-지 않아 repeated = never will

무릎 꿇지 않아 꺾이지 않아 난

Pattern: [stem] + ジ アナ (repeat)

Example: 포기하지 않아 물러나지도 않아 (never give up, never back down)

-아/어 봐 = try / come at me

몰아쳐봐 세게 묶어봐 더 세게

-아 봐 challenges the opponent: bring your best, I can take it.

Pattern: [stem] + ア/オ ボァ

Example: 막아봐 (try to stop me)
