Limp Bizkit

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Check out your dad with the swag on the floor
Mama gon' brag when I walk in the door
Y'all ain't ever seen a guerrilla in the mist
Walk the line so fine with a blindfold (Uh)
Keep in mind though
Hot dad riding in on a rhino
Got the roll-under-rap with the dad vibes
Now everybody bounce with the franchise (C'mon)

[Chorus]
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da

[Verse 2]
Damn, this dad like a rivеr
Flow so cold, need ice to deliver
Drop so hard likе a rock (Like a rock), dad don't stop (Don't stop)
So damn clean, he a mop (Uh, sugar)
Sugar cane (Cane), down with the mane (Mane)
Dad so sweet that his nickname candy
Y'all been gone for a minute (Yup)
Dad vibe bounce to the finish, I can get with that
[Chorus]
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da

[Bridge]
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, la-di-da
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, now shut up, here we go again

[Chorus]
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em
New kid back on the block with a R.I.P. 
Dad got the sag in the back with a drip
Come and get a sip, la-di-da

Attention, nu metalheads! The long-awaited sixth studio album by Limp Bizkit, STILL SUCKS, is coming closer and closer to its official release date, and the band has already shared the lead single: "Dad Vibes." The track, which was first played at Lollapalooza in Chicago in July 2021 and became viral thanks to Fred Durst's "dad" look, was released on September 30, 2021, via Suretone Records, a label set up by former Interscope/Geffen Records CEO Jordan Schur.

About Dad Vibes

"Dad Vibes" is a quintessential Limp Bizkit track that combines the band's signature elements of nu metal, rap rock, and funk. Durst's rapping flows effortlessly over Rivers' bassline and Otto's drums, while Borland's guitar riffs provide an extra dose of aggression and groove. The track's lyrics, sung by Durst with his trademark shouts and whispers, are a tongue-in-cheek ode to fatherhood and middle-age life.

The song starts with a catchy guitar riff and a pounding drum beat that sets the tone for Durst's rap. He starts by poking fun at himself, saying "I'm not a ladies' man, I'm a landmine," while Borland's guitar throws in some funky licks. The chorus is a straightforward sing-along that one cannot resist joining in with Durst singing "Woah, I got that dad vibe." The second verse talks about Durst's love for his children and how he takes care of them, even though he is not the "cool dad."

As the song progresses, Borland, Rivers, and Otto show off their prowess with an interlude that breaks off from the song's main structure, giving Borland a chance to showcase his guitar-playing talent. Durst comes back for the third verse, singing about his struggles with getting old and how he is no longer in touch with the current trends or social media. The song ends with a guitar solo that lasts just long enough to showcase the band's musicianship and keeps listeners wanting more.

"Dad Vibes" was produced by Durst, Purps, and Zakk Cervini and written by Durst, Borland, Rivers, and Otto. The track exemplifies all of Limp Bizkit's trademarks, from Durst's aggressive rapping to Rivers' funk-infused basslines to Borland's virtuoso guitar playing. It's a song that is meant to be played loud, enjoyed, and sung by any self-proclaimed "dad rocker" out there.

In Summation

The long-awaited release of Limp Bizkit's sixth studio album STILL SUCKS is upon us, and its lead single "Dad Vibes" is a classic Limp Bizkit track that is sure to please old fans and newcomers alike. It's an ode to fatherhood and middle-age life that combines rap rock, nu metal, and funk in a way that only Limp Bizkit can. Fred Durst's rapping, Sam Rivers's bass lines, and John Otto's drums all come together to create a sonic assault that is both catchy and powerful. Borland's guitar riffing and soloing provide an additional layer of musicality that elevates the song to another level. Whether you're a father or not, "Dad Vibes" is one song you should not miss out on.
