Don't Panic
Alex Stein & K.A.L.I.L Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s like the movie ‘Contagion’
Craziness in every nation
Cover my mouth and my face
But don’t think I’m losing
My place
I’m still fighting to the top
Gotta kill me to stop
Nsync, dirty pop

Face mask and a glove
King of Pop
What I want you to do
Is think of what you ain’t done
Then forget that shit
And move to the beat, yea?
Dance. Don’t panic
Dance. Get manic!
It’s the world over?
Am I just too sober?
No updates, no four leaf clover
Tell me I just too sober!
I’m bored so I’m killin time
They told me not to go outside
Don’t let me lose my mind
Don’t let me lose my high
Panic and fear on the rise
But there’s no fear in my eyes

Space Jam, I believe I can fly
Tell dat hoe Rona, girl bye!
