NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!
Opening with a pretty apt prophecy by the late Jim Morrison (cut out of the radio edit), this song is about just doing what works for you in life, because basically, no one gets out alive. At the same time stating that it’s no one’s place to judge what works for others.
This tune really exemplified the approach we had to the album well, which was to layer the production at multiple junctions in the song writing process and get multiple producers to add their two cents. This song show cases Jacob Giles at his sample-hound best, my man Dunx contributing the tightly chopped groove and dancy bass line and soup mixing and adding post effects.
lyrics
NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE!
VERSE 1
I'm known for crossing the line and then copping a fine and owing more money than I've ever got at a time. I searched my mind and see what did i find? That nostalgia just aint what it used to be.
Hmm that was t just crossing my mind as I lost at limbo with the poverty line. My friends said its fine, God has got a design, but mine must have fallen off the production line, because I'm broke
BRIDGE
Put ya hands up
And if you've got no dough
Put ya hands up
and if you loaded give it up
Put ya hands up
Like it's a goddamn stick up
Put ya hands up
HOOK
No one gets out alive and finds
Another way out
So do what you've got to find that piece of mind
Another way out
VERSE 2
I love a splliff just to switch theblueprint but too much shit I'll make you Whitney Houston,
Or Michael, so come clean, sunbeam, you can't moonwalk with propofol stuck in your bloodstream
People say just the feeble stay inebriated but I seize the day on weed and take a leap of faith like piece of cake
Til we cremate my feet will race I'm running just beat my fate for Pete's sake run I've got my life in a sweep stake
BRIDGE
Put ya hands up
If you're just putting a joint out
Put ya hands up
Or you're a straight edge boyscout
Put ya hands up
Come on make some noise now!
Put ya hands up
HOOK
No one gets out alive and finds
Another way out
So do what you've got to find that piece of mind
Another way out
VERSE 3
Me and God got a strange relationship cause I believe in what he says, but then, but I'm not sure that he's saying it. You get what I'm playing at?
Cause I don't believe in God but lately I'm fearing not believing in God might give him reason to hate me
So my Jesus chain I'm keeping for safety cause there's a dude above who could easily break me
BRIDGE
Put ya hands up
Praise the lord
Put ya hands up
Even if he's not there
Put ya hands up
Act like you care
Put ya hands up
HOOK
No one gets out alive and finds
Another way out
So do what you've got to find that piece of mind
Another way out
