[Intro]

Tribal Singing from the Surma People of Ethiopia

It’s AJ

It’s AJ

It’s AJ

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Ohh-oh-oh-ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ohhhh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

Check it

Burn in the heat ‘til its hopeless

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Simmer in the sea of devotion

Slave to the rhythm and the motion

So crisp

Clean in the ocean

Contrast smooth as lotion

Dig in your heels in this sweat box toasted

Lean on your own sin not understanding

Death in the air so you living like you won't be lasting

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Coming home to roost as we feast on the notion

Anxiety in the air its roasting

Turned to boasting

What would you do with your lips chapped

No words left?

No time for the get back

One last moment in your mind for the last dance

Seeing all red like beams on a CAT scan

Never tiptoe on my feet, never tap dance

[Chorus]

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

No time for boasting

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Everybody get in motion

Everybody get in motion

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Everybody get in motion

Everybody get in motion

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

[Verse 2]

She ride it like a moped

Last night out I won’t dread

Even my name I want more said

Feeling like a code red

Head still high and I won’t beg

Scowl at the reaper he got no dead

Don’t tread on me

I got more fight

Fist held high from the off-right

Sock a nazi bitch ‘til he off white

Walk light

Peeking in my window and I scoff, right

Deep down America is not right

Hands on your knees for the solstice

World never ends it’s a season we soak in

Circle the wagon ‘til it’s broken

Spend every token

All we have now is commotion

‘Til we meet again in the hot sun

Disastrous times for a lost son

Wading in the waves like a hot tub

But we not done

But we not done

[Chorus]

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Everybody get in motion

Everybody get in motion

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

Hands on your knees for the solstice

[Bridge]

Death of the summer

Death of the summer

End of the cycle born anew

What will you do?

Death of the summer

End of the world as

All will have known it

How about you?

Will you lose?

[Outro]

Rome wasn’t built in a day

But it was lost in a moment

Roam like a ghost in the fray

Weep at the cost of your moment

Home is a peace gone astray

You think we’d avoid the disaster

Even the greatest can fall

All’s left is hubris and laughter

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
