[Intro]
Late night flicker
Screen glow, ashtray
Beat got a limp
But it still don’t stray
[Verse 1]
Glass on the table
Cold ring on my palm
Bass line crooked
But it keeps me calm
Vinyl dust dancing
In a sideways loop
Snare hit limping
Like it jumped the stoop
Words drip heavy
Off a chipped gold tooth
Laugh in the echo
Then I bend that truth
[Chorus]
Glitch in the pocket, still on time
I break, I stutter, then I climb
Jazz in the veins, rap on the spine
Glitch in the pocket, still on time
[Verse 2]
Coat on the chair
Bills in a rubber band
Phone face cracked
Like it understands
hi-hat chatter
Like teeth in the cold
Kick drum stagger
With a heart too old
I trip on the rhythm
Then land on the beat
[low vocal register] Make wrong feel right
When it loops on repeat
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Cut
Splice
Turn that flaw to ice
Every little skip
Got a sacrifice
I miss one step
Then I double back
Trip over silence
Turn it to an attack
[Chorus]
