Set It Off
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics

To all the people in the house tonight,
Addressing everyone who is present in the venue

Can ya feel me?
Asking if the audience can resonate and connect with the artist

To those who live under the street lights at night,
Referring to people who have a tough life and live under difficult circumstances

Come on and check this out,
Inviting the audience to witness something exciting

We bout to set this off
Preparing the audience for the upcoming electrifying performance

Here come the drums
Announcing the start of the performance with the drum beats

When I let loose,
Starting on a powerful note and unleashing one's inner energy

I come out blazin',
Performing with ferocity and bursting with passion

I maintain mannin' all stations,
Being alert on all fronts and ready to deal with any situation

Fully prepared for all situations,
Being ready to tackle any challenge or potential hurdle that may arise

We blow tracks like shrapnel, with the rap skill,
Rapping with such force and intensity that it feels explosive and impactful

Shoot to kill, not for thrills, I got an iron grip.
Going all out and giving it the best shot, but with a controlled and firm approach

That's the sound we make, no mistake keep the floor warm,
Creating a distinct sound and making sure the audience is captivated and engaged

From town to town and state to state,
Touring and performing in different places and regions

And yo, we rock da set like an earthquake
Performing with such vigor and force that it feels like an earthquake has hit

Hold it tight too, and too, I just saw,
Holding on tight and being alert and aware of the surroundings

Strapped to my knife boots..
Having a sense of danger and preparedness, as depicted by the metaphorical knife boots

We bump tracks like a fifteens the flavors me,
Producing tracks that are diverse and versatile, just like the 15 flavors of a soda

And chill like light when it flows through my brain stream,
Rapping with ease and letting the words flow naturally like a stream of thoughts

Ready to fit the script twice when I get nice,
Being quick and efficient in producing music even when inspired only once

Equally precise, hits you open like head lice,
Writing and delivering lyrics with accuracy and impact, like the annoying presence of head lice

This time around we're here to let it be known,
Making a statement about the artist's intentions and presence

Thousand Foot be the kings of this microphone,
Asserting the artist's dominance and control over the microphone and the music industry

Out to all the people in the house tonight,
Addressing the listeners again in a more specific manner

We're gonna keep on rockin' 'till the broad daylight,
Promising to keep the performance going all night long without stopping

So just listen to the sounds comin' through this mic,
Encouraging the audience to pay attention to the music

We're gonna do this right, do this right.
Pledging to perform the best way possible and entertain the audience

Set it off!!
Encouraging the audience to groove and enjoy the moment

Fire it up like NASA,
Starting the performance like a NASA rocket launch, with great excitement and energy

Rockin' it to your ghetto blaster,
Delivering the music with such force and passion that it feels like it's coming from a powerful stereo system

You're quick we're faster,
Showing the artist's agility and speed in performing music

We got the skills to out last ya,
Being confident in the artist's ability to perform better and longer than the competition

My mentality stays open,
Maintaining a receptive, open-minded attitude towards music and life in general

And if everything's cool, I'm hopin',
Expecting a good, smooth performance if everything goes as planned

To leave this microphone smokin'
Using the microphone with such fire and passion that it feels like it's smoking

Hope your ready,
Preparing the audience for the upcoming performance

My whole team can rock steady,
Being able to perform at a consistent level, together with the rest of the artist's team

Makin' noise with my boys,
Producing loud, energetic music together with the artist's colleagues

And watchin' out for poison,
Being wary of negative influences or distractions during the performance

My main objective is to stand for what I believe,
Having a specific, strong stance and message to deliver through the music

Maybe hear the sounds of the guillotine,
Referring to the possibility of facing negative consequences for standing up for one's beliefs

We drop, hit, electrify,
Producing and delivering music that is powerful, impactful, and exciting

And to all the weak minded till the next in line,
Challenging and pushing the audience to broaden their horizons and try different types of music

Here we made it in our accord,
Announcing the artist's independent achievements and success

Ready to spawn,
Being ready to create and perform more music in the future

Used to go on and on,
Referring to past achievements and success in music

But now we just drop bombs,
Focusing on the present and delivering impactful music, like dropping bombs

Just keep on rockin' and don't stop,
Encouraging the audience to keep enjoying and dancing to the music without stopping

Keep rockin' and don't stop
Repeating the message and the encouragement to the audience
