配られたカード並べてみな

くだらねーと言わずやってみな

無駄にするなチャンスがあるなら

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

全身全霊でぶつかりな

全員の前例を塗り替えな

前進あるのみだ振り返るな

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

1234567

人生がゲームで双六なら

今の状況は一回休み

蓄えておきなスキルとやる気

逆境を前に立ち止まるか

楽勝だって立ち上がるか

決めてんだろ？良い目してんぜ

かけてみろよ全身全霊

悔しさ虚しさを知った歌しか

心に刺さらないことは確か

伸るか反るか答えは不確か

そこはゴールか振り出しか

才能と結果　努力の成果

薄氷の上　孤独なプレイヤー

後ろは崖だか恐れるな

王様に勝てるのはいつもジョーカー

配られたカード並べてみな

くだらねーと言わずやってみな

無駄にするなチャンスがあるなら

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

全身全霊でぶつかりな

全員の前例を塗り替えな

前進あるのみだ振り返るな

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

負けられないのは全員一緒

誰が実証する先手必勝

グラスに苦渋と勝利の美酒を

テーブルに一皿メインディッシュを

最高のパフォーマンス

無駄遣いするなラストチャンス

覚悟運命スキルをベット

勝者が全てをゲット

目の前に垂らされた蜘蛛の糸

誰もがそこでする自問自答

ライバル蹴落とす犍陀多

なれないならなぜマイクを掴んだんだ？

ルールは簡単だ All or Nothing

他力本願　祈るのは無し

ただのライムがゴールドの価値

ここじゃよくある話

配られたカード並べてみな

くだらねーと言わずやってみな

無駄にするなチャンスがあるなら

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

全身全霊でぶつかりな

全員の前例を塗り替えな

前進あるのみだ振り返るな

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

躊躇してたら通用しない

DO or DIEってのは嘘じゃない

ONE for the showtime TWO for the rhyme

空想するだけじゃクソダサい

吉と出るか凶と出るか

出たとこ勝負恐れるな

ステージはまるでボードゲームさ

ブラフでも賭けろ今日の手札

配られたカード並べてみな

くだらねーと言わずやってみな

無駄にするなチャンスがあるなら

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

全身全霊でぶつかりな

全員の前例を塗り替えな

前進あるのみだ振り返るな

やるしかねーそう1 or 8

Line up the cards that were passed out

Don’t say it’s nonsense, just do it

Don’t waste the chance you’ve been given

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Charge ahead with all that you’ve got

Paint over everyone’s previous actions

With only your past, don’t look back

Do or die, right 1 or 8

1234567

If life is a game of dice

In the current status, skip a turn

Keep your skills and determination in reserve

Will you freeze in the face of adversity?

Will you call out that it’s an easy victory?

You’ve decided, right? You’ve got a good eye

Try betting on all that you’ve got

It’s true that only songs of

Regret and emptiness pierce the heart

The uncertainty of success or failure

Is that the goal or the start line

Talent and result, the fruits of your labor

The lonely player on thin ice

Though a cliff is behind you, don’t be afraid

The joker always defeats the king

Line up the cards that were passed out

Don’t say it’s nonsense, just do it

Don’t waste the chance you’ve been given

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Charge ahead with all that you’ve got

Paint over everyone’s previous actions

With only your past, don’t look back

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Everyone feels they can’t lose

The first to prove it is the winner

A glass of beautiful sake with bitterness and victory

On the table with a plate of the main dish

It’s an awesome performance

If it’s wasted, it’s your last chance

Bet on your courage, fate, and skill

Winner takes all

The spider’s thread dangling in front of me

Everyone experiences this self-questioning

Kandata kicks off his rivals

If you’re not used to it, why did you grab the microphone?

The rule is simple: all or nothing

No prayers, salvation by faith

An ordinary lime has the value of gold

Typical around here

Line up the cards that were passed out

Don’t say it’s nonsense, just do it

Don’t waste the chance you’ve been given

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Charge ahead with all that you’ve got

Paint over everyone’s previous actions

With only your past, don’t look back

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Hesitating doesn’t work

DO or DIE is not a lie

ONE for the showtime TWO for the rhyme

It’s super lame just to fantasize

Will the outcome be lucky or unfortunate

Don’t be afraid to battle, whatever the outcome

The stage is like a board game

Bet on today’s hand, even if it’s a bluff

Line up the cards that were passed out

Don’t say it’s nonsense, just do it

Don’t waste the chance you’ve been given

Do or die, right 1 or 8

Charge ahead with all that you’ve got

Paint over everyone’s previous actions

With only your past, don’t look back

Do or die, right 1 or 8
