Doomtree Lyrics
[Mike]
Doomtree Bangarang
All these rappers sound the same
Beats?
Sound the same
Raps?
Sound the same
Wings
Fan the flames
Teeth
with the fangs
10 years in our lane
Doomtree Bangarang
[P.O.S.]
When it breaks...
When it breaks we'll know it's time
We'll know it's up to us to fix it
When it aches to make its mind we'll pick it
Til then we'll steer it
Get us near
we'll swim the distance
Fear after persistence
Kin by cuts with all decisions lived with
Can't live without by now
that's why we sound so loud
Couple down
All respect allowed the rest could never doubt
Options offered often
Toss em to the chop em block em hostile dodge em
Keep watch what I've been rockin
Whole team with a grip got it
No polish
[Mike]

[Cecil]
Now underneath this canopy
crumbling insanity
Bellies rumbling hungering for the fantasy
Had to see something come from them
Had to be crushing savagely
Not your average everyday
Nothing short of a masterpiece
And the tortures of the past are like a fortune for the future
We've been fortunate enough to know no borders
no rulers
No schools are out of session
no school's out of the question
No tools will go unused
and no fools will go unmentioned
And there's a tension in the air we're breathing
We breathe heavy
we breathe largely
Release the levy
Feel the tension in the air we're breathing
and breathe heavy
and breathe largely
Release the levy

They hate, they petty
They say we too heady, too heavy, too many, too much punk
much too drunk, too much luck, love too much
Yup
But we earned it all
All work til the curtain calls and our time is up
They ain't got enough
and it burns em up
Before tour and First Ave it was D4, T-Rock, Toki Wright, Big Chak
Way more then I'll name drop
but I got y'all but I see y'all
and I'll keep y'all when the beat stops
I built more than a rap career
I got my family here
But some punks wanna jump up
with a sharp tongue and their fronts up
like we got here by dumb luck
but they just want to become us
but that's what's up when you come up
I move like a dump truck
Too long on the road and I earn what I hold
but if you want it let me know I can burn your flow like woah

Doom. Fucking Tree. Actually the realest thing in hip hop right now. You'll figure it eventually.

You have single handedly recovered the word Bangarang from the corpse of Skrillex.

Uhhhh, Doomtree was first...

Doomtree is why I love independent music. They work so hard on their craft, run their own website, sell and package all their merch themselves and they're not doing it to become the next big thing or impress anybody but simply for the love of what they do. And they're still better than any rap garbage you hear on the radio or see on tv. Wings and Teeth!! DTR!!
