado, their conviction gives them weight. For fans and newcomers alike, the song offers a window into what BABYMONSTER wants to become—and how they mean to make their ascent unforgettable.
