Lyrics:

[Intro, Zach]

Heroin is not hip hop, homie.  Listen...

[Verse, Zach]

I get it poppin' like a poppy seed
I bend the needle, who got the weed
Well not me if it's by police
They'll put me under lock and key

And I aint tryin' to cop a plea
I stay streetsmart, Socrates
Hip hop is my occu-p
Nation, punch clock my

C-A-R-D won't rock for free
Now I'll do your show for lots of cheese
I don't mean to talk with greed
Honestly, we just got to eat

Females all high with steam
Used to not want to talk to me
Then I came cooler than a hockey team
It's like damn, can I get a condom please

Two adults swim like Aqua Teen
Hunger Force not possibly
Ever do crack or speed
Drop the beat I got to breathe

[Verse, Natalie]

Like to brighten up the grave
Before our dreams are washed away
Depression breeding, comes in waves
Take a minute, lick my lips, and step on stage

I pray the lyrics that I rearrange
Bring down the fever dull the pain
Let's fill the cracks and break the cage
Take a step up or get, it's not the same you see

I watch them dancing in circles around me
I watch them dancing in circles around me

If at first, you don't succeed
Take a little sip of this remedy
Close your eyes, feel the beat, follow me
Come on show me your dancing feet
Yeah I think it's sweet

I watch you dancing in circles around me (I watch you dancing in circles around me)
I watch you dancing in circles around me (I watch you dancing in circles around me)

[Bridge 1]

It takes two to tango (I watch you dancing in circles around me)

(Sax Solo)

UNICUS

Speakin' jive keep the high five alive
It's a party whenever I arrive
People do what you do to survive
Whether it's rockin' a microphone or workin' a 9-to-5

Got a couple hustles on the side
To pay your rent or just to get by
We make music we're not here to judge
If you're feelin' it man cut a rug

Everyday people, their motto was spread love
Come various shapes like shoes and drugs
Kisses and hugs, all the above
Everybody got their time to shine

You know, in their prime, one of a kind
I wanna be the kind that stays on your mind
Put me in your player and press rewind
Let's go for a ride who knows what we'll find

[Bridge 2]

Go wild don't say no
It takes two to tanGo wild don't say no

(I watch you dancing in circles around me)

I Speak Jive

More Than Lights is Natalie Fine and Haitian-born UnicusHarry. Together, they make all sorts of fresh music. It brings together everyone from hip-hop heads to hippies, and everyone else under the sun.

Succeeding in forming their own niche by creating songs spanning many musical genres, More Than Lights has consistently performed their contagious signature high-energy show provoking crowds all across the country.


"...all their hard work has spawned a seminal blend of Blues and Jazz, Latin beats and Big Band, Hip-Hop and New-School hotness. Its a constantly shifting spotlight that one can't help but appreciate."

- Drew Nelson, City Pages Minneapolis/St.Paul

"Local hip-hop collective More Than Lights are doing things differently from the crews that came before them in the Twin Cities. They're leaving the egos out of the music and bringing back instrumentation and melody in a way that's uplifting yet smart. And Minneapolis and St. Paul aren't the only cities to notice: MTV has featured the band's music on several episodes of The Real World."

- Jen Boyles, City Pages Minneapolis/St.Paul
