[English]

You ain’t ready for the “BALLISTIK BOYZ”

Make it bounce

We’re gonna make it bounce... make it bounce

Innovators of the Reiwa era starting the show

Elites on the street, the rumors call us RAIDERS

Breaking down walls, forever changing the game

From Tokyo to the world, we lift it up, bust it down

The spirit of wavy harmony and calm

No gravity, walking freely above the sound

No ceiling on the visions we dream of

From Tokyo to the world, we bring the big bang

Climbing up, now who got juice? (Now Now)

Stamping the rhythm of the beginning (Clap clap)

Jacking news from city to city (Ya)

Money, power, fame, taking it all (Hey)

44RAIDERS, hands up, raise ‘em high

Hold it up, bang

Let me see you get down

Focused with unshakable aim, go up

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

Lights off (My Fire)

Lights off (Your Fire)

Lights off (Everything)

Brrrah ta ta ta

44RAIDERS, now’s the time to strike

Straight up into the sky

One shot, one kill, it's only right

Na na na na na

Hello to the era of young kings, young bosses

Na na na na na

In another dimension, level up, cool fellows

No precedents, increasing this pace to zero

Filling the future more than the past, real life

From Tokyo to the world, go all out, bust it down

Bold and fearless, I gotta make it

Kids of yesterday, take the throne in legendary scenes

With pride in our hearts, riding the wind higher

From Tokyo to the world, shout louder

Speeding up, our hearts pounding (Knock knock)

Beats and heartbeat sync (Blah Blah)

Pull the trigger without hesitation (Ya)

All I wanna do is just do what I do

44RAIDERS, hands up, raise ‘em high

Hold it up, bang

Let me see you get down

Focused with unshakable aim, go up

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

Lights off (My Fire)

Lights off (Your Fire)

Lights off (Everything)

Brrrah ta ta ta

44RAIDERS, now’s the time to strike

Straight up into the sky

44RAIDERS, hands up, raise ‘em high

Hold it up, bang

Let me see you get down

Focused with unshakable aim, go up

Are you ready now? Are you ready now?

Lights off (My Fire)

Lights off (Your Fire)

Lights off (Everything)

Brrrah ta ta ta

44RAIDERS, now’s the time to strike

Straight up into the sky
