BOSSIZMTRANSLATED BY YUKO ASANUMA,BEN POWELL

I've got no interest in small fry / I follow my pen's directions
under the bright strobe / my pulse quickens / I'm under my own high
pressure
I enjoy the glare / and the pure rhyme experiment
I continue / melting down my weaknesses/ turning them in to a suit of armour
A smuggler shipping seeds of success / the karma growing suddenly
even in pitch darkness / the connected chakras glow / the plan unfolds at pace
hold on to the stone firmly / and take a good look at the map we are about
to draw
the odds are uncertain / like a single error in a thousand individual patterns
the unthinkable collision of planets, this is tonight's backdrop / as I await
another awakening
the rapper is the light / and words are the shadow / strike hard / so they ring loud and long
the man of influence / is back after 2 years / back on the stage
with surplus words and sounds / when they spill over, be sure to catch them


Each melody has a different face / like there is always a bad trip
but never look for the way back / live life between terrorist and lyricist
endlessley searching, from door to door
" The solitude of a long-distance runner does not affect me" / My companion is the spirit of words
words that breathe / I'm here to leave them for you
that's how I show you who I am / and how I prove my existence
through blurry eyes / at dawn / I stand on the sub-zero witness stand
ordinary skills / a slight weakness / and an enlightened mind / are what make me
gulp down the stabbing pain / and head upwards, into the sky of the unconsciousness /
we climb up towards the apparitions
I exist way beyond anybody's framework / a professor in the study of kings, mastering the art through linguistic prowess
know your overdraft limit / because this shit is not your average 10 bag
my first-class scope picks out your second-class lyrics / and I don't
even look at you third-class monkeys
My lighter ran out of gas / I sparked it every night with my thumb /
sharpening my pen into a blade
I get drawn to the shadow of an exhausted junkie / sitting in front of the mirror
ball
utterly impressed / because once seen / the afterimage will haunt Kyoto to insomnia

Over the cross-fader / I deliver and imprint my data
B-O-high-skiller / double S deep-spacer
pen, paper, kick, snare and stevia
next time, try to access wherever you are
