[Intro]
[cartoon siren, vinyl stop]
World tour in a shoebox
Brick walls, stickers on the fuse box
Mic smells like cheap beer, blue chalk
Marking where the crew walks (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Passport code in my rhyme scheme
One bar feel like nine scenes
Tokyo tags on my white tee
São Paulo dust on my Nikes
Subway rumble in the cadence
Basement packed, crowd weightless
I spit glitch, jump frames in the sentence
Every punch swing like a vengeance
Bubblegum sweet when I set up
Jaw break quick when it’s head-up
YouTube kids press replay
Old heads nod like “okay”
Turntables talk in the corner
Needle doing parkour on the border
Cartoon hits when the bar land
Pow on the screen, that’s a bar stamp (pow!)
[Chorus]
Around the world in a one-take verse
Battles in the back of the comic-book store
Laugh when I cook you, that’s light work
Candy-coated hooks with a cracked stage floor
Underground circus, step right in
Bright colors, dark jokes, all that spin
If you want smoke, come draw that line
Around the world, this round is mine (this round is mine)
[Verse 2]
Freestyle fever in a phone booth
Four heads squeezed in, no aloof
Beat from a busted Bluetooth
Still make the whole block move
I got slang from the ports and the bodegas
Mixing dialects like flavors
Little bit of London in the cadence
Little bit of Queens in the patience
Crowd go “ohhh” when I fake slip
Then I switch grip, blade in the ad-lib
Name on the wall in a spray script
Every L earned is a base hit
I clown you gentle at first
Then crank the satire, that hurts
Sound effects running in the background
Boing when you fall, that’s the smackdown (boing!)
[Chorus]
Around the world in a one-take verse
Battles in the back of the comic-book store
Laugh when I cook you, that’s light work
Candy-coated hooks with a cracked stage floor
Underground circus, step right in
Bright colors, dark jokes, all that spin
If you want smoke, come draw that line
Around the world, this round is mine (yeah, this round is mine)
[Bridge]
Bounce, bounce, who want round two? (hey!)
Stage so small but the flame so huge
From the alley to the anime frame
You just an extra, I’m center of the game
[Chorus]
Around the world in a one-take verse
Battles in the back of the comic-book store
Laugh when I cook you, that’s light work
Candy-coated hooks with a cracked stage floor
Underground circus, step right in
Bright colors, dark jokes, all that spin
If you want smoke, come draw that line
Around the world, this round is mine (this round is mine)
