jason cole - until you catch it lyrics

[verse]
started out skittish. 16 years old and i wrote for a joke with a close friend
we were all about the culture, but never really knew how deep we would go in
it was only for laughs at first, just to have fun and write the whackest verse
had one about robbing the ice cream man. caribou’s plan was so good it had to work
i swear. so it got me thinking
i know it’s for humor but what’s the reason?
we love hip hop and the rhythm and the art in it. why not play a bigger part in it?
that realization was the turning point between fun and passion
the moment in time when you find what you lovе and what you’re meant to do with your life is magic
all wе needed was a beat, but we didn’t have an ezra cobb or s.dot yet
gotta find a way to make it all complete ’cause i got a feeling we could be next on deck
so we did just that. downloaded a couple hundred instrumentals in my free time
spent the next 2 or 3 years tryna organize the thoughts inside of my beehive
we could do what the dudes that we look up to do if we choose to
all we gotta do is embrace the voodoo thats oozing, making us go cuckoo
then maybe some day some kids somewhere will hear what we’ve done and they’ll get inspired
if i can make somebody follow their heart then i’m proud to say that i lit the fire
[chorus]
time keeps ticking. the clock keeps spinning and the minutes all wither away
so the life i’m living will not be timid. gotta hit ’em with the rhythm today
if you just sit back nothing’s ever gonna happen
gotta tap into what you’re after and attack it until you catch it
if you just sit back nothing’s ever gonna happen
gotta rap into what you’re after and attack it until you catch it

[verse]
a couple years passed. fast forward to college
back with a passion, basking in knowledge
the real learning happened after my classes with a pen and pad and a little bit of madness
got the urge one night to take a walk around campus and try to meet another human being
a little bit out of character for me to not be sitting in a room by my lonesome accumulating dreams
ended up shooting the breeze with a kid from pittsburgh. said he raps too. his name’s jb
didn’t think much of it. everybody raps now but most of them are not real emcees
so we traded numbers and we parted ways. hit me up tomorrow if you’re trying to blaze
or maybe after psych class in the morning we can go to the basketball court if it doesn’t rain
walked back to my building, kicked my shoes off, decided i was in for the night
it wasn’t even 5 minutes ’til my phone rang. it was jesse. “what’s up? is everything alright.”
“my roommate took a girl back to the dorm. i got locked out now i can’t get in there
cool if i come down kick it for a minute? i got nowhere to go. you’re my only friend here.”
as soon as he walked in my door i played a dj premier remix instrumental
“i keep getting crooked looks but they lookin shook.” immediately showed me that he had credentials
a couple months later linked up with john mase, then i introduced them to caribou
from that point on my “times be good”. did everything together so beware the crew
[chorus x2]
