(A/Saegusa)

Un Deux Trois*1

A kiss and sincerite*2 bloom

In my chest like a bud

When it bears red fruit, love me, please

Cherish me

Look at me, okay?

I've sprouted just now

A blue silhouette drenched by the rain

A cracked biscuit

Don't look

More pure white than Paysage Enneigé*3

I am

Within a tragic story

(Hook/Saegusa)

My smile

Seems to be quietly waiting for someone,

With a delicacy that wants to pass away

Like a flower on the verge of withering

(Verse/VACON)

leave it up to the mood

let's try lining up, alphabet

like playing castanets with a click-click

chatter, scatter, chit-chat

chased off by a tea urn, top-pin-shang!*4

(HAVE SOME QUESTIONS)

what do worn nerves sound like really

shalalalala? palalalala?

if you dunno...

"where's my Fairy Godmother!"

covered in ash, baby double up in pain

"this level of trouble..."

like a pile of fluffy scrambled eggs

it easily ruffles the brain

gotta use some magic to make the impossible possible

if this were a circus I wouldn't even survive today

(lotsa customers poppin' an eyes out)

somethin' on the level of "doves from my MAGIC HAT" might get me killed

music box, FXXX ringing out rudely too

That Goes Without Saying

it's nothin' out of the ordinary...

(Hook/VACON)

hidin' my wounds I danced

past the smile clinging to my face was a torrent of loneliness

pretend you don't notice, my master

Masqueradin', I risked my life

to think you'd love a Persona

(Bridge/Saegusa & VACON)

I'm so sick of those forced smiles

Hey, let's talk in private, mon prince*5

right, you musta known from the beginning

unfortunate consequence

I don't even have one regret

if I struggle and squirm and accept it's kizmet

the system works out

A bell tolls and echoes, interfering, ciel serein*6

I glare at the suspicious light

a stretched out hand, the eye of a black cat

the carriage has come to take you

let's go, together now...

If you wish it, destroying the world would be superbe*7

laughed at and pitied

go wild sometimes you freak show

with the rest of that life of yours

(Hook/Saegusa)

My smile

Is surely waiting for someone,

With a delicacy that wants to pass away

Like a flower on the verge of withering

A hand picks it

The morning that came for me

Feels like the end of a long dream

Swaying in sweet drowsiness

I melt and disappear

Ah

[GGGN]

once stand alone and now connected, we've come to crush it so listen up

a crew of prodigies? a bunch of dumbasses? or just some weirdos? ... get some sense and go google it, shithead

it might not get to you but grow up

these guys’ve sharpened their warped personalities and gathered, now watch as they rampage

here's the vanguard, G to the G to the G to the N

  [A-CONY]

spare-time MC spitting and scattering words like flyers again

got tricks like pics that’s totes diff from actual

tech's low-class but makes girls moan with its clicks

life is movie. my mouth won't stop moving

even if I forget my lines I improvise and play it cool

with no rules

go with your mood and keep it together, #StudioLama & vary the pace

  [Fuyu]

Boosters to full power, heart's floating

If you're gonna tease and play with your NERVES

Go brush up, don’t go tripping

Don’t eat up a stupid amount of bullshit

From kilo to mega to giga to tera it’s all FREE so carefully

Don’t go and get high

Even under shock your heart stays true to that first urge

Getting pissed and spasming like some junkie

Ain't no joke

  [HaGRmA]

Wake up from nowhere

I take in these electrical radio waves connecting to my brain

And roam around this Maze without the goal

Let's head to the boiling point without straying

Jump to the Next Subject

Parallel to skipping needles

Choices swirl in my head like a visual novel

In this never-ending reality I don't wanna forever pain

So with no excess I'll take a careless step

  [HOOK]*

From the starting point we’ve gone here and there

Let's hang out again and look for all kinds of colors

You’re looking for more, right? So take a step now too, from one path to another

Make the rainbow spin, yeah it's going on

Finding new excitement the searchlight shines on

  [Sarahpyon]

People who ain't KNOW me You got time to SEARCH me, first I’m way different, that’s why I got charm, CHECK US OUT wherever, whenever on “SNS” all over the world!

Gotta have a little "Knowledge"

I start Typing and write my verse

But WHAT?!

So many Errors...

