Lyrics

[00:00.35] Flobots - The Effect
[00:01.48] It's the F-L-O-B-O-T-S
[00:04.04] What did you expect?
[00:10.35] You wanted us to move you right to left
[00:12.60] Live and direct
[00:18.66] It's like
[00:19.23] 1, 2, 3, 4
[00:20.41] Butterfly wing flap, whole thing change
[00:22.23] One look, two different books, same page
[00:24.35] Front on the range but the beat's contage
[00:26.86] Stuck to your feet for 3, 4 days
[00:28.98] It's real, too real like film projectors
[00:31.48] Bend the letters to find the nectar
[00:33.10] It is effective, it will protect ya
[00:33.85] From them specters, don't let 'em get ya
[00:34.79] How did they escape the rat race?
[00:35.66] How'd he make that sound with that bass?
[00:36.60] The roof is ablaze so break the glass case
[00:38.41] Song so big, affect the tax base
[00:40.10] Don't drink the potion, split the ocean
[00:41.47] Holy Moses, Pharaoh's forces
[00:42.23] Let my people go with purpose
[00:43.28] Turn the tide with forward motion
[00:45.91] How does it feel to un-glue?
[00:47.79] Where do you think we've come to?
[00:52.61] What does it take to follow through?
[00:55.78] Who is it making you move?
[00:59.41] Heavens to Murgatroyd
[01:00.79] The situation's purgatory
[01:03.48] Brer Rabbit stories, burn categories
[01:05.23] The allegory is Adam's story
[01:06.79] On the eve of something glorious
[01:08.54] Us against them won't bust the system
[01:10.29] But trust the pistons, the engine's mis-spent
[01:11.86] Our thrust is intense, combustive intent
[01:13.23] Boom Jonny 5 better yet Juan Cinco
[01:15.42] Rhetoric rep for my Colorado lingo
[01:16.85] Whatever preterit's wet by my ink flow
[01:18.60] Is spelled out B4
[01:19.79] Get it?, because I never get outwitted
[01:21.60] Bold-faced type, all capped like a fitted
[01:23.67] We'll make you move even if you're arthritic
[01:25.60] Something you thought I wouldn't do, I did it
[01:27.60] How does it feel to un-glue?
[01:28.92] Where do you think we've come to?
[01:32.29] What does it take to follow through?
[01:36.10] Who is it making you move?
[01:40.10] It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
[01:40.91] What did you, what did, did you expect?
[01:46.10] You wanted us to move you, move you right to left
[01:50.16] Live and direct, you ride the effect
[01:53.85] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[02:14.22] It's a quilombo with Kenny O on the drum roll
[02:16.47] We rocket like Dikembe Mutombo
[02:17.79] Djembe to bongo to MPC
[02:19.54] We unload and win MVP
[02:20.98] So let's be old fashioned, put the beat on blast
[02:23.60] And leave a lil' something like a geocache
[02:25.73] And if anybody wanna smurf with me
[02:27.17] We can take this to the nursery
[02:27.98] Like hickory dickory, rhyme so slippery
[02:29.35] This emcee, that emcee, wish they could switch currencies
[02:31.35] Like a battery, disbelieve flattery
[02:32.42] Realistically, it can just be a smattering
[02:34.79] To sit and watch the needle peak with Mario C
[02:37.28] Reppin' CO and 303
[02:40.17] (Speak up, girl)
[02:41.29] Even if it's what's they're against
[02:42.98] Do the Helen Keller and confront male arrogance
[02:43.91] How does it feel to un-glue?
[02:45.60] Where do you think we've come to?
[02:46.47] What does it take to follow through?
[02:47.72] Who is it making you move?
[02:52.16] It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
[02:52.91] What did you, what did, did you expect?
[02:59.85] You wanted us to move you, move you right to left
[03:02.98] Live and direct, you ride the effect
[03:05.66] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[03:25.16] La, la, la, la, la
[03:26.66] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

[03:42.22] La
[03:43.41] It's the F-L-O-B-B-B-O-T-S
