lyrics

Not everybody Walks a righteous path. Not everybody Uses honest math. Not every one you lend Will be a friend. Not every friend in need Won't let you bleed. You gotta watch out For the snakes. The liars and the swoops And the skates. You gotta be careful When you raise the stakes. And you find yourself among Among the greats. Gotta have someone Watching your back When the knives are flying high And flying fast. Chorus: If ya got rhythm, clap yo hands. If ya got soul, c'mon and dance. If ya got rhythm, clap yo hands. If ya got soul, c'mon and dance. And if somebody did things in the past, You can only do what you can. Don't let it last! When the world Is like a broken zoo. With all the animals On the loose. And the only thing I wanna do Is get the **** off work And come right home to you. But I gotta watch out For the snakes. The liars and the swoops And the skates. I gotta be careful When I raise the stakes. And I find myself among Among the greats. Gotta have you babe Watching my back When the knives are flying high And flying fast. (Repeat chorus) (Repeat chorus x2)

about

Ori Kawa & The Entals step up for their "Don't Let It Last" release on Entality Sonics Co. Releasing at the peak of summer this August they present a record that really heats things up.

Featuring two stand-out remixes that take the record in different directions. JedX drops a version that takes the instrumentation of the original paired with a House beat that sits it right in dancefloor territory. On the flip, Robert Ortiz provides a remix that turns the heat up another notch, with a more classic Deep sound and a more late-night groove.

As a whole, the package covers different takes on the same musical brilliance, featuring the talents of Ori Kawa & The Entals. Out August 31st - don't miss it.

"The song is meant to have an upbeat, happy, "get up and dance" feel to it with a call and answer style chorus to encourage involvement. The verses were written as a stark contrast to this mood, addressing the bleak side of the adult experience in the workforce these days. The lyrics touch on themes like betrayal, deceit, dishonesty but also hope and loyalty. I originally started writing this when I left the music industry a bit disillusioned. The music business has a reputation for being very cut throat. However, as I moved through different industries, I recognized the same shady characters doing the same shady things, they were just called by a different name. At the dealership, stepping over someone to steal a sale is referred to as "skating". In the call center, you gotta watch out for "swoops". At the restaurant, in the office...well, you get the picture! Everyone has to deal with the same assholes. When we are harmed by them, whatever our initial reaction, it is important not to let their past actions continue to affect us negatively. It is within ourselves to not let the sentiment last any longer than it deserves. So, don't let it last!"
-Ori
