**Japanese Lyrics**
四面楚歌だろうが You don't have to surprise

ジタバタするなよ Baby calm down

I know nobody wants it prove

それは誰が手にするんだ？

神のみぞ知る

I'm ready to fight all night

There are so many aimbot though

行くぜ Checkmate くらえ Boom Boom Boom

乗ってきなよ Audience

それじゃ未開の地へ Vroom Vroom Vroom

不安は全部蹴散らして手にする On your knees

ほら待ちに待った

この日が来た

見下ろせばきらめく世界

これからまだ I don't wanna be a star

更に果てまで

We got a crown 怖くない止まらない

I got a GrandMaster 分かるか？

誰が王者なのか

I got a crown

Oh oh 最後の一手を Chose

のろまな You will lose

ドンマイはい退場なぁ攻めろよ Bro (Hey bro)

何度も戦うだけそれが

Good Good GrandMaster

どんなに遠く見えてたってさぁテッペンまで

No more retire

ボロボロになろうが You don't have to surprise

残る駒はゼロ Baby calm down

I know nobody wants it prove

それは俺が手にするんだ

手加減しないさ

I'm ready to fight all night

今たどり着いた

夢の場所は

振り向けばいばらの道

まだまだほら I don't wanna be a star

遥か彼方へ

We got a crown 離さない渡さない

I got a GrandMaster 見てみな俺が王者なのさ

I got a crown

きらめく栄光の

抱える重さに

耐えられるのはそう

I just wanna know who I am

We got a crown 怖くない止まらない

I got a GrandMaster 分かるか？

誰が王者なのか

I got a crown

**Translation**
You're fully surrounded by enemy forces, but you don't have to feel surprised

Don't struggle, baby calm down

I know nobody wants it to be proven

Who will take hold of it?

Only God knows

I'm ready to fight all night

There are so many aimbot though

Let's go, checkmate, take that boom boom boom

Come aboard, audience

Now let's vroom vroom vroom to uncharted land

Get rid of all the anxiety and take hold, you're on your knees

Hey, I've been waiting for

For this day to come

If you look down, the world sparkles

From now I don't wanna be a star yet

Until the end

We got a crown, I'm not scared, I won't stop

I got a GrandMaster, do you get it?

Who's the king?

I got a crown

Oh oh, choose your last move

You'll lose if you're slow

I don't mind you forfeiting, I'll attack, bro (Hey bro)

No matter how many times you attack me,

I'm a good good GrandMaster

No matter how far away it looks, I'm going to the very top

No more retire

Your plan is falling apart, but you don't have to feel surprised

You have no remaining pieces, baby calm down

I know nobody wants it to be proven

That is something I take hold of

I won't play easy

I'm ready to fight all night

I just now arrived

At the place of dreams

If you turn around, there's a thorny path

Look, I don't wanna be a star yet

To over there far away

We got a crown, I won't let go, I won't give it up

I got a GrandMaster, check it out, I'm the king

I got a crown

The sparkling glory

And the weight it carries

To be able to endure it, yes,

I just wanna know who I am

We got a crown, I'm not scared, I won't stop

I got a GrandMaster, do you get it?

Who's the king?

I got a crown
