The song gets both the name and its artwork from a poster featured in the first episode of the FX series Fargo, titled “The Crocodile’s Dilemma”, which in turn references a logical paradox with the same name.
In this song, both Tropes and Mental fall victim to this paradox as the result of followin...
[Intro]
(Ooh, yuh, get it I guess)
(Okay, I'm next best friend, get the camera)
(Dougie, hype me up)
(Go, go, dougie)
(Best friends dancing)
[Verse 1: tropes]
Yeah, fall back from the third, it's the fourth
Falling down the swing on my own damn porch
I asked him where to go, he said don't go north
I ask him where he lives then I light that torch
[Chorus: tropes]
Wish I could get it right
I tried again, I tried
I tried to make it right
But fuck, I ruined the night
I thought I had a thought
But I forget a lot
I thought I got the spot
Fall back into the plot
[Verse 2: mental]
Test my luck, I'll roll the dice
I don't care for your advice
Don't go north, you'll lose your life
Yeah it gets messy, close your eye-eyes
I can never get it right (get it right)
Every day I try and end up losing all the time
I-, I-, I'm not good at saying bye (sayin' bye)
That's why this lil' strap never gonna leave my side (oh-oh)
[Bridge: mental]
Wish I could get it right (get it right)
But every time I try (I try)
I always waste my life (my life)
It breaks my state of mind (oh)
[Chorus: tropes]
Wish I could get it right
I tried again, I tried
I tried to make it right
But fuck, I ruined the night
I thought I had a thought
But I forget a lot
I thought I got the spot
Fall back into the plot
[Outro: mental]
(Wish I could get it right) (get it right)
(But every time I try) (I try)
(I always waste my life) (my life)
(It breaks my state of mind) (oh)
