about
Damn- You’ve gone and done
made a mess of things again
You better button up
And fix this whole fiasco
and bad predicament
Devil’s knocking
There’s no stock in
What you say now
You are made of
A whole lotta promise
But your time is
Gonna run out
Man - you don’t know what the hell
I’ve been going through
You better button up and
Get your act together
‘Fore hell will come for you
And devils knocking
There’s no stock in
What you say now
You are made of
A whole lotta promise
But your time is
Gonna run out
Button up
Button up top
Keep it clean
And you’re feeling pristine
Tighten up your living method
So you’re bless-ed Sistine
type of chapel Michelangelo
The ship is listing
All hands are on the deck
We’re cardiac arresting
All about a changing of the guard
You’re tired of just being
Otherwise you’re too casual
from the get go
You’re Lapsing in the memory
And getting too forgetful
Once you get a grip
You gotta promise not to let go
Stressed out, so button up
And get it off your chest yo
Devils at the crossroads
He’s waiting for the fret show
Nerves are creeping up
But yo you never let the sweat show
Devils knocking let him wait
But that can get regretful
made a mess of things again
You better button up
And fix this whole fiasco
and bad predicament
Devil’s knocking
There’s no stock in
What you say now
You are made of
A whole lotta promise
But your time is
Gonna run out
Man - you don’t know what the hell
I’ve been going through
You better button up and
Get your act together
‘Fore hell will come for you
And devils knocking
There’s no stock in
What you say now
You are made of
A whole lotta promise
But your time is
Gonna run out
Button up
Button up top
Keep it clean
And you’re feeling pristine
Tighten up your living method
So you’re bless-ed Sistine
type of chapel Michelangelo
The ship is listing
All hands are on the deck
We’re cardiac arresting
All about a changing of the guard
You’re tired of just being
Otherwise you’re too casual
from the get go
You’re Lapsing in the memory
And getting too forgetful
Once you get a grip
You gotta promise not to let go
Stressed out, so button up
And get it off your chest yo
Devils at the crossroads
He’s waiting for the fret show
Nerves are creeping up
But yo you never let the sweat show
Devils knocking let him wait
But that can get regretful
