Cannonballers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pulled behind a car with one hundred different bumper stickers on
In the left lane, crawling fifty-eight on the freeway
Ear's a ringing keychain, pressure in the blood
Can't slow down, I'm a time bomb ticking while I run
With a loaded gun staring at the sun
Got a blind eye, never hit the bullseye
Just like acting tough

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep asking myself
"Hey, why are you running?"

[Chorus]
Hardtop Impala, blank checks and Cannonballers
Heard the whistle blow fom the Wabash
Can't borrow time with the cold cash
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (With the cold cash)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la


[Verse 2]
Television preacher, got yourself another seeker on the line
Could you make the time? I could use divine intervention
Undivided attention, someone needs to know

Yeah, I cooked the books and threw my combinations
Dodging jabs and hooks with shallow conversations
Like a surface level, speed sick devil on the loose

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
