Spit Syndicate Pick It Up (feat. Sarah Corry)
[Intro: Sample & Nick Lupi]
Pick it up
Right where we left off
Girl, we can pick it up
Jase, let's pick it up
[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]
I took the time out to stop and reflect
On the depths of my dealings with the opposite sex
Rocky at best, few deemed me pretty, but
The sweet talk's been enough to always keep me busy
They'd sip their cask and I'd filled the glass
Enough to spill my heart when she passed me by
Drought for weeks, then when it rained it poured
Till I was caught up in a storm wishin' I'd stayed indoors
Slave to desire, I hadn't yet learned that, ah
You play with fire and you get burned
So I'd skate by the flame
Thinkin' the taste of forbidden fruit should outweigh her heartache and pain (uh)
When karma made its way back to attack
Cupid's sucker punch had me laid flat on my back
Stress, this is all too hard
So I'd mask the pain and shame in macho-esqe bravado
Like, "I don't need 'em"
Knowin' that I'd change my course and gladly trade the emptiness of freedom
If I found what I've been waiting for
When she walked back into my life I had my faith restored
Press play, baby, make me yours, it's ours now
Lettin' your light in, lettin' my guard down
And each breath etched is real, that right hook
Got me left foot, right foot, but I'm head over heels, so we can
[Chorus: Sarah Corry, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
So we can pick it up
Slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down
Who would'a knew that, we can't do that now we been through that
I could give my all
All for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby, won't you come around?
Baby, won't you come around?
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Yes
I took the time out to think things through
The young hearts ran free through the fast life, I caught me a few
Round the time that house parties was in
The after class thing, close friends bragged 'bout how many they bagged
And pastor, we juggled a few, multitasked it
Fell for a couple, but did well to mask it
Bark 'bout the benefits, wish it'd outweigh
The petty shit that soon had me searchin' for greener pastures
Dreamt of bein' a player till I was one
Seldom met the odd one with way too much game for James
But me myself had got me knee-high
I realised the main thing for me was the chase, ain't nuttin' changed (nah)
Most can relate, but some get burnt
And escape, some get burned and still stay
I don't mean to break hearts and close ties
I just jump headfirst with closed eyes, learn from my mistakes
[Chorus: Sarah Corry, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
So we can pick it up
Slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down
Who would'a knew that, we can't do that now we been through that
I could give my all
All for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby, won't you come around?
Baby, won't you come around? (uh, yeah, uh)
[Verse 3: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
Yeah, so that's where I'm at now
Glad you feel that way, but till that day I get swayed to play the background
It's not about a one night stand, nah
But sometimes man must do what comes natural, put the mac down
Yeah, that sounds cool, I can respect that you jaded and
I'm right there with you each step of the way, but
This the way that I feel, weedin' out the fake from real
It ain't easy if you play that field
See girls scars take ages to heal when these days
I'm done wasting my time on the flavour of the month
With that said, I back peddled for years and shed tears
Your life ain't for keeps, so we play it for fun
I guess the view changes dependin' on where you stand at (uh)
'Cause when that pendulum swings you can have all of your plans scrapped
So, baby, you can stand back or take my hand
And fall without a thought of where we might land at
[Chorus: Sarah Corry, Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice]
So we can pick it up
Slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down
Who would'a knew that, we can't do that now we been through that
I could give my all
All for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby, won't you come around?
Baby, won't you come around?
[Outro: Jimmy Nice]
