[English]

Double play, Da, Double play

I won't lose to anyone, I'm on another level

Double play, Da, Double play

Both play and work are fun

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Look, I hit timely every day

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Follow me from the dance floor

No savings, no holidays

Climbed up from there to the big stage

Right arm flex, left arm flex

Freedom mindset, Bill Gates

Diamonds on my wrist, diamonds on my neck

Not even a gap shows in the diamonds on my whip

Respect to my seniors, respect to my juniors

Only shake hands with true friends

Let me show you how to dance, shake it

Or should I grab the mic and spit it

The party's on at my house, get it on

Even the big shots gather, business gets done

If I throw it, it's game set in no time

Even if I hit, it's a home run offense

After that, it's just as I imagined

With a two-way play, before I know it, I'm MVP

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

I won't lose to anyone, I'm on another level

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

Both play and work are fun

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Look, I hit timely every day

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Follow me from the dance floor

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

Double, Double Play, bounce with me

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

Double, Double Play, bounce with me

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

Double, Double Play, bounce with me

Double, Double Play, Double, Double Play

Double, Double Play, bounce with me

The industry rocks, even the club rocks

It's another dimension, way up, way up

Fame and props, killing two birds with one stone

Chasing two hares, get that, get that

On TV, in movies

I want to appear again, telephone shocking, shocking

Stretching foreign cars, drifting with domestic ones

Switch that, switch that depending on the mood of the day

My hospitality style

A smile gently spills out

Boarding in loungewear, first class

Deciding on a slam dunk from the VIP suite

Baggy pants with a low waist, dressed like a gentleman

Just give me anything, swag either way

Dollar dollar bill to Fukuzawa-sensei

Crossing borders, double double steal

Double, Double play

I won't lose to anyone, I'm on another level

Double play, Da, Double play

Both play and work are fun

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Look, I hit timely every day

Double, Double, Double, Da, Double play

Follow me from the dance floor
