Lyrics[]
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
Kubarareta kaado narabete mina

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
