Marching Band
by Tjaka
Verse 1: Jake Fabila
I’m wired up like an antenna
I got my head in the loop like a bandana
You wanna take our place? You better plan better
We are ready for war, it’s a vendetta
From the battlefield to the command centre
My patrol looking for the fake friend getters
You know the fake, conversational trendsetters
In this plastic world
It’s the land of the lost
But we got found by the cops
Me and my bala Soue ran down by the shops
Blue and red lights flashing us up so we jumped in the truck
Hit the gas then we’re off
Now
Fast forward 3 years we’re jumping on stages
Not running from coppers we’re running from labels
The ones tryna take our tracks for cheap wages
Tryna get the money like Vegas
So we go on vacations
Feet in the sand
But my mind in a spaceship
Travelling adjacent
To the International Space Station
We call that global engagement
Chorus
We on the move
Marching band
We’ll be getting there soon
Promised land
Making them lose it
Shed to the unit
On to the next
Execute that plan
We on the move
Marching band
We’ll be getting there soon
Promised land
Making them lose it
Shed to the unit
On to the next
Execute that plan
Verse 2: Geoff Fabila
Welcome to the jungle, yes I’m on my Tash shit
People think they know me, I’mma show another facet
Never been bored, we out here doing mad shit
We ain’t making hits, we make classics
Like Beethoven, we going down in history
Gat Didj-rap sounds, sounds like a mystery
What’s this trickery? Sweet like hickory
What’s that sound like? Sounds like victory
Let me remind you we’re in the jungle
Keep your eyes open, never one to stumble
Float like a butterfly, sting like bumble
Look a tiger in the eye, always ready to rumble
What’s the diff between prey and predator?
One’s coolin’ and the other is sweatin’ more
Not a competition only one is competitor
Life is a movie, and I am the editor
Bridge
Lethal like a weapon
Spot sounds like leopard
On the mic I be checking
On stage I be wrecking
On top never threatened
On myself always betting
Workout never sweating
Promise land we be heading
Lethal like a weapon
Spot sounds like leopard
On the mic I be checking
On stage I be wrecking
On top never threatened
On myself always betting
Workout never sweating
Promise land we be heading
Chorus
We on the move
Marching band
We’ll be getting there soon
Promised land
Making them lose it
Shed to the unit
On to the next
Execute that plan
We on the move
Marching band
We’ll be getting there soon
Promised land
Making them lose it
Shed to the unit
On to the next
Execute that plan
