About This Track

Rustage assembles a sprawling ensemble of rappers to channel the voices of Class 1-A, the student cohort from My Hero Academia. Each verse adopts a character's perspective, their flows and wordplay calibrated to personality and quirk. Deku's opening verse trades on determination and self-improvement, the rhyme scheme tight and propulsive; Tokoyami follows with darker imagery befitting his shadow-wielding abilities; Uraraka's verse plays with weightlessness and strategy; Iida brings academic precision and regret; Asui closes with amphibian charm. The track works as a cypher because it respects the source material without surrendering to fan-service. The rappers find genuine angles in their characters' arcs and anxieties rather than simply name-checking abilities. Wordplay lands cleanly: Deku's "Detroit Smash" callback, Tokoyami's "oni" rhyme, Uraraka's play on gravity and casualty. The result is a track that functions both as character study and as straightforward hip-hop craft, each verse distinct in tone and technical approach.

"Class 1-A" is a single by Rustage, released 6th December 2019. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Class 1-A

[Verse 1: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya (Rustage)]

Call me Deku

I'm starting out on this cypher

I was quirkless, but by working

I'm deserving something higher

It's my purpose - I'm versing

My present, future and my past

So, I'm gonna rock the mic

With a Detroit Smash!

Taking a second, I'm breaking my limit

I'm hitting with everything - pain, I can feel it

I'm straining my muscles, I tussle with enemies

Better be ready, I'm more than a critic

I spit it exhibit it all night

I'm killing it, chilling with All Might

A villain inhibited by my ability

In minutes, you're watching my school fight

[Verse 2: Tokoyami "Tsukuyomi" Fumikage (Shwabadi)]

When you cross this bird

You might get to see me wield the talons

So absurd

How I'm applying subverse talents

Yes, I'm cursed

Carry a demon, I'm full of malice

Even worse for you

When striking a bitter balance

Dark claws harming

The vermin that are below me

Start wars, armed with

Determination and oni

Get back, I've been

Endangering those who know me

Jet Black Hero

They calling me Tsukuyomi

[Verse 3: Ochako "Uravity" Uraraka (DaisyBanaisy)]

I'll make you float

As I'm messing with zero gravity

Don't mean to gloat

When I'm calculating these strategies

Rapidly climbing casually

My quirk "lacks in lethality"

But actually, your apathy

Will lead straight to your casualty

I'll happily fight for justice

With all of my capacity

My motive's money, thankfully

That don't define morality

Reality is, I'm just

Helping others for my family

I'm saving all humanity

Don't you mess with Uravity

[Verse 4: Tenya "Ingenium" Iida (Dan Bull)]

I've got many a twitch

That's the Tenya Itch

I'm like my test scores

I got plenty of tics

Academic, educated

But I never skip leg day

Still regretful

Of the day that I met Stain

Enraged by what he did

To my brother Tensei

I didn't handle it

The best way, I dare say

Left my hand damaged

In remembrance of fair play

I'm representing Class 1-A

They're my best mates

[Verse 5: Tsuyu "Froppy" Asui (Sophia Dere)]

Ribbit ribbit

Exhibit a hero's spirit

I'm in it and so I'll win it

When I'm swimming, yeah, I won't stop

This frog's idyllic

Not a gimmick - in a minute

I'll be launching in to kill it

Like a frog, I'm bringing mad hops

My tongue's deadly

Spitting and I take charge

And then I'm turning invisible

With my camouflage

In the water

No villain can dare to stop me

You're looking sloppy

Now you're facing Froppy

[Verse 6: Hanta "Cellophane" Sero (Cam Steady)]

Lucky thirteen

Of the A-1 team

Kid, I spit great mixtapes

Stick your team

Wraps so clean

And I'm sealing all the matches

Now that Cellophane will bring the pain

All wrapped up in a package

Getting shipped with tons of damage

But there's no send backs

Shut you up

With my bind attacks

Get back

'Cause you know that I'll be winnin'

In this sticky situation

So I think you better stick it

[Verse 7: Mezo "Tentacole" Shoji (Dreaded Yasuke)]

(Yeah) You can call me wall that have ears

Door that have eyes

Meaning I'm cavalier

When it comes to fighting, just like a spy

In close combat, my dupli-arms

Is coming for the harm

And I'm laughing at you

If you're tryna disarm

I'll sacrifice for everybody

Exhausting my quirk

Even when I'm down for the count

I'm disguising my smirk

You can cut off all of my limbs

And still coming with a burst

Class 1-A

Will always come first

[Verse 8: Kyouka "Earphone Jack" Jiro (Twisted Savvy)]

It's ya' edgy girl

Earphone Jack

Utilizing my quirk

In both stealth and combat

I guess I can see

How you think I fell flat

But let me show you I can make up

For that with punk rock attacks

When my earlobes are growing

You know they whipping and probing

Now they gotchu' tip-toeing

Finding the range that my tone is

It's not your typical motion

And my moves don't need compression

It's just another jam session

Beat you with my form of expression

[Verse 9: Denki "Chargebolt" Kaminari (DizzyEight)]

It's time to put in work

I got this cypher on lock

Look, I don't need my quirk

When this verse will leave you shocked

Like a battery, I got the juice

So they put me in a box

When my positive meets negative

I'm like, "So watt?"

You don't want that static with me

Homie, it's fatal

I got so much energy

I'm plugged in without the cable

On the low, I'll leave everybody

On the scene disabled

I'm underrated, but in a flash

I'll leave you endangered (Woo!)

