[Verso 1: Kamau]

Sem malabares mirabolantes

Me aproveitando dos instantes quando nada tira a paz do meu semblante

Rasante pela estante busco nas enciclopédias

Sonoras, conhecimento pra passar da média

Amostras de como era o mundo em outras décadas

Histórias em páginas que soltam como pétalas

Lembro da Mecca das batidas que me agradam

Vasculho mentalmente memórias que não se apagam

Algumas ora afagam, ora bradam ou murmuram

Chamadas são de clássicas pelo tempo que duram

Viajo enquanto giram os ponteiros e eu nem vejo

Só escuto, se inspira é lógico, aproveito o ensejo

Segundos escorrendo pelos dedos se transformam

Em minutos peças soltas novas figuras formam

Eruditos dirão que esse empréstimo é bandido

Arrisco até ser banido mas soa bem aos ouvidos então


[Refrão: Kid Abstrakt e Kamau]

Let it fly high while listen with my eyes closed

Checking the past but wanna know what the future holds

Setting it free as hear it from the record spinning

Setting the bridge cuz it’s only the beginning

So I let it fly high while listen with my eyes closed

Checking the past but wanna know what the future holds

Setting it free as hear it from the record spinning

Setting the bridge cuz it’s only the beginning


[Verso 2: Kid Abstrakt]

Yo the jobs never finished, man these heads gotta listen

Futuristic flow but the sounds reminiscent

It’s a given, dropping these facts for impact

But couldn’t grasp the concept with a short attention spans

Here’s the plan, understand all the work that it takes

Gotta study the greats and the path that was paved

Got me diggin through the crates, and I’m searching for gold

Only move the needle back if it’s touching my soul

Got my eyes closed, my phone on airplane mode

I’m in the zone, drums banging amazing through headphones

Get it mixed and mastered, then serving it to the masses

Getting food for thought, when discovering classics

A passion, I’m crafting, passin distractions

Abs never slacken, plans into action

I’m still lowkey, letting history repeat

Sippin on guaraná while I’m killin this beat

Peace


[Refrão: Kid Abstrakt e Kamau]

Let it fly high while listen with my eyes closed

Checking the past but wanna know what the future holds

Setting it free as hear it from the record spinning

Making it breathe cuz it’s only the beginning

So I let it fly high while listen with my eyes closed

Checking the past but wanna know what the future holds

Setting it free as hear it from the record spinning

Setting the bridge cuz it’s only the beginning


[Outro]

I been listening to records I collected

Agulha no disco de vinil

Headphones on and I'm feeling this bliss

Põe o vinil no toca disco e deixa cair

Head-nod like nobody exists

Pulou o disco, o coração se emo-
