Jumprope (Live)

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

Ooh, ah, ah

Ooh (ooh ooh)

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, fun, 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

That rope comes round

You jump

Jump, jump, jump

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

It was just jumprope then (jump, jump)

You try not to get hit

You try to stay in

Don't let em talk that down (jump, jump)

It's still jumprope now

(It was just jumprope then)

Cause that rope comes round

(You try not to get hit, you try to stay in)

Jump

(Don't let em talk that down)

That rope comes round

(It's still jumprope now)

That rope comes round

(It was just jumprope then)

That rope comes round

(You try not to get hit, you try to stay in)

That rope comes round

(It's still jumprope now)

It was just jumprope then (that rope comes round)

You try not to get hit

You try to stay in

Don't let em talk that down (that rope comes round)

It's still jumprope now
