ODESZA
III. Nick of Time... (MCMXCI)
Hook)
Crystal ball, what’s the future show?
Only, I don’t know
All the ways that this night could go
Only we don’t know
(Verse I.)
It’s like the nick of time
That you did arrive
Did my time
And I did my crime
If this is what I get
It’s not too Sublime
Since life is too short
I wanna get mine
Opportunity is knocking
I see this as a sign
Crawled out the window
That was some climb
Being young and dumb
I think I’m in my prime
Someone stop the clocks
Cuz The Kid’s arriven
The party don’t stop
No, isn’t ending
No, it’s just beginning
So let’s get to drinking
I’m feeling quite tipsy
I might start singing
Say you know some friends
So I hope you bring ‘em
And I’ve been drinking like I’m Irish
So I might kiss ‘em
They say The Kid is being childish
So they start to diss him
But they know I’m looking stylish
So they start to miss him
All my damies you can line up by the restroom
All my ladies, you can line up by the bedroom
That’s less dudes, and more headroom
For the Kid to do what he came to do
Break my legs, and I’m still kicking
Take away my keys, and I’m still driven
Knock me down I’m way too resilient
The night is young, so we go unscripted
(Hook)
Crystal ball, what’s the future show?
Only I don’t know
All the ways that this night could go
Only we don’t know
(Verse II.)
Trip of the tongue, was an acid-dent
Slip of the tongue, that’s an accident
Slick with my tongue, this is assonance
Got my hand wide open, put your ass in it
So she’s mad again, she’s not having it
She said “Kid, you’re being too crass again..”
But…
I’m out my shell now
No ninja turtle
Watch Remy hurtle
Over the hedge
So keep up with my pace
I know it’s over-said
But…
I found myself in this rap shit
If life’s ass is fat, I’m gonna tap it
Till she taps out or I black out
Till she’s maxed out and I’m passed out
They say The Kid is just acting out
Had the odds against me, they were stacked out
But no more underdog and that’s facts now
The boys sparked a blunt, and so they pass it now
Put my foot in mouth, I’ll run the track the track now
Fate has paged me, so I’ll fax her now
My letter to the Universe, so I stamp it out
