Jumprope Lyrics - Dessa

Girls on the block 

Turn rope calling out 

The same games 

That I played: 

It goes turn around, then jump 

Touch the ground, then jump 

Wake up to find work 

And look for love 

But when that rope comes 

Round you jump 

That rope comes round you jump 

Jump 

Jump 

Jump 

You sterilize the needle with 

A lighter and a prayer 

You sew your empty pockets closed 

Cut off all your hair 

You train up on the mountaintop 

To weaponize the blood 

You bring your body back to sea 

Level to see what body does 

And it runs 

And it runs 

And it runs

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now 

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now

You hope you get the fast horse 

Some of what you ask for 

Never let a broken heart k-keep 

You from the dance floor 

Have a little fun 

Have a little fun 

Girls on the block 

Turn rope calling out 

The same games 

Turn around 

Touch the ground 

Wake up to find work and look for love 

But when what rope comes round - 

Rope comes round you jump 

Jump 

Jump 

Jump 

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now 

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now 

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now 

It was just jumprope then 

You try not to get hit 

You try to stay in 

Don't let em talk that down 

It's still jumprope now
