I’m a hood boyI’m a hood boy,
Mae wa hitoribocchiI used to be all alone,
Miageta yozora jimoto no hoshilooking up at the night sky, a star of my hometown,
Hoka to chigau ouchiliving in a home different from the rest.
Santa ni negatta mama ga hoshiiI prayed to Santa, wishing for my mom,
Ima mo yoko ni dachiand even now, my friends are right by my side.
Ryuuga no myouji naraba hoshiIf Ryuuga is the last name, it’s a star,
Yuma ga aruku machiin this town where Yuma walks.
De ima wa yobareru jimoto no hoshiAnd now, they call me the local star.
Body touch oomena b#tchThese b#tches are getting way too hands-on,
Trouble yoke fan no ko to say cheeseavoiding trouble, I just say cheese with the fans.
Paparazzi sarenai you atchiI look the other way so the paparazzi won’t catch me.
Futari de aruita uramichiWe walked down those back alleys together,
Naru rich 1+1getting rich, one plus one.
High heels mitaku na kotsukotsu michiGrinding steadily like the click of high heels,
Asaichi gurai pichipichifeeling fresh and full of life like the morning market.

Boroborowhen everything was falling apart.
Ima ki ni shinai noru taxi dai back seat yoko ni noru kimi wa shiranaiI don’t care anymore, paying the taxi fare in the back seat, the girl next to me doesn’t know.

Souma kara kitaI came straight out of Soma.
