Lux Run Out
Lux Run Out: Riding High, Dodging Fakes, and Dominos
Lyrics
Got some cute girls tryna get me downtown
Attracted by some attractive girls heading downtown
Got a bunch of fake friends tryna smoke me out
Have insincere friends attempting to get me to smoke weed
But they don't even know even know me, they just finna want some clout
These friends don't really know me but seek attention
And I don't partake, so their lux run out
I don't indulge, so their allure or luxury fades
Got some cute girls tryna get me downtown
Similar to line 1, reiterating the interest of girls
Got a bunch of fake friends tryna smoke me out
Reiteration of insincere friends attempting to involve me in smoking weed
But they don't even know even know me, they just finna want some clout
Highlighting the lack of genuine connection with these friends
And I don't partake, so their lux run out
Reiterating that I don't engage, hence their appeal diminishes
Yeah their lux run out (let's go!)
Emphasizing the loss of allure or luxury these people offer
Yeah their lux run out
Reiteration of the diminished appeal
Yo, I'm a hot head full of hot air
Describing oneself as easily angered but also full of hot air or confidence
Goin' straight to the top, and I stay there
Determined to reach the top and remain there
Man the homies better hop on these coattails
Encouraging friends to join in success
Because I'm diving in gold like Duck Tales
Comparing success to swimming in wealth like in "Duck Tales"
But all I need is dimes, you can have this cash
Preferring valuable people over material wealth
Man I been too smooth, I don't need these racks
Confident in one's charm and not reliant on money
Take all 12 bucks and my mattress
Content with minimal possessions
Boy, I don't need sleep, you can have it, because I
Not bothered about sleep, willing to give it away
Got some cute girls tryna get me downtown
Repetition of encountering similar situations
Got a bunch of fake friends tryna smoke me out
-But they don't even know even know me, they just finna want some clout
-And I don't partake, so their lux run out
-Yeah their lux run out
-Yeah their lux run out
-Man I don't smoke, but I'm on smoko
Not smoking but in a state of relaxation or break (Australian slang "smoko")
Acting like you know me, but you don't though
People pretending to know but actually don't
Showin up a little late like I'm Jojo
Arriving late but still making an impact
But I'm knocking down walls like dominos
Knocking down obstacles effortlessly
And now they know my name no matter where I'm at
People recognize me regardless of location
And they be on my shit like I be on this track
People pay attention to my work similar to my presence on this track
And now I'll never use this college degree
Not utilizing education but content with the current situation
But honestly, that's alright with me, because I
Comfortable with foregoing formal education for personal pursuits
Got some cute girls tryna get me downtown
Repetition of encountering similar situations
Got a bunch of fake friends tryna smoke me out
-But they don't even know even know me, they just finna want some clout
-And I don't partake, so their lux run out
-Pat how come you ain't gettin' high?
Dialogue indicating a confident, rebellious attitude
Cause I been on top!
-How come you always drive?
-Cause I can't be stopped!
-How come you ain't gettin' drunk?
-Already crazy as fuck!
-How can I be like you ?
-Just fuck shit up!
-(Patrick spoken interlude:
Spoken interlude questioning the song's inclusion in the album
Why are we even considering putting this on the album?
-This is the corniest sh*t I have ever heard.
-It sounds like Baby Shark!
-But Baby Shark is kinda tight though
-True)
-Got some cute girls tryna get me downtown
Repetition of encountering similar situations

-But they don't even know even know me, they just finna want some clout
-And I don't partake, so their lux run out
-Yeah their lux run out

-(Cymbal:
Outburst and frustration expressed by the band members
Noah: FUCK!
-Pat: So fuckin' stupid.)
