lyrics

In the beginning there was the beat,
A massive creative percussive event,
And it was good,

I feel the music,
It's the movement,
The rhythm and the beat,
I AM moving through the molecules growing hands and mouths and feet,
Now it's just the way I talk,
Now it's just the way I think,
Shape me into buildings into concrete glass and street,
If life is music we can use it and bend it to our will,
I'm an instrument playing instruments and harmonizing is my skill,
So I play this ordered chaos but chaos plays me ordered still,


I AM the beat,
The universal melody,
The tick tock of time,
Singing my song through vibrations of life,
Life is music,
I AM the beat
The pulse of the heart the buzz of the bee,
The ebb and flow of the tide,
The revolution of the planets thoughts firing in the mind,

Requiems reborn through war torn crescendos,
Refrains and recapitulations manifest innuendos,
Modulations tremolo trill triplet register refrain,
Change the tempo,
Change your brain,
Change the game,
It'll never be the same,
Serenade,
Parts will build and upgrade,
We can't but sway,
As we move through this musical masquerade,

I AM the beat,
Manifested,
Infinite sounds the expression,
Now the boom bap tap finger snap flutes and drums,
Instruments exercising the tongue,
Letting out vibrations to build a new,
Into ear drums into the heart I blew,
life and love to awaken the mind,
Watch the stars collapse as I intertwine,
While buzzin out the eternal rhythm,
Vocalizing ancient wisdom to hit them,
With the challenging paradox in motion,
Flight on the non-dualistic ocean
Musical sound waves pulsate power,
I spin words like the buddha spins flowers,
In the begging was the beat,
and the beat became fresh so move your feet,

I AM the beat,
The universal melody,
The tick tock of time,
Singing my song through vibrations of life,
Life is music,
I AM the beat
The pulse of the heart the buzz of the bee,
The ebb and flow of the tide,
The revolution of the planets thoughts firing in the mind,

Were so deep in the music everyday ,
It's the flow rhythm and style underneath every thing we say,
Now it's just it's the way we play,
Were groovin and movin to this cadence of this display,
Don't hesitate,
Do we resonate,
Are we dissonant,
Oh this again,
Are you listening,
Well from where your sittin does it sound ok,

I AM the beat maker,
Seat shaker,
Meek player,
Sheet taker,
Expose the hater,
Great faker make her seek,
I got the technique,
While you heard like sheep asleep ,
Dropping bows till you peep,
Shit is deep but cheap,
Thats why I'm so unique,
I can't hold back the flow it breaks dams and leaks,
Its just how I creak every time I speak,
You can send your critiques,
I haven't reached my peek,
I got rhymes for weeks,
And it just wont stop it wont cease,
Till I feel at peace,
And I drop this philosopher king release,
Hold down the lease,
Whether famine or feast,
Whether God or beast,
Outlaw police,
I'm the squeak in this wheel,
Good grief can I get some grease,

I AM the beat,
The universal melody,
The tick tock of time,
Singing my song through vibrations of life,
Life is music,
I AM the beat
The pulse of the heart the buzz of the bee,
The ebb and flow of the tide,
The revolution of the planets thoughts firing in the mind,
