Banana Peel is a song about how predatory the music industry can be at times. In its short run-time it touches on the greed, discovery, and manipulation that can be found in the industry and how much better life is without a major label constantly on your back to control your every move.
Why wait for them to seal your fate
Seal it then they steal it before you get to feel it
Bite into a banana but you forgot to peel it
You caught a nice fish but you don't know how to reel it, k?
But we do our own thing. See?
So we don't have to fear it, yeah. Now they fear we
But we keep our eyes open, yeah
Just in case their eyes turn green, their eyes always turn green
Like a coconut laying back under a palm tree
Hard exterior couldn't be happier
Take me back to days of when we started it up
Nothing but fun is what I wanted to touch
Most of the days I start them with the same frame of mind
Mind my own business in record time
Could you imagine what you thought you might find
Is it the gold that you expected or the coal in the mine, yeah
Fruit so low, you know you wanna grab it
Aim too low, yeah it's a bad habit
Feel free to take one, you need to reach higher
Yer gonna skid out just like a tire
Low hanging fruit, we sit and watch you snatch it
Burn out like a sacrifice much quicker than a rabbit
Spear our spirit probably not even if it's habit
Taste this all you want, yeah you'll never truly catch it
