-----LYRICS------
Wires got crossed when I was about 3
Dad had bloody heavy hands, used them on me
My mamma? Bless her heart, cuz she gave me a start
She got killed, bad man, dad stiffed in a scam
Grew up in the system, bounced, couple homes
This woman Mary, gifted me hand-me-down clothes
Shy at the start, till this guy named Shifty
Who had 100 pounds on me called me “Brittle Bones Nicky”
A target aimed straight at my face
Big house of kids, cred is cake
Rounded up a couple bucks, got it freshly baked
Sat down to dinner
Put it right in his face
Right in his fucking face (in his face)

You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
X2

Bounce ahead a couple years, king of my peers
We biked the block, cheersin’ pretty girls beers
Did alright for myself, petty thefts I pulled
I dropped outta school, built a circle of bulls
Needing more money, covered head to toe
Snuck up, sucker, took his stash, and drove
The cash stashed, it was pouring in
Bulk of it up my nose
How dumb I was, twenty-one
And way out of control
The cops kicked down the door
She did a line right off my (wow!)
Said “that’s one way to go down”
Knew I was hard as rock
Knew-I-was-hard-as-rock (hard as rock)

You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
You’re not gonna push me around (no!)
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)

Bars, new world, who could I trust?
Killers were nice, smugglers were rough
Met a man named Ben, quite sharp & witty
Gave me books about money & cities
Taught me ropes, only years coulda gained
Looked out for each other, M.O’s the same
That night I heard Ben, turning 50 in May
Yellin’ so loud, two decades we aged
Found him cornered, pants down, shanked
Didn’t even think twice, man I barely blinked
(I barely blinked, I barely blinked)

If it cost me my life man id save my only friend
That’s something I could live with
I could take that till the end
x2

You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
X2

Now every morning, coffee, park
Walking around the city, deals light or dark
I’m straight edge as a punk, well mannered, and I feel free
Tried to do what I thought was best
And that’s coming to the grave with me
As I lay here in my final nights, I try to have a laugh
I didn’t win the game of life
But I’d give myself a pass

I know everyone is talking about the skeleton dancing. But can we appreciate how Happy Nicky looks seeing his friend is alive?

justrenderin

I love how these people were able to make this an ad so that others didn’t have to deal with shitty ads

tabyoshi

I love the reason he made this song he says, “I saw a old man on a park bench and I wondered what happened through his life”

agentcarl

Can we talk about how strong Nicky is. Like bro is beating two giant cops no problem then beat three inmates with a broom and that third guy was huge

Sithis

Imagine dying you ask the grim reaper how you died and then he just laughs his ass off saying you broke your neck slipping on pie lmao

sooootruuue

1st time watching: this is actually a really good ad
2nd time watching: wow, this actually has such good animation
3rd time watching: these lyrics are actually amazing
7th time watching: god this animation is so smooth
18th time watching: holy shit, this kid is ambidextrous

Nicky: literally begins a prison brawl

Skeleton Nicky: t h e y ‘ r e g r o o v I n g

yetisreeseman

“If it cost me my life, man I’d save my only friend” is pure poetry and one of the best lines ever

Anyone else wanna talk about how OP Nicky is. This dude is easily dominating 3v1 fights and knocking men 2x his build off their feet with 1 punch.

agentboi

the smile he gives his buddy at 2:36 is so perfect.

jokehouse

His smile after he saved his friend was so wholesome

I like how this song implies Ben is a murderer, "killers were nice, smugglers were rough", and Ben was extremely kind to Nicky, so Ben could be a killer, which would make sense why hes in jail and why he's in hell in the second song.
