TRANSIT - Power Outage lyrics
rate me<b>Power Outage</b> by <i>TRANSIT</i><br />[Verse 1:]
Supposed to play at ten now we're playing at one
Sound check sounds sick we creating a buzz
Setting up the merch table and the turntables
Got the quarter inch cables, laptop sounds phat like kankles
Ask the kitchen "Can I get me some fish and chips? Reminds me of the Island, and lately I've been missing it
She said "Sure thing! It's on the house! Just make sure you kill it with those words from your mouth"
Didn't get much sleep we slept in a Chevy
Loaded in the amps, why those things so heavy?
We're indie, we don't have any roadies
But no label means that we don't act phoney!
[Chorus:]
I rap in a power outage don't need a microphone I can rap without it
Let me scream, till I have none left
We ain't leaving this venue till we see the sunrise
[Verse 2:]
The first band sounded like Chad Kroeger and they said they had a sick beat for me to rap over
At this point, I'm kinda sketched out
But I said "Yea sure thing, I'll check it out"
Then I walked away awkwardly, That girl was at my last show stalking me!
How do I go from being un-noticed, to all these girls telling me that they wanna be my next chorus?
That's just part of being a musician, when you get on that stage people tend to look at you different
But I'm still the same Daniel from Saanich, on tour they call me Transit
I'm here to reek havoc!
[Chorus:]
I rap in a power outage don't need a microphone I can rap without it
Let me scream, till I have none left
We ain't leaving this venue till we see the sunrise
[Verse 3:]
30 minutes before we go on
Check the beats one more time make sure nothing's wrong
You hear the sound of the Not For Clubs trumpets
Crowd is reacting, people seem to love it
All of a sudden it goes pitch black
No lights, no signs, and worst of all no tracks
This isn't what we dreamed up, how do we do a show when nobody can see us?
I got déjà vu being in a park, 16 with my friends freestyling in the dark
I said "Let's rock this thing like a cypher I don't need stage lights just get out your lighters! "
[Chorus:]
I rap in a power outage don't need a microphone I can rap without it
Let me scream, till I have none left
We ain't leaving this venue till we see the sunrise
