Jumprope

Girls on the block
 Turn rope calling out
 The same games
 That I played:
 It goes turn around, then jump
 Touch the ground, then jump
 Wake up to find work
 And look for love
 But when that rope comes
 Round you jump
 That rope comes round you jump
 Jump
 Jump
 Jump
 You sterilize the needle with
 A lighter and a prayer
 You sew your empty pockets closed
 Cut off all your hair
 You train up on the mountaintop
 To weaponize the blood
 You bring your body back to sea
 Level to see what body does
 And it runs
 And it runs
 And it runs
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
 You hope you get the fast horse
 Some of what you ask for
 Never let a broken heart k-keep
 You from the dance floor
 Have a little fun
 Have a little fun
 Girls on the block
 Turn rope calling out
 The same games
 Turn around
 Touch the ground
 Wake up to find work and look for love
 But when what rope comes round -
 Rope comes round you jump
 Jump
 Jump
 Jump
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
 It was just jumprope then
 You try not to get hit
 You try to stay in
 Don't let em talk that down
 It's still jumprope now
