[English]

I'm a Hoodstar - I've made a name for myself

This city's number one Bad Boys - (Famous in that world)

Check yourself - Don't rush me

I'll take you down in order - Ahhhhhh!

Bukuro is our hometown - Whoa, calm down, you're being reckless

You know I won't let you get away with it

Whether you're tough or not, it doesn't matter

Hater or not - I don't know, and I don't care

Empty brains like yours - are useless

Buster Bros, you're the enemy - stop spouting nonsense

Is that your attitude?

I'm just fed up - you're exposing your weakness

I'm bored with fighting weaklings - every day

You don't have a chance of winning - I'm not interested in you at all

Check it out - I'll do what I want, baby

Boogie down, walking down - Bukuro, represent

If you're infatuated, you'll lose - learn from me

We're on the set

I'm a Hoodstar - I've made a name for myself

This city's number one Bad Boys - (Famous in that world)

Check yourself - Don't rush me

I'll take you down in order - Ahhhhhh!

In the chaos, true emotions - are hard to control

Saying "be a hero" - is not that easy

You're dull - a sacrifice

Sacrifice - it can't be helped

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department - I'll do what I want, even if it means punishment

Never back down - that's just how I am

My job is to defuse bombs - the wack ones

Careless people - booby traps

You'll get caught - and struggle

You'll shiver and cry - but it's not like it's fun

You can't win without a doctrine

Check it out - I'll do what I want, baby

Boogie down, walking down - Yokohama, represent

If you're infatuated, you'll lose - learn from me

We're on the set

Division Rap Battle - I'll make your wishes come true

I'm feeling bouncy - don't stop the music

The key to opening doors is being a rhyme junkie - yeah

You're just a kid, struggling

Your cheap pride

Will be eaten away in an instant

I'll deliver with a streamlined flow

I'll cut through this thorny path with my flow

What's the point of being born and singing?

Make sure with your own eyes and ears

I'm a Hoodstar - I've made a name for myself

This city's number one Bad Boys - (Famous in that world)

Check yourself - Don't rush me

I'll take you down in order

Remix!

If you're infatuated, you'll lose - it's pret-a-porter

No, no, I'm haute couture - yeah

Cotton candy is made in a random number - it's sweet and bitter, a fatal attraction

I'll play the role of a villain - I'm evil and noir, like Jekyll and Hyde

The three primary colors of light, RGB - Ramuda, Gentaro, and the rest are idiots

Hey! - Who's an idiot? (Liar!)

Rather than that, it's baccarat - it's a game of chance

Give me the pot, my posse? (Okay!) - I'll take it back, double or nothing

Check it out - I'll do what I want, baby

Boogie down, walking down - Shibuya, represent

If you're infatuated, you'll lose - learn from me

We're on the set

I'm a Hoodstar - I've made a name for myself

This city's number one Bad Boys - (Famous in that world)

Check yourself - Don't rush me

I'll take you down in order - Ahhhhhh!

It's a ridiculous story - but sometimes it's amazing

Ah, clinical indicators - it's like an original rhyming dictionary

Today's event is - a toast to the drinking party

Ah, guigui guigui guigui - gubigubi gubigubi

Good! - 6oz tumbler

I'm feeling Hennessy - shot shot shot!

Isn't it fun?

I guess not... one, two, three

Take care of your liver (´・ω・`)

This city is a lawless zone, you're on your own

It's glittering, but

Even if you're like me, empty and careless - you'll get swallowed up by Shinjuku Town

I'll do what I want, baby - boogie down, walking down

Shinjuku, represent - if you're infatuated, you'll lose

Learn from me - we're on the set

Division Rap Battle - I'll make your wishes come true

I'm feeling bouncy - don't stop the music

The key to opening doors is being a rhyme junkie - yeah

You're just a kid, struggling

Your cheap pride

Will be eaten away in an instant

I'll deliver with a streamlined flow

I'll cut through this thorny path with my flow

What's the point of being born and singing?

Make sure with your own eyes and ears

Now, the daily routine is

Either choking or going crazy

You can't just say "you're welcome"

Silence is a driving force for death

The hype that attracts flies

Killing time is unbearable

All emotions are deadly

I can kick it, scream

Tricks won't work

This is a battlefield of style

Today, it's your neighbor, tomorrow it's your enemy

You're a destroyer, always on the attack

Alright?

Division Rap Battle - I'll make your wishes come true

I'm feeling bouncy - don't stop the music

Even noise can be tamed

You're just a kid, struggling

Your cheap pride

Will be eaten away in an instant

The best bounty

It's up to you

Hypnosis Mic

I'll spit on the lies written on the wall

If you cry, you'll be left behind

I'll connect the dots with this mic

I'll call out high-end rhymes

I'll deliver with a streamlined flow

I'll cut through this thorny path with my flow

What's the point of being born and singing?

Make sure with your own eyes and ears
