こんな音が好きなら応答せよ yes yes alright mic わたせよ これが聞こえんならなんか言えよ yes yes alright 聞かせてくれよ listen to the future speak 乗りにおいで time machine flowin', flowin' 波調が合う奴 ひらけ!第3の目 voices, flowin' straight from the getgo, このmicはオレの metropolis tokyoに住むこのオレ verbal 出発進行 this rap 街道 でジャイアンリサイタルのように おさわがせします、毎度ホッカホッカ rhyme サクレツ、目的なしなしは拒絶、なんの変哲 もある my crew、疾風のように現われ、同じく去る when u thought it was safeため息つく間もなく ちゃくちゃく書き上げるものは数々 あるぜ数々、あるぜ数々、 そうさますます、ここヤバくなる そうさますます、超ヤバくなる そうさますます、ここヤバくなる
