friction off (feat. Bennett Duncan)
[Intro]
All I ever wanted was for science to be rational
Not fantastical
Give me what I'm asking for
(grunt)
[Chorus]
It's not enough
Few solid forces left
But it's not enough
Few vectors that could really move
But it's not enough
Know you 'tryna disprove
But it's not enough
I 'been 'tryna move
Know this friction 'tryna stop me
I been 'tryna play some hoop
Yeah I know these forces got me
I'll take ya way back, yeah watch me do it
I'ma ride this bike all thanks to Newton
Like what!
[Verse]
I'm like what he on?
He said natural force
I said, well you not wrong
This is not a song
This a science lesson
Man they got me going
Newton was the man baby
You don't understand baby?
Let me break it down, just simply cause I can baby
Teach you something if you need correction thats the plan, baby
I keep the ball dribbling in my own hands baby, what?
Yeah turn this friction off
They know I got inertia, yeah don't you get involed
(Yeah, what hey?)
How many I explain? How 'bout all?
Take a risk, but I ain't tripping, know I'll say it for my dog
(For my dog)
This the first, that inertia gotta keep the boy moving
The ball stay in the air, 'cause that's how I'm shooting
(How I'm shooting)
Ay, what's up though?
When it comes to talking science know that I am the pro
(What!?)
[Chorus]
It's not enough
Few solid forces left
But it's not enough
Few vectors that could really move
But it's not enough
Know you 'tryna disprove
But it's not enough
I 'been 'tryna move
Know this friction 'tryna stop me
I been 'tryna play some hoop
Yeah I know these forces got me
I'll take ya way back, yeah watch me do it
I'ma ride this bike all thanks to Newton
Like what!
[second part]
[Intro]
(Huh?)
(Wait, huh?)
(Ay!)
(Emry on the beat yo!)
Motion!
Newton writing facts, yeah somebody gotta prove it
Put my foot up on the gas, know a force is gonna move it
Turn this friction off, turn this friction off (Off)
Turn this friction off, turn this friction off (Off)
Turn this friction off, turn this friction off (Off)
Turn this friction off, turn this friction off (Off)
(laughter)
