Lose Control
Almost Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Over dosage, and we flowi'n just like ocean's motion
We makin' that mixture of hits, we call it magic potion
I'm going out my mind and we still DIY
So when you need to find the rhythm with the meter, well it's on that time
And we still on the grind, NYC to the Georgia line
It's so important, I'm banging out beats 'til the world is mine
I know that's sounding lame, but I really wanna make a change
And make the newest thing something that I know you'll sing 
I think we far from vain
Make it all swing likes it's off the chain
Hip hop's the blood in me but the rock 'n roll supplies my brain
I'm so exhausted man, ain't got a free minute to be offering
There ain't no altering and everyone in the place ought to sing
This hook

Chorus:
I said bounce for the encore
Overseas and on shore
Now I think they feeling on me
I said sing it with your hands up
Now it's time to stand up
Now I think they feeling on me
I just wanna rock
I just wanna roll
I just wanna... la la la lose control
I just wanna rock
I just wanna roll
I just wanna... la la la lose control

Open dopeness so we soldiers
And they afraid to approach us
We slappin' them contacts in
Because we need to focus
We spread it like the locus
We cleaner then all the soap is
Watch for the hotness popping up quick 'cuz now they know they toasted
Over bearing, daring, scaring
We making these people weary
No need to run and hide, we sweeter than all the cherries
And all this envy varies
They carry haters here
But I hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, dear
And I really wanna make this clear so you can see the light
'Cuz I was born with more drive then a Ducati bike
So when we outtie 5, we leaving out on top
Let the beat roll hard enough that we guarantee the chorus drop
Like this
