Catch Me If You Can

(Catch me if you can)
(Catch me if you can)
(Catch me if you can)
(Catch me if you...)
Catch me if you can
Find me if you can
Startle me, battle me, rattle me, swallow me
Follow if you can
You're so hollow, you wallow, you know you never can
Overrated automated western cars
from a far makes me sick
Imma shoulda coulda bomb a blue red prick
Imma get a blade and smother all the blood from my wrist
You may think my mind has got some sort of weird ass twist
Remind you that you've done it too
Twice was too many booms
And imma about to ride you right over this blue ass mood
Driving through the bayshore route running over you
2JZ GTE echoes through the roof
Blasting new music this city has got to prove
And I'm the proof
The neon lights are hallowed as the truth
The ads flash between both the sun and moon
The darker the night the blacker the rain
But faster the car, the louder the car, the more it heals the pain
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
If you think you got it all
Then catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Here chase my neon lights
'Cause it's been flashing all night long
As I'm cruising down the blues of the bayshore route
A white Cadillac runs through the melancholic view
Better know he's cruising for the bruising in a few
Seconds the city has got no roof
For those who choose to screw the hue of the view
I refuse such a new concept
Oppenheimer ain't the power
It was uncle sam who held the hour of the doom
And the boom of a nation we amuse
While we can't accept the futures still dark
The past has many question marks
So we hide it underneath the shade of golden arcs
The neon lights hide the shady life
Of Shinjuku nights and make the city shine
And make the city sleepless
Love and relationships are needless
Stepping on the brakes is a show of weakness
I hit the Cadillac and it starts rolling over
I slow down knowing its finally game over
I wish them well in heaven
I hope he goes to hell
I wish these cars moved backwards
'Cause future seems unwell
I wish those lights were brighter
Like back in '89
I wish this nation bothers with making more new lives
I don't want to be alone
I don't want to work no more
No I don't want to be at home
No I don't want to hear kids die no more
No I don't want to hear these old dudes
Making our laws again and I hate to say
But things can't stay the same
But who's gonna make the change?
Where are all the youth?
We are all out of use
Old age, road rage
We are running out of juice
Gotta finish the race
Gotta raise the pace
Gotta take their place
Running hundred eight miles
But still we running late so we run in style
We forget about the hate so we run and ring and dial
Suicide hotline put on hold for a while
The tile on the road is smoking wild
Makes me smile like a child
Run away from juvenile
Hit and run those pedophiles
I don't give a damn about no pending vigilante trials
Exile all the men who are senile
They'll defile
The child and make them hostile
Now the country starts to slowly smell and rot
Tie a noose, extra knots
The road is narrow like an arrow
Like an old mans thought
But I can't stop now
I hit rainbow bridge
And my car falls from the edge

When the sun falls down
Only the shadow remains
Midsummer the moon shines
The flowers bloom
And black snow falls
I'm healing the souls, I'm heeding the calls
I'm hearing all the windows being blown the whole city slowly glows
Like a story never told, it never gets old
Every year a child is born, 1000 cranes, all of them folds
Faults of the lord, melted faces plucked by raven
I am half human and half satan
I'm American but my blood's Asian
My core is shaken. I'm making all the soul ache, all is mine I assume
I am soon to be the monsoon
On the Asian lands, I am doom
ABCD lines the wrong move
Say we leave behind what's true
Pay me key coal mines for truce
Lay me three peace signs what's good?
Let me be and set me free and
I'll be coming to the only sea that matters to me
Winters coming to Hawaii snow falls burning down
Moon tide is making you drown
Never forget of the sound
Plant all the seeds in the ground
Flower starts blooming around
Thoughts in our minds are profound
Race for making the tallest high clouds
You're the uncle who's wearing the crown
Dropped it Hiroshima bound
The train runs through the dark channel
Destination unknown
The beat of the train echoes through the cold
As the train reached the end of the tunnel
The whole world was covered in snow
Snow
Way of the warrior is death
Way of the warrior is death
Way of the warrior is death
Way of the warrior is death
Into the sky, into the ground
Into the light, into the dark
Millions die, millions starve
Nobody comes, nobody goes
Pounding of drums, pounding the foes
Pounding the young, pounding the old
Killing our child, killing our hope
Taking our pride, taking our soul
Take me back in to your beautiful home
Chewing me up, spitting me out
Leaving me 25 nowhere to go
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
No one to love, no one to fight
Nobody shows, nobody tells
Nobodies home, all bodies gone
Can you really say that the rain was justified?
Knowing it took thousands of innocent lives?
Women and children vaporized
Short cut to heaven, that's another lie
Their ashes still snow nationwide
And the snow feeds the flowers on the floor
Hides underneath while the rain still pours
The moon is the only light the flowers can afford
But there at the darkest night
The seeds started to grow
And a new nation was born

