1 Up Til Sun Up
Written by: Michael Turner & Christopher Portugal
[Thes One:]
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk...
[Double K:] (Hey, hey, yo...)
Live on stage, we breakin' like a beat pad
And kick, snare and hi-hat, we ready to ride that
Got the juice flowin', get 'em amped like fry
We do it, no try, put your hands in the sky
They see the duo comin' with the funky drummer drummin'
Knock over your wine spritzer, wake up and smell the Swisher
Take a picture, and capture the funk
I'mma let my nigga rap before he gets drunk
[Thes One:]
Put your phones in the air, let me see your screen
Put your voice in the air, let me hear you scream
I'm dream in Technicolor, my brother, recover this bliss
Of childhood, wild hood, risk and floppy-disk madness
Got the 8-bit potato chip, Willie on a BMX
Simple-time rhymes, rhythm loopin' like Vine
I'm doin' mine... you do yours, and you'll be fine
Gonna turn the party out and read up on the bottom line, and simply...
[Both:]
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk 'cause you only live once
[Spoken sample:] Turn it up!
[Crowd sample:] Turn it up! (x4)
[Thes One:] (Yo...)
I salute the old school, I pollute your whole pool
It's the P, motherfucker, recover and retool
Like a C & C Factory ([Sung sample:] Everybody dance now!)
I glance to my right and strike the cowboy stance
Invisible six-shooter, put your hands where I could see 'em
Or free your mind and your being, embody the Collessium
You're now rockin' with the best, yes, one for the ages
Jump up and down, tear the roof, break stages
[Double K:]
We came to get stupid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from the P 'cause the rhythm's contagious
'Cause we the winner of the hands-down, no-holds-barred
If we ain't rockin' your world, then we rockin' the bar
High-fives all around, steady watchin' the sound
Forget a throne, me and Chris been had that crown
Pound-for-pound, drop the mic and watch it smoke
Boom! Fire in the hole, we goin' for broke
[Both:]
Ay-yo, one up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya light blunts 'cause you only live once
One up 'til the sun up... Pow! Throw your hands up
Kids, ya get drunk 'cause you only live once
[Spoken sample:] Turn it up!
[Crowd sample:] Turn it up!
[Spoken sample:] Turn it up!
[Crowd sample:] Turn it up! ([Thes One:] 'cause you only live once) (2x)
[Spoken sample:] Say...
[Spoken sample:] I know I'm down... (scratched)
