Family Force 5 - Cray Button Lyrics
Lyrics
I will show you crazy, I'm a maniac
No more final warning, I'm not holding back
I ain't going nowhere, let the roof cave in
Time to blow up something, here goes nothing
Watch me hit the cray button
Cray (x3)
Let's get cray
Turn it all the way up
Got a double dose of bass
You'll love this so much
Get out of your head
Get out of your skull
If you ain't gettin' cray
Then you ain't got a pulse
A lunatic, a time bomb just got dropped
I get cray all day, it's my full time job
Wild like a wolfpack, howlin' at the moon
Attack, attack, you got bitten by the boom
I ain't going nowhere, let the roof cave in
Time to blow up something, here goes nothing
Watch me hit the cray button
Cray (x3)
Put your fives in the sky if you're feelin' alive
Throw ten in the air 'cause you don't care
Cray Bans on, rock your cranium
3-2-1, detonation
I wonder what happens when I hit the cray button?
I guarantee the whole place starts jumpin'
Imma do it!
Watch me hit the cray button
I hit the cray button
I pledge allegiance to the U.S.Cray

Meaning & Inspiration
Family Force 5's "Cray Button," released as part of their 2012 *III.V - EP*, is an electrifying anthem that, at its core, invites listeners to shed inhibitions and embrace life with unbridled passion. While the title and energetic delivery might suggest simple, unadulterated revelry, a deeper look reveals a call to unchain oneself from the mundane and tap into a profound, vibrant spirit. The song's narrative is one of intentional self-liberation, a deliberate choice to break free from societal or personal restraints. Phrases like "No more final warning, I'm not holding back" and "Time to blow up something, here goes nothing" underscore this commitment to radical authenticity. It's about recognizing a latent capacity for exhilaration and choosing to activate it, to "hit the cray button" as a metaphor for unlocking an inner dynamism. This resonates powerfully with the biblical encouragement to live fully and without fear. Consider the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 3:17, "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." "Cray Button" embodies this freedom, urging listeners to move beyond the confines of doubt and hesitation. The repeated invitation to "Get out of your head / Get out of your skull" speaks to a spiritual discipline of quieting the anxious thoughts that can paralyze us, much like Jesus teaching in Matthew 6:25, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear." The song advocates for a similar shedding of excessive worry, replacing it with a joyful engagement with the present moment, a sentiment echoed in Ecclesiastes 9:7, "Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do." The "double dose of bass" and the call to "Turn it all the way up" can be interpreted not just as sonic intensity, but as a plea to amplify the good, the true, and the beautiful within and around us. The declaration, "If you ain't gettin' cray then you ain't got a pulse," is a vivid, albeit secular, parallel to the New Testament emphasis on having a living faith, a faith that is active and vibrant, not dormant. It's a call to be alive in spirit, to possess that divine spark that animates and compels. The song's playful yet resolute declaration of allegiance to "the U.S.Cray" can be understood as a commitment to a personal kingdom of joy and exuberance, a chosen way of being that prioritizes a life lived to its fullest, in alignment with the spirit of vibrant, uninhibited worship.
