Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
[Verse 1: John Reuben]
Give the band a round of applause join the cause
As me and Manchild flap our jaws and rap raw, huh
Got to be optimistic
We twist it different your paradigm is shifted
And it's positively terrific audibly
We flipped it awkwardly
How do we did it done it dang it or do I mean do it
Keep it fluid let's move it
I make people music, music sweet music
Every now and then you have to renew it
Still the formula stays the same we just like to mix the elements
And watch them rearrange because
Change is good It keeps perspective keen
But trying to be different don't really mean
That you're doing anything that hasn't been done
Still the style is identical to none
[Hook]
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
Man, I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
[Verse 2]
[John Reuben]
I'm not even sure what's next
I'll let my thoughts collect and do my best to connect
Without begging for your respect
Or maybe just a little, what the heck
Now, you enter in new mindset
Yup fresh water gets the mind wet
Are we there yet? On point bet
All that I am or all I can until there's nothing left
[Othello]
My gift of gab is sort of sweet a summer night's dream
Capture the elaborate colors that life brings
Paint a vivid picture put the pieces in their places
Ain't many saying A through Z to make their statements
To get your point across in 8 bars is a task
To make them wanna hear more of your point of views advanced
We're up until all hours of the night dropping the science that drives us in life
Christ and opportunities to rock the mic
[Hook]
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
[Verse 3: manCHILD]
I know the ledge, I've stood upon it too many times to recall
The line walking through the next start breaking your fall
Shaking the walls holding the phone not taking the call
With crap rappers in the back alley waiting to brawl
You know I'll turn the other cheek but see, I've only got two
So spit in my face one more time and let's just see what I do
Why are you screaming so loud? Are you too scared to listen?
Gather the scraps together, build a whole new composition
You're on a mission because it's got you this far
But you'll be banished to hype man status like Spliff Star
Are we doing what we want? Are we doing all we can?
Are we there yet? Or are we stuck with both feet in the sand?
I plan to overstand the clandestine conquest
Set my feet upon the planet rock with the treads you all express
Nothing less than groundbreaking making songs for the primitive
Forwarding the future foundation for you to finish it
Thank you
[Hook]
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Ah yes and the band plays on
Every where we go it's the same old song
See I really know there's nothing new under the sun
But yet I want to do it like it's never been done
Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
Thank you, thank you very much
