Ya'll are not not r-ready no not r-ready no
We're about to drop it steady so
Do it like that, like that
like that, like that
like that, like that
like that
Now why is everybody so petrified?
[what]
Petrified
[what]
Step aside
And just drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon] (2x)
Yeah
How you doing y'all?
My name's Mike
I'm fluent with the new shit
I'm doing it all night
I like what i do
I do what i like
I can quit and get it back like i'm riding a bike
Like stop...
...bring it back, bring it back.
We got that balance keeping us on track
That you get when you're moving quick with no slow
You stare like you don't care
But you do it though
I know
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough, but so phony
You and your boys you don't know me
You really wanna hold me
Show me [homie]
Lets get it over with for good
I got a friction addiction i wish you would
Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
Now why is everybody so petrified?
[what]
Petrified
[what]
Step aside
And just drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Listen: you are not ready
Like children in the building you can't stand steady
It must be the beat's so heavy
Causing panic attacks like a crack in the levy:
Give you that Robert-Plant
Dancing-days-are-back feeling all in the track
And in fact for those knowing the name I'm back
With some brand new crack
We can do it like that
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you're tough, but so phony
You and your boys you don't know me
You really wanna hold me
Show me [homie]
Tough talk doesn't mean a thing
Get over yourself you know when we're up in the scene it's
Machine Shop rocking when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
Now why is everybody so petrified?
[what]
Petrified
[what]
Step aside
And just drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon] (2x)
Ya'll are not not r-ready no not r-ready no
We're about to drop it steady so
Do it like that, like that
like that, like that
like that, like that
like that
Ya'll are not not r-ready no not r-ready no
We're about to drop it steady so
Do it like that, like that
like that, like that
like that, like that
Get up!
Now why is everybody so petrified?
[what]
Petrified
[what]
Step aside
And just drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon]
Drop that...
[c'mon] (2x)
Like stop...
...bring it back, bring it back.
We got that balance keeping us on track (4x)
Like stop...stop...stop...stop...stop...
Machine Shop!
