## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Dom McLennon]**

Hallelujah, holy lion‚ word to Judas

How I'm supposed to (Hey)‚ trust what you say is the truest? (Right)

Haile Selassie (Uh)‚ insha'Allah if I gotta (Woo)

Spin my words around as if you wanted a mandala for Nirvana

Singin' a sonata towards our karma

Did a rain dance, bringin' commas from Tacoma to Oaxaca

I got spirits in my heart that make my mind move like it's water

Flow into the moment and avoid the melodrama

Gotta breathe for a second, can't believe anybody still testing

My whole team is a force to be reckoned with

Operating like specialists

One‚ to the two, to the who are you?

Sending out projections with prejudice

My attention to detail is in scale with classic impressionists

So the lesson is that prerequisites are irrelevant to my standards (Right)

It's a deficit in your settlement, you better learn to mind all your manners (Right)

My whole troop been goin' bananas

Try and step inside of my jungle (Right)

You can try to take all your chances

We won't help your ass if you stumble‚ niggah (Right)

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

Hiding at my partner house

Couple bands inside the mouth

'Stead of feeling trippy, dawg

You need to help your city out

Hiding at my partner house

Couple bands inside the mouth

'Stead of feeling trippy, dawg

You need to help your city out

**[Post-Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple bands ins-, couple bands ins-

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple bands inside the mouth

Couple bands ins-, couple bands ins-

**[Verse 2: Matt Champion and Merlyn Wood]**

Watch your back (Ayy), don't leave your door cracked (Yeah, yeah)

Slither through your space and watch it all collapse (Yeah)

Watch your back (What?), don't leave your door cracked (Woohoo)

Slither through your space and watch it all collapse (If you, if you, if you, if you, hey)

**[Verse 3: Merlyn Wood]**

If you want a feature we can figure it out

Want a color for your album, we can figure it out

Have you noddin' by the boys who colored, you're all out

Then you copy-paste hard work from the BH house

I always got something to say when you take food from my mouth

I begged my mommy for money until the day it ran out

They say we helped you win and win, now you should figure it out

Figure it out

**[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

Hiding at my partner house

Couple bands inside the mouth

'Stead of feeling trippy, dawg

You need to help your city out

Hiding at my partner house

Couple bands inside the mouth

'Stead of feeling trippy, dawg

You need to help your city out

**[Post-Chorus: Kevin Abstract]**

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple bands ins-, couple bands ins-

Couple with that teflon

Couple with that teflon

Couple bands inside the mouth

Couple bands ins-, couple bands ins-

**[Verse 4: Joba]**

Waste your breath, watch the tone though

Take you to the dojo

Roll up my doja, sticky fingers

At the door, bruh, Jehovah, you ho bitch

Witness sadistic shit, well, come again

Next time I'll take my belt off, spank you

Bad kid, back seat, not me, got beef

Finally, body blackout from rage

Childproof my pockets, don't need the options

Romanticizing what I do if I ain't stop me

Can be off me, tread lightly

**[Bridge]**

Break the law, break the law

Break the law, break the law

Break the law, break the law

Break the law

**[Outro: Kevin Abstract]**

I'm tired of making a fool out of me and you

Is there anything that I can do that'll save us, baby?

Is there anybody lovin' lies and robbin' shotties

45's and still alive, and no drunk drivin'

That's how they killed my brother

(Walking with Jesus)

You know, you know better, better, better, better, better

Better, better, better, better, better, better, better, bet on it

Better bet on it, better bet on it, hey

(Walking with Jesus)

You know, you know better

Better, better, better, bet, bet on it

Bet on it, ayy, ayy, yeah

Ayy, yeah

I wanna sing, I wanna

I wanna sing, ooh

(Just tell 'em, tell 'em that)

Ah, cool

(Walking with Jesus Christ)

(Walking with the Lord)
