I Ain't Pickin' Up On You

from Welcome to the Brassroots District by Brassroots District

lyrics

Well tonight is the big setup
You brought some fire but I didn’t light up
Had a lot to say but didn’t say much
At all, no
Your tabloids while i’m periodical

Shifted pace to wrap it up
But it went on and on and on
when it was through
I went in the other room
Don’t take it personal

I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey

I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no

7 numbers on a napkin, all tore up
Tried to be polite but you didn’t let up
Ain’t no other move, but to throw in the towel, on you
But in the pages i’m listed, and that’s where you twisted

You left a message on my tape machine
I was in the other room
Don’t take it personal

I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you
I ain’t picking up on but you never really know, hey

I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no
I ain’t picking up on you, no

Ease up
Sometimes too much is too much girl
But you never really know

Brassroots District Los Angeles, California

As the outside world gets crazier, the inside groovehaus gets sweatier. Brassroots District is not a band. It's an idea. A musical collective. A respite from negativity. It's a space where freaks and businessmen, weirdos and stiffs come together for a night of unadulterated joy. To dance, sing, smoke, drink and make good, good love. ... more
