lyrics
The Way WE GO
Intro
Hear the riddim mek we bounce on the radio
Lick a shot till you see words in stereo
Synesthesia we taste merlot
The way we go,
Watch we spit fire glow like uranium
Feel the words as they burn through your cranium
And the scent feel so fine like
The way we go / the way we go-o-o.
Verse 1 - rap section
We come forth with rhymes so sharp evisceration
Desperate to win, now read the connotations
Listen to the troll attempts become aborted
Horrific images leaving your brain pan shorted
A big man said - yah, just avoid the pressure
Complicated words are not a measure of a mind,
Just give them kitty, cash, watch them dance on sand
CodeWalkers wise up and kick off on demand.
Chorus
Code Walk that ass back to your street
If you don want come face delete
There’s more to us than we see
We cold like an arctic wind
Deadly shots brrrap when we sing
Volume done make your ears ring
Loud enough to cause
decimate decibel, Bring you to sonic hell.
Verse 2 Rap
So, after we cleaned the blood and put away the tools
We sat around debating whether we was being fools.
Is the big man right? Are the fans truly loyal?
Is the only thing they want to hear is us being royal
Fools play best - yeah we best keeping quiet
Get the players lined up, accelerate the riot.
Derogatory terms designed to keep us down
But they only paint the speaker like a clown
Middle8
Hear the riddim mek we bounce on the radio
Lick a shot till you see words in stereo
Synesthesia we taste merlot
The way we go,
Watch we spit fire glow like uranium
Feel the words as they burn through your cranium
And the scent feel so fine like
The way we go / the way we go-o-o.
Chorus
Code Walk that ass back to your street
If you don want come face delete
There’s more to us than we see
We cold like an arctic wind
Deadly shots brrrap when we sing
Volume done make your ears ring
Loud enough to cause
decimate decibel, Bring you to sonic hell.
