뭐가 어려워 = what's hard?

좋아 뭐가 어려워 저질러봐

A rhetorical question plus the imperative 저질러봐 brushes hesitation aside.

Pattern: [noun]가 뭐가 어려워

Example: 이게 뭐가 어려워 (what's hard about this?)

-ㄹ = (attributive, upcoming)

떨린 네 맘에 날 가득 채울

-ㄹ makes the bomb a promise: the one about to fill you up with me.

Pattern: [stem] + (ヨ)ル + [noun]

Example: 너를 지킬 사람 (the one who'll protect you)

-게 + 더 = more ~ly

당당하게 네게 더 다가가
