Be afraid, be very afraid
Seventh day, getaway car in the Mars retrograde
What’s a day of rest, this is sweat into the mason jar lemonade
All to make a playing card levitate
Leopards in the canopy, players in the prism
For a friendly game of level Serengeti plain chicken
Ready set, his pedal get the levy-breaking heel toe
Barrel through the field it’s the chariot of Helios
Caroling the whole way, and brought along an awesome lot
Who only break for carrying a wounded bird to Audubon
Me and the fauna got this cautionary call and response
We hum a chord to find the chorus we lost
I send my dogs to the coordinates, thermos of potato leek
And nurse a fallen ally back to a conversation piece
Meanwhile, looking down a one way the dumb way
Headed for the river this is jump day
I been playing in the streets all day
Meeting with the B-team, being in the way
Ease in, show a couple teeth to the prey
Ease out, peace out, see you in the fray, what’s up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
I step into the room in the usual attire
For a handshaking man in a suit on fire
I been dividing up the diocese, nuking the goofy hierarchies
And ID-ing the looters to be neutralized entirely
I can be a neutral consultant for any fight or flight
Or slither in behind the line, and hit em with the hi and bye
By the by, had to take five from the bright screen
To run around the neighborhood yelling, “I smite thee.”
Feels good don’t it? A whole new component to ruining your atonement
The navy Kurt beanie pulled low to hold his hair back
Fat hands ushering the lamb to the ear tag
And still here after sampling the local tear gas
Cheers, the inquisitive meerkat nears
Daytime downtown, chucking out the knuckle ball
Midnight, Britbox, Cream of Wheat, butter, salt
I been playing in the streets all day
Meeting with the B-team, being in the way
Ease in, show a couple teeth to the prey
Ease out, peace out, see you in the fray, what’s up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
Ah you know man, fucking up the program
Building with the wrong folks, shutting up for no man (what's up?)
Ah you know fam, summertime snowman
Bringing in the bad news, shutting down the whole jam
I can unzip my skin and climb out
The before and after pics are identical, like, how
It takes a couple seconds and I do it every thirty
On a never-ending loop, for the better part of eternity
None stay fresher than the drum break collector
With the steak-ums in the trunk and irregular wave vector
Um, take shelter, I’ll be hiking through the wildflowers
Under white lightning, over mud and up the lighthouse
Just to hit the lights and give 'em something from the grindhouse
Find land, find a damn roof, find higher ground
Sounds dire, the barbed wire crowned outlier
The dark night cloud outliner
I’m zero to sixty before they ever set the timer
Then continue through the finish line in route to Ursa Minor
Versed in the un-fun, prepped for the unfair
24/7 like, "It’s high noon somewhere."
I been playing in the streets all day
Meeting with the B-team, being in the way
Ease in, show a couple teeth to the prey
Ease out, peace out, see you in the fray, what’s up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
