[Verse 1] His driver’s license said James he went by Jim A gangster wannabe yeah baby that was him He stole his uncle’s 44 last Friday night Said if I wanted in we’d have to plan this thing just right We’ll need the gloves we’ll need the bags a couple masks We’ll need to steal a car with windows tinted black We picked the nearest bank on Main and 17th We wrote down every line from every movie that we’d seen N.C Screamin’... [Pre-Chorus] This is a robbery now get down on the floor We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (Yeah) We want your cash open the safe get off your phone Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home [Chorus] Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground [Post-Chorus] N.C                                 Get ’em up                            N.C                                    Get ’em get ’em up                      [Verse 2] A freshly stolen Mustang small block 302 Drove past the bank a dozen times this afternoon The only parking spot was half a block away Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say N.C Screamin’... [Pre-Chorus] This is a robbery now get down on the floor We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (Yeah) We want your cash open the safe get off your phone Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home [Chorus] Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground [Post-Chorus] N.C                                 Get ’em up                            N.C                                    Get ’em get ’em up                      [Bridge] The only thing I wish that one of us had known That it was Sunday and the god damn bank was closed Too bad we didn’t see the cops across the street We dropped our guns and tried to run and there went all our dreams of screamin’... [Pre-Chorus] This is a robbery now get down on the floor We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah) We wanted easy street and now we’ll never know Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain’t coming home [Chorus] Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground Get ’em up And get down Reach for the sky Then go ahead and kiss the ground Get ’em up

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire de Jim, un jeune homme qui rêve de devenir un gangster. Il met en place un plan pour braquer une banque avec son ami, empruntant des accessoires de film et une voiture volée. Malheureusement, ils découvrent trop tard que c'est un dimanche et que la banque est fermée. Tout cela se termine de manière désastreuse alors qu'ils réalisent que la réalité ne correspond pas à leurs fantasmes. Le contexte évoque les désillusions et l'absurdité de la vie criminelle. Au lieu de vivre une aventure palpitante, ils se retrouvent confrontés à des conséquences inattendues, illustrant comment des choix imprudents peuvent rapidement mener à des échecs.
