[Intro: Footwork juke male MC, chant over the rapid kick pattern] Juke it, juke it, nobody move [Verse 1: Footwork juke male MC, rapid chant flow over footwork kicks and clattering claps] Cabin by the lake, and the signal's showin' none Six of us, a cooler, and a deck of cards for fun Footwork on the porch till the porch light buzzed and quit Then a branch broke in the woods, and everybody heard it Tasha said raccoons, and Devon said it's deer I said everybody hush, I seen this movie, I'm clear Every friend who says I'll check it out is gone by ten Every one who says be right back never comes back again [Hook: Footwork juke MC, booming sub, claps on every word] Don't split up, don't wander in the trees Don't say I'll be right back, and don't you drop the keys Everybody laughed at me, but everybody's here Don't split up, the second that you split, you disappear [Verse 2: Footwork juke MC, faster, chopped low guitar stabs in the gaps] Juke it, they were laughin', called me scary, called me soft Devon grabbed a flashlight, and he climbed into the loft Tasha heard a knockin', and she wandered to the dock Kev went in the basement 'cause the fuse box popped a lock Rico said be right back, and Rico wasn't back Jules went lookin' after him in socks along the track Me, I took the keys, and I got in the car Locked all four doors, and I counted every star [Hook: Footwork juke MC, booming sub, claps on every word] Don't split up, don't wander in the trees Don't say I'll be right back, and don't you drop the keys Everybody laughed at me, but everybody's here Don't split up, the second that you split, you disappear [Verse 3: Footwork juke MC, high-beam flash, every drum lands on one hit, then the pattern comes back busier] Two in the mornin', there's a scratchin' on the trunk I ain't lookin' back, I'm sittin' quiet as a monk Three in the mornin', there's a knockin' on the glass I'm tappin' footwork on the pedal, lettin' every minute pass Four in the mornin', every noise without a name Five in the mornin', and I lean into the frame Hit the brights, and the whole lake goes white Here come five friends runnin' straight into the light Muddy, shoeless, cryin', every one of 'em alive Followin' the one man who would never leave the drive [Final Hook: Footwork juke MC, all the way up, full kit and sub] Don't split up, don't wander in the trees Don't say I'll be right back, and don't you drop the keys Everybody laughed at me, but everybody's here Don't split up, the second that you split, you disappear [End]
