Nana’s Verse
All you kids pretending you have money, go away
I ain’t got time, I go hard and slay
I’m fiercer than I look, call me ssenunni
This cold way of talking kind of suits me actuallyMy size is different to fit in the Kpop category
Some think it was easy to reach my position
I don’t care what you think because I’m cool
I just do what I want, I’m special and differentI may be small but I play it well
Shine brighter, fly higher than anyone else
Say I don’t stunt, shit, you gotta be kidding me
Come and take a look, I’m the realest bitch you’ll ever see
Nana’s Solo “보석 (Precious Stone)”
Yeah
Nana on da track
You ready?
Uh, let’s go!Aye, errbody wondering who this chick is
Pay attention, this’ll come back on you like a pop quiz
They told me I’m blowing up but I wanna be bigger
I shine the brightest on the beat, you can’t compete with meIt’s not a compliment when you doubt my success in a polite way
Don’t feed me sugar coated words, I want action
Look like a model but I bang-bang like a dragon
Be wary or I’ll chew you up with my sharp teethI don’t see competition, most these others just copycats
Instead of the chosen path I go differently
I’m no Yoon Mirae, I am not Nicki
I’m the queen of the future so show your respect, boyThe gem of this place is me, a precious stone hidden within the darkness
You’ve only been looking for what shines, I’ll light this place up
Pressure that I can’t remove, I was made under the weight of mountains
Been sharpening myself without rest to get all where I amA dream inside me, I’m confident I’ll see it through
The spotlight that’ll shine on me will light my way
I won’t be shaken, I trust myself
A little rough around the edges, but I’m still a diamond

Competition events
Self-introduction cypher
An ice-breaker where all contestants and the host do a rap for their self-introduction, using the same beat. The rappers are allowed to initiate or respond to pre-game diss battles.
One-take video mission
The contestants must create a music video for an original rap song. The video is mostly filmed in one unedited take, and the rappers must also write and arrange the song. After the filming of the music video for the song is complete, the rappers vote for who did the best and worst, in a fully disclosed process. The winner of the mission receives an advantage for the next challenge or the next part of the track missions. Whoever is voted last by their fellow rappers receives a penalty of being excluded from the next mission, or from the song that was produced through the one-take mission.
