We wanted to follow it

But we didn't know where it was going

Where it was going to go

And we couldn't do it, with years like these

Now, we can imitate it, for you

If you'd like

Okay, listen closely

Welcome your new alpha and omega

On my worst behavior with the finest style and flavor

Face saver, rule-maker, soothsayer and bone breaker

Paper chaser, my fruits of labor always make you catch the vapors

So listen now and think later

I spit ink to fill your blank slate up

You bound to blink as I shake your face up

Can't escape to places that you made up

You a played-out play-doh fake that I can play up

Villains beware

I'm spinnin' round in my chair 180 in here

Rhythmic tear making it clear

The terror ain't puttin' on airs

I'm running careers

Stun starlets with the sun in my stare

Truth or dare

I'm the pilgrimage to black roses

Strange shapes that make you lose focus

Shadow lingering beside your locus

Spittin' sigils to make you wiggle

Tracks go plat and make-a-lots

Then give it all back to the little

Hear it but don't believe it like Cassandra

Pleading with me to have some sympathy for you goners

But me lookin' at you, I can't see that much that's in common

I suggest you should keep your honor and your whining

We talking bout some real good futures

If I can make you believe the nicest cop will still shoot ya

Nicest block will still loot ya shiny stock

Takin' it off the top the jump off

Disturb your cash flow, your sum's off

That somebody been fucking with my check face

Your anger is misplaced

Your angle is misjudged

You think it was just us

But it was your mistake

You just better trust us

You're already so late

Accept the fate

The scream, the rhythm, the break

The speaker, the shake, your life, the shape

I mold, I take, you wait

I create the race and the stakes

Vibrate and thrum, the top and the side of the drum

I build, you come, relate, and hum

You play, and stay, and learn, and stray

Attack, decay, release, and make your escape

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me

1 to the 2 to the 3

Bring the rhythm to me