What's Good?
02:52

What's good?
What's good?
Water they breaking the sound
Water they seep in the ground
Water they shatter the mirror
A river a dragon but only go down
Holy divinity, living infinity
Telling the devil he thinking like jeez
Don't you look good in a crown?
Looking good in golden gown
Don't you just want it right now?
Say you want pussy aloud
Say you're allowed
Say you want city to drown
Both up and down
Don't you just want it right now?
Honestly, honesty is all you need
And honoring ownership is the key
Older the honor the hollow is seems
Call me tell me ask me what's good?
What's good?
What's good?
City be telling me, making me promises
All of the prophets make a profit
The prodigy pondering next to a pond
Jumps into it an old frog
And I could see the golden waterfall
And the koi leaping to reach to the top
And I could see the dragon and the gods
Playing Shogi with lives of the cods
Isn't is rather amazing the fire be blazing
From craving the sun and the moon
You got a lighter with you?
Light up my silhouette too?
Sinners be loving my moves
Giving a damn about you
Money was... oh never mind, an issue
Love it or hate it
The truth never made it
The people be bated or 'flated or faded
But what's good?
What's good?
What's good?
What's good?
What's good?
What have you found?
Broken record a broken sound
Booming through roof and the ground
Economy academy calling me casually now
How did you do it?
How did you make it?
How many innocents had to be faded
Now accordingly working so tirelessly
The people be humbling, crying, dying you see
He's back in his knees
Begging me please
What you believe?
Pussy or money or dreams?
Screaming for nothing, a snitch and a fiend
Fetching the sinners I see
Bachi Atari the oni the kami will put you to sleep
Promise the city the nation the people this country will never forgive
So what's good?
What's good?
What's good?

Riding on the smooth highway
With my shades on my mood sways
As the sun sets on the wangan
Radio says that it's the wrong turn, wrong way
Turn left if you want to get home
But instead, I let the song play and let the voice fade
Never turn my wheel imma go straight go-ahead
Imma pay and pave my own path away
I pray to god that my pain turns on the wrong lane
I don't want to pay for the love I can't afford
I don't want to play your games imma go ahead and move forward
I don't want my heart swaying back and forth
Imma force myself to take my dreams up north
Open a store up in Ginza
In the core, I will find the life I adored I left a note left a door open for my soul to let it go Out
That you lived a life you always wanted you can leave now
I'm dancing slowly
I'm moving on, I'm free
No one knows me
I'm hoping I'm lonely now
No one judge me
I'm jumping off Skytree
Water falling
The water, it brought me home
Another sunset, not too upset
Of the players that are running not in bed, not yet
Light shine brighter than the day
Such a clean pavement , what a dream entertainment
Going down, under downtown to the basement a wedding gown arrangement
On the show window
And a broken engagement I do recall
Looking back thinking where did it go wrong
And I'm looking back wonder how I let you go
And I don't know why'd you let me go
Kyoto was a no-go for my lifelong goal was to get to Tokyo
'Cause I know it'll keep us healthy wealthy
Steady job with a passion for the cutting edge fashion
We don't need child support
Never helped, but I don't want kids anyways but you did so we broke apart
I'm dancing slowly
I'm moving on, I'm free
No one knows me
I'm hoping I'm lonely now
No one judge me
I'm jumping off Skytree
Water falling
The water, it brought me home

