Testo First Yoke - Daniel Romano, The Outfit

First Yoke

There’s a very good chance
Should you try to alter your plans
From the hand down family dance
You’ll never make it alone
No, there’s too much risk
In a foolish swing and a miss
So knock it off now whatever it is
Because it’s written in stone
The first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don’t let the family down
You’re a good kid
You’d better do what your daddy did
God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
Down at the factory
Theres a rooted family history
So take whats handed to you blissfully
And don’t you ever run-out
If your poor heart breaks
And you wonder if you’ve made a mistake
Come on Johnny now for goodness sake
That’s not what life is about
The first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don’t let the family down
You’re a good kid
You’d better do what your daddy did
God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
How you’ll be fixed in your hate
And how the cruel world will never relate
To the sad and unfortunate fate
Of a boy with no spine
But hey you get to be friends with the cops
So you can drink and drive and never get stopped
Plus, theres always good parking spots
And hardly ever a line
The first yoke
Make your bank at the old smoke
Keep your track on a tight rope
Don’t let the family down
You’re a good kid
You’d better do what your daddy did
God forbid
You venture out and go broke
Just take the first yoke
