about
Winter in Canada is time to get away, and Toronto artist Death by Tapioca has some adventurous destinations in mind. On “Airtime," he swings from one scenic location to the next including the luminous Tokyo skyline and natural settings of New Zealand. Over a bounce-heavy instrumental by producer JU$TUNLTD, Death by Tapioca's laidback flow and quirky wordplay detail picturesque mountain settings, ziplining, ocean views and snorkeling. After two years in a pandemic with major travel limitations, “Airtime” is the inspiration listeners need to pull out the sunscreen and book a spontaneous flight.
lyrics
Shorty lemme give you this airtime
Pick the destination and the airline
We can do it all on your time
Only got time for a good time
Luggage - check
Bookings - check
Plans - check
Freedom - check
We’ll be giddy with excitement, ain’t no use in trying to hide it
You deserve it, girl it’s all for you
Dust off your tops, email your boss
Take your vacation, we’ll travel far
Don’t need too much, you can pack light
Don’t need a fit, that goes past your thighs
Big city lights, Japan on your radar
20 hour flight, from here to Haneda
Soak up all the sights, spirited away
Infinity mirrors, see yourself on holiday
Shop til you cop, summer don’t stop
Night market stalls, for corn on the cob
Art galleries, trains passing trees
First climb a mountain, then feel the breeze
Snorkel with the fishes seeing every colour
Bungee jumping off of bridges farthest thing from comfort
Sunburnt, all good, cause they come in his and hers
In some fresh sheets when it’s time for slumber
Shorty lemme give you this airtime
Pick the destination and the airline
We can do it all on your time
Only got time for a good time
Luggage - check
Bookings - check
Plans - check
Freedom - check
We’ll be giddy with excitement, ain’t no use in trying to hide it
You deserve it, girl it’s all for you
Picture yourself, toes in the sand
Water rushing over, feet pressing down
All you can think, is how good it feels
To crash into waves, to tan on the beach
Next thing you know, you’re in the sky
Float by the coast, hands waving hi
When you look down, the sea shows a smile
Dolphins are jumping, you feel so alive
Doing things for the very first time
Trading in the subway, for a zip line
Not a dress rehearsal, this is our life
Parks and recreation, every last time
I wanna know know know know
How far you’re willing to go go go go
Hit up New Zealand on the low low low low
Don’t tell anybody just show show show show
Bay-ba-ba-baby
Shorty lemme give you this airtime
Pick the destination and the airline
We can do it all on your time
Only got time for a good time
Luggage - check
Bookings - check
Plans - check
Freedom - check
We’ll be giddy with excitement, ain’t no use in trying to hide it
You deserve it, girl it’s all for you
Airtime, caller number fine
Sunshine, in the wintertime
Nothing much to ask for, just your passport
Flyest at the airport, even at the airport
Airtime, caller number fine
Sunshine, in the wintertime
Nothing much to ask for, just your passport
Flyest at the airport, even at the airport