[Verse 10: Shoto Todoroki (NoneLikeJoshua)]

It's Todoroki

I chose to be cold and lonely

Nobody can hold me

With the inferno, I'm overloading

From a broken home to known hero

I'm going up slowly

But surely - and be better than Endeavor

Whether it's hot or it's snowing

Even if I'm behind

I'll be sure to make Bakugo see

I do it for all of his might

Or to stop Killer Stain, forget any trophy

So now that you're immobilized

And then frozen in pain, no-one can approach me

Put up a wall of my ice

Or a wall of my flames to build your enclosing

[Verse 11: Rikido "Sugarman" Sato (GameboyJones)]

Give me ten grams of white

Then I'm activated (umm)

Wait I'm talking 'bout

The sugar that I took

Got a sweet tooth for taking out these villains

'Cause they're agitating (Woo!)

Plus, the girlies

Like a guy that can cook

Call me Sato the Macho

I'm saving these streets

Yeah, these nachos are not yours

I need me a treat

And this crime fighting's hard work

It can leave me beat

But like candy and cakes

Being me is real sweet (Woo!)

[Verse 12: Mina "Pinky" Ashido (Stargirl)]

The corrosive caped crusader

Pinky, here to save the day and

End up taking center stage

Upon these lyrics that I lay up

Easy-going, I'm passionate

In battle, I'm not passive

See it flowing

I don't spit fire, I spit acid

Hypnotic fashion sense

I leave you in a trance (Ay)

I'm good at fighting

My other skills are in dance (Ay)

Protect my friends

We're going in on advance (Ay)

Mina Ashido

You don't even stand a chance (Woo!)

[Verse 13: Elijiro "Red Riot" Kirishima (NemRaps)]

Kirishima's here

Everybody stand down

I'ma activate a quirk

And give your chest a hand pound

With these 'Red Gun Turrets'

Yeah, the target is locked

I'm a boulder with a boner

Man, I'm hard as a rock

I'm unbreakable

Cannot penetrate this armor

And I don't need a little blue pill

To get harder

I'm full of energy

Enemies looking dead tired

Blood running in the street

You can call it Red Riot (Yeah!)

[Verse 14: Koji "Anima" Koda (Connor Quest!)]

I'm the quiet type

Lying with the wildlife

When I'm on, you wouldn't

Even need subtitle lines

Nervous around others

I'm the last one who would yell loud

But to be a hero

Then I need to break this shell now

Yo, it's Koda bringing massive noise

Flowing with that anivoice

That timid kid with rabbit toys

No longer acting coy

Drinking honey tea

Facing my fear of bugs and bees

Get a bull stampeding

With the words like I'm Douglby

[Verse 15: Yuga "Can't Stop Twinkling" Aoyama (Zach Boucher)]

Never needed fame or money

I can get it later

Even though it hurts my tummy

When I use my Navel Laser

I have got finesse

Snazzier than all the rest, I'm the best

Nothing less, being honest

Not a flex, I'm a threat

It's getting harder to stomach

I've got the smarts and I love it

I'm certainly perfect, it hurts

Just like the art of seduction

Heart of a puma, get ready to lose

I'll be spreading the truth

And y'all are stupid if you choose

To fight against the Yuga

[Verse 16: Momo "Creati" Yayorozu (HalaCG)]

I've got the quirk 'Creation'

And patience to work it

Balancing equations

Don't even need to research it

Sequencing elements

A testament to intelligence

You better watch out, 'cause

I'm not feeling very benevolent

If a person's in trouble

Just wait and see what I'll do

I can literally make anything

Overpowered who?

Overpowered who?

I meant, I'll overpower you

It's true, sincerely, Class 1-A's

Momo Yaoyorozu

[Verse 17: Minoru "Grape Juice" Mineta (Nux Taku)]

Where the ladies at? (Ay)

Where the ladies at? (Ay)

Mineta's here to peek

At women that I'm gazing at

People thinking that I'm weak

But you know what I say to that

Leave you in a sticky situation

With my grape attacks

Underestimating me?

You're lacking information

Incapacitation

When you're facing me, frustration

Master of flirtation

Pretty much the top dog

You ain't ever coming close

When I pop off

[Verse 18: Mashirao "Tailman" Ojiro (Rockit Music)]

Ojiro, the Tailman

You get what you train for

Master martial artist

Black belt on my waist, though

Nobody even really

Understands me

Got intelligence, can't predict

Any hit that I'm landing

A classmate

You confide in with dignity

You can wear a costume

All I got on is a Gi

Noble attitude

That's my personality

Accept results that I earn

With my own abilities

[Verse 19: Toru "Invisible Girl" Hagakure (Outcast Rae)]

Take you by surprise

Yeah, I can do it easy

Miss me with your eyes

Yeah, you can't even see me

No matter what you try

Yeah, you can never beat me

Feels a little cheesy

Like a wish from a genie

When it comes to action

My quirk is in light refraction

So it has the side effect

Of never being a distraction

Sneak up on my enemies

Let me be the best assassin

Toru Hagakure

You can feel my passion

[Verse 20: Katsuki "Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight" Bakugo (Daddyphatsnaps)]

I don't think you other heroes

Are even listening

Maybe I should focus your attention

With some glycerin

You don't even get it

There's really no competition

I'm lighting these rookies up

Boy, I'm slaying on every mission

I'll show them once for all

Little Deku won't know what hit him

I will get the recognition

Exploding the opposition

I will be the greatest hero

That ever took the position

So come at me, little bitches

I'll make you wish that you didn't
