Lyrics

2020 mobbin' mythical crew!
We are "Hololive: Myth"
Let me show you "how we do"!

Did you really think I'd rap like that? Sorry, tough luck.
Vocals gangster as can be, and I'm still "moe" as FXXk.
I lowered all your expectations, and I'll tank 'em again
Because I like to diss myself along with all of my friends!
I guess that you could say that I'm "old-fashioned,"
The soul-snatchin' much-prefer-the-scythe slashin' to dome blastin' master of mxrder!!
But you've heard the good word of Mister YAGOO I'm presuming?
‘Bout the brand new idol crew that won't take losing for an outcome.

Want some?
Come and get it, man. We're RUTHLESS.
But how am I gonna prove this...? Without my scythe, I'm useless...
The truth is...

I'm a Reaper on HIATUS,
Try'na decide how to play this.
Trapped in a stasis- I hate this!
I haven't taken a life in like ages, okay
This is heinous, but wait. Look at me now!
Try'na get souls and I just found out how!
Put up a shroud, stream for the crowd
Play up the game, and the viewers could bow!
Stay tough, cuz maybe the hate will get loud,
And the state of my mind could decline, "cuz I'm proud."
(Press "F" to doubt...)... I'll shut my mouth...
Getting the feeling this rhyme's going south
But forget that! (DEEP BREATH)
Slow it down, regret...!
The hell was I thinkin'? I'm sinkin', outta breath
The heat's getting to me...

"otsukari-sama~"
arigatou. okyakusama ni "choushi dou?"
omoni eigo de rappu shiteiku tsumori nan dakedo
benkyou no tame ni, tabun nihongo wo tsukatte mitai to omou~
("iya, maji de saiaku datta, sore")
Okay, manager? Can we restart?
I'll stick to banter, play it smart...!
No...? ... shaking your head, that means no, right...?
...shxt, okay

Geez, I blew it. I can tell! Cue the haters typing "sell"
Thought that I could do the shit by simply rapping well...
But I've been lying, in case ya couldn't see- I'm worse than the rest.
So as for any people buying,
Fxxk it, welcome to hell, I guess.

Reaper ka Rapper? docchi demo ii yo.
Yeah, let the blood and rhymes free-flow
All my life, been no bark, all bite. I kxll people!
Welcome to my LIVE-stream, though!

Reaper ka Rapper? docchi demo ii yo.
Yeah, let the blood and rhymes free-flow
Dead Beat in life, Dead Beat in death, Death be alright,
So love me 'till your last breath! (wtf)

So now that ya know...
Sunao de tsutaeyou I'll let ya peak at my soul, but just a little,
Keep my anger locked inside and speak my feelings in riddles,
That's how I do it.

hai, hai! kariope mori to moushimasu.
shinigami sensei no itsumo ganbatteru deshi da yon! yoroshiku!
watashi ne, mina to issho ni tanoshimetai kedo,
watashi no koto ga kirai na hito ga takusan iru to omou...
shinigami dakara...

I'm a reaper, so... gotta lotta haters, I guess.
Well, you know what they say: "maa, shouganai ne"
Which means, "It can't be helped".
But, if you pronounce it the way that I just did
It actually means, "There is no salt".

"Good work, Calliope!"
Thank you. To all watching, "what is up?"
I plan on rapping mostly in English, but...
For the sake of studying, I think I wanna try using Japanese!
("nope, no way, that seriously sucked, lmao")
Okay, manager? Can we restart?
I'll stick to banter, play it smart...!
No...? ... shaking your head, that means no, right...?

Reaper or Rapper? Either is fine.
Yeah, let the blood and rhymes free-flow
All my life, been no bark, all bite. I kxll people!

Let's express it with honesty. I'll let ya peak at my soul, but just a little,

That's how I do it.

Yes, yes! My name is "Calliope Mori."
The hard-working apprentice of the Grim Reaper! Nice to meet you!
I would like to have fun with everyone, however...
I think there are a lot of people who hate "Your Boy."
You know, because I am Death, and whatnot...

I'm a reaper, so... gotta lotta haters, I guess.
Well, you know what they say: 「まぁ、しょうがないね」
Which means, "It can't be helped".
But, if you pronounce it the way that I just did
It actually means, "There is no salt".
