These rules mean nothing to me I’ll ignore them, just like a villain Crushing the haters, fulfilling my dreams, Ah yeah!

Bye Bye! You with your goody two-shoes, buzz off! We’re the real Outlaws If you’re here for a shallow pop-star show,  The exit is right that way

In the backstreets selling “lies” you’ll find Friend A In the neon glow buying “love” is Neighbour B Someone shows their true self is soon labelled “outcast” We lying sheep hiding safe Underground

Compared to fiction, real life is way more SpiC Be sure to check your fake ID Is the world you live in real or not? Are you the yourself?

Head Bang Ba-bang, Break da-da Destroy your minds, you brainwashed herd Your frontal lobe is drying up Get it running with Bad Music  Head Bang Ba-bang, Freak da-da Unmask your instincts, all you escapists The dissonant sounds of us all, playing out as Bad Music

Is this a daydream or VR? The escape route’s already clear Let’s all do our best? Ugh, how dull (Yeah!)

High High! You’ve all broken free from their lies What’s up? Do you really think their beliefs are what’s right? If you’re here because you seek the truth, The entrance is right this way

Chasing self-indulgent “dreams”, there’s Layabout E Spending “money” on fiction is Hermit F Visualise it, that’s right, just imagine You’ll be in trouble if they find out Overground

Me and you are the same, just chimpanG Don’t put all that intelligence in the trasH Question the world around you now Am I the myself?

Head Bang Ba-bang, Break da-da Destroy your minds, you brainwashed herd Your frontal lobe is drying up Get it running with Bad Music  Head Bang Ba-bang, Freak da-da Unmask your instincts, all you escapists The dissonant sounds of us all, playing out as Bad Music

Is the world we live in actually real? Is the world we’re seeing really true? Right here, right now, what’s your greatest wish? To wake up, right? So break down

Society has been brainwashed right now Brainwashed right now now Brainwashed right now now Brainwashed right now, la la la Society has been brainwashed right now Brainwashed right now now Brainwashed right now now Open your eyes to the truth!

Yo, <let’s fly freely>

We ain’t stoppin’ here!

Are y’all ready to fly?

Yeah, let’s get it!!

(Ei) The chains that used to bind me are long gone

(Ei) They call me the smiling prince, that’s my icon

(Ha ha) <Oh I pity you,>

you’re still stuck on the past?

It must be my life that you really long for

Stop with the nonsense and complaints

To the top, come on, no pain no gain

Aiming for the top, we’re sure to win

If you stand in the way of our destiny, we’ll kick you away

Our “value” is something that only we decide,

if you want the perfect future, get it yourself, you gotta fly

Spread your wings,

<let’s fly> to the sky!

Clear the path to our destiny

Spreading our wings and then we take off

Taking hold of our fate

Of course BAE is the chosen one

<Let’s go!>

Even if we turn to ash, every time we’ll fly like phoenix

The future’s in our hands, so…

We are the future! 

(BAE BAE, BAE sound, BAE BAE BAE)

We are the future! 

(BAE BAE, BAE sound, BAE BAE BAE)

We are the future! 

Ooh, destiny is what you choose to make it

There’s a chasm between me and the common herd,

so who’s the real insect here?

You yapping lil’ EMPERA,

it’s payback time

Ooh, ain’t nobody gonna stop us now

Like a phoenix, every time, again I’ll rise

Won’t yield to anyone, keep going ‘till we win,

I don’t give a damn

Don’t need anyone else give us the “victory”

If you want the perfect future, get it yourself, you gotta fly

Spread your wings,

<let’s fly> to the sky!

Clear the path to our destiny

Spreading our wings and then we take off

Taking hold of our fate

Of course BAE is the chosen one

<Let’s go!>

Even if we turn to ash, every time we’ll fly like phoenix

The future’s in our hands, so…

We are the future! 

(BAE BAE, BAE sound, BAE BAE BAE)

We are the future! 

(BAE BAE, BAE sound, BAE BAE BAE)

We are the future! 

Freedom is not for free, and it’s the same for dreams

You’re just waiting, judging from the sidelines, really so unnecessary

Feel your heart beat out the rhythm, have faith and go on!!

Spread your wings,

<let’s fly> to the sky

Clear the path to our destiny

Spreading our wings and then we take off

Taking hold of our fate

Of course BAE is the chosen one

<Let’s go!>

Even if we turn to ash, every time we’ll fly like phoenix

The future’s in our hands, so…

We are the future!

