[Verse 1] Smoke wafts up to the light globe Punch through a tight cone Ragtag bunch enter my home MiniDisc from the pocket of my coat Plug it in the mixer, [?] flow We independent as fuck, [?] stuck Maybe we can make our own luck? Cause all these majors suck Thats wassup! We came in here to kill that noise Stay asleep while we fill that void One and one, two and two till we feel employed Make a sum of our dreams like Sigmund Freud At that point the industry were enemies No idea, [?] destiny E.T. is the entity And none of this happened accidentally [PreChorus] And even if they block the exit And lock the gate And everything around is hectic And all of us make mistakes Try to throw off direction Barriers in our way I got far too much invested You gotta keep pace [Chorus] No good reversing away Been going to long to stop now Uhhuh Thought I was against the grain Startin to see what I got now No good reversing away No good reversing away [Verse 2] We formed a band that we called The Herd Unaware Peter Frampton had got it first From upon comin together to put in work If we could subvert, well, [?] And we were lucky enough people listened By the time the second album dropped [?] saw the mission Fingers up against the powers that control the system How did the math conquer with the long division And who care about drugs when you seein that addiction to power Vineyard so beautiful, grapes so sour Had our first run in with a shockjock coward Pissin off rednecks, couldnt be prouder But the rich old white man still got the country on lock In many ways nothing has changed Finally the king died, only for the new guy To end up being more of the same [PreChorus] And even if they block the exit And lock the gates And everything around is hectic And all of us make mistakes Try to throw off direction Barriers in our way I got far too much invested You gotta keep pace [Chorus] No good reversing away Been going to long to stop now Thought I was against the grain Startin to see what I got now No good reversing away No good reversing away [Verse 3] See, Elefant Traks been goin for a while now Aint lookin like anything will die down And Im part of this industry right now And until I put the mic down, Ill be able to cite them Will I be another one of these white men At the top, no idea about entitlement? What I hated all the way back in the cypher when Goin indie, I will always look like them, thought growin up poor Gave me what I need to open up these doors I aint even paused to reflect on the advantages I get Yeah, the privilege that I can afford, all I know is tread carefully Shut the fuck up, tread carefully Intentions get misplaced But you gotta keep pace [Chorus] No good reversing away Been going to long to stop now Thought I was against the grain Startin to see what I got now No good reversing away Been going to long to stop now Thought I was against the grain Startin to see what I got now No good reversing away [PostChorus] No good reversing away No good reversing away
