About This Track

'Intermission' by DRAIN is a 2023 metal track from 'LIVING PROOF'. The lyrics pitch a brash, confrontational street stance, layering images of low aims, hard partying, and violence, with a talky, imperative delivery. Lines mention a Glock, breakage, and people “start to bang”, and there is repeated talk of weaponry and aggression, kept in a boastful, swaggering register. The verses bounce between slang-fuelled wordplay and rapid-fire images, culminating in a crude, kinetic threat tone.

"Intermission" is a track by DRAIN, from the album LIVING PROOF, released 5th May 2023. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about DRAIN.

Lyrics

Intermission

[Verse: Shakewell]

You can hit the ground

I'ma aim low

This ain't no pit beef

Shake brought a Draco

Sippin' clean

Y'all sippin' Karo

DRAIN bring them pit beefs

Glock break ya ankles

Rippin' this shit up

Like dreidels

Beyblades turned switchblades

When kids start to bang, so

Cali cursed

No way to save souls

Devil's itch

Run up them bankrolls

This ain't no myth, bitch, I'm living proof

Opps feel the pressure when I come through

I know the weight of the world on you

Fuck ya think why I walk 'round with a chunky tool?

Nine millies, forties, and twenty-twos

Run your luck, watch you burn, laugh at you

Better pipe down with that attitude

Show you how it feels when Shake and DRAIN in the room

[Interlude: Shakewell with DRAIN]

Yo, DRAIN

Lit this shit up
