Hard Copy Lyrics by Joseph Rose

Twisted Roots

2017

[Verse 1]
Nothing is really what it seems
We’ve all been torn apart and sewn back at the seams
I could never go back to being a normal human being
Get up and work a boring ass 9 to 5, man fuck that
I’m one of the world’s one-percenters (Yup)
An old school style trend setter and inventor (What?)
I studied my predecessors
Reinvented my formula and did it like 10 million times better
Hit the top corner with a diving header
I step on the chord, steal the show, man, I’m a go-getter
I played 95 times in a hundred days (Yeah)
I put my foot on the pedal and press Lu-play
I’m a one man band, I spin my own tracks
Midway set, I step back and play DJ (DJ)
Broken needles all over the stage-floor
Crowd-surfing on 30 thousand and more
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t judge me by my cover
Original, there ain’t no other
Platinum plaques, every summer
My circle on, they help each other
[Chorus]
Family swear on the coke
Can’t infiltrate or be broke
If you’re one of us, then you know
Raise your drink, pour, lighter smoke
[Bridge]
I came from the underground
The mainstream just got me
Keep your digital press
Give me the hard copy
[Verse 2]
I won’t just sit around and wait, ‘cause then it’s never coming
And if they come knocking, I’m not talking or running (No)
I got a lifestyle that can be exciting and anxiously numbing
I’m used to feeling important
I’m used to being watched all the time (Uh-huh)
It just started happening a lot more often once I got signed
I’ve been all the way up for a long time
But there’s still so many more mountains that I wanna climb
I’m on a fast track, gondola ride
Yeah I tipped the boss off a little bit, I hate waiting in line
Don’t get mad ‘cause I did it and you didn’t (No)
You wouldn’t last a minute if you were in this position (Nah)
I wish that I could sit around and kick it with your fam
But next month I’m filming a couple videos in Japan
On a round-trip, living and never never never land
Everywhere I go, I been 10 steps ahead of them (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Keep your digital press
Give me the hard copy
