Music & Lyrics by Lexie Liu

Not a swimming pool, It’s an ocean
Dive in that cash, like l’m chosen
That my 24 karat, got you frozen ya?

活在不一样世界又怎样
(I’m living in a different world, so what?)

He’ll be on the surface,
Lur, lurkin’
Overheated up
That gon’ make me nervous

水里呼吸着 扇动不属于我的翅膀
(Breathing underwater, I flap my wings that don’t belong to me)

Lucifer 别慌这不是我的名字呢
(They think I’m evil, but Lucifer is not my name)

Now he can start the fishing, buy me another round
Diamonds on me like I’m fresh outta water
A Mariner reelin’ reelin’ me in with dat thin line

Fly underwater
I don’t need no manner
绝不会干涸的
(The ocean will never dry up)
我为海洋染色
(I dye it to a darker shade of blue everywhere I go )
Fly underwater
I don’t need no manner
绝不会干涸的
(The ocean will never dry up)
我为海洋染色
(I dye it to a darker shade of blue everywhere I go )

Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer
I fly like a Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer

Glitter on my skin I go shiner
got a flight to catch tomorrow back to China
我的行踪 难以捉摸在哪
(Always changing locations, they can never catch me)
but when I bust it open boy you better swim
那么危险怎么还要追
(You know this is dangerous, but why are you still chasing?)
但我没有时间可以浪费
(I ain’t got no time to waste)
我从未试过在陆地上飞起来
(Never tried to fly above the surface)
I be ridin’on a wave drippin’ water tonight

Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer
I fly like a Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer

Devilfish…

Fly underwater
I don’t need no manner
绝不会干涸的
(The ocean will never dry up)
我为海洋染色
(I dye it to a darker shade of blue everywhere I go )
Fly underwater
I don’t need no manner
绝不会干涸的
(The ocean will never dry up)
我为海洋染色
(I dye it to a darker shade of blue everywhere I go )

Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer
I fly like a Manta
I fly in water, lil Manta
Devilfish Manta
Call on me, I don’t need no romancer

For new fans from the K/DA release, if you are wondering why it seems she has not a lot of subscribers, it is because she is from mainland China and the censorship for some internet searches can be strong, so the social medias are different. She has more fans in China than outside of China :) Do not worry, she has many on Weibo! Over 4 million there! Happy that she is gaining international fans now too!

Edit: Some people seem to be misinterpreting my meaning, so I will try to explain. First, I am Chinese and have lived in mainland before. I also did not expect anyone to see this comment and so I did not elaborate on my meaning >.< The only thing I mean by saying censorship is that due to having limited Youtube access in mainland, it means that mainland Chinese fans cannot subscribe to her Youtube. Instead, they will follow to her Weibo, which is part of the reason that she has more fans there than in foreign countries. That is the only thing that I mean with saying 'censorship'. It should not carry a negative meaning! All countries have censorship, this form just means that her Youtube will not have mainland Chinese fans as much. I just wanted to tell people that she has more fans in China than outside of there so that international fans do not feel like she has no fans :)

[huihu]

She is a Chinese rapper, not a Kpop star

[WeiLiang-by]

好難想像 亞洲居然會有這種風格出現 太棒了吧 個人感覺很有蕾哈娜的FU 覺得華語樂壇越來越多種風格 很棒

[adriansilaghi]

Came from K/DA. Stayed for .... everything???? The aesthetics, the music, the vibes, I'm- 😍😍😍

[Subo-qc]

Hugely underrated artist. She rhymes Chinese and English so effortlessly with such natural flow.

[rouman]

She is so underrated in the Western Music circle, her flow is so fluent as she didn't even grew up in the western country. She grew up in China.

[simoart]

Fun fact to the kpop fans: She was once scouted by YG himself when she was in KPOP STAR.

[alpha_c]

Nobody manifests futuristic theme better than Lexie. The rhythm the beat the fashion the husky voice. Even the face gives advantage

[nataliedeleon]

the way she’s transitioning from english to chinese vice versa is so smooth that you won’t even notice. *So much love and support for this singer, I STAN* 😭

[qiyu]

Lexie is a new young(born in 1998) talented artist, she write all her songs and can sing and rap. She deserves more recognition.

[s.danial]

Fyi, she once was scouted by YG himself but luckily she rejected the offer because she knew how dirty YG is .She's the realest artist . She left 88rising and used all her budget to make this mv. This mv was her only chance to rise back and luckily, she did, plus the help from LOL she gained quite good recognition and I'm hoping she'll keep going big. She only have a person that's helping her right now

[prod_harui]

Who's here after KDA revealing Seraphine!
I knew the voice was familiar. As soon as she sang chinese, i woke.

[francescescrignieto]

So seraphine's phrase "I would like to fly through the ocean like a manta" is a reference from this song, nice

[meesenn]

OMG her face is so unique. Pretty, sexy, and swag at the same time.

[m_nus]

she recently called her kind of music submarine disco and I can’t get it out of my head, it fits so perfectly

[meh]

Glad she got more recognition after KDA.

[haham]

me in with that thin line」。让人想到人鱼公主的故事里的人鱼上岸，承受了牺牲和痛苦去追求王子。但Manta被人类抓住之后并没有上钩，还是一条自由自在的水底王者，保有真我，自由飞翔。以前看了那么多说唱，以为国内rapper英文词汇量<=10，唱来唱去都是什么homie, hater之类生硬嫁接， is a talented young

[toeknee]

She has the potential to push Chinese pop to an international level. Amazing 👀

[jeon_choso]

Is it a flex that I knew Lexie Liu before the collab with K/DA? But anyways, this has been 4 years ago(almost 5yrs)!!! I'm so happy at that time when many people discovered how great she is♡_♡

[ThingstoKnow]

My Chinese student sang this song today since we finished early in our class and she recommended me to listen to it and it was "WOW". I am trying to memorize this song since I promised my student to sing it with her next time and I've been listening to it for the nth time now.I think this will gonna be one of my favorite song.🧡💛💚