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Back in the backstreets it was always just us two

To the rest of the world we were nothing but thugs,

but we never wavered, always sticking to our code 

Heh, real survivors

When trouble reared its head I’d settle it in once punch,

always running my mouth when some chumps look down on us

Don’t get it twisted, don’t judge a book by it’s cover,

even after all this time, I haven’t forgotten my roots

Ah, always calm and laid-back,

sneaking up behind ‘em with a villainous flair

Want some top tips? You naive little brats,

most of you will run away before the fight has even started

360, keep an eye on your surroundings skillfully,

that’s important if you need to remember ‘em later

This is fun, ain’t it, danna? Just as it always is!

Money can’t buy trust, but quality goods sure can

Never following orders, doing our own thing

Wassup! Better bow your head when we come through

We’re worlds apart from the start, with all our background,

and no matter what happens we won’t back down

Never following orders, doing our own thing

Wassup! Better bow your head when we come through

We’re worlds apart from the start, with all our background,

and no matter what happens we won’t back down

Double Trouble

A never-ending battle…

to protect what we gotta protect

Double Trouble

Constantly fighting…

to tear down this world that lets lies go unchecked

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

We may be on different paths now, but our souls are one

We know how to draw the line between seen and unseen

Good at keeping our names outta the headlines

Damn cops sowing seeds of ruin, pushing rehabilitation,

back then we were always preparing for war

Back-alley dealings are my speciality,

I can tell with one look who’s the real deal

An unbreakable oath that binds us,  

and we’ll still give ‘em hell stylishly

A basic sense of humanity, that’s what’s right, no diggity

You never really leave the streets behind

Striding toward our victory, traitors won’t be forgiven

There are no rules but we’re still cool and dope

Cutting right through the small talk for a real fight

Over the beat I craft the perfect flow,

wrapped ‘round the music like a tightly bound rope 

Never following orders, doing our own thing

Wassup! Better bow your head when we come through

We’re worlds apart from the start, with all our background,

and no matter what happens we won’t back down

Never following orders, doing our own thing

Wassup! Better bow your head when we come through

We’re worlds apart from the start, with all our background,

and no matter what happens we won’t back down

Double Trouble

A never-ending battle…

to protect what we gotta protect

Double Trouble

Constantly fighting…

to tear down this world that lets lies go unchecked

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

Double Trouble, Double Trouble

We may be on different paths now, but our souls are one

(Yeah, yeah! Akan Yatsura, with KUMI!)

Everybody what’s up?

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Oh, what’s up man?

Ooh, baby yeah

(We on fire!)

Since we’re headed for hell whether we live or die,

let’s keep on laughing, we’re a six-shot revolver 

It’s judgement time, a festival, so get a riot started

Look like the moon’s in high spirits tonight!

Words upon words, chopped and combined into verse

Don’t let the shock kill you, we’re conquering this beat

So surrender all control to us

Leaving bullet holes like stars in the sky!

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Oh lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

Burn it all right to the ground

Oh, lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

A fire set ablaze in our hearts,

we on fire!

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn 

Hot hot hot, we on fire

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn

Hot hot hot, we on fire

This town’s neon lights shine like a moonlight shower,

follow 'em like a guiding light down the champ's road!

Yeah, this world is in the palm of our hand

The hate you throw our way rings like a gong to make us stronger

Giving everything we have to crush the competition,

we’re the real deal, showing off our raw power

Leaving the bodies behind in the past,

Akan Yastura! We’re taking control of the future!

Midnight, music playing, on some emperor shit,

performing to the whole world on nothing but instinct

Shockwaves never waited for anyone

There’s no team better than us

Yo! Even the flames of hell to us are just a campfire,

burn “A” and “K” into your mind with our typewriter

With music that moves your very soul,

we’re Akan Yatsura! KUMI KODA!

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Oh lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

Burn it all right to the ground

Oh, lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

A fire set ablaze in our hearts,

we on fire!

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn 

Hot hot hot, we on fire

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn

Hot hot hot, we on fire

You can’t stop us, so keep it burning (Keep it burning!)

Keep on dancing, shake your body (Shake your body!)

Won’t let you get in the way, take it warning (Take it warning!)

Under the moonlight I’ll show y’all magic (Show y’all magic!)

You can’t stop us, so keep it burning (Keep it burning!)

Keep on dancing, shake your body! 

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Go! Go! We gonna turn it up!

Oh lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

Burn it all right to the ground

Oh, lai-lai-lai-lai-lai

We are the emperor

Sitting on the top

A fire set ablaze in our hearts,

we on fire!

