Hook:
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names

Verse 1:
This should be moving me forward
What is it towards? (uh yeah)
What if I floor it?
What is the course? (uh yeah)
Will it be hard?
They said, “of course”
What if I end up a signal ignored?
Brittney a corpse?
I really hope that I pass it
I don't want treated like plastic
They'll start recycling names
I'll end up missing my classes
I'll call my mom and my dad and
Cry like I was out picking their caskets
“Brittney don't worry yourself too much
You ain't even know what the task is”
Will I get a knock on my door?
From sergeant who's feeling ignored?
Will he start screaming to get my attention
And mess with my head ‘cause he's bored?
Will he get greedy in all of the tension
And ask for my pants on the floor?
Will he get witnesses in on the business
So they can see nothing for sure?

Hook:
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names

Hook:
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names

Verse 2:
A sergeant said
“Private, show me your privates.” -
I can't deny this
Strike me down if I'm lying -
Told me they're “doing their rounds”
Code for going to town -
They probably reject it and say it ain't happen
Or tell everyone you were down
Some call it pulling their rank
Huh, well lemme be frank
Sergeants got tired of pulling their dicks
And tried to pull one with their strength
And to be sure you don't tell
Investigations are hell
Defame your name and call you insane
To basically poison the well
Well…
If you say one more fucking word…
I'll make sure you don't graduate

Hook:
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names

Hook:
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
I heard they taking down numbers
I heard they calling out
Names names names names names
