[English]

While you're still in bed

I wake up in the morning

Don't need an alarm

Ambition bigger than Clark’s

I know what matters and that's what counts

Meetings from AM to midnight

So many tasks I've been assigned

If you're talkin' trash, may I suggest you shut your trap?

From studio to studio, some meetings and then radio

The recording booth is my casino, hittin' the jackpot like I'm Mario

Pass Hiroo and Nishi-Azabu, I got a high-class hideout and crew

Beyond the Master Plan, the treasure's shining through

One piece or camisole? I don't care, just give me the check

Gotta keep hustling or Lady Luck won't smile back

I'm done braggin' 'bout money, fame, and who I slept with

Keeping it real by breaking the rules, I'm notorious

Showbiz and the music industry, they all know I’m a King

Saving 10 tons of plastic as I make each CD

It's my business, so sad you're talkin' shit

But your hate keeps missing

And it just keeps me fit

At the Parliament with politicians, in a suit with hair dyed blonde

As long as there's a paved road, I'll keep driving on

Took my hits moving like a runaway train

Now I’m the executive doing things my way

Like a giraffe's neck, I've been waiting for this so long

No need for sleep, an OK verse and I'll keep killing

No beef, no chicken, I cook like Chaki Zulu in the kitchen

Put black labels on my looks and I drink it up like the rich

My skill and stance are beauty, dance like SOTA, can’t stop the feeling

Spit fire on stage, then flip the switch to my CEO pitch

Underground, overground, breakthrough and there's music all around

Without question, it is what it is, I don't do it for the clout

I got my private heli, like Nakagawa Papa going city to city

Faster than light, but I'm still young and still got fight

Everything you see, everything you eat, take a look at your feet

It's all my property, don't be surprised I bought it up like Monopoly

It's ok

Go ahead, hate if you want to

You got my gratitude

It's ok

Go ahead, hate if you want to

You got my gratitude

Doubting me is your mistake, before you know it, you're gonna break

I never miss when I take aim, I've been prepared for future gains

When they settle for “just okay,” I raise the bar and change the game

A revolutionary, jackass by name, if the answer's wrong, I throw it away

No time to rest when I make stocks rise and heart rates elevate

Mitoma, Doan, pass the ball to SKY-HI, like pineapples and pens I'm worldwide

I bet you wanna line it all up, everything the world wants

I'm ranked number one, the oldest dinosaur with brand-new blood

Defining a hit is someone else's business

Go on try and look my way but your focus just won't stay

You're in the lead? Don't lie, this is the game I organized

All the green lights shine as I throw up a peace sign

It's ok

Go ahead, hate if you want to

You got my gratitude

It's ok

Go ahead, hate if you want to

You got my gratitude
