Days a week what a catastrophe

Yeah I know we got no sleep
Due to the demanding tour schedule, Troop didn't get much sleep.

But we enjoyed the applause we didn't disregard
Despite the challenging tour schedule, Troop appreciated the positive reaction of the audience and didn't take it for granted.

The ladies screamin' at our heavy duty bodyguards

We rocked hard with the mics in hand but

Late at night I look up to the moon

And I think to myself I would like to go home reall soon
Allen misses his home and family while on the road performing.

I feel the music caught up in me
Allen is passionate about music and feels it deeply.

I'm a part of the beat
Music is an integral part of Allen's life and identity.

When they bring down the lights
When a performance is over and the lights are turned off.

Another lonely night
Allen often spends his nights alone while on tour.

Just kickin' it with my music
During these lonely times, Allen finds solace in listening to and creating music.

And when the silence falls
After a performance, when there is no longer any applause or noise.

And there are no more applause
When the audience has stopped applauding and the performance is over.

Here's a little groove and you can use it
Allen shares a musical creation that he hopes others will enjoy and use for themselves.

My music
Music is a vital part of Allen's life and identity.

Now anyways from this end to that end

Troop is in the house and we'll keep you partyin'
Troop is at the performance venue to entertain and keep the audience engaged.

It didn't take us long to learn our cards

We had the headliner workin' real, real hard

Though we're tired

At any time, so understand now

So listen as I let steve tell ya

Late at night when we're all alone

A thousand girls callin' me

They're in love with what they see
Fans are attracted to Troop's appearance and musical talent.

But how could this be
Despite the attention Troop receives from fans, they may still feel lonely and disconnected at times.

When the cheering stops

And the last curtain drops
The end of the performance when the last curtain is lowered.

Here's a little groove we hope you use it
Troop shares musical inspiration that they hope will resonate with their fans.

Now when it's time to perform
When Troop is preparing to take the stage.

Believe there's more to an entertainer's life

And they still can't fade us

Take a cut from my sabre
Referring to a scene in Star Wars where a lightsaber is used to cut through objects, Reggie suggests taking inspiration from Troop members, as one would take a cut from a lightsaber.

Like Walker took from Darth Vader
Referring to the character Luke Skywalker taking on the villainous Darth Vader and coming out stronger, Reggie suggests that Troop can inspire others to do the same.
