The Cat's Whiskers - One Shot One Kill

Translation by Carpfish; reprinted with permission.

Yeah, TCW in da building
Yeah!

One shot, one kill, it's the moment of truth
We're always on the side of the challenger
One shot, one kill, no matter what
The situation, we're gonna make it, no doubt
Ready go go go go go (TCW) [x3]
Ready go, ready go

It's time to get real now, Ryuu-kun beast mode!
Don't care ‘bout complex ideals, just take action and go
Real HIP-HOP is the only common language that I know
Anything else just gets rounded down to zero
All around you find the truth gets twisted in each missive
But what lies in wait instead may be a trap of explosives
Who can really know what lies in the hearts of men
So long as it's interesting, I'm all in for it, then!

So my precious memories won't be corrupted easily
I'll leave a written record of our shared rhapsody
I've already come to know the worst possible goodbye
My regrets can only rise up into the empty night sky
In order to carry my ideals into the future beyond
Together with my loved ones I will face a new dawn
No matter what the cost, all we can do is win
For the sake of every life we carry on within

One shot, one kill, it's the moment of truth
We're always on the side of the challenger
One shot, one kill, no matter what
The situation, we're gonna make it, no doubt
Ready go go go go go (TCW) [x3]
Ready go, ready go

Surviving through this bloodbath, it's to eat or be eaten
Until you reach the heights of your promised mission
No matter whose song it is no two people ever rhyme the same
So don't let your way of life stay unpublished till it ends, BOY
I started from the back streets, among piles of trash
All over watching every move, security cameras
We'll climb up to the summit, and those half-asses sitting there from before
We'll drag you down and overthrow your short-lived empire

Drowning with anxiety in my soaked plainclothes
The town doesn't care about me, my minute and hour needles don't move properly
As soon as I take a step forward, I'm looked down on by society
It makes me want to give up even on a final glimmer of hope
But with my very own eyes, I need to see it for myself
That's right... With my own eyes... I need to know

One shot, one kill, it's the moment of truth
We're always on the side of the challenger
One shot, one kill, no matter what
The situation, we're gonna make it, no doubt
Ready go go go go go (TCW) [x3]
Ready go, ready go

We ready go TCW
We're ready to go, TCW
Pioneers who pave the way
Until we reach our dreams
Ready go

One shot, one kill, it's the moment of truth
We're always on the side of the challenger
One shot, one kill, no matter what
The situation, we're gonna make it, no doubt
Ready go go go go go (TCW) [x3]
Ready go, ready go
