I've been waiting for so long (uh-huh uh-huh)
ねえ ホントにそれでいいの? (that's right, yeah yeah)
Broken promises, (check it out, check it out)
甘い言葉に誘われて (ya heard ya heard)
yeah... (check it out check it out)

気にしない my periphery, 'cause 邪魔者ばかり
噂に聞く melodies 頭ん中に搭載 スケールは壮大
美味しく ate too many MC's, I got 口内炎
the fly 住民 いつも troopin'
the 23区 with love 音の囚人
so throw up your hands 冗談抜きな tech
urbanite 流れ m-flo dialect

you know it didn't have to be this way (that's right)
もう何も言わないで (uh huh)
癒せない この痛みも 聞きたくない 慰め
(no, no, got nothing to hear, son)

With all my heart, (what's that)
With all my soul (yeah yeah)
もう過ぎたことは忘れよう (that's right)
With all my mind, (uh-huh)
With all my strength (sing it girl)
涙と流れて行くわ (that's right)

I've been waiting for so long, (yeah check it out)
時と共に消えて行くの (uh huh, on with the groove)
Broken promises, 甘い言葉に誘われて (ya heard ya heard)

Strobelite 非常事態発生 your nonsense
を完全燃やすぜ it's tragic how
何千もの rappers come and go, call this the 番犬 flow
MC's best look out 使う vocab's mental

Remeber me, (yeah) 'cause I'm the one who used to doubt
でもそこらのヤツとわけが違う (that's right)
今現在 過去の話とは縁無い

It's pay day 叫べ my 芸名 it's VERBAL I 整形 
designing this while they play 子供騙し move over 'cause スゲー

空かする数々と並ぶ超高層ビル囲むは Towa Tei

You'll never figure out this 迷路のような rhyme 月の色は蛍光

I've been waiting for so long (yeah check it out)
ねえ ホントにそれでいいの? (no time to think twice)
Broken promises, (that's right)
甘い言葉に誘われて (ya heard ya heard)

心の傷 何故いつまでも (uh-huh sing it, sing it girl)
忘れられないのでしょう (unlearn is the word 真実 manifest)
Why ask why... (why, got no time for games)
言い訳聞かない (that's right, 心の想い聞かせてくれよ)

神様想像以上叶えてください (uh, uh, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah check it out)
'Cause you can light up my world (どこらともなく聞こえてくる音 comin')

From the undeground to a scene that is minus ten degrees
(寒ぃ、we heat it up)
限りないこの flow, unforgettable いつまでも
