Acton TV Cypher by Adam Ford (US) Lyrics
[Intro: Adam]
This that Acton TV cypher
I’m an Acton TV lifer
I direct and I’m a writer
And my future’s getting brighter
[Verse 1: Adam]
I’m booking it, Spy wit No Tie
You digging the way that we ride
Look me right in the eye
YMP changing ya life
Drink on Volkov and you die
Choreographing the fights
Film it again I might
What will the crew decide
We on the scene (we on the scene)
Acton TV (Acton TV)
Camera on me (camera on me)
With battery (with battery)
Tripod on me (tripod on me)
Camera don’t lean (camera don’t lеan)
So I can see (so I can see)
What on the screen (what on the screen)
Yuh, camera on mе
Zoom all the way, looking blurry
Zooming it back, now I can see
His coat it shine, he Salty Steve
I got the yellow, I got the green
Number one group, The YMP
BMM 1, you hear the scream
A Moment of, that with TB
Thinking like whose gon pull up
Till you see the big ol green truck
Everybody looking awestruck
Cameras and mics got them tucked
Pulling out real long wires
But gotta make sure that nobody trips
Getting the shots we desire
When it wraps up then we gon dip
[Refrain: Adam]
Started this stuff way long ago (long ago)
I could never even think to do this solo (solo)
There’s so many friends in these photos (photos)
And it’s time to hear them yeah let’s go (let's go)
[Verse 2: K1ngh S1ngh & Adam Ford]
It was season 2 when I was heading in (let's go)
The Patrick air horn that was deafening (let's go)
Green and yellow yeah I’m steady repping it
If he don’t got a spinner then don’t let him in
Judging the awards, I’m on the committee
Been making big decisions so you gotta do my bidding
Will I show up on time? Man, you must be kidding
I’ve been faking all these volunteer hours that I be getting
[Verse 3: Sanjay Ballerton]
Wrote a couple skits with my boys im chillin
In BMM3 I was a scheming villain
As a mob boss yeah I be killin
With all the stuff I’ve done, hope the lord forgiven
Tryna watch his back, salty steve is who im guarding
Nabbed a camera, took it down to the Acton Garden
Trespassing in the stu but we still got pardoned
Charge 100k per verse yeah that's a bargain
Flew to the award show in my Sunday best
Presented rookie of the year while still looking fresh
Shock and awe from the crowd, they see me in the flesh
Sorting thru the costume bin, yeah it’s such a mess
[Break: Teddy Spaghetti]
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
A person today, dumped coffee on Rick's car
It was kind of weird, and it happened like five times
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
There's coffee on Rick's car, there's coffee on Rick's car
[Verse 4: Stephen]
Only been to 3 meetings but I’m recognized
On these BMM posters I was advertised
Any tomfoolery that’d be unadvised
Cause Behind Closed Doors you’ll get vaporized
Project X brother, but I hold my own
In the anime intro, I’m the first shown
Put some carrots in the oven and the house blown
Gave a monologue right over the speaker phone
[Verse 5: Thiccc Shady]
Number one director think they’re talking about Valerie
Volunteering here so long I think I need a salary
Agent Coronis handin’ out that fatality
Sweeping out all the awards I had do it casually
Go on and watch my projects, like I’m Doing Fine
Everything I write and film all come from my mind
Spotlight on me so much I should be going blind
Don’t got Any Last Regrets as I finish up my time
[Verse 6: Cheezin Vegan]
Shooting with that cam, boom mic in my hand
Not in frame I am, tripod just got jammed
One of four editors, for that Ideal Fight Scene
Acton TV regular, you don’t what I’ve seen
Tried to film an angle, I’m somehow in the shot
Up on stage, think I’m on camera but I’m really not
Shot is out of focus man, that wasn’t what I thought
Filming kites for 50 minutes but it’s all for naught
Acting with Sebastian, keep a clip-on on my hip
Got a bro in Maryland I think I might take a trip
Interrupting during lunch with a couple quips
Wait it’s 2:00? I think I’m gonna dip
[Break: Patrick]
Yeah you know what that means, it's my time to talk now
Gave this kid shot assignments for 4 years
Now he comes back to me with a rap assignment
I don't really know what to say
[Verse 7: Patrick]
Four years later, I don’t even know (even know)
It’s been five seasons in, but watch it still grow (still grow)
If you don’t me then you gotta go (gotta go)
Mr. ABYMP, yeah it’s Patrick Snow (Patrick Snow)
Got an Acton TV logo on my jacket
Had to blow the airhorn cause I heard a racket (heard a racket)
Always making good films, for me that’s a habit (that's a habit)
I got Domino’s Pizza, cause it’s always on my pallet (on my pallet)
I’m a coordinator, youth project innovator (innovator)
Rocking green like a swamp-living alligator (alligator)
I’m an educator, often I’m a demonstrator (demonstrator)
Rocking yellow like a Caterpillar generator
[Outro: Patrick]
Season 5, I honestly don't know what to think about that
I guess it means I'm pretty old
It makes you wonder, about the movement of time and life
Everyone on this track better come back
Starting to know the definition of the term "empty nester"
Acton TV Cypher, I don't even know what that means
This that Acton TV cypher
I’m an Acton TV lifer
I direct and I’m a writer
And my future’s getting brighter
[Verse 1: Adam]
