The Rhythm

Lyrics

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 1 1
