[English]

Black lip, come on, let me paint this vibe

Someone try to copy this dance

Conformity? F***, just a bunch of simpletons

This Bible purifies in black

Black lip, the way to tighten the belly

Someone try to steal this style

Rainbow S***, low-class Motherf***ers

Black lip, Bla Bla, Black lip, Black lip

A mass-produced market, all the same

Choreography that aims for buzz, looks like crap

Everyone's begging for approval, desire

Floating in a spittoon bath, make love

Even with vague goals, I dash with all my might

Out of breath, looking back at the starting line

Warm rain, bathing, exposing the empty

It's already too late, an instant infection

(Black lip) Just a name, producer

(Black lip) An entertainment show that disrespects the audience

(Black lip) A painful diva

Lift it up, we are the real deal

Even if baby pink is taking over the world, I stand firm in black

Only I know, praying at the altar, if I can see the heavens, I'm a pro

Not swayed by foolish gloss, this color is infinite and even

Paint, paint, paint, paint, paint black lip

Black lip, come on, let me paint this vibe

Someone try to copy this dance

Conformity? F***, just a bunch of simpletons

This Bible purifies in black

Black lip, the way to tighten the belly

Someone try to steal this style

Rainbow S***, low-class Motherf***ers

Black lip, Bla Bla, Black lip, Black lip

Click, click

Annoying ads, skip, skip

Tongue, tongue

Vomit from self-deception

Money, money

Dirty money that takes over the world

Jack, jack

Black joke with GRP sound

OK, OK, original through my filter

Isn't it hip-hop? Shut up, hard-headed rapper

Lift it up, low kick

Get lost, small d***

Queen bee bomb sinking with skill

(Black lip) Power harassment president

(Black lip) Audition with a backstory

(Black lip) Shallow perspective

Exorcism, Reiwa fool

Like a hypnotic

Poison within

Like a hypnotic

Poison, passing through the torii, hands together

#000000

Gain or loss?

Opinion, damage

Anonymous lost in searching for sound back

Even if I show a smug face, I'm actually colorless and transparent

Going out of my way to elevate, later killing the god

To avoid drowning, I must take people's missteps

Finally grasped the sword after slipping through the crowd

Paint, paint, paint, paint, paint black lip

Black lip, come on, let me paint this vibe

Someone try to copy this dance

Conformity? F***, just a bunch of simpletons

This Bible purifies in black

Black lip, the way to tighten the belly

Someone try to steal this style

Rainbow S***, low-class Motherf***ers

Black lip, Bla Bla, Black lip, Black lip
