The third season of Unpretty Rapstar has begun and it’s off to a fine start. Unlike the show’s first season, we have an interesting cast of mostly idols, wannabe idols, and former idols. Judging from the first episode, the contestants aren’t so much trying to prove that they belong — since most of them already have or had an established career in one way or another — but they’re trying to prove that they still belong. The show has made its stakes clear. This may very well be the last chance some of these contestants have to hold onto any shred of relevance. Let the claws come out.
And how do they choose to display their skills in the first episode’s mandatory one-take MV? Boast rap, of course. What else?
While you’re waiting for the English subtitles to come out for the show, get acquainted with this season’s contestants through the Unpretty Rapstar 3 theme song, “She’s Coming.” The lyrics have been very roughly translated into English for your enjoyment.
Euna Kim
Show you what’s real
Show you what’s ill
All my ladies, are you ready
Leggo
Jeon Soyeon
More than just Hyuna, my raps are one hunnit
It gets me a ton a, cred cause I’m young and
Adorable to boot, the new definition of cute
Y’all just squares and I’m hot out of Cube
No longer that rapper from Produce 101
From here on you’ll know me as the chosen one
Ha Ju Yun
My body’s hot, I’m beautiful and majestic like a tower
With a long neck and a v line, I bloom much like a flower
Women want to be like me, the boys wanna holler
I’m sexy, beauty, cuty; this is Joo Power
Janey
Try and copy my flow and you’d be just an imitation
I’m a new age of idol rap, the new generation
Baby-faced maknae rapper, but that ain’t really me
Gotta learn to crawl before you walk, up in this industry
Grace
A yo wassup homie, they call me Crazy Grace
Hahahaha your worst nightmare, but with the pretty face
You’re talking to a zombie, cause I’m already fricking dead
I be on that gin and tonic, shot through the fricking head
Nada
I’m an idol, yeah I’m an idol
My fans are all kids but hey, I don’t mind though
Even if they get shocked after hearing this
I can care less cause I’m too old to be nearing this
Can’t get fazed when all the scandals surround me
I say Wassup to all the haters around me
[Chorus]Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
We bout to change the game up, the girls are coming
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up now
We’ll make the rap scene get runned by unni
[Repeat Chorus]
Yuk Jidam
Yeah try and come and talk that smack, see how little it’ll affect me
When I come right back with a rap attack, slap a bee so hard like Jessi
Stop going back for the things you lack, come forth and learn to respect me
I’m back on the track with a brand new look and the boys all think I’m sexy
Miryo
Whether you’re a barefaced beauty or a plastic face, there’s really no right or wrong
Been around for years through the sweat and the tears, but been gone for far too long
I’ve written countless hits that topped the charts, you know that’s my style
In the end I’ll be a living legend, they’ll make shows about me, OnStyle
Euna Kim
Too long from the limelight
Move aside, that’s my spotlight
No sweat no gain, no time for kid’s play
Can’t stand the pain then don’t come over this way
Feeling my swag, feeling my flow
English or not, I always flow dope
I’m a bringer of The Light, respect it
Trendsetter of my class, go check it
[Chorus 2x]
Giant Pink
I roll in hardcore while y’all soft as cupcakes
Rap’s gone downhill, but I’m on the uptake
One Cypher, that’s all it takes for people to stop and turn their heads
Decipher, my lyrical flow, watch me ride the beat and knock them dead
Killing these cats whether in the studio or on the streets
The place gets turned up soon as I step up on the scene
I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me
Want to get out you have to get through me, cause I have the key
[Chorus 2x]
