alt/ska/disco dance tune about who drives the hype train.

lyrics

Winners flying high above you
while your feet stick to the ground
Everybody’s looking up
when we should be looking around
Idols shining makes you think
that you’re on the same track
But there’s no way in because you’re paying
for their hot pink Cadillac

This soul inspiration is driving you mad
Designed desperation is all that you had

It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
If it’s coming down on you
then you’re not on top
It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
You’ll never see the strings
because the picture’s cropped
It’s a drop!

A little drop is all you need
to make them all see green
But it’s just a prop to get put on
the cover of a magazine
A good chunk of their confidence
is fueled by your doubt
And needling that feeling
that you might be missing out

Those expectations on what you should be
Are your limitations but you can break free

It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
If it’s coming down on you
then you’re not on top
It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
You’ll never see the strings
because the picture’s cropped
It’s a drop!

It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
They’ll make you think it’s raining
’cause the hype won’t stop
It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
You think you’re at the party
but you’re just a prop

It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
If it’s coming down on you
then you’re not on top
It’s a drop!
It’s a drop!
You’ll never see the strings
because the picture’s cropped
It’s a drop!
