[English]

Step in heel to adrenaline my muscle

Encourage training, work hard every day

Question my own primal roar

What I want, basically sugars to my brain and guts

Immediately release my ultimate technique on a higher plane

Repeat to grasp the tail of the image

People pulling at my mind, knocking them around—that's a knockout

No origins or backgrounds

Just me, being myself

I want to tell something, I want to convey something, I want to say something

Like that, without hesitation, with that fist slammed up

Abracadabra, quiet down, loud noise

Full physical strength, MP is zero

Go with momentum, be a hero

If it hits your solar plexus, you'll go "Ugh!" with a punch

...

Completely powerless, blackout, can't take it anymore, timeout

Find the weak spot, seize the moment, ebi time

Piercing through chaos with these hands

What I want, basically joy for today and tomorrow

Literally, colorful heroes

Dreaming and copying when I was a kid

Those plotting evil, knocking them out with that sense of thumping

No tricks or fakes at all

Just me, being myself

...

Crawl and hide, muddy soul

Bravery gradually grows more natural

Get up, you're already there

Just become who you are

I want to deliver something, I want to send something, I want to give something

Things like warmth, love, bouquets—stuff like that

I want to tell something, I want to convey something, I want to say something

Like that, without hesitation, with that fist slammed up

Abracadabra, quiet down, loud noise

Full physical strength, MP is zero

Go with momentum, be a hero

If it hits your solar plexus, you'll go "Ugh!" with a punch

...

[Japanese]

踏み込め踵 アドレナる my muscle

励め鍛錬 勤しめエビデイ

本能の咆哮を己に問うぞ

What I want つまり脳と臓に糖

取り急ぎ形而上で放つ奥義を

繰り返して掴むイメージの尻尾

頭んなか引っ張る連中 どつきまわす感覚で knock out

由緒も由来もない

俺が俺であるだけ

伝えたい 何か伝えたい 何かしら伝えたい

その突き上げた拳に迷いはいらない的なこと

アブラカダブラ やかましい黙っとけ

フィジカル全振りMPは0

勢いで行け be a hero

みぞおち入ったら「ウッ」ってなるグーパンお見舞い

なす術なくブラックアウト 堪らずタイムアウト

探せ弱点 機を見ろエビタイム

混沌の闘争をこの手で穿つぞ

What I want つまり今日と明日に joy

文字通り色とりどりのヒーロー

憧れて真似るちびっ子の頃

悪いこと企む連中 どつき回す感覚で knock out

如何様もフェイクもない

俺が俺であるだけ

這い蹲れ muddy soul

勇敢ぶりも段々様になる

起き上がれお前はもう

お前になるだけ

届けたい 何か届けたい 何かしら届けたい

温もりとか愛とか花束とかそういうの

伝えたい 何か伝えたい 何かしら伝えたい

その突き上げた拳に迷いはいらない的なこと

アブラカダブラ やかましい黙っとけ

フィジカル全振りMPは0

勢いで行け be a hero

みぞおち入ったら「ウッ」ってなるグーパンお見舞い
