Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Y'all are not, not ready (No)
Not ready (No) Pick it up, drop it steady (So)
Do it like that, like that, like that
Like that, like that, like that, like that
[Verse 2]
Now, why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
Now why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on, yeah)
Drop that (Come on, yeah)
[Verse 3]
How you doin' y'all, my name's Mike
I'm fluent with the new shit, I'm doin' it all night
I like what I do, I do what I like
I could quit and get it back like I'm ridin' a bike
Like stop, bring it back, bring it back
We got that balance keeping us on track
That you get when you move and quit with no slow
You stare like you don't care but you do, though
I know, you really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you tough, but so phony
You and your boys, you don't know me
You really wanna hold me, show me, homie
Let's get it over with for good
I got a friction addiction, I wish you would
Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
[Verse 4]
Now, why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
[Verse 5]
Listen, you are not ready
Like children in a building, you can't stand steady
It must be the beat so heavy
Causing panic attacks like a crack in the levy
Give you that Robert Plant, Dancing Days are back
Feeling all in the track, and in fact
For those knowing the name
I'm back with some brand new crack who can do it like that
You really must be so lonely
Puffed up like you tough, but so phony
You and your boys, you don't know me
You really wanna hold me, show me, homie
Tough talk doesn't mean a thing
Get over yourself, you know when we're up in a scene
It's Machine Shop rockin' when we step inside
And we got everybody so petrified
[Verse 6]
Now, why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
Now, why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
[Verse 7]
Y'all are not, not ready (No)
Not ready (No) Pick it up, drop it steady (So)
Do it like that, like that, like that
Like that, like that, like that, like that
Y'all are not, not ready (No)
Not ready (No) Pick it up, drop it steady (So)
Do it like that, like that, like that
Like that, like that, like that, like (Get up)
[Verse 8]
Why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
Why is everybody so petrified (What)
Petrified (What)
Step aside and just drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on) Drop that (Come on)
Drop that (Come on)
[Verse 9]
Like stop (Stop) Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop) Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop) Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance keeping us on track
Like stop (Stop) Bring it back (Bring it back)
We got that balance keeping us on track
[Verse 10]
Like stop
[Verse 11]
Machine Shop
