Sakanade shitemite ore no kimochiTry rubbing my feelings the wrong way
Sakana mitai ni oyogu kono inochiThis life of mine’s swimming just like a fish
Hadaka no mama de ii ore wa hitoriI’m fine staying naked, I’m all alone
Furatsuite detekita oborozukiThe hazy moon showed up as I stumbled out
Hiphop music de ikigaru boysBoys acting tough with their hip-hop tracks
Tsuite koreru nara douzo otegaru niIf you can keep up, please, be my guest
Ikiru ka shinu ka no kono oobakuchiThis life-or-death, high-stakes gamble,
Dakedo ki nuite akumade okiraku niBut keep your guard down and stay easygoing
Orera free na yarikata moukemakuriWe’re raking it in, doing things our own way
Furi na joukyou de odorimakuriDancing our hearts out when the odds are against us
Moto ni modori sono kurikaeshiBack to the start, and then we repeat it
Toberu toko made tonde hiraku parachuteFlying as far as I can ’til I open the parachute
Drug or medicine nashi ja nakimushiThey’re nothing but crybabies without drugs or meds
Soitsura no haiteru kotoba muzakininThe words they’re spitting are so irresponsible
Dakara yarunda yo mitoke yo tekijinThat’s why I’m doing this, so watch me, enemy camp
Ore no ikiru hibi hotondo ga meishiinMost of the days I’m alive feel like movie scenes
Yoishiretai natsuA summer I wanna get drunk on
Nannimo nai jinsei nanteA life that’s got absolutely nothing,
Hikari wo tomoshitemoEven if I light a flame,
Kyou ga kuraku naru nanteTo think that today’s still gonna turn dark
Nounamiso furu kaiten de kako to mirai nanteWith my brain in full rotation, the past and the future
Wakannee oretachi wa saki eDon’t make any sense, we’re just pushing forward
Oh oh uta wo kaiteiru dake na noOh oh, I’m just out here writing songs
Nanimokamo ga hantappa datta ano koro kara imaFrom those half-baked days back then to right now
Yoi koto dake ja nai ga hitasuraIt’s not all good things, but I’m just single-mindedly
Repeat and repeat the beatsRepeating and repeating the beats
Kiri ga nai hodo thinkin boutThinking about it ’til there’s no end in sight
Ririkku wo kakitsuzuketeiru imiThe meaning behind why I keep writing these lyrics
Akirameru koto ga dekizu ni hashiritsuzuketeru imiThe reason I keep running without ever giving up
I believe I’m the chosen oneI believe I’m the chosen one
Touzen nagara shosen wa ore mo ningenNaturally, after all, I’m only human too
Dakara chousen aru nomiSo there’s nothing left but the challenge
Fukan shite mireba fuan to iu na noLooking from above, it’s just called anxiety
Nukarumi kara nukerarezu ni iruI’m stuck in the mud and I can’t break free
Yumemiteta sekai de akumu ni bakariIn the world I dreamed of, I’m constantly
Unasarete wa unadareteruTossing from nightmares and hanging my head
Feel afraid under pressureFeel afraid under pressure
Ki nuitara makeruIf I let my guard down, I’ll lose
Hi no me abiru made no patienceHaving the patience ’til I see the light of day
Kantan dakedo nankanIt’s simple, but it’s a hell of a hurdle
Anbaransu na rabirinsuAn unbalanced labyrinth
Sanzan na toki sasaete kureruSupporting me when times are terrible
Love from all my familysLove from all my family
Tsune ni koeteiku too many problemsAlways overcoming way too many problems
Ashita ga kuru ka nante daremo wakaranai shiNobody knows if tomorrow’s even coming
Like adidasLike Adidas
Impossible is nothingImpossible is nothing
Ayumi tomenai ashiFeet that won’t stop walking
Kieru koto no nai passionA passion that’s never gonna fade away
Yoishiretai natsuA summer I wanna get drunk on
Nannimo nai jinsei nanteA life that’s got absolutely nothing,
Hikari wo tomoshitemoEven if I light a flame
Kyou ga kuraku naru nanteTo think that today’s still gonna turn dark
Nounamiso furu kaiten de kako to mirai nanteWith my brain in full rotation, the past and the future
Wakannee oretachi wa saki eDon’t make any sense, we’re just pushing forward
Oh oh uta wo kaiteiru dake na noOh oh, I’m just out here writing songs
Aisou wo furimaki tanin no me bakari oiPlaying nice and just chasing the eyes of others
Kabusaru nayami no ura ni kiyesou niFeeling like I’ll vanish behind these heavy worries
Mata hi wo tsukeru sukecchi no gomiLighting another fire to the sketch’s trash
Aza ga masu goto ni hetta hinokiThe cypress dwindled as the bruises multiplied
Dreaming ukeireru koto ga kowai naI’m scared of accepting these dreams
Believing munashisa de hara ippai ni naruBelieving just leaves my stomach full of emptiness
Suujikan go ni wa mizu no awaIn a few hours, it’ll all just be bubbles
Oshite wa hiku nami no you ni nayamuI’m worrying like the waves that push and pull
Kyou mo ashita mo meisou netsuryou ni kaeru genjouLost today and tomorrow too, turning the present into heat
Yo kuraku mo enjoy dekireba mirai to ketsugouYo, if I can enjoy the darkness, I’ll bond with the future
Nanimomienai kuragari no naka no supaisuThe spice within the pitch-black darkness
Zessan furai chuu no kimi ni okuru hit tuneSending a hit tune to you while you’re flying high
Nagusame no shawaa ni atari umidashitaHit by a shower of comfort, I gave birth to it
Ano wanfureezu ga saki wo terasuThat one phrase lights the way ahead
Atatte kudaketa kako no jibun woMy past self that crashed and shattered
Waratte uketome marumete suuI accept it with a laugh, roll it up, and smoke it
Yoishiretai natsuA summer I wanna get drunk on
Nannimo nai jinsei nanteA life that’s got absolutely nothing,
Hikari wo tomoshitemoEven if I light a flame,
Kyou ga kuraku naru nanteTo think that today’s still gonna turn dark
Nounamiso furu kaiten de kako to mirai nanteWith my brain in full rotation, the past and the future
Wakannee oretachi wa saki eDon’t make any sense, we’re just pushing forward
Oh oh uta wo kaiteiru dake na noOh oh, I’m just out here writing songs
