Ah, ah, a test for the microphone

In the comedy business I’m an artist

Wearing waistcoats with a vest

Exceeding my personal best

Once the dust here settles the goal is Everest

Division Rap Battle kicking the verse

As far as I’m concerned a beat is a canvas

Smoothly applying colour anywhere I like

I’m the unbeatable, powerful Sasara Nurude

A.K.A MC Tragic Comedy

MasterMind dandy, WISDOM trendy

Nice ideas with a happy ending

An all-encompassing identity

An airhead sees a warped reality

Everybody turn up

That’s like calling a shelf a bookshelf

Being late, saying sorry; you should pay more attention

Please hurry and arrive in Chuohku!

Osaka, how’s business? It’s so-so, you know

In Minami, after a cup of tea

Shall we knock each other out

In the unlikely event that any other division wins

This comedian will interfere and help if you feel down

I won’t run away even if I lose track of time

Taking small steps forward with a mic and a rhyme

I’m the rapper who’s strength has surpassed even hiphop

Osaka represents Doitsuitare Hompo

I’ll crush you in this battlefield of war

Squid and octopus grilled together over fire

A sleepless night in Ame-mura, let’s enjoy

Take a short break in the smoking area

Having trouble finding rhymes in yin and yang

These words are wild; a southpaw flow

If you only ever look down

Your field of view will stay narrow

The effort of inner-thigh throws

Is like trying to smile again

My my, an intimacy unaffected

Even when packed with shirasu

That kind of thing

It’s just a bad dad joke right?

If you don’t get it then there is no answer

I believe I can change my life

Osaka, how’s business?

It’s so-so, you know

In Minami, after a cup of tea

Shall we knock each other out

In the unlikely event that any other division wins

This comedian will interfere and help if you feel down

The truth is that the rattling of kids is so annoying

Is it possible to have never eaten monjayaki

Victory is for the strong

Having a first-class preference over economy

This kind of expression gives vibes that are positive

A legitimate, original type again

The alternative is seriously risky

I’m not ashamed to mess with other people

A mysterious reality filled with stimuli

The time has come to put on my new comedy show

Killing time with this new type of song

Now this rhyme is life

Osaka, how’s business? It’s so-so, you know

In Minami, after a cup of tea

Shall we knock each other out

What do you think you’re doing?

I’ll stick my finger in your ear

Until your back teeth rattle

In the unlikely event that any other division wins

This comedian will interfere and help if you feel down

Alright, alright, alright, here we go

Sooo, the Buster Bros!!!

Well, if you think about it

Sounds more like the “Bathtub Bros”, right?

MAD TRIGGER CREW

Well, sounds more like a bird going

MAD TRIGGER CHUN-CHUN-CHUN

Don’t you think so?

Fling Posse

Right away that makes me think of “Pudding Posse”

Why choose something like that!

And thinking of Matenro from Shinjuku

Hmm… more like Maten-lose is already Dead-juku!

That’s enough, I’m done

Division Rap Battle kicking the verse

オオサカもうかりまっかボチボチでんな

ミナミで茶でもしばいてからどついてやりまっか

他のどこぞのディビジョンを万が一

応援しとったら突っ込んだる漫才師がワイや

時間とか巻いてもまかない尻尾

マイクとライム踏み出した1歩

わいらはライマー度が過ぎたHIPHOP

オオサカrepresent　どついたれ本舗

つぶし合いの試合これは戦場

タコに焼き入れイカ様は炎上

眠らんアメ村で it's enjoy

しばらく行ってへんねん喫煙所

陰と陽で韻探すの苦労

そのWordはWild　サウスポーフロー

下ばっかり見てたら視野狭いだけ

よっこいしょういちまたsmile again

おやおやシラスが詰まった親不知

ってつまれへんやん it's 親父ギャグ

伝わらんかったら返事はないでも

ワイは信じとる change my life

オオサカもうかりまっかボチボチでんな

ミナミで茶でもしばいてからどついてやりまっか

応援しとったら突っ込んだる漫才師がワイや

ほんまにガタガタうるさいなんじゃガキ

食えたもんじゃないもんじゃ焼何て

勝利は強者のところに

エコノミーよりファーストクラスのお好み

表現方法はポジなバイブスで

合法的original type again

相当マジやばい

人とちゃうくても恥じゃないZ

ほんまに刺激満載で神秘的

わいら見せるこの新喜劇

退屈を歌い尽くすNEW TYPE

これがRHYMEするLIFE

オオサカもうかりまっかボチボチでんな

ミナミで茶でもしばいてからどついてやりまっか

なにさらしてけつかんねん

奥歯ガタガタいわしたろかい

他のどこぞのディビジョンを万が一

応援しとったら突っ込んだる漫才師がワイや

えーとBuster Bros！！！やと思ったらバスタブです

それお風呂

MAD TRIGGER CREWやと思ったら

まっ鳥が来る～ って　チュンチュンチュンってなんでや

Fling Posseやと思ってたらプリンすぐほってー

なんでほっとんねん！

麻天狼シンジュクと思ったら　負けてもう死んでる～って

いい加減にしろ　止めさしてもらいます