Even if they pop up I'll redo and RESTART!

  [Nikubayashi Ryan]

Pants on fire, buncha liars or maybe not

This kinda thing ain't out of the ordinary though

A brand new gang of smooth talkers

Too cramped in here, Oshikura Manju**

This guy’s the real deal, fo reals

is what I aim to be called so Imma do one hunnid

Ryan’s no John Doe

My head's cool, and my heart's on fire

  [Maaku]

So many things I don't know

But use my head too much and I end up a fool

Surprisingly I might be biased with what catches my eye

If I speak real frankly, without caring how I look

A faint, slight bit of reality

In this world that won't stop even as it ages,

I'll give chase, won't give in, keep searching for who I am

  [VACON]

jam, jam various things into my head

ain't enough, though usually we're on the verge of burstin'

don't glance down, it’s alright if you gotta frown

drawin' 'til i grab hold of something that makes me go "this is it"

i got a feverish spirit of inquiry

go ape shit on a voyage of discovery

‘bout to spill out, my pocketful of curiosity

i wanna rap now, while i'm shinin’

since for sure it won't be lastin’

  [HOOK]

From the starting point we’ve gone here and there

Let's hang out again and look for all kinds of colors

You’re looking for more, right? So take a step now too, from one path to another

Make the rainbow spin, yeah it's going on

Finding new excitement the searchlight shines on

  [Rapsuruman]

Envy blares from a megaphone mixed with noise

For HIPHOP addicts with no parole, this shit be like cult religion type mindset: ONE WAY

Loyal dogs who wag tail on the latest trend be sick forever

Exceeded expectations? Even in the worst situations it’s another easy mission complete

We'll pry open a hole in your ears, all hail the arrival of Team Lama

  [Mosyasuke]

In short this is going world-wide, like a shitty site you stumble again on sometimes

Wander around a bit, sniff us out, and we’ll pop up easily, Lama’s Studio

A vast sea that goes on to anywhere, we’ll carve out a trail-blazing history

For a ticket into the universal gate, take your right index finger and left click

  [HOOK]

From the starting point we’ve gone here and there

Let's hang out again and look for all kinds of colors

Looks different right? How’s the view?

We can jump however far, to whatever place

You know that, right?

So we're movin on'

* GGGN sings the hook in the NND/YT upload, while nqrse sings it in the OS version (album only).

chewin' over what had we done

dozens of times...

da da

it was so sharp n' strong

stimulus like peppermint gum

the fleeting love

reminiscent...

never can do a 180

play sanity

it was like I was dreaming

being in your arms

been hoping I wouldn’t wake up

don't know since when but it’s what I’m feeling

god, if you’re there, you’re so cruel

(while in an unconscious)

passing the buck to someone

like a baby I cry in the night

da, da

it rings painfully hollow

rock me in a cradle

half-truths spill out

prittle-prattle, aren’t I such a let-down

I just wanna breathe a sigh of relief

how many times have I done this already? I don’t even wanna count

cuz I know...

if you're gonna do it then "do it COOL."

your favorite phrase

I'll bet you feel pretty great

(...if things go well)

you sure are skilled, with all sorts of things

maybe it's a kind of talent?

what a trifle, it doesn't matter

to me anymore

a paper dream worth half a year

I tried to leave it behind

I can only let out a scream

the day we met

shines radiantly, kaleidoscopic

again, with that broad smile

you come for me

hold up!

I might just get aggressive about you

my lips, gently biting them, throwin' at ya

I have a funny idea

...I'm such an idiot

hold up!

I might just get serious about you

your lips, I'll snatch them away

the whole world, whole thing fell into a slow dance

your broad smile when you pulled out

an oddly mature love letter you hid inside your afro hair

I can't forget it

since that day I’ve hated

I’ve hated kind people

that's why now this is the one romance

we're in similar circumstances

we made up with song and dance

I believed we were "meant to be together."

...there's no way we were a dream, you and I

without an umbrella

I dashed out, without even a destination

as if cutting through the rain I go for a run

when did I start crying?

feel like a wet rag, ooh

sank down in the spot

yes I know...

hey, where should we redezvous?

