CHORUS

Coming down, new sound, you should be thankful,

Dirty riffs, dirty beats and dirty samples

Sell out shows, take the money, then we cancel

Front rows, back rows getting trampled

(Repeat Chorus)

What, you thought we just left the scene alone?

Got some front page headlines and just ran from out the zone

Are you mad?

I think you're having trouble understanding,

What it takes to fly the globe and keep the crowds demanding,

More of the type of the beats you felt,

The kind of smoothness that you associate to cream that melts

All over tracks,

Dinstinctive patterns are created,

Like an emblem on the grill that says it's highly rated

You figured it out, how much energy when we lash it out,

How much goes into a stage show when we move and bash it out

Eyein them out, it's no coincidence that we're up here,

It's not the lucky team who had the lucky run and cup year

CHORUS x2

You can't buy a scratchcard and jump it this hard

And bust the kind moves that cuts the bone and leave you scarred

There's thought behind the picture, fate behind the faces

Take a look around see who leaves and who chases

Advancing, I don't care how you feel just keep dancing,

You heard me, I jump an extra tide and flow superbly,

Cos it's coming, open up the gates, keep it running

Never been the ones to cotch and start slumming

Thats an easy ride, I'd rather say a storm than a gentle tide

I find it more exciting, and besides I think it's justified,

That we should blow, sky diving the low go, let the people know

Forty thousand feet, lets go climb it check out the ratio

You gonna wait until we're gone until you realise it's a masterpiece?

Treat it like a prisoner who's got no chance of a quick release

Or realise it's precious and discover the truth

And let signals be the marker point to reach for the roof

CHORUS

I don't know when to stop when I see y'all

I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw

I don't know when to stop when I see y'all

I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw

I don't know when to stop when I see y'all

I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw

I don't know when to stop when I see y'all

Can you see that? You see the door

What, you think you can just step in off the streets?

If you don't get the bringin, you don't get the link

That's why some people talk when they really need to think

Clearly, like leap years don't come yearly

Our camp is truly one of a kind, mean that sincerely

For real, you know that you should know by now

See, it's started all already, you should tell by now

Exact, got satisfied friends around track

We've already started planning where to set the counter at

It's been ready for years but see it's all about timing,

You can't expect to reach the top without a little climbing

It makes sense, you can't hold back with gayfence

You look tense, I move on with careful accents,

And stand tall, don't wanna reach one, but reach all

Got the feeling that you heard already cos we heard call

CHORUS x2
