Calm It Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Serengeti]

All right

When you feel

Like you just can't stop

Jumping

And bumping

When you feel

Like you just can't stop

Sending telegrams

After telegrams

And when you feel like throwing (alright)

All your books in the air

You need to catch it

Just catch it

When you feel

Like you just can't stop (can't stop)

Twisting and turning

And burning shit (wait a second, wait)

[Hook: Serengeti]

You need to calm it down

Calm it down

You need to calm it down

Calm it down

You need to calm it down

Calm it down

You need to calm it down

[Segue: Sufjan Stevens & Serengeti]

C-c-c-c-c-c-calm it down

C-c-c-c-c-c-

[Verse 2: Serengeti & Sufjan Stevens]

And when you feel (like what?)

Like you just can't stop (why's that? why's that?)

Chasing your dreams

Impossible dreams

And when you feel

Like driving your car (nope, nope)

Into a telephone pole

Just stop it

You got it (hit the brakes)

And when you feel (come on)

Like fucking shit up (yeah)

Let's fuck shit up

Let's fuck shit up (see what happens if...)

And when you feel (how do you feel?)

Like you just can't stop (my bad)

Talking shit about each other

All the time

[Hook: Serengeti]

You need to calm it down (calm it down)

Calm it down (you need to calm it down)

You need to calm it down (you need to calm it down)

You need to calm it down (calm it down)

Calm it down (yo, take it down)

You need to calm it down (fuck shit up)

Calm it down (just take it easy)

You need to calm it down

Calm it down

You need to calm it down

[Bridge: Sufjan Stevens & Serengeti]

When your fists don't fly (yeah, calm it down)

When your grips don't got (ok, calm it down)

When your twerps don't tweek (you gotta calm it down)

When your perps don't peep (all right, calm it down)

When your hips don't dip (yeah, calm it down)

And the kicks don't hit (calm it down)

When your ships don't ship (ok, calm it down)

When your life don't live (just calm it down)

When your mix don't match (how 'bout calming down?)

When your rips don't patch (take it easy)

When your keys don't lock (just relax)

When your beats don't knock (ok, ok, yeah)

When your dogs don't bite (calm it down)

When your bull don't fight (just take it easy)

When your time stands still (just calm it down)

Can you tell me how you feel? (just)

[Verse 3: Sufjan Stevens & Serengeti]

I'm on my own two feet

But I'm not standing upright

Mine is the pressure

Mine is the pain

You need to calm it down

Was it the drugs I take?

You need to calm it down

Was it ambitious outbreak?

You need to calm it down

Mine is the fury

Mine is the gain

You need to calm it down

Shall I account for peace? (it's in your favour)

You need to calm it down

Shall I resist it my way?

You got to calm it down

Minus the glory (you got to calm it down)

Minus the praise (you got to calm it down)

You need to calm it down

Calm it down

Now that I feel the shame (it's in your favour)

I've got every reason to persuade (you got to calm it down)

Mine is the problem (you got to calm it down)

Mine is the pain (you got to calm it down)
