Lab Rules
AsapSCIENCE Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Working on the lab and I′m Thinking about safety
(Got goggles drawn,
And labcoats on) Open-toe shoes outta here Are you going crazy?
(Things could go wrong, things could go wrong)
My gloves
They make me safe around chemicals, my chemicals
My love Tie back your hair and prep materials, the materials
One, do not you taste or sniff You know you should be wafting if you're taking a whiff
Two; do not mix it in Until the label is checked again
Three no food or drin Unless you
Wanna have to find you dead in the morning
And if you follow this, you will mitigate the risk
I got lab rules I count ′em
I got lab rules I count 'em
Long hair tired back against myself
I got lab rules I count 'em
Now go and tell′ em to a friend
One, do not you taste or sniff
You know you should be wafting if you′re taking a whiff
Two; do not mix it in Until the label is checked again
Three no food or drin Unless you
Wanna have to find you dead in the morning

And if you follow this, you will mitigate the risk
I got lab rules I count 'em
