Clink by See You Next Year album cover
Lyrics
Alright, yeah

I'm at rehearsal reworkin' new shows to bring to sell
My mind's a mess, always rushin', I'm always late as hell
New money, new musicians move up as we excel
I get a call, it's collect, I know which prison cell

Already answered, it's too late to turn back
Most times I let them calls ring with no feelin's attached
He always call me at the worst time
And shit get awkward, always talk like it's the first time

I guess his situation just make me uncomfortable
Young and doughy-eyed, Rudy Huxtable
Empathic, combustible
I know who he is, example of a good man

I know that black fill them walls 'cause it's in high demand
He prolly need a pick-me-up to know just where the band at
Which shows I got comin' up, interviews in the hat
I know he callin' for some good news, I double-tap, decline
I'd rather set it to snooze, give him blues, than hear that

Clink, clink, clink, like convict
Clink, a-clink, clink
I heard that clink, clink, clink like convict
I heard the clink, clink

Yeah, clink, clink, clink, like convict
Clink, a-clink, clink
I heard that clink, clink, clink like convict
I heard the clink, clink

Yeah, we gather 'round the table, first year of bein' stable
Break bread that we deserve, the hours spent to truly earn
I must admit, was never firm in my belief
Religious or more distinct, so

I praise these moments, take gratitude over grief
Pay homage to the steps that delivered us to a feast
Where the empty glasses at? Man, put y'all drinks up
We got bottles comin' 'round, this ain't no cheap stuff

It was only a few that believed when I was new
Weren't the closest, but often times, I still think of you
How them calls dried up and eventually ain't come through
Hope you know my regret in lettin' comfort cloud my view

I don't know where you be at or if you gon' be back
Just know you got a placemat, I made this one just for you
Sendin' my love, hope you strong and you gettin' home soon
With glasses raised, finished toast, started gettin' the blues

I heard that clink, clink, clink like convict
Clink, a-clink, clink
I heard that clink, clink, clink like convict
I heard the clink, clink, yeah

Cool
