Lyrics
We put our hands in the air
We express surrender or submission.
And celebrate like we don't care
Celebrating with indifference or defiance.
Got you screamin' at the top of your lungs
Eliciting strong emotional reactions.
I could really use help right now
Seeking assistance during a challenging time.
My world keeps fallin' down
Feeling a continuous downfall in life.
Downward spiral notebook
Referencing a negative spiral in a notebook.
Don't drink that milk from a tainted cow
Warning against consuming contaminated food.
Don't need no SWAT pig or police
Rejecting intervention by law enforcement.
To leave us the fuck alone
Expressing a desire to be left alone by authority.
Don't welcome wannabe thugs
Rejecting individuals pretending to be tough.
It's the underground that we call our home
Embracing the underground lifestyle as home.
Don't need no politicians or revolutions
Dismissing political figures and revolutions.
To light our path
Belittling the significance of opinions.
Your opinion is irrelevant and so is ours
Stating the irrelevance of both the speaker's and others' opinions.
So why the fuck they ask
Questioning why opinions are sought.
Don't need no institutions or false
Rejecting institutions and false predictions.
Predictions to lead the way
Dismissing the need for guidance from predictions.
All you gotta do is put your hands together
Encouraging unity through a simple action.
And close your eyes and commit's the prey
Suggesting commitment through prayer.
Feel like I'm tangled up
Feeling entangled or trapped.
In spiderwebs or somethin'
Metaphorically caught in complex situations.
Look like you found or lost it
Reflecting on finding or losing something.
I can't get away from nothin'
Unable to escape from challenges.
Don't look like you don't know
Observing a lack of awareness in someone.
That you're the reason I wrote the flows
Addressing the inspiration behind the lyrics.
Damn shame, yes I'm hopeless
Expressing a sense of despair.
And I maintain to keep you focus
Committing to staying focused despite challenges.
Hate the game, flow with Lotus
Disliking the system but adapting to it.
Got hopes to change, hope to get noticed
Having aspirations for recognition.
Hope but don't explode the boat
Urging caution to avoid disaster.
That will carefully go like floatin'
Maintaining a delicate balance like floating.
(Bow down) You've been blest by
Suggesting reverence or submission.
The ghost of us
Feeling blessed by a spiritual presence.
Find the faith in the strangers place
Finding faith in unexpected places.
And they say it's all who you trust
Highlighting the importance of trust.
(Look like you found or lost it
Reiteration of being caught in a situation.
I can't get away from nothin')
Emphasizing the inability to escape challenges.
(Don't need no institutions
Rejecting reliance on institutions or predictions.
Or false predictions)
Dismissing false or unreliable foresight.
(Don't look like you don't know
Observing the impact of the listener on the artist.
That you're the reason I wrote the flows)
Reiterating the inspiration for the lyrics.
(All you gotta do is put your hands together
Encouraging a simple action for commitment.
And close your eyes and commit's the prey)
Suggesting commitment through prayer, repeating earlier themes.
