Surprise, surprise So you rub your eyes Never knew uds, so cool as ice? Hear the vibes man, they'll stupefy Ducks - categorize us as hard criers That's a lie, we know why we're occupiers No blurs, but obscure styles, these are higher Profiles are low - as soon as we go As a breeze straight from a deeper shade of soul Five souls play the head role Excite the middle between the two poles The globe rotates from new to old Uds take both to reach the souls Narrowmind clydes, still holding a pose What we pour 'n flow when we come close To the contrary, they pinch their earlobes They call it rogue-rock, but it's a deeper shade of soul We blend everything, with the color of skin Under the skin, we're in like Flynn Ducks stare at us, as soon as we begin To innovate the frame of thought they're in Again, music's got to do with only feeling Not where you're from, it's 'can' they yield in The stuff that we rock and what we're giving A piece of the mind connects the rhythm
