Jennie takes over from there with (each lyric is translated) “Click-Clack, badda bing badda booom. All eyes on me when I bust down the door without even trying. All the guys get nosebleeds like pangpangpang. Pangpang, parapara, pangpangpang. Now everybody cheers for me, clink clink clink. Hands up! Holding a bottle full o' Henny. The girl you've been hearing about, that's me, Jennie”
Lisa’s next verse comes like a storm, “Now gotta step on it, what else can I do? I'm young and fearless, man. Middle finger up, F-U pay me. 90's baby, I pump up the jam. Step on it, step on it, oppa-ya lambo. Today yours and mine, our youth's a gamble. Don't dare to stop me, if anyone gets in my way. I'ma go, brrrr, Rambo”
2. DDU-DU-DDU-DU
DDU-DU-DDU-DU is a massive hit by BLACKPINK that still remains iconic with its infectious beats. In particular, just like BOOMBAYAH, this 2018 song also showcased Jennie’s fast rapping skills.
The trap-influenced track’s rap lyrics by Lisa include, “When we want, we'll steal outright (Uh). Whatever you do, it’s like cutting water with a knife (Uh). Our hands are full with a fat check. If you're curious, fact check. Expectations higher just like fish in the water. I'm a little toxic. You've fallen for me, I'm Foxy”
Jennie boasts her skills with, “The path I walk now, BLACKPINK 4 way intersection. North, South, East, West, all ways run it. All of your bucket list, I bought it. Pulling you and pushing you far away. I do it however I want because I'm a bad girl. Whether you like me or hate me or whatever anyone says. When the bass drop, it's another banger.”
3. AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST
In this superhit BLACKPINK song, Lisa shows off her skills with rap in English, “Uh, I'ma fall in love, baby. You gon' finna catch me, uh. Give you all of this, baby. Call me pretty and nasty. 'Cause we gonna get it, my love. You can bet it on black. We gon' double the stack on them, woo. I be the Bonnie and you be my Clyde. We ride or die, Xs and Os”.
4. WHISTLE
BLACKPINK’s debut track WHISTLE exhibits Jennie’s extensive grasp on rapping with lyrics like (translated) “All men check me out every day. They all think they can have me. I don't ask for much, just your heart (Uh). Take your heart out and show it to me. Confidently, sometimes chic, chic. So hot, so hot, make me nervous (Uh). Softly call out to me. Like a whistle lingering in my ear”
5. HOW YOU LIKE THAT
BLACKPINK’s chart-topper HOW YOU LIKE THAT is known for Lisa’s iconic rap lyrics, “Your girl needs it all and that's a hundred. 10 out of 10, I want what's mine. Karma come and get some. I feel bad, but there's nothing I can do. What's up? I'm right back. Trigger the cock back. Plain Jane get hijacked, don't like me? Then tell me, how you like that, like that?”
6. Kill This Love
In this 2019 hit Kill This Love, BLACKPINK maknae Lisa further solidified her status as an iconic K-pop rapper with (translated), “Here I come kick in the door, uh. Give me the strongest one, uh. So obvious, that love, love. Give me more, give me some more…”
7. Lovesick Girls
Released in 2020, Lovesick Girls features slick English rap lines by the unbeatable Jennie and Lisa, “No love letters, no x and o’s. No love never, my exes know. No diamond rings, that set in stone. To the left, better left alone. Didn’t wanna be a princess, I’m priceless. A prince not even on my list. Love is a drug that I quit. No doctor could help when I’m lovesick”
8. Pink Venom
This 2022 hit Pink Venom brought back the iconic Lisa and Jennie duo through hit rap lyrics like “Kick in the door, waving the coco. Popcorn’s ready, grab it while you can” and “This the life of a vandal, masked up and I'm still in Celine. Designer crimes or it wouldn't be me”

With lyrics like “Nah, you don't wanna be on my bad side, that's right, I'm slidin' through.