I'll be waiting at that place

as always

fxxx, feels like I’m losing it

even after looking away there’s only things I hate

what a fool, there's no saving me

I'm so thin,

you can see right past me

it hit me then

all these things I can never get back

IT SUDDENLY

my hands only know how to destroy

again, once more, again...

teach me how to put an end to this

I bungled it

it just about to crumbling

hold up!

I might just get aggressive about you

my lips, gently biting them, throwin' at ya

I have a funny idea

...I'm such an idiot

hold up!

I might just get serious about you

your lips, I'll snatch them away

the whole world, whole thing fell into a slow dance

my breath might just stop

Just a moment, please!

the Life got bored of the two of us

not a gamble, not a ramdom

hooked on sound and light, treasure hunting

this is gonna get funky

white marshmallow and chocolate fountain

how was it

sorry, I can only write sad songs

won't you please forgive me already

I promise I'll never write HER name

so sinful, escape the blame

let's end it already

man, c’mon, just dance, sing with passion (the stressful everyday's gone!)

your head's voluminous, and like "nidus-avis" (raising birds in it)

haha, as if!

if we go like this forever (you know, however till dawn)

you can't even bring yourself to say goodbye, don't pretend to be COOL

we were the same kind of person

I realized this only after we ended up the way we are

just kidding

a sweet dream worth half a year

when I close my eyes

I remember everything

I can recall everything

(woo give me a little mo' time...)

hold up!

I might just get aggressive about you

my lips, gently biting them, throwin' at ya

I have a funny idea

...I'm such an idiot

hold up!

I might just get serious about you

your lips, I'll snatch them away

the whole world, whole thing fell into a slow dance

your broad smile when you pulled out

an oddly mature love letter you hid inside your afro hair

I can't forget it

(fly away now)

i'm ready

(high, stay high)

i'll give it everything i've got

(night makes sigh)

i'm not yet used to this...to this feeling

(why get bye)

so i end up gettin' upset

but it's all for the best

it's for the best

it's just like me, so like me

my wavering footprints leave tracks in the mud

hey, it's okay, it's okay to laugh at my clumsy dance

don't let go of my hand so suddenly, i'll stumble

though i wasn’t holding onto you from the start

it's just like you, so like you

it's not even a hint there’s nothing you can’t do

hey, steal me away, steal me away to nowhere

my wings, supposedly plucked by the tender breeze,

have already regrown – i'm reborn, ready to fly again

fallen angel gets sentimental

like it's natural, even if i'll be find another one

stay just the way you are

i'll never learn, i'll never learn

i'm still young, my skin will repel the tears

i'm living with "regrets"

i’ll drag you to hell with me, dez no limit to their persistant

i feel the distance between understanding and realization

an unfamiliar place, i wonder where i am

hey god, you done yet?

in the corner of the room lies a fallen dustbin, my body splits into dirt and mist, turning to dust

not a few minutes pass before i'm swept away, becoming sand; i've floundered for a while now, countless times already

"a toast to this meeting." we embraced and gathered what was left of our hopes

there's a vampire underfoot, waiting for an opening from wire to wire

i said "i'm so tired." what an incredible liar, hate on me all you want, i don’t care

without our eyes meeting, we wished our memories to be cherished

that's right, i wasn’t sure so i put a lid on my mind

not one thing's changed and i'm on the way to... to...

fallen angel gets sentimental

like it's natural, even if i'll be find another one

stay just the way you are

i'll never learn, i'll never learn

i'm still young, my skin will repel the tears

fallen angel gets sentimental

like i don't still have feelings for you, even if i'll be find another one

stay just the way you are

i'll never learn, i'll never learn

i'm still naïve, my eyes will hide the tears

looks like it won't work, just won't work again huh

in my blurred vision i see for a second a reflection of the future

come to bad end... or good end i don't care 'bout it

just gotta get up for somethin' new

and i thought it through

suckie fxxxie pop

half-jokin’ drop

suckie fxxxie pop

so it's like flip-flop oops stop

your piss-elegant behavior from just moments ago

is fallin’ apart, gettin’ caramel-like

if i give you candy... you can't deny it

of course you can’t help but jump on it

oh... aren’t you bein’ all careful

you wanna make me feel good? you doin' that 'cause you like it?

i'd better don't care 'bout this and that

suckie pop i like it, fxxxie pop i fxxx it

uh... triumphantly she slurps and...

