I can’t understand what people are sayin’
どのリズムに合わすべき
一歩ずつ踏み 一歩ずつ伸びるshadow
眠りから覚めたここは
Is it Seoul or New York or Paris
ふらつく足元も
Look at my feet, look down
Shadows like me, nah
揺れるのはその影か
それかこの足だけか
怖くないわけないさ
平気なわけないさ
Every time, I know
必死に I flow
あの真っ黒い風とfly now
Hey na, na, na
まともじゃいられない世界へ
Hey na, na, na
この身全てを投げ出して
Hey na, na, na
Can’t hold me down
‘Cause you know I’m a fighter
自ら囚われの身へ
Find me and I’m gonna live with ya
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
(Eh-oh)
乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah
Rain be pourin’
Sky keep fallin’
Everyday oh na, na, na
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
Bring the pain
いずれは身になるから
Bring the pain
No fear, 道わかるから
わずかな breathe
それは僕の中の光
僕らしい力になり
再び立ち上がり scream
再び立ち上がり scream
今までそうだったように
例えこの膝ついたとしても
倒れない以上
ただよくあるハプニング程度のよう
Win no matter what
Win no matter what
Win no matter what
Even you gon’ say, even who gon’ say
I don’t give a uhh
I don’t give a uhh
I don’t give a uhh, yeah
Hey na, na, na
まともじゃいられない世界へ
Hey na, na, na
この身全てを投げ出して
Hey na, na, na
Can’t hold me down
‘Cause you know I’m a fighter
自ら囚われの身へ
Find me and I’m gonna live with ya
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
(Eh-oh)
乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah
Rain be pourin’
Sky keep fallin’
Everyday oh na, na, na
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
痛みのある方で
この呼吸をさせて
My everythin’
My blood and tears
Got no fears
I’m singin’ ohhhhh
Oh, I’m takin’ over
You should know, yeah
Can’t hold me down
‘Cause you know I’m a fighter
闇の中へ自らdive
Find me and I’m gonna bleed with ya
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
(Eh-oh)
乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah
Rain be pourin’
Sky keep fallin’
Everyday oh na, na, na
(Eh-oh)
Find me and I’m gonna bleed with ya
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
(Eh-oh)
乗ってみな bring the pain, oh yeah
All that I know
Is just goin’ on & on & on & on
(Eh-oh)
持って来い bring the pain, oh yeah
