Scrambling a cube
As I stumble to venue
Practicing a solve
Load the schedule from the menu
Yawn and stretch
And try to come to life

Jump on the stage
Give my puzzle to the judge and
When I get called
Give the timer just a nudge
To get in my lane heading straight for 6-2-5

Cubing 6-2-5
You just gotta keep on solving
Try to fix the sides
While they're constantly revolving
They just twist and turn
But I have so much to master
Even though I try, I just can't… solve it faster!

6-2-5, it's a lifestyle and mindset
You would think that I
Would put my nose down to the grindset
Want to look ahead
But my cube won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that puzzle's out to get me

You do a solve
And you get into the flow
It seems so fast
Yet the end result is slow
But you've got dreams
To beat that time some day

You're in the same comps
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your skip'll come in
'n' the side's gonna turn
And the last layer's gone your way

6-2-5, yeah
A time that's for the ages
Long as you're alive
That is simply where the gauge is
It's a young kid's game
They just plan it in inspection
And you spend your life
Tryin' to go in that direction