suckie fxxxie pop

we keep gettin’ crushed in these typical situations

makin’ our chests flutter as everyone... huh

hush, we forget to breathe for a few seconds then remember, bitin’ our fingers

a mongoose devouring a viper, hearts poundin’ erratically

feel goose pimples, how simple!

but, suckie pop i like it, fxxxie pop i fxxx it

uh let our memory fly and fly

sorry sorry

but, you feel the same, dontcha?

glory glory

we gettin’ rollin’ drunk to a scene we can’t believe

suckin' fxxxin' pop

aw shorty hit sweet spot "...so good."

a little different from what i was hopin’ but it's not too bad, or rather...

suckin' fxxxin' pop

when did you pick it up?? "...so good."

hey, don't treat me like another guy, be just for me

oh, i'm beggin' you...i'm kidding.

suckie fxxxie pop

half-jokin’ drop

suckie fxxxie pop

crank up our project

you've not decked, and know it

me? 'course I'm wrecked

I've wandered all the way here, let it be, yeah

drinks at the party, drown as much as you want and dance, come on

pathetic and chaotic, drift and get drunk Hated John

you’re just naughty

bury the remainder in the darkness and cut free

that way's much better

be machine, come on... it’s like

you've got nothing left to lose, right? hey, boy

that's right

I’m the lucky star keeping it cool

as if rage would get me anywhere

cut the ugly excuses and bullshit

hey, how ‘bout going to see other people?

nah, never mind, what’s the point

especially for someone like you

I threw to tomorrow things I'll throw away tomorrow

duff, duff, my body can’t even realize through this everyday peace

how the future’s too far and so disgustingly dark it’s starting to shake me now

blah, blah, I've got no motivation anyway

I'll spend today like this too, just staring blankly outside

Hated John

In a Grove* he’s hidden but gets stung anyway

... I was stranded, the hell am I doing

I can't even bear to face you

Laughingstock John

not a single decision he made without regrets

he said "there's tons of troubles, it’s a terrible time"

won’t look back, that HATED JOHN

(somethin' like this, don't wake up, yea)

shoot an out-of-focus opinion

"stop down the lens!"

I don't need the friends I know

vision warped and acting tough,

I escape from the rain with no umbrella and get beat down by the weather

is this kinda strange?

hey come on you anxious fxxx up

dreaming 'til you're sick of it...

get back here and don't worry, yah

can't call it even huh, that's life

I wanna die I wanna live stop thinking, that's strife

that's you

if you wanna get fame and fortune then hey, how's this?

stand up even when you don't want to, "if I do that, I won't get anywhere"

I can tell you right now however many times, just like that

I'm gonna bet "every fuckin' thing I have," alright

I push through with my ego, whatcha think

I despair in an instant, same as always

I’m used to this roller coaster, guttersnipe

Hated John

In a Grove he’s hidden but gets stung anyway

... I was stranded, the hell am I doing

I can't even bear to face you

Laughingstock John

not a single decision he made without regrets

he said "there's tons of troubles, it’s a terrible time"

won’t look back, that HATED JOHN

soar light, jumpin’, cesspool clump of trumpery

no matter where you land you’ll still be fuzzy headed

too late, ain't that simple, from here it's brand new

swallowed up and tossed by stormy seas, makin' it mo' money yo

hey mr. attention seeker, who’s the champ overdoing it and raising them up?

you understand hidden values, big-headed young people?

it's a basic problem, of course, super simple

for what you can't see or get past just go with false-sounding ESPRESSIVO

there's no end to it anyway, strike a cigarette from a lighter,

take a breath and sigh, the streets look lonely in the breaking night, man

every day we rush on to annoying shit, it’s a flake after all

the Rhombus, the moon orbits, what goes around comes around

"I'll chasing the rainbow."

then throw away your dreams and hopes

tired traveler, vivid in his heart

no.1 at persistence, ridiculous unbalance

a "wonderland without punishment" is actually more nerve-wracking, right?

gotta be survivor, hey!

Hated John

In a Grove he’s hidden but gets stung anyway

won’t look back, that HATED JOHN

everybody, what's happen??

everyone's feeling like they're living life with no meaning anyway

it's tedious, serious, and god my ears hurt

these tear-filled days are killin' me and you
