lyrics
hook - Marika:
vibe out
vibe out
vibe out
in the hideout
v1 - Marika:
long hours
warm shower
days over
night crawler,
i'm about to take a trip to this spot i know,
Call my people,
and tell them it's time to go,
we do this when we want to,
how we want to,
cos we want to,
crack a joke or a few,
no-ones watching you,
freestyle to the beat,
just do what you do,
and it's about that time,
to free your mind,
and let yourself go,
so just unwind,
if it's fine with you,
it's cool with me too,
and it's so good right now,
im not questioning how,
let's just vibe out,
let's just vibe out,
bring a friend too,
we can hang out,
till we pass ou-ou-out
hook - Marika:
vibe out
vibe out
vibe out
in the hideout
verse 2 - Vice:
There's this little place I know,
That nobody else knows,
Behind closed doors,
Away from prying eyes so,
It's an escape no doubt,
Switch inside for out,
Just me, you, the crew,
And a bottle or two,
Just jamming out,
Vibin out,
No bouts of stress,
No need to contest,
This place is just blessed,
From PS3 contests,
To straight reminiscing,
This is a spot for calming your inhibitions,
Free your mind,
And Release your inervisions,
Just like the good old days,
No responsibilities,
These little bits of happiness,
Can ease the madness,
Just forget the bills,
And the ever growing need for skills,
Pull up a chair and ease your cares,
Have a chat,
Sit Back,
And relax in the Hideout,
Just jam out and vibe out,
There's nowhere i'd rather be.
hook - Marika:
vibe out
vibe out
vibe out
in the hideout
Bridge - Marika:
It's about that time,
to free your mind,
and let yourself go,
so just unwind,
if it's fine with you,
it's cool with me too,
(x2)
hook -Marika:
vibe out
vibe out
vibe out
in the hideout
outro - Marika
In the hideout (extended)
yeh (extended)
vibe out (extended)
