[Intro] [spoken] No drum kit. No sampler. No machine. Just a mouth... and a microphone. [Beatbox Intro] B-tk pf tss b-b pf tss Doom ka tss ka doom pf tss Chk tk boom ka chk tss day Everything rhythm starts this way [Verse 1] [groove] I got a kick in my chest when I breathe through the line Got a snare on the lip and it lands right on time Hi-hats in the teeth going tick tick tick Whole beat in the face and it sounds that quick No wires in the room, no sticks in the hand Just lungs and a tongue making people understand When the groove gets tight and the pocket sits deep Even silence starts moving inside of the beat [Chorus] Boots and cats, boots and cats Turn that phrase to acrobats Kick and snare, snap and clap Build a whole world from the trap B-pf tss, B-pf tss Hear the rhythm in the lips One mic stand, no tricks like that Heartbeat talking through beatbox scat [Verse 2] Bass from the throat goes low-low-low Wind through the nose make the hi-hats flow Tongue click left then a pop to the right Tiny little sounds make a groove ignite Every little breath got a place to land Every pause matters when you got command Not too perfect, keep the timing alive That human swing makes the whole thing thrive [Bridge] [spoken teacher tone] Kick drum... Snare... Hi-hat... Now combine them. [Beatbox Break] B doom tss ka pf ka tss Chk doom pf chk ka yes Brrr ka tk tk tss tss glide Now let the bassline ride [Final Chorus] Boots and cats, boots and cats Turn that phrase to acrobats Kick and snare, snap and clap Build a whole world from the trap B-pf tss, B-pf tss Hear the rhythm in the lips One mic stand, no tricks like that Heartbeat talking through beatbox scat [Outro] [dry mic close] No drum kit... No machine... Just rhythm... And breath.
