Melodic pounding saturated 808's, a sad piano loop, and stabbing rhythmic vocals reminiscent of early 2010s Lil Ugly Mane set the scene for a story of teamwork of ten men holding and growing their unity amid increasingly divisive pressures.
lyrics
When I'm with my bros y'all
Got their back
Lift ‘em up
Keep on track
Crossroads
Don't look back
Keep on going
Even though it’s pitch black
Kick past to the fore
Which path to the goal?
To the whole
One fast
One slow
Reach your hands
Take hold
Duck the wave
Avoid the blow
New wave
Grab the rope
Stay close
Climb the boat
Never noticed how the ego grow
Drill a hole
Thinking it's all under me
But it's really under all of y'all
Crack the hull
Overflow
Sink the boat
One man, one heart overboard
Swallowed by one mammal overload
In the whale's stomach
While we flow
Through the ocean
Under thunder and lightning
We connected and bonded all night long
Till the day dawns
We march out of the whale's mouth
Onto land
Feet in sand
Twenty legs
Twenty hands
One man
