Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.S.P.'s song We're Takin' Over are an aggressive and confident expression of their dominance in the Japanese hip-hop scene, particularly in the north coast of Japan. The lyrics boast about their skills, their crew, and their "bulletproof" attitude towards wannabes and fake MCs. The song also references their ambition to conquer not only Hokkaido (Japan's northernmost island), but also the universe. The lyrics are filled with Japanese language and cultural references, such as the usage of "線香花火" (senkou hanabi) to describe something that is short-lived and unimpressive, and the mention of the "逆境無頼" (gkykoku burai) manga series.


The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Takin' Over" with a sense of urgency and determination. The verses are rapped by three MCs (possibly E.S.P.'s members), each using their own distinctive style and flow. The verses also contain some Japanese call-and-response ("HERE COMES THA NORTH COAST / FINEST" - "俺らが動き出しゃお前らは壊滅") and some English language ("BRING THA RUKUS").


The song's overall tone and style is influenced by the hardcore and gangsta rap sub-genres, popular in the 1990s in the United States. The lyrics' braggadocio and hyper-masculinity are typical of these sub-genres, as well as the use of gritty imagery and violent language. However, E.S.P.'s version also integrates their own cultural and linguistic heritage, creating a unique and powerful expression of Japanese hip-hop.
