## Lyrics

**[Intro: Jazze Pha]**

"Ladies and gentlemen, lions, tigers and bears, giraffes, sea urchins, alligators and all that shit... I am Jazze Phenzel Burgandy Obama Luther King Jr. Jackson 5 the First and I'd like to introduce to you Block Hemzell, AKA BLOCKHAMPTON! Oh, boy—ladies and gentlemen!"

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

**[Verse 1: Matt Champion]**

32 hundred on the jacket like Magic Johnson

Got a couple chains off Slauson

Silhouette lookin' like Charlie's Angels

I loose up with a drip of sangria

Wipe that, smirk life ain't that serious

Love when you're double bunned up, like Leia

Make me wanna check my blood pressure

Am I being too obvious?

I got a crush, it's nothing else; I swear, it's nothing else

Wake up, feelin' like Adriana Lima

Wavin' my feet, yo, right up out the Beamer

Do my dance like ooh, la, la, when she strut like "oh my god"

Make me sweat like exercise, double up, milkshake and fries

**[Verse 2: Joba]**

I heard a call from the mountain top: "Joba!"

So I put my cloak on and I walked

Coined a peasant in the grasslands with a wand

Cast my spells with some peasants, now we roam

We left our shanties in the village with nowhere to go

Just a group of outcasts with the gift of hope

Well, now we're eating grapes, and the finest cheese

Achieving wisdom from the wizards we were trying to be

Now other people from my village want to come with me

The thing with magic is you cannot have it if you don't believe

You did not believe, they did not believe

You can't tell me things, this was all foreseen

You're not one with me

I bought a horse with the shillings that you took

And then gave back to me

I met the queen that you praise so much, she's into me

I bought a castle in the Shire with the moat and the catapult

I keep it clean with my medieval flow

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

**[Verse 3: Dom McLennon & Joba]**

Martin had a dream for a niggah like me to show up like this

Why you gotta hate? Looking at my pace

With your face screwed; hope it get stuck like this

Never even cared to appear or adhere my career

Trust me, you don't gotta touch my shit

Pulling every card out the cuff, no bluff is enough to discuss

I won't be the one to rush that shift

Couldn't crush my gift even if I'm in a thousand pieces

Listening to menaces that pledge allegiance

To my every weakness, why they spreading secrets?

Called my dreams facetious, bet they can't believe this

Or they act like the world shoulda knew about me

All I know is they wanted to move without me

How they used to doubt me, but you can’t renounce me

Like la, la, la, la

**[Bridge: bearface]**

Ain't no pressure, oh, no

We ain't got no money, no lie, I ain't gonna rush it, no lie

Straight to the fire, right 'til you move on

We ain't got no money, no lie, I ain't gonna rush it, no lie

Ain't no pressure, oh, no

We ain't got no money, no lie, I ain't gonna rush it, no lie

Straight to the fire, right 'til you move on

We ain't got no money, no lie, I ain't gonna rush it, no lie Whoop!

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract & Joba]**

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My hands up, I let go, my mouth is getting cold

I know they come and go, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

My wrist is stuck on froze, places that I can't go

Niggas that I don't know, la, la, la, la

**[Outro: Matt Champion]**

32 hundred on the
