I distinctly remember playing this one when I auditioned for the band. The audition was recorded and we used the organic improv groove that became the end section of this song. Cool to think we wrote some of this track the very first time we played together.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Hey, you got me all wrong, I’m about to prove it to you but not before long, you gon’ have to wait
Wait, you got to hold fast, anything you get for free, be for sure it won’t last, go to learn to chill
Chill cuz this is real heat, rumblin the grills, up and over the hills of the real sreet blues
Blues, we all got em and the trick, not allowin them to stick to the glues of your everyday thoughts
We ought to rise and get alittle high, take a minute to fly and I’ll provide that vibe
Chorus:
Yeah, you don’t wanna miss this, Uh Uh no, you don’t wanna miss this
Get your money and, get your tickets and, get your spot quick, cuz you don’t wanna miss this
No, this is something that you definitely want to witness, You don’t wanna miss this no so
Get your camera, take your pictures, and get your spot quick, cuz you don’t wanna miss this
Verse2:
Hey, that’s what they all say, how are we supposed to know it isn’t just foreplay, I’m about to show
Show me the wrong way, I’ll show you a flow you never heard, and I bet your gonna say now that’s new
New, that’s just a city in the east, with a million police and a name so repetitive it fits
Fits, the fits of rage from sittin in a cage, you should get em on a page, maybe that’ll get you by
If not, rise and get alittle high, take a minute to fly and I’ll provide that vibe
