Mukashi kara souIt’s been this way for a long time
Kono ba kara taan mawasuI’m passing the turn from this very spot
Insutanto in na taipu like inpu Get upI’m the instant-speed type, like an ‘Imp’, get up
Ikkai kiri no taimingu de highGetting high on that one-shot timing
Kamikire kami kamikireIt’s just cardstock, paper, scraps of paper
Atari mae no you ni moyashitaiI want to burn it all down like it’s nothing
Sagashite wa tsugi no machi kara fightLooking for a fight, moving from town to town
Ubau you ni katte flex like a gangWinning like I’m stealing it, flexing like a gang
Oikaketa aniki senaka wa dekaiThe big brother I chased after has a massive back
Gyaza gyaza gyaza gyazaGathering, gathering, gathering, gathering
Gyaza gyaza gyaza gyazaGathering, gathering, gathering, gathering
Atama no naka mana mana manaMana, mana, mana is all that’s in my head
Gyaza gyaza gyaza gyaza gyazaGathering, gathering, gathering, gathering, gathering
Kata narashi yama kara fudaWarming up, pulling a card from the deck
Sakasama makereba hakabaIf I lose while they’re ‘tapped’, it’s straight to the graveyard
Ima wa wakari aenai nakamaFriends who just can’t see eye to eye right now
Kachi wa hitori dake no killaVictory belongs to just one killer
Murder murder murder murder murderMurder, murder, murder, murder, murder
Sore ga koko ja uwasa no riidaaAround here, that’s the rumored leader
Kubiwa buchi kiru kono kuriichaaThis creature is snapping its collar off
Uchi makutta you na budou danLike firing off a ‘Grapeshot’ barrage
WhateverWhatever
Kae no naiThere’s no replacement
Piisu o hameru you niFor the pieces I’m fitting in
Taema naku tsuzuku kyou mo dokoka hisokaToday continues endlessly and secretly somewhere,
Yatsura orera mazaru you na karaaIn a color where they and we all blend together
It’s my turn tsumi kasanaru tookunIt’s my turn, the tokens are stacking up,
Disutopia sabireta cheen riakushonIn a dystopia, a rusty ‘Chain Reaction’
Ariina kara hollaHollering from the ‘Arena’,
Another world mitaiIt’s like another world
Ittari kitariGoing back and forth
Chiito toka f#ckaCheats and stuff, f#ckers
Tap sureba changeIf I tap, things change
Nagare wa ore daI’m the one in control of the flow
Doujinai naI’m not even flinching
Sonna te ja kanawanaiYou can’t win with a hand like that
Tori tsukareta muchuu asoberu sshoWe’re obsessed, we can just lose ourselves in play,
Ibitsu darake no shin sekai chitsujoIn the order of a new world full of distortions
Kirifuda ubai toru gyakkyouStealing back the trump card from adversity
Let’s tap into the Arena untap into the ArenaLet’s tap into the Arena, untap into the Arena
I got my mind right mana rightI got my mind right, mana right
Tariki hongan day and nightRelying on the luck of the draw, day and night
My life jyuuten nai yama futatsu shatei kennaiMy life’s at 10, two ‘Mountains’ are in range
