lyrics

Check it check the graying sky
Made you look, now save me mine
Gimme that gill, that pill, that thrill
Let’s flip that coin, let fate decide
You call it, heads or tails
One flip could tip the scales
So when you call it, you oughta recall that tails don’t fail
That’s just the way it works
Sometimes you play the jerk
Sometimes you play the fool
Just like that first day of school
My first day in 7th grade they put bubble gum inside my hair
With no recourse I cut it out
Like this is war, so all is fair
Flashback to 6th grade, I slapped some kid upside his face
Cause I was scared of the pecking order
Made my case, no time to waste
Not sure now which is worse;
Throw that punch or get hit first
Either way you playin that game
Goin down that road, gotta stay in that lane
So now we off-roading
No longer soft spoken
And if a rapper bite my shh he gets his jaw broken
That flavor’s complex
Not a test or bomb threat
We not here to waste your time
Just here to put that bass in line
Like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
This is just me showing off
Steam inside me blowing off

CHORUS
So when we rise up
Aint no time to
Deny us, baby come on sign up
This is a pine house
And it’s time now
To decide if we dry out
Either that or climb out...
This is a fire drill
Science on the flyer bill
The energy is high but we could go a little higher still
So on the count of 3
Tell me what your name is
And he who screams the loudest will instantly be famous

So 1,2,3 let it go now
What’s your name little man? Let em know now
What about you, little girl? Don’t hold out
Imma go wild with an old style
Make a new crowd say “Oh wow, ooh child”
That Junk is back with a new sound
That funk is back what to do now?
Better jump and clap gotta move round
That globe is spinnin
Gold infinite
But apparently it’s not enough for all of the children
And that lie main fault of the system
That’s what I learned from the fall of the buildings
No sound for the clouds approaching
Can’t be attuned to the sound of the smoke and
Gimme that vote, get down with a slogan
Still shell-shocked walk around with a broken – head
Nina said don’t smoke in bed
I joke instead of chopping cebollitas
Dame libertad con papas fritas Jihad

So check it check the blueing sky
Makes me look so droopy eyed
Gimme that caffeine, gimme that vaccine
Is he happy? You decide
That’s up to interpretation
BTDubs for your information
Not sure why I go to work
While some folks just grow herb in the basement
That’s just the way it works
Some lifetimes you play the jerk
Spin that yarn, play that spool
Then back again, first day of school
So what in tarnation is reincarnation?
I swear to god if I gotta go to school again I start sprayin
I still have nightmares
You know the type where
I’m sporting rejects everybody rockin Nike airs
Then again man, aint much changed
Same old wall with a paint buff stain
Real shine through so I say what I want
Snafu now bring that bass to the front
Like BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
This is just me waking up
Left and right brain making up

CHORUS
