OREGON KNIGHTS
Lyrics
Song Title: Oregon Knights
Album Title: While We Can
HOOK
Walked in the door with nothing to lose
A big bag of love and my green suede shoes
The mic that I use to connect the dots
The knowledge that I gained from the miles that I walked
Like you my life's gone up and down.
Spinning in position like a circus clown.
I never would have guessed I would be here now.
But I'm-a make it out this maze someway somehow.
Marv VERSE ONE:
I know you don't know me homie
I don't speak bologna
I bend words like the curve in the macaroni
One of the one and only
Positive not phonies
I push my pen into paper when i'm all alonely
My Walkman's a Sony
I love Tony Toni
Tone OutKast Mos Def they all showed me
How holy matrimonies honing mic skills
Toning up to keep it rolling
The world is unfolding
The nicotine used to seem so controlling
Family is deep
Don Corleone
I score about a buck twenty when I go bowling
Unless we're in the hills and we're all solar bowling
The truth is showing
Up
Where all the elevators go when
You push the button to the top where
It's still snowing
To all my green thumb people keep growing
We're all on the clock
Do work till ya own it
HOOK
Walked in the door with nothing to lose
A big bag of love and my green suede shoes
The mic that I use to connect the dots
The knowledge that I gained from the miles that I walked
Like you my life's gone up and down.
Spinning in position like a circus clown.
I never would have guessed I would be here now.
I'ma make it out this maze someway somehow.
EMILY VERSE:
Backlit with the moonlight glow
So bright I can see my shadow How i got here I don't really know But I do know I love this moment Smile, watch the sun pass the dipper down low Another universe is starting to show Heavens unfold nice and slow And I love this moment Make all my wishes on a falling star All i really want is to be where we are I just wanna sing and play a big fat bass guitar Cuz i love these moments Walked in the door with nothing to lose Whole lotta love, and nothing to prove Heavens unfold nice and smooth And I love this moment
HOOK
Walked in the door with nothing to lose
A big bag of love and my green suede shoes
The mic that i use to connect the dots
The knowledge that I gained from the miles that I walked
Like you my life's gone up and down.
Spinning in position like a circus clown.
I never would have guessed I would be here now.
I'ma make it out this maze someway somehow.
Marv VERSE TWO:
Confidently cocky
Provocatively sloppy
Free-styling with Laf T
In the back of a Jalopy
Slick like the oil when you
Slice open a poppy
Not a carbon copy
Takes notes and watch me
Free to be myself knowing
That you can't mock me
Three mile reach on my cheap walkie-talkie
Talking while i'm walking thru the rose garden watching
Nothing any more
Sweet chocolate candies in the bottom of a stalking
B Boys Break, Pop keep locking
Soaking in the minerally stimulating hot springs
With my woman she's such a young hot thing
Trying to represent it
When I send it like an offering
Invitations always open ended till you stop things
You can hear the kernels in your bucket
Cause it's popping
It's showtime baby
So you know that it's tasty
When I

The knowledge that I gained from the miles that I walked
Like you my life's gone up and down.
Spinning in position like a circus clown.
I never would have guessed I would be here now.
