Snow Tires

It’s Epic coming with another song, dark

I grew up in the North Park parts

I’d see my physical brother, Asthma and Reece

When I was looking over at the Canada geese

Ken got bottled there was blood everywhere

At some point I went back to the university

Selling mixtapes outside the backpack

Then Kenny got smoked outside the Crack Mac's

The whole time we went to your art parties, homie

Trying to find some sort of inspiration

Go on with yourself, we really mean it

If you found your life occupation

So many people died not far

From the banks of the Saskatchewan River

But sometimes when we were the youth

We needed the snow tires because we act a fool

We needed the snow tires, the snow tires to slow down

 We needed the snow tires, the snow tires

We needed the snow tires, the snow tires

 We needed the snow tires to slow down

In Western Canada we needed the snow tires

We needed the snow tires to slow down

In Western Canada we needed the snow tires

We needed the snow tires to slow down

In east side Saskatoon we needed the snow tires

We needed the snow tires to slow down

Me and my friends we needed the snow tires

We needed the snow tires to slow down

We–

My east side Saskatoon dancing queen

At the Bessborough tipping pop machines

And Broadway kids that grew up to litigate

Behind Bob’s Gun Shop on the fire escape

Nick hit the liquor store with a backpack

And nothing I say is gonna bring my brother Asthma back

He had his hands back

Like Jocelyn climbed the hill and fought Scotty Stampback

Shit’s wack to me

You need to take that Saskatoon rap shit back to your gated community, community yo

I hit you over the head with a hockey stick

 Like if the Hafford Hawks are playing Unity

Always ready to fight, my covered face

Walking across the Broadway Bridge in a North Face

 Many kids succumbed to a paper chase

They built this hospital on the east side of the river overlooking the most beautiful art gallery

Nowadays I’m a vegetarian with my rice drink

Are you even a Canadian if you’ve never seen someone sucker punch someone on an ice rink?
