about
Backbone is a song about standing up. It's a song about being physically strong, mentally focused, and a philosophically righteous person in everything that you do. Despite what adversity you may find in your way, the high times are right in front of you. Keep your head up, follow your dreams, and take it straight to the top!
lyrics
Stand up and take a bow, you found space in a place where you don't have to make or break it. / Take a tip from me, if you don't got it you don't need it you don't keep it for yourself just let the people see it. /
This is the way that it goes, people need to meet & greet one another and get sweet on each other. / And everybody knows what they're doing 'til they don't, won't stop, don't stop 'til you get it, get it.
Look at the time in a line, it's not yours but whose is it? It's not mine, but I won't forget it. / Don't cross the line just bend it up a little and get in the middle other people try to hit it. /
If you see the sign, point it down, point it up at yourself, this is the remedy for lookin' in. / Sometimes I'm blind but I see the way I'm movin', lighten up, shoulder lean and start it up again.
You won't ever be lonely. High times are right in front of me. Have you ever been busted? High times to the left... get in line.
Backbone to the body not alone. If livin' ain't for givin', I don't want to go home. Some people break bones, but the final way to grow, I've been standing up a while now I think I'm gonna go...
Straight to the top, yeah! I got some shit. We're gonna take it to the top, yeah!
You won't ever be lonely. High times are right in front of me. Have you ever been busted? Yeah, high times to the left... get in line.
You won't ever be lonely. High times are right in front of me. Have you ever been busted? Yeah, high times to the left...
Get in line!
