Cowbell

Verse 1

Creepin' up the mountain where the shadows don't sleep

Old tape hiss in the trunk, buried six feet deep

Cowbell ringin' out like a warning from the block

Chopped the sample three times, now the groove don't stop

1995 in the paint, but the paint peeled off

Ghost in the rearview, yeah, he tryna get lost

Two-tone caddy, ridin' heavy on the gravel

Voice from the static, tellin' tales of the battle

Hook

Up the mountain, up the mountain, we go

Where the phonk don't die and the cowbells glow

Up the mountain, up the mountain, we ride

Dark side of the city where the samples hide

Verse 2

Concrete jungle turned to dust on the ridge

Memphis in the membrane, yeah, we burnin' that bridge

Screwed up tempo, got the night movin' slow

Bass hit the chest like a twelve-gauge blow

Phantom in the tape deck, whisperin' my name

Three 6 in the water, but the fire remain

Mountain got a secret and the secret got a price

Phonk ain't just music, it's a way of life

Hook

Up the mountain, up the mountain, we go

Where the phonk don't die and the cowbells glow

Up the mountain, up the mountain, we ride

Dark side of the city where the samples hide

[Bridge] Spoken/Chopped

"...and when you reach the top... ain't nobody there... just the echo of what you left behind..."

Outro

Mountain keep risin', but we never fall

Phonk in the bloodline, yeah, we gave it all

Static to the casket, let the tape run out

Mountain got the phonk — that's what it's about
