Time is money

Thank you so much for giving me your time

My finest outfit is this body built on these rough paths

Polished like diamonds, my treasures are on the rise

Even if you're jealous, we so deserve it

Time is money

My sensibilities are renewed every single day

The cheers as I give my all

The regrets from my many mistakes

It all becomes nourishment

Flowers can't bloom in dirty water

You can see it just by looking, right?

From the cracks in the earth

That's what it means to stand on this stage

Carving my name into the scene like a ninja

Taking all the gratitude in 2026

Earning millions of dollars

Like a BIGMAMA

Always leveling up

No time to stumble

Time is money

Thank you so much for giving me your time

My finest outfit is this body built on these rough paths

Polished like diamonds, my treasures are on the rise

Even if you're jealous, we so deserve it

Time is money

Beside the green grass

I have no need for sympathy

The various titles I hold

Are being promoted to antique blades

Which one should I choose?

Picking from an infinite number of them

I wear this stage right now

Treading firmly to leave my mark

Until the soles of my shoes wear down

The distance I've traveled without stopping

Is ringing the bells of victory

No wasted effort, no cheats

Rather than the well-known shortcuts

The views I found by taking the long way

And the treasure map I found there

Time is money

Thank you so much for giving me your time

My finest outfit is this body built on these rough paths

Polished like diamonds, my treasures are on the rise

Even if you're jealous, we so deserve it

Time is money

Time is money

時間くれてほんとありがとう

一張羅はこの荒道でできた Body

磨き上げたダイア詰まった宝うなぎ登り

羨ましくてもWe so deserve it

Time is money

毎日リニューアルされる感性

宝あげる歓声

間違いだらけ反省

全部それも糧

汚れた水じゃ花はさけない

見れば分かるだろ

from亀裂大地

ステージに立ってるそういう事だろ

シーンは宝きざむまるで忍者

2026美味くもらう感謝

稼ぐミリオンダラー

like a BIGMAMA

常に上にLevel up

つまづく暇ねーな

Time is money

時間くれてほんとありがとう

一張羅はこの荒道でできた Body

磨き上げたダイア詰まった宝うなぎ登り

羨ましくてもWe so deserve it

Time is money

青い芝生ほとりに

同情は滅相もない

幾つかある肩書き

アンティークな刀に昇格

どれにしようか

無限にある中から選び

羽織る今このステージ

足跡つくよう踏み締め

靴底削るまで

歩み止めず稼いだ距離が

鳴らしてる勝利の鐘

なかった無駄やチート

周知済みの近道より

迂回して知る景色

そこで拾った宝の地図

Time is money

時間くれてほんとありがとう

一張羅はこの荒道でできた Body

磨き上げたダイア詰まった宝うなぎ登り

羨ましくてもWe so deserve it

Time is money
