[Verse 1]
The collective hive-mind
Algorithmically scanning
Defending exploration
And language hair extensions
[Pre-Chorus]
You'd better watch your step
You shouldn't place your bet
You may have played your hand
You didn't gauge demand
[Chorus]
It's a throw-down
It's a tag-team angle
It's a face-off
Then a cheap shot low blow
[Verse 2]
Figuratively speaking
The meaning: quite porous
You are well-versed in verses
And chorus, the chorus
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) You'd better watch your step
(Ooh-ah) You shouldn't place your bet
(Ooh) You may have played your hand
(Ooh-ah) You didn't gauge demand
[Chorus]
It's a throw-down
It's a tag-team angle
It's a face-off
Then a cheap shot low blow
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Cactused informants
Scaling involvement
Discard new litanies
Deride conventions
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) You'd better watch your step
(Ooh-ah) You shouldn't place your bet
(Ooh) You may have played your hand
(Ooh-ah) You didn't gauge demand
[Chorus]
It's a throw-down
It's a tag-team angle
It's a face-off
Then a cheap shot low blow
