Urthboy - Block the Exit lyrics

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 (That's 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 eT is the entity
And none of this happened accidentally

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

No good reversing away
Been going to long to stop now (Uh, huh)
Thought I was against the grain
Startin' to see what I got now
No good reversing away
No good reversing away

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 shock-jock coward
Pissin' off rednecks, couldn't 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

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

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

See, Elefant Traks been goin' for a while now
Ain't lookin' like anything will die down
And I'm part of this industry right now
And until I put the mic down
I'll 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 ain't 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

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
No good reversing away
No good reversing away
