Black Mamba Lyrics
We've got one chance to break out
We need it now
Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting
Sick of this fucking apartment
Love me, or leave me, or rip me apart
This is the voice that I was given
And if you don't like it
Take a long walk off
Of the shortest pier you can find
And I'll be singing it out
I'll be singing
Oh Mr. Magazine
I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You don't mean a thing to me
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
When they review the debut
What if the critics hate you?
Don't worry, cause we might just catch
Somebody off their feet
Well, they can love it, or leave it, or rip it apart
We're living what we're signing
So I guess that's a step in the right direction
Clever composition
And this honesty, honesty
Oh Mr. Magazine
I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You both mean shit to me
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
So save your breath and the money you spent
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all
So afraid of anything
That may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything
You may have not seen before
So afraid of anything
That may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything that may not...
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
So save your breath and the money you spent
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all
We need it now
Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting
Sick of this fucking apartment
This is the voice that I was given
And if you don't like it
Take a long walk off
Of the shortest pier you can find
And I'll be singing it out
I'll be singing
I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You don't mean a thing to me
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
What if the critics hate you?
Don't worry, cause we might just catch
Somebody off their feet
We're living what we're signing
So I guess that's a step in the right direction
Clever composition
And this honesty, honesty
I never wrote one single thing for you
Or your so-called music scene
You both mean shit to me
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all
That may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything
You may have not seen before
So afraid of anything
That may not come that easy
Too afraid of anything that may not...
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
You need it too
Pick it up, pick it up
It's what you wanted
Pick it up, pick it up
Go work in retail and spare the suspense
Just don't take chances on anything at all
Anything at all

I think this song Is About that CD just listen to the lyrics... They are saying they took chances with this debut CD,
"when they review the debut what if the critics hate you"
So I suggest You to pick it up, pick it up but you want it pick it up, pick it up you need it too
I agree with ADimeADexter. I was reading a review of the album (at AbsolutePunk, if anyone is interested) and it was stated, "Black Mamba is the band’s take on the critics quick attack of their first EP (and the responses they may have to this album). Brutally honest and one of the best examples of how a band can create an album for themselves, for their fans, and not particularly give a shit if the “scene police” like it or not.

I agree completely with splitends, but i look at it more as a song saying screw the music reviewers and pick the the album and have your own opinion about it
take a long walk off of the shortest pier you can find,
god, so f'n sick. I love TAI. I was reading a interview w. William and the guy asked him how he feels that some people label him a fallout boy rip off. He said listen to "Black Mamba". I couldn't agree more. When i picked up this cd, this was a welcome escape from the emo-pop-punk sound that has spawned so many spin offs
"too afraid of anything you may not seem to fall" is really .. "too afraid of anything you may not have seen before"
Also, this song is AMAZING. You can see just how strongly they feel about this song and it's meaning when you see them perform live. Who cares about what's scene, just sing what you want, how you want it, like you want it.
This song is awesome. I think it's about breaking out, ya know, making it big I ♥ this song.
