Heiruspecs - Something For Nothing lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1: Felix]

The dirty ceiling needs a cleanin', floors been beat

I stand for hours before the show, band pictures on the wall

Load the gear in, feelin' like I know I'm not far from home

But this place feels really different from St. Paul

It ain't all sting, my friends are around me

My cell phone, headphones, band, and microphone

I haven't eaten' nothing but a continental breakfast

Thanks to Motel 6 for throwin' a dog a bone

One can hardly feel alone with all these pictures

Press shots, you know the ones that you're supposed to sign

Tonight the stage is ours, we don't have that picture

That picture ain't us, I'll make the memory shine

(Doors) Hey Mr. DJ

Would you flip it like the loser at a bullfight?

Spin it like tequila with just a little bite?

Twist it like a doorknob? Let's start the night

The extended family is the crowd and they're here

You're skeptical at first, but I'm glad that you cheer

I don't get stage fright but Twinkie gets nervous

dVRG dons the glasses and commence service

[Hook: Muad'Dib]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth

Man I wanna see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are gettin' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep movin'

We told you it's not worse than pullin' a tooth

Man I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'

[Verse 2: Felix]

On stage I pace like a tiger

Yes, Felix is a cat and I've got cats at home

I know exactly how they feel when they lookin' out the window

My windows on the stage just your side of the microphone

I'm lookin' at you, feel the eyes burnin'

Intensity is buildin', unconcerned with any person

It's just the mass that counts

Make 'em bounce till the sweat oozes out

Don't leave 'em with one ounce

Stalk your crew like ya animal's mindset

Take a little breath and share a few of those words with you and yours

Let me pace my space, maybe you'll see 'em feed me

I promise you before the end you'll see me roar

[Hook: Muad'Dib]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth

Man I wanna see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are getting' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep movin'

We told you it's not worse than pullin' a tooth

Man I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'

[Verse 3: Felix]

Day-to-day drama weighs down my shoulders

I'm just too generous with limits

A sucker born every minute, they say

Maybe I'm a sucker but at least I'm not timid

Push the gimmicks to the left, integrity is to the right

Look through the middle at the floor, feel the stomach roar

This is still about the vibe in this place

Show them, I'm realer than Chris Rock's hair in CB4

I see the door but then leavin' means defeat

If I take a seat the local sharks will think that I'm weak

I've done this before, shit you've done this before

So you know that's all to do is hold it down like a bungee cord

On stage there's an education to be had

The front row wants to teach you when they want it that bad

The middle wants to nod their heads and give approval

Soundman teaches mic technique and wants your removal

Now there's work and there's play, there's worse and OK

And on a perfect day I can do both

Some days my teachers put me at the front of the class

Other days I do all of my work and yet they're still in my throat

This is the kind of night that when they raise the lights

The drinkin' doesn't stop it just moves outside

BYOB: "bring your own bullshit"

I'll stay indoors, I learned a lot

Thanks for the ride

[Hook: Muad'Dib]

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that's the truth

Man I wanna see somebody jumpin'

Ain't no way y'all are gettin' somethin' for nothin'

Visualize and execute, that's it, keep movin'

We told you it's not worse than pullin' a tooth

Man I wanna see everybody jumpin'

We can't let y'all get somethin' for nothin'
