jay knapp - safe in sound lyrics
[verse 1]
i learned to drive stick on a runway in one day on a sunday i swear
on the tarmac with the sun blazing in a black six and a mustang
that gravel tumbled that dust sprayed i swear
…we were checking for planes in the rear-view-mirror
it’s just clear blue air, not a fear, who scared?
transmission shifting and the engine roaring
and i get to spitting when i press record
them beach days and those condo nights
we made plans and we talked all night
dreamed big but we gonna top those heights
had to make ’em mine when i saw those lights
we just praying that it all goes right
[chorus]
our minds stuck on that first high that we can’t forget
our minds stuck on that first high we ain’t caught yet
our minds stuck on that first high that we still chasing
(and i’m hot on its heels)
[verse 2]
yeah, you can catch me in hot pursuit
cause i’m on the move with a lot to prove
and a lot to say, that’s a lot to do
and anything else is just not the truth
so i get to work, just to make it better
and i take forever when i spit a verse
i know it seems that being different hurts
you wanna know a secret? being different works
and i’m not the same, i’m atop my game and i’m not afraid to keep going
on the hottest days when we got to stay just a block away from the ocean
man we’d stay up and we’d stay out
on the same streets of the same town
on the same beach where they days bleed
and those same waves with the safe sound
[chorus]
[verse 3]
it’s like i’m never not recording, and i’m hardly ever sleeping
only got a couple homies, and i hardly get to see ’em
i could blame it on the distance, i could blame it on the business
i got a lot of sh-t to balance, and it’s hard to get it even
but i’ma keep at it and keep snapping, y’all keep quiet just relax
and keep back when you see knapp, it’s no freebies and no free p-sses i swear
…man they keep asking and keep asking
i speed past with my seat back and that heat blasting and the team packed in i swear
if i don’t know the number i ignore the call
now i’m feeling better than a florida fall
my parents probably wish they heard more from me
but yo j-ville i wish i heard more from y’all
this is your boarding call, i need support from y’all
just tell me what, i’ll do more for y’all
when i write in gaines or record with paul
you know i always think back to that door and wall
and all the time invested, i mean how could i forget?
and this is not the time to test it, that’s something y’all just might regret
but i been feeling kinda reckless, so i’m inviting threats
cause you all gon’ find me ready, and i’ma find a check