心技体、走り抜ける都内某所
信じない都市伝説、
ありもしない噂錯綜
ぬかるみにはまっても絶えずアクション
古今東西、やったやらないだ。
ここんとこ頭痛いから、リタイヤ
引きこもりして、お一人様
なんつって北上、おのぼりさま
I Wake up every morning
To the honking trucks
Riding on Nakano Dori
My alarm is rather daunting
Start another day calling
My brothers strolling On the side street
Side by side the soul train, araiyakushi
stop at combini
To buy a cup of coffee
The sun is still rising slowly
Tobi gliding in the sky it owns me
This is Tokyo
the first to see the sun on the edge The globe
Full of soul
But you can’t help but to shiver
Feeling cold
世代超え遊ぶミュージック
未だ夢中
遊べるだけ必要な余裕
ブレイクしてマニー
おやすみ、また乾杯
Better keep on running
You can never hide
Represent Nakano city
Where the realest truly be
let the music live and
Hit you till you die
Representing 03
Where you dream to make the cream
かくかくしかじか、中野な皆様
内緒ね、これはね。ネジくんそれでね
なるほど〜いい回答
朝日がでるまで語り明かそう
シークレット、酒に飲まれても歌え、
新譜であがれ、yeah
ストイックライカ、日本人
寒中水泳、寒い中ビートで踊れ
Its 9pm Your bpm has risen from am
men and women running
On their way to underground the den heavy sick
Meaning you’ll get hit
By the high and kick
where the realest live
where the wack they dip
Everybody move your hip
hoping on the illest beat By nej
Energy is menacing
The message is unsettling
What it means to live in nakano
The central
The lost souls
everybody come and stay and never go
世代超え遊ぶミュージック
未だ夢中
遊べるだけ必要な余裕

おやすみ、また乾杯
Better keep on running
You can never hide
Represent Nakano city
Where the realest truly be

Hit you till you die

Mother thank you for loving me unconditionally
Father thank you for giving me empathy constantly
Though your love was always felt
Since my birth, eternity
I couldn’t help but to feel empety
Mother can’t you see
I’ve been
struggling every cycle of earth
Trying to make me worth
look of your eyes
Though I’ve been hurt
Hated school
Hated work
Hated every single one I knew
My presence has been covered with dirt
Don’t really know what’s worse
Is it me living alive?
Letting everybody down?
Or s’it me who are to die?
Making none of this count
I mean none of this matters as I write this letter now
All our fates the same.
Might as well let it happen now
And I get it
I blame it on myself
The selfish
And I’m feeling
Ashamed of myself
The selfish
And I let them
All claim my body
I deserve it
And I let them
All claim my deathbed
I’m selfish

Don’t you want a piece of this?
A peace of mind I mean
Give me shelter your temple
Your tempos crescendoing
So fast and rough yet so comforting
Confidence exceeding swallow this
Im a superstar, ride my fastest car
My son can reach up higher than heaven and further, mars
Addicted to porno
Doujinshi clouds the mental
Only Two dimensional
Mortals hoping she fuck like no tomorrow
Living in three
The inner beast of a pig
disgusting to say the least
they can’t contain themselves to a leash
So they unleash
Everything
And every means
Everybody
Flex to be a living sex machine
Pecks to wet the P
begging D to sting the B
Swinging C between the Ts
Swimming seas
Feeling ease
Like she pray to god
She on her knees
Prey of war
Tenticals
Crawling for
Ama to Tako
seen them fall
From the grace
The Corrupted soul
Favorite protagonist
parody of a show
Profanity
They call Fantasy
Rule is dirty 34
Minds unconscious
Loving is blind
Lust they live in disguise
Feeling deprived
Of all of their pride
Son of a gun
Better be shun
Bright as the moon
Dim as the sun
Pity the fool
Pity the fun
Only a tool
Only a rule
Only go back to insanity
Dip in reality
Question morality
No
Imma go back in my hole
Live in my dome
Fuck everybody I know
Life’s a cycle
But potential
Has nowhere to go
Just another case of a loner
Finding comfort at home

Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
What you mean? I've been always shining
I've been always hiding all my feelings
What you mean? I’m a human being
Just because I don't show it
Doesn't mean I'm sealing all the wounds
Aren't we too dealing with some kind of demon
Since we lived in wombs
Beds are rather comfy
I deserve to sleep in tombs
Rich enough to have a phone to play some tunes
About the unachievable
Because we not capable to live the truth
Because it hurts to go to school
Probably hurts to see the world
If you want the truth getting beaten doesn't really hurt
Rather its the words pr the lack of
Hard to tell if I really could be worth
The life that mama gave me
Glad that papa never left me but its peace that always scares me
Scared that someone knocks and breaks it
Scared that I might fail and lose it
Scared my bully feeds me bees if I can't pay the fee
For their lunch and insecurity
Snitching is a sin so might as well be hiding
This is how I shine while I lie
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
世界は酷く疲れていた
価値を与えられ他人と比べてきた
ストレスに押し殺され涙浮かべていた
弱い人間強くなる為に産まれてきた
確かに寝心地良いよ暗い方が
闇堕ち寸前のアナキンスカイウォーカー
達は試され続ける生きてる限り
"やるかやらぬかだ"と解く慈悲深きヨーダ
この魂喜ばす為に使う金と時間
後はたしなむ程度に酒とシガー
死ぬ時は独りだけ
その時寂しくないように生きる命がけ
探し方に 囚われないカタチ
欲満たしても満たせない渇き
潤す愛のオアシスを求めてる
実態無いからこそ心で得る
誰かのジョーダンが大地踏み付ける
この街じゃ傷ついた奴が傷つける
自分の中に住む悪魔に抗う
硬い意志は削られた分だけ輝く
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind
Right now I'm in the TKY state of mind

Blood pours on the paws of the poor man
Broke his soul
Frog leaps in an old pond
I’m an import
From a new port
I Swore my sword could scorn all of my foes
Thought that my ancestors said I was good
Part of a family, I follow through
I wasn’t good enough, told me to move
Back to the nation my mother gave birth
Exiled from the seven seas
Travel through the lands
I was seeking for some peace
Run away from the fiends
Burn my family tree
Never gave a damn about what I can achieve
Meeting friends I call family
But reality is hitting me
Destiny is that they are all leaving me
Feeling lost in synergy
Going back home to where they once belonged
While I got nowhere to call
Got a gut feeling straight across and it's deep
My back to the sun staring down at my feet Always occupied by my thoughts and my feelings
There's something going on all day here clearly
Oni red from just a sip of this sake
Chemically imbalanced like a Martian
Sit in first class like an alien
I carry on the carry-ons that I'm baggaging
Strange and I feel amazed 5 senses times 2 stacked up tenfold
From the ground up
I'm going through something as I fly lo like a Ronin from Dallas, recording all the way from Tokyo
Keep morality up with some Melee
Then I headout to a jam on a payday
Making sense and I got spare change
And it's a train wreck
Is it that way?

Beautiful

You are so beautiful
My only high
Might I learn to fly
You are so beautiful
I could just honestly tell you right now that I do
I know that I do
Lonely as the moon
Maybe I'm killing the mood
Maybe I got nothing he got plenty
You'd be better with a different dude
Always insecure my feelings inferior
Filling with terror
My lack of interior
Lack of the glitter in I
Flickering lights
lingers and hinders my high
Advertise a new medicine, media meditating in the midst of Shibuya
Many come and many going like who ya?
My motions, emotions might start to be drearier
Superior life was just never achieved
Barrier stopping her always just me
Saboteur breaking through wall in between
Seeing her feel like I'm a Sakura tree
Fluttering, traveling back in my teens
"Love you forever" was only a dream
Hope and reality, question my sanity
Thought I was capable to see her leave
For I believed there's no relief
There's no release, flowers are green
Summer has come here to heal and retrieve
Sorrow. I'm solo but met you I'm free
You are so beautiful
My only high
Might I learn to fly
You are so beautiful
I could just honestly tell you right now that I do
I know that I do
How was I able to find you?
Rainy blue season of late June
Life in a city a Typhoon
Working, running a hundred, hope still got a roof
Learning that earnings don't give about you
Cursing reality, fighting the truth
Burning anxiety run to the roof
Flights of stairs so I can fly to the moon
Made to the roof, ready to fly
Betting my better me on a new life
But I was stopped, peculiar sight
You were there sat also tempted to fly
Sat on the edge with no shoes I knew why
Found myself comfort when I sat beside
Told you and me everything is alright
Stared at the moon 'till we no longer cried
And one night, as the moon showed out
The lady was seen to be weeping
She explained that many years ago
Before they found her
She had been a princess of the moon
Kaguya
You are so beautiful
My only high
Might I learn to fly
You are so beautiful
I could just honestly tell you right now that I do
I know that I do
You are so beautiful
My only high
Might I learn to fly
You are so beautiful
I could just honestly tell you right now that I do
I know that I do
Walking through the rain I can feel like I'm going insane
Watching through your pain I can see that you're just the same
Waiting for the plane to fly away 'cause it's our fate
But I could just honestly tell that I do

