オメーが誰より got it goin on
全てかけろ this is yo way , hey! Hey!
撥ね退けるだけの日々のプレッシャー
挑む時ゃぁ いつでもどえら danger
Lookin' in my eyez shinin' like an ice
こいつに全てかけた messenger
補欠も今じゃ旬なバッター フラフラこかしたるて that girl
人々は呼んだ 俺を低脳と蔑み 相手にしねーよやっぱ
おままごとじゃなきゃ芸能? hell no! 歌う命かけた男に贈る晩歌
いくつになっても soul survivor 一人戦うこの世界じゃ
呼んでも来ねーぜ supervisor 男は結局 ドラゴンとタイガー
どん底からテッペンまで go 現実化する オメーの妄想
未来を決める ｢今｣の行動 見返す その時までは struggle
To the people 見返せる時を睨み take off
オメーが誰より got it goin on
全てかけろ this is yo way, hey! Hey!
撥ね退けるだけの日々のプレッシャー
挑む時ゃぁ いつでもどえら danger
