(Rhythmic cube clacking…)

Scrambling a cube
As I stumble to venue
Practice solves
And pick up my schedule
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life

Jump on the stage
To the puzzle submission
When I get called
I hit the ignition
To get in my lane heading straight for 6-2-5

Cubin' 6-2-5
You just gotta keep on solvin'
Try'na match the sides
While they're constantly revolvin'
They just twist and turn
But I have so much to master
Even though I try, I just can't solve it any faster!

6-2-5, it's a lifestyle and mindset
You would think that I'd
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
Gettin' in the flow
It feels so fast
Yet it ends up 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

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

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 from inspection
And you spend your life
Tryin' to go in that direction

You just gotta keep on solvin'
