I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
Hey, I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
I am like a mirror!
If you smile in front of me, I will smile back!
I am like a mirror!
If you smile in front of me, I will smile back!
Love for love, trouble for trouble!
I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
Hey, I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
Just because you bought lands and houses,
do not dance around with arrogance!
If the earth shakes just a tiny bit, that is enough,
even you will no longer belong to yourself!
Just because you bought lands and houses,
do not dance around with arrogance!
If the earth shakes just a tiny bit, that is enough,
even you will no longer belong to yourself!
If wads of cash are held out,
the kind of person who sells out completely—
I am not that man!
Standing all on my own,
I will conquer this entire town!
Come on, I have no fear!
Always the truth,
I will speak, I will speak!
If I spot any injustice,
I will flare up in rage!
Like a six-foot-tall iron crowbar,
if I clash, huge boulders will shatter!
I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
Hey, I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
To the one who cheats the people,
this world bows in respect, oh!
For the sweat of the working class,
they deserve their fair reward, oh God!
To the one who cheats the people,
this world bows in respect, oh!
For the sweat of the working class,
they deserve their fair reward, oh God!
No one hears the cry of the poor,
tell me why that is, friend?
To the earth you live on, through you,
there should be some good done, man!
Like a firecracker, I speak straight and sharp!
If you pick a fight out of arrogance, I will cut you down!
Everyone should have everything in life!
If everyone wishes for this, it will surely happen!
I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
Hey, I am a king without a kingdom!
Watch out, take note!
If I strike, it is your end!
Listen up!
I am like a mirror!
If you smile in front of me, I will smile back!
I am like a mirror!
If you smile in front of me, I will smile back!
Love for love, trouble for trouble!