Future

Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner
Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner, live in the future
Take it away take it away
I don't need it
I don't give a damn about nothing imma go my own way
But I never needed anyways the glory and the fame
Imma claim to be the coldest rapper to the city to the game
What it means to be the voice and the change of the pity of the old age
Of the young rage
Carry heavy weight of the generation that came to be
And the future generation that will come to be free
What you mean we got plenty of fiends
Don't wanna be clean
Don't wanna be seen
Don't wanna believe in your fake ass dreams
A dream built on a lie
In a bubble, All the trouble
Back in 1989
Lost decade 3, 4, 5
Hive mind of a homogenic homophobic kind
Tech heavy educated but we're lost inside
We're locked inside
Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner
Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner, live in the future
Tell me what you seek and imma look for your
If you wanna dream imma fight the truth
Take a leap of faith and find the good inside of you
Inside of me, all the people that we once knew
And I'm riding on the field of golden rye
Where the teens go to die
Adolescence teaching lessons just to lessen all the lives
Breaking all the promise that we once knew
Bully them break em down make em go to work
But the fear never ends
Stable life you pretend
But you been slaving working through 8 to 10
Better make amends with the devil liquor is your friend
Then again no one even bother they don't lend a hand
Let us call back when we still on track
Let us call back when we used to laugh
Let us call back when we used to try
Let us call back when we used to love
Hold on, life I never imagined can you
Hold on, nothing happening never an option
Hold on to all the promises that have been broken too
Honestly I've been misused
But it's okay I got you
Hold on, life I never imagined can you
Hold on, nothing happening never an option
Hold on to all the promises that have been broken too
Honestly I've been misused
But it's okay I got you
Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner
Believe in you
Believe in the future
Believe in the truth
We live in it sooner, live in the future

When it rained on June you would keep me warm
When I reach the moon I'll let you know
My two feet are off the ground
Let me go I'll
Change my old address to the stars beyond
Wish that I can take you out of Tokyo but
You wouldn't come around
So I let you go
Mother can you hear me from the stars up in the sky
Father can you see me from afar, Imma try to fly
Try to give a life I never had to my daughter
To my brothers, to the loners, to my lover, to my friends
Writing rhymes that transcend through time and space
I send this message you can comprehend
I'm just trying to mend the women and men
And who identify beyond two lanes
Our fate's solidified we're all too late
Our streets are gentrified from nuclear waste
This city is petrified from all the rain
These deaths are justified when we're to blame
It's all the same, it's all insane, I'm all in pain
Our souls they ache, they take our homes away
They take my breath away
I choose my fate, my death
So I'm about to fly I'm about to touch the sky
When it rained on June you would keep me warm
When I reach the moon I'll let you know
My two feet are off the ground
Let me go I'll
Change my old address to the stars beyond
Wish that I can take you out of Tokyo but
You wouldn't come around
So I let you go
I will let you fall
I will be flying over on and on
and on and on I go
I won't come back home
Black rain starts to fall
Crawling searching for a bit of water mouth is dry
Fall our water, choice is drinking poison or to die
Look inside to see my city got no life inside
Parents told me "stay inside" That's the last time I saw them with my eyes
Last advice I got from the wise minds
the lights never shine, the sun never rise
The grain of rice makes life satisfy
To let another child survive and give us time to cry
So we choose to build the city from ground up
Scrape the wide sky looking down to the world from the top
Told me sun will start to rise
Told me we will learn to shine
Told you we will learn to fly and touch the sky
When it rained on June you would keep me warm
When I reach the moon I'll let you know
My two feet are off the ground
Let me go I'll
Change my old address to the stars beyond
Wish that I can take you out of Tokyo but
You wouldn't come around
So I let you go
I will let you fall
I will be flying over on and on
and on and on I go
I won't come back home
Black rain starts to fall
So I let you go
I will let you fall
I will be flying over on and on
and on and on I go
I won't come back home
Black rain starts to fall
