...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Years?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
I might check the mic or I might check on you
Ever since I saw you, I knew I couldn’t choose.
Between anybody else, you’re the only one who can light my fuse.
With that being said, I’m a time bomb ticking
If your getting close to me, they better run like the dickens
But it’s fine if you get close because I know I ain’t no chicken
Seeing your lips on New Year’s Eve, I’m destined to kiss em
Pass your boy the mic
Aiming straight at the target
I’m the marksman
Put ‘em in a coffin
I’m chilling and relex
Bitch don’t fucking worry
Why you in a hurry?
I’m tryna get McFlurries, uh
Squinting eyes are blurring, but it’s almost 20/20
Had a few too many and this shit is super funny
Where the hells the money?Jigsaw heehaw
Waiting til it’s midnight, but we up ‘til 4:20
What’s going on...
...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Years?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
Grind up some weed
Time to get it packin’
Like pacquiao
When it comes to smackin’
Let’s take a trip
No backpackin’
Asking acid tabs
If you asking
I am the one who’s releasing the kraken
With these 8 limbs I’m Muay tai taskin’
Son of Michel with the beat, like an assassin
Think that is it like a blunt I’m passing
Yo DK, pass the blunt this way
What crackin’?
Hit up all the hynas
Let’s get shit brackin’
2020 coming, hopefully mean more stackin’ the bread
I’m tryna rap to this shit instead of waking up to a 9-5 Shit I dread
Rather wake up to some head in my bed
Let’s make a switch back to some New Year’s Eve shit
Bitch we about to get lit
What’s going on?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
Now I’m back, but not for long, I’m like a rental.
I’m a tooth being pulling from it’s roots, like it’s dental
Heavy ass beat, bass is rude, nothing’s gentle
Can’t hold me down, when the journey’s sentimental
Flipping the wrist so I can’t see the quartz
Staring at my watch so long, my eyes gave in to Rigor Mortise
My tongue is spitting out metaphorical speech of course, and before the clock strikes midnight, imma make sure that you hear this chorus
What’s going on...
...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Years?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Years?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year?
What’s going on...
...for the New Years?
What’s going on...
...for the New Year’s?
What’s going on, on New Year’s Eve?

What is happening, specifically on New Year's Eve?
I might check the mic or I might check on you
I might test the microphone or I might see how you are doing
To see what you are doing and avoid the New Years blues
To observe your activities and prevent feeling sad during New Year's
Ever since I saw you, I knew I couldn’t choose.
Since the moment I met you, I was unable to choose anyone else
Between anybody else, you’re the only one who can light my fuse.
Compared to everyone else, you are the only one who excites me
With that being said, I’m a time bomb ticking
Given that statement, I am a ticking time bomb
If your getting close to me, they better run like the dickens
If someone gets near me, they should run as fast as possible
But it’s fine if you get close because I know I ain’t no chicken
However, it is okay if you get close because I am not a coward
Seeing your lips on New Year’s Eve, I’m destined to kiss em
When I see your lips on New Year's Eve, I am meant to kiss them
Pass your boy the mic
Give me the microphone
Aiming straight at the target
Directly targeting something
I’m the marksman
I am the skilled shooter
Put ‘em in a coffin
Cause their defeat or end their existence
I’m chilling and relex
I am relaxing and being calm
Bitch don’t fucking worry
Don't worry, you
Why you in a hurry?
Why are you rushing?
I’m tryna get McFlurries, uh
I am trying to obtain McFlurries (ice cream dessert)
Squinting eyes are blurring, but it’s almost 20/20
My narrowed eyes are becoming blurry, but it is almost perfect vision (clear)
Had a few too many and this shit is super funny
I have consumed excessive amounts and this situation is extremely amusing
Where the hells the money?Jigsaw heehaw
Where is the money? (expressing confusion)
Waiting til it’s midnight, but we up ‘til 4:20
Waiting until it is midnight, but we are awake until 4:20 AM
Grind up some weed
Prepare marijuana by grinding it
Time to get it packin’
Now it is time to pack it up
Like pacquiao
Like the professional boxer Manny Pacquiao
When it comes to smackin’
When it comes to hitting or striking
Let’s take a trip
Let's go on a journey
No backpackin’
Without carrying backpacks
Asking acid tabs
Inquiring about LSD (a drug in tab form)
If you asking
If you are wondering
I am the one who’s releasing the kraken
I am the one who is causing chaos or releasing something powerful
With these 8 limbs I’m Muay tai taskin’
Using my eight limbs in the style of Muay Thai (combat sport)
Son of Michel with the beat, like an assassin
Like a skilled killer, I dominate the beat as Michel's son
Think that is it like a blunt I’m passing
Consider this as the end, similar to passing a rolled marijuana cigarette
Yo DK, pass the blunt this way
Hey DK, hand me the marijuana cigarette
What crackin’?
What's happening?
Hit up all the hynas
Contact all the attractive women
Let’s get shit brackin’
Let's get things going or start some action
2020 coming, hopefully mean more stackin’ the bread
The year 2020 is approaching, hopefully indicating increased financial success
I’m tryna rap to this shit instead of waking up to a 9-5 Shit I dread
I am trying to pursue a career in rap rather than working a regular 9 to 5 job that I dislike
Rather wake up to some head in my bed
I would prefer to wake up with someone performing oral sex in my bed
Let’s make a switch back to some New Year’s Eve shit
Let's change the topic to New Year's Eve activities
Bitch we about to get lit
We are about to have a great time
Now I’m back, but not for long, I’m like a rental.
I have returned, but my presence is temporary, just like a rented item
I’m a tooth being pulling from it’s roots, like it’s dental
I am a tooth being extracted from its roots, as if in a dental procedure
Heavy ass beat, bass is rude, nothing’s gentle
The beat is strong and aggressive, the bass is unapologetic, and nothing is soft or mellow
Can’t hold me down, when the journey’s sentimental
You cannot restrain or suppress me when the experience or emotions are deeply meaningful
Flipping the wrist so I can’t see the quartz
I am turning my wrist so I cannot see the watch's quartz movement
Staring at my watch so long, my eyes gave in to Rigor Mortise
I have been looking at my watch for so long that my eyes have become tired
My tongue is spitting out metaphorical speech of course, and before the clock strikes midnight, imma make sure that you hear this chorus
I am expressing symbolic or figurative words with my tongue, and before it becomes midnight, I will make sure you hear this repeated section of a song
