Forklifts Lyrics by Ryan Kopperud

The Polar Bear Rug

2015

[Verse 1]
The only signs I’ve ever seen said to Detour Here
It’s too near for me to feel it, I just listen and steer
And I prolly shouldn’t be driving, I’m sorry I'm not abiding
By the rules or best practices, things to keep me alive
Promised I wouldn’t make it, I promise they’ll have to break it
Every day I wake up, world is mine for the takin’
They talking that cockamamie, I’m jocking that vodka, save me
Y’all still miss that bigger picture, the pixels are fucking grainy
They made me in the 80’s, back then I was a baby
Now I rarely use my safety, cock back, fire shaky
Call me a loose cannon, baby I do too
Most days I can’t remember if I’ve got something to lose
I’m fist-fighting over pints, I’d like the chance t o make a buck
Most of y’all are either wack, old, boring, or fake as fuck
Running at breakneck, plenty testing my luck
Still constantly considering whether I do enough

[Hook]
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t
Nah, I know I do

[Verse 2]
This life is of men or mices, I put together the pieces
I would never hang a chain around my neck displaying Jesus
I been acting unfavorable, thinking I’m not savable
Been working God damn hard, this shit is not debatable
So what you want, a cookie?
To them you still a rookie, fine, I’m betting on myself
Shit, I’ll be my own bookie
Cop and flopping the option, I’m knocking on doors and walkin'
Down this path until these people stop, drop, and get to watchin'
I’ll be a beast on the screen, and keep to speaking what I mean
Preach a little bit and lean, okay I tried Promethazine
But it never spoke to needs, always been trying to speed
You show me them brake lights, I flash brights and I careen
Thin line, carefree, you could spare me bare feet
I’m rocking them shit kickers, sip liquor they stare at me
Fine with the prying eyes, I’m riding to my demise
And I ain’t never been scared of using eight of nine lives

[Hook]
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t, I know I do
I prolly don’t
Nah, I know I do
(nah, I know I do, nah, nah, I know I do)
