あーもう全部うざくてUgh, everything’s just so frustrating,

One more time get it rightI’ve got to get it right one more time.
今自分にBetしてるFocus on meI’m betting on myself right now, so keep your focus on me.
あーもう積み重ねるこのLegacyI’m building up this legacy, piece by piece.
心配いらないThere’s no need for you to worry.
全部ひっくり返すまでやめらんないよI won’t stop until I’ve turned the whole world upside down.