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn 

Hot hot hot, we on fire

Hot hot hot, we gonna burn it up

Hot hot hot, we gonna light up

Hot hot hot, we let our passion burn

Hot hot hot, we on fire

Return to blank

1Nm8

Now, kaboom,

it’s crashing down

I’m standing atop our dreams left in rubble

Pay close attention, 

this new world we’re building, you know it’s no joke

Ayy, bringing our ideals to life,

the scales of justice, tipping like a see-saw, in constant imbalance

(Escape) from this stagnant world

Look,

I don’t pin my hopes on imperfection

Before emotion starts to creep in,

my hardware shuts down all on it’s own

Incompatible

That’s my inherent mindset

Take these efficient internal specs,

and my tech and put them in my pocket,

then I take off

Paint all the walls anew and start over

Tear it all down and build it up again everywhere

We have no choice but to fight, so let's prove ourselves,

and break outta here

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break everything and 

return to blank, ah ah ah

Now how ya feel?

We’re here to rescue you all

And scrap and build

Hear our inevitable flow

Who’s gonna kill?

This world already twisted beyond repair

Break everything and

return to blank, ah ah ah

All I want is good vibes, 

and to make some good music,

that brings everyone closer

Oh, and I want karaage!

Yes I want it

Pick it up with my antenna,

if it’s fun, who cares how many terabytes?

My storage space is a black hole,

so give me more, I want it all

Don’t wanna be a stereotype,

or end up as someone’s puppet

Now there’s nothing I could ever want

Spinning a tale with our soothing melodies

Inefficiency will always get you tangled in a mess

But don’t lose your composure, it’s not funny

So we’ll start anew, tear it down again

You try, but you can’t measure it, you got it

Paint all the walls anew and start over

Tear it all down and build it up again everywhere

We have no choice but to fight, so let's prove ourselves,

and break outta here

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break everything and 

return to blank, ah ah ah

Now how ya feel?

We’re here to rescue you all

And scrap and build

Hear our inevitable flow

Who’s gonna kill?

This world already twisted beyond repair

Break everything and

return to blank, ah ah ah

How ya feel? Still unseen,

our new world, scrap and build

What goes around comes around

Happiness is the best feeling now!

Time’s over, feel my aura

How’s that? Come closer

Sitting in my throne, my words like blades, 

piercing right through you

We’ll purify everything

It’s no doubt

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break outta here

Break everything and 

return to blank, ah ah ah

Now how ya feel?

We’re here to rescue you all

And scrap and build

Hear our inevitable flow

Who’s gonna kill?

This world already twisted beyond repair

Break everything and

return to blank, ah ah ah

This story’s already been written

Which of you will be the next legends?

Road to Legend, put your hands up!

We’ve already made our history,

now we’re passing the pen to you

And if you're still not satisfied,

shout it out now!

Do you get why they call us legends?

It’s ‘cause you’ll never be able to keep up

Even still you’re gonna go on chasing us?

Show me what you’ve got, we’re only just getting started! 

You chasing your dreams? Are you giving it your all?

You trying to stop time? To get back what you’ve lost?

Hey, boy! You've left your laces untied!

If after all that you’re still just fucking around, you must be an idiot

A thorny road full of many different choices,

hiding in the trees with a compass that reveals the enemy’s position

Will you survive through the troubles on your travels and keep on going?

And the bell rings out again

Engine running, spitting out exhaust fumes with my verse

Are you willing to take this mic pass?

Will you hit me back twice as hard?

Here it's do or die, I won’t ever be outdone

Child’s play can still leave you beaten and bruised

This story’s already been written

Which of you will be the next legends?

Road to Legend, put your hands up!

We’ve already made our history,

now we’re passing the pen to you

And if you're still not satisfied,

shout it out now!

Time has passed and now there’s no going back,

I’m the genius returning just when you’d forgotten him

Why was I chosen? I turn to god for answers

I may be 6 feet under but I’ll still rise again

So I’ll leave it in your hands, but you’re left in single figures

I’ll show you something new, double, triple digits

If you're only playing games, you’ll never surpass us

Rather you’ll find yourself sorely beaten

Enough with the ego trip already,

We’re the legends, you know me

From the perspective of a star this is a real lame story

Let’s leave our mark on the world, come on, homie

How many history, only one can take the victory

How many history, let’s write it together

This story’s already been written

Which of you will be the next legends?

Road to Legend, put your hands up!

We’ve already made our history,

now we’re passing the pen to you

And if you're still not satisfied...

This story’s already been written

Which of you will be the next legends?

Road to Legend, put your hands up!

We’ve already made our history,

now we’re passing the pen to you

And if you're still not satisfied,

shout it out now!

LOL you're very very welcome! ^_^ As small as the fandom is, it's so nice to (hopefully) be able to make the series a little more accessible to eng fans, since at the moment it's primarily a music project.
