Lyrics by Jin

Composed by Jin

Arranged by Jin / Kanto

Hic Hic Hoo

Shake palettes that breathe fire

Giving birth to something incredibly cool

Spirits poured into a single line

As soon as you notice, such a babe

On a blood-stained pen, dots and lines shine

With a swirling perspective

Unleashing "performance" and "art"

The skill and sense honed since age nine is

Not something you can buy just anywhere, lol

Nah, I'm not just idly

Doing nothing, you know?

I'm cutting through the high-stakes world, you know?

If you dilly-dally

You'll fall right off My way

Get out of the way, knock 'em

The royal road or the evil path, no need for guidance

So for me, a prodigy, the best way is my own path

Seriously, there's no time to even breathe

I'll stir things up, I'll accomplish it

I'll finish drawing the picture

Alright, mellow from lack of sleep

Give me the melon

Just "me doing me" is a No

Wringing out the fuel

Play on a double

Juggling two roles, go on

For now, let me bite as a maverick

...

Sensational!

Come on, let's go! Raise your breath!

Let's dance chaotically

The agonizing mind of performance art and art

Bet on it! Today too, hic hic hoo!

...

Spinning wheels uselessly

Being scared means loss & the end

Well, that "impossible"

Is, so to speak, a play of self-pride and self-performance

What do you gain from a little busyness? Money? Yen?

Is secondary, I beg for "miraculous encounters"

Drawn by YOU & ME

An instant art stream show

Non-fiction & "?"

Now, one step forward

Standing like a peony, sitting even badder

Walk, and you'll immediately get nerfed

If you procrastinate

You'll fall off My way

Rather, a better bizarre

I'll play with

Here, both winners and losers

Are totally cool

If you just deceive, everyone sinks

Unleashing yourself is a gain!

(Let's game)

Ah, overflowing exhaustion, give me the color

Me quitting being myself is a No

Unyielding pride, endless love

Sticking to two pairs of sandals, go on

Feeling absolutely great, accelerating

...

Let's go sensationally!

Raise your voice!

Let's dance chaotically

Both performance and art, their agony is indeed a flame of instinct

Sensational, bet on it!

Don't hesitate today

Let's draw chaos

Raise your breath, hic hic hoo!
