LYRICS:
i’ve been on my last kick for a minute
running out of goals, stepping over toes
sitting on the bench, i’ve been in it
losing like a chore, coming up alone yeah
everybody thinks they’re semi-pro
then it all comes down like a waterfall raining on you
got clean, i guess i’d rather never know
it’s played out, now i’m hanging from the rafters
sweating hard, all alone
to take a lap, the sweetest one
headstart on quitting, save your breath
undressed and i’m never coming back for once
saw that name on my jersey, always played for both teams
had big dreams, then i felt bad
killing you was a pleasure, man
hope you understand that the measure wasn’t all so tough
kicking rocks in the promised land
peace out, and i’m never coming back now
it feels like it should, i’ll just let you do the talking,
if you wanna stay back you should, i can’t promise you i’m anything
but it feels so damn good, you just love the way i want you
but i’m cool with it so knock on wood, i’ve been bad but i’m only getting better
not a second thought to lose, yeah yeah
gained something that i’d never thought i’d have before
been broken and bruised, yeah yeah
peace out, i’m never going back now
it feels like it should, i’ll just let you do the talking,
if you wanna stay back you should, i can’t promise you i’m anything
but it feels so damn good, you just love the way i want you
but i’m cool with it so knock on wood, i’ve been bad but i’m only getting better
it's bad but i'm only getting better
i've been bad but i'm only getting better
it's bad but i'm only getting better
i've been bad but i'm only getting better

how does it feel to put out nonstop bangers
Jimbles was forever cemented in history that day. Him and the Hippos would go on to be state champs for 3 years straight after calling it quits in a formidable career and a hometown hooray that will be felt for generations to come. Jimbles would end up getting married to his raspberry blonde high school sweetheart living together with their pet rabbit, Pepper. And for his teammates they went on and did the same. Jimbles’ coach, DeCarlo, would go on to retirement and spend the rest of his days fishing and with his grandkids. Some say we will never see another team like the Hippos other say they come every once a hundred years. They were a family and brought some of the best times of the summer. I think some of them are musicians now haha that’s amazing, who would’ve thought? Because the running joke around campus was always about them going Semi Pro.

Great catch!
When DeCarlo and Jake go to hug, right at 2:25, they do the awkward head bump when they both turn the same way. And we need more Sutton.
Decarlo's trumpet in the last chorus made it 🔥🔥
if a baseball jersey were merch I’d snatch it up so quick
This rly captures that feeling of insecurity when everyone around you says theyre not good enough ("everybody thinks theyre semi pro") when they seem okay. Then you compare yourself to them and come to the realization that you might just be in rockbottom ;_; It shows that it's alright to quit or let go of things that don't feel good doing anymore. The sense of self worth shouldnt be tied our careers or routines. What's important is we keep improving from every experience. Ever since Bambi was released, theyve been making more songs like these (which I call "Self-care Campus" xd) and while I really miss the old Hippo sound and lyric style, theres a lot to love about the new songs too
this is a theme of my life at this point. I sometimes think of myself as a semi-pro, like opportunities passed me by, if i do good then great, if i do bad, then ok. I know there are different meaning to this, so, this is what I picked.
I'm really liking the sound of the two singles so far! I hope bang bang is as good as the live version was. If it is, I think this album is going to be another masterpiece!!!
