Something for Nothing - Heiruspecs

Verse 1: Felix

The dirty ceiling needs a cleaning

Floors been beat

I stand for hours before the show, band pictures on the wall

Load the gear in, feeling like I know I’m not far from home

But this place feels really different from St. Paul

It ain’t all sting, my friends are around me

My cell phone headphones, band and microphone

I haven’t eaten' nothing but a continental breakfast

Thank Motel 6 for throwing a dog a bone

One can hardly feel alone with all these pictures

Press shots, you know the ones that you are supposed to sign

Tonight the stage is ours, we don’t have that picture

That picture ain’t us, I’ll make the memory shine

(DOORS) hey Mr. DJ

Would you flip it like the loser at a bullfight

Spin it like tequila just a little bite

Twist it like a doorknob, let’s start the night

The extended family is the crowd and they’re here

You’re here skeptical at first, but I’m glad you cheer

I don’t get stage fright but Twinkie gets nervous

DVRG dons the glasses and towel commence service

Chorus: Muad’Dib

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that’s the truth

Man, I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain’t no way ya’ll are getting something for nothing

Visualize and Execute, that’s it, keep moving

We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth

Man, I wanna see everybody jumping

We can’t let y’all get something for nothing

Verse 2: Felix

Hey, on stage I pace like a tiger,

Yes Felix is a cat, I’ve got cats at home

I know exactly how they feel looking out the window

My windows on the stage just your side of the microphone

I’m looking at you, feel the eyes burning

Intensity is building unconcerned with any person

It’s just the mass that counts

Make 'em bounce till the sweat oozes out

Don’t leave 'em one ounce

Stalk your crew like animals mindset

Take a little breath, share a few of those words with you and yours

Let me pace my space maybe you’ll see 'em feed me

I promise you before the end you’ll see me roar

Chorus: Muad’Dib

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that’s the truth

I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain’t no way ya’ll are getting something for nothing

Visualize and Execute, that’s it, keep moving

We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth

I wanna see everybody jumping

We can’t let y’all get something for nothing

Verse 3: Felix

Day to day drama weighs down my shoulders

I’m just too generous with limits

A sucker born every minute they say

Maybe I’m a sucker but at least I’m not timid

Push the gimmicks to the left, integrity to the right

Look through the middle at the floor, feel the stomach roar

This is still about the vibe in this place

I step to show them

I’m realer than Chris Rock’s hair in CB4

I see the door, but leaving means defeat

If I take a seat the local sharks will think that I’m weak

I’ve done this before.

Shit, you’ve done this before

So you know that’s all to do, hold it down like a bungee chord

On stage there’s an education to be had

The front row wants to teach you they want it that bad

The middle wants to nod their heads and give approval

The soundman teaches mic technique and wants your removal

Now there’s work and there’s play

There’s worse and OK

On a perfect day I can do both

Some days my teachers put me at the front of the class

Other days I do all my work but they’re still at my throat

This is the kind of night when they raise the lights

The drinking don’t stop it just moves outside

BYOB-bring your own bullshit

I’ll stay indoors I learned a lot

Thanks for the ride

Chorus: Muad’Dib

Stand up, stretch, hit the roof

Bounce off the walls and shake the rafters loose, that’s the truth

I want to see somebody jumpin'

Ain’t no way ya’ll are getting something for nothing

Visualize and Execute, that’s it, keep moving

We told you its not worse than pulling a tooth

I wanna see everybody jumping

We can’t let y’all get something for nothing
