Is ADP dissing the international K-pop fans with their prerelease?

So ADP released their prerelease TALK (produced by Teddy) earlier today. It’s a mostly rap track with a lot of English lyrics, and when I read through the lyrics, it really came across as a diss track or a message directed at their haters.

This is the chorus:

All they do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
All they do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
All I hear is blah, blah, blah (Yeah)
Blah, blah, blah

These are the verses:

[Tarzan]

Talkin’ inside of their mouth
They stand on the couch, so please stop movin’ your lips
Talkin’ all the time, write all you want, your lovers, woah
They already shakin’ those hips (Uh-huh)
Make up new rumors about me, y’all just stay jealous, delulu that’s your talent (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I don’t respond to no call, I’m makin’ the call
Lil’ bro, stop bugging my clique

[Annie]

Yeah, you heard him, don’t mess with the clique
Nine outta ten, they be talking that
ADP walk ’em down, that’s our style
All in your face, yeah, you don’t like that (Haha)
Running your big mouth since day one
Got my day ones running you down all day (Uh-huh)
Can’t say it to our faces, why they different?
Take your hands off the phone (Uh-huh)

[Bailey]

The audacity, comin’ back to me naturally
I’ma blame it on gravity
Talk with it, I’m on top with it
Locked in it, shot clock, pop-pop-pop
And I’m not finished
Speed up, quicker trigger
On the clicker, let ’em bicker
Talkin’ slicker, hear ’em whisper
Make ’em sicker, uh
Pavin’ the way, I say it in vain
Respect and the reign
Is under the name

[Woochan]

I’ll show and prove to you
No need for a long talk (Yeah)
Talk all you want, you got a big mouth
Those who know will recognize the real deal
Silence, I’ll be going my way
My value rising like fire
Complaining is a luxury to me
Click, there you go looking for attention again
It’s all profit to me, the same every day, just watch me

If you listen to the song and read through the lyrics, unlike their previous pre-releases, this doesn’t really sound like the kind of commercial track that’s designed to be a chart-topper or appeal to the widest possible audience. It feels more like they’re using the pre-release to establish an attitude or send a message. As you guys know, ADP isn’t nearly as accepted internationally as they are in Korea, so the fact that they chose to release a track like this makes me wonder if they’re specifically speaking to their international detractors.

I’m curious whether you guys interpreted it the same way.
