Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta drip そこらのワナビーとはかなり差つけるOG, Keep ballin'
左手首 時を刻む秒針 掌の上転がすストーリー
Like a game of chess
読み切る先の先まで oh yea
このベロ回せば I keep paper chasin'
描いた絵は完璧なイメージ
MasterMind 狙い外さない
Pass the mic 全て掻っさらい
すぐ goin' viral ヤバイやつ
蹴散らすライバル can you fight back?
嘘からリアル 道化から serious, faces, faces
針落とせ spin it now スムースクリミナル fake it, fake it
嘘からリアル 道化から serious, faces, faces
針落とせ spin it now スムースクリミナル fake it, fake it
Yen, Yen, bill 掻き集める連日
安い夢なら食い尽くす現実
東の地に躍動する遺伝子
一世二代 果たすのはリベンジ
出来上がった master plan 冷徹に遂行する oh yea
勝利なら保証してやる 俺の microphone
Kickと snare の間で 今何を説く
MasterMind 狙い外さない
Pass the mic 全て掻っさらい
すぐ goin' viral ヤバイやつ
蹴散らすライバル can you fight back?
嘘からリアル 道化から serious, faces, faces
針落とせ spin it now スムースクリミナル fake it, fake it

針落とせ spin it now スムースクリミナル fake it, fake it
嘘からリアル 道化から serious faces, faces
針落とせ spin it now スムースクリミナル fake it, fake it
