lyrics

Yo
keep on standin’
burn it down

BV1-
I been trained to watch like it’s the end of the world
and as the edges turn black and the back ends curl
and we wait and we watch with a mmmmm and a laugh
and a popcorn thrill that’ll it spills in our lap
and we fasten, great
belts and an airbag
candlelight scare reading braille with a
magnifying glass
hide our stash
biding ‘till the lighting pass
we raaaaaaaassssshion
our time is what we askin
gonna ride tha mutha f***ka
‘till my wheels fall off
and my skin unfasten
we raaaaaaaassssshion
our time is what we askin
gonna ride tha mutha f***ka
‘till the wheels fall off, off, off


CH-
Burn it down
burn it down
begin with the roof
no hole in the bucket
we bulletproof

HV1-
I’m only with it when I feel the foot steps from the back of the bus
tell me how do you touch
lights out it’s a rush, that’s a must
and when the light comes in
cut the fame, now let’s discuss the range
interrupt the rain
time to make the call
came to late, and we wall to wall
craft, digging in the crates
minimal light, sight
ripping through life, sound
listen it’s tight, speech
gimme the rights

BV2-
we raaaaaaaassssshion
our time is what we askin
gonna ride tha mutha f***ka
‘till my wheels fall off
and my skin unfasten
we raaaaaaaassssshion
our time is what we askin
gonna ride tha mutha f***ka
‘till the wheels fall off, off, off


CH-
Burn it down
burn it down
begin with the roof
no hole in the bucket
we bulletproof

Bridge- B&H
Fa follow
we borrow
our saddle sits of a sorrow
their narrow view we escape like a snake bite faked while it waits in a bottle
boost, boost me I ride upon your shoulders
i’m a lye within these folds, trying to shine amongst these boulders
boost me I ride upon your shoulders
i’m a lye within these holes, trying to shine amongst these boulders

CH-
Yo
keep on standin’
burn it down
burn it down
begin with the roof
no hole in the bucket
we bulletproof


HV3-
And this is how you make it fit
space is the limit, don’t know how she made me miss
chase me I’m with it, catch me I can make you lift
I’m racing these ribbons I can ride as we exists
assist is the reason we provoke this
gift ‘tis the season we provoke this
liberty lights and loose cannons
hand me this life I’m cool planning

CH-
Burn it down
burn it down
begin with the roof
no hole in the bucket
we bulletproof
