Story behind the song
Our buddy, Jared, over at M.J. Productions was filming an extreme sports Motocross video series and asked us to put together some tunes for it. We went into the studio a few days later and came up with this. Since then, our sponsors over at SMP America (www.smpamerica), C1RCA, Four Star, and Spy Optic have all praised this song saying that it is the epitome of a hard rock, extreme sports tune. We'd like to say 'wat up' to all the peeps in da house that support us and our sponsors... without you and them, we would most likely still be in our garage, writing love ballads and looking at pictures of naked, 80 year old women.
Lyrics
Intro:
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
You can never hold me down.
You can never hold me back.
You can never hold me down.
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
Verse 1:
I ain’t got no time for fear.
No… time to bleed all soldiers in here.
No… time for games. See, I still won’t change.
Deranged; spit raw when I’m up in your range.
Some might be mad about a line like that.
But, the fact is I’m back killin’ marks on wax.
Put in time and I’m fine with the adrenaline rush.
It’s my life on the stage with a mic and a blunt.
Bridge 1:
I see you in my rear view and…
…you’re steadily fading.
Chorus:
You can never hold me down.
You can never hold me back.
You can never hold me down.
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
You can never hold me back.
You can never hold me down.
You can never hold me back.
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
Verse 2:
I reside on the other side..
…of rhyme. The reason being I’m too free to hide.
Never will! Tone is ill.
I create the fate while you spin around the wheel.
I celebrate each day to the fullest…
…and integrate these rhymes cause I knew this…
…would have to be tight like my family dog.
Laying it down like blue prints for us to draw.
Bridge 2:
And, you’ll fall so far and so low for…
…for trying to break me.
Chorus:
You can never hold me down.
You can never hold me back.
You can never hold me down.
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
You can never hold me down.
You can never hold me back.
You can never hold me down.
Adrenaline rush! Take me to the other side!
Bridge 3:
I see you in my rear view and…
…you’re steadily fading.
And, you’ll fall so far and so low for…
…for trying to break me.
Interlude 1:
Don’t you even think of letting go.
Lose your sights and I’ll be all up on you.
Just think, “what if you lose control?”
You spin out as I fly right by you.
Once you look into the light you’ll look into it too long become blinded as you fall out of the cycle now so far behind.
And, even though you wish it weren’t so…
…your dreams are passin’ you on high.
Crumble… Kiss life goodbye…
…goodbye…
…goodbye.
I guess I’ll see you on the other side.
Interlude 2:
And, I’m a die high.
And, I’m a sky rhyme.
And, I’m a’ be a soldier marching on these front lines.
It’s either do-or-die…
…before the fall of pride.
The more I stop to think about it the more we out of time.
Just look what we have here…
…as close as it is near.
Front line fighters with enough drive to last past a full tank of gas…
…fit for an ocean liner.
Plus, a-hundred-meter-dash.
And, still have enough energy to run through…
…break through and blast!
Goodbye…
…goodbye…
…goodbye.
I guess I’ll see you on the other side.
Goodbye…
…goodbye…
I guess I’ll see you on the other side.
