Imagine a beat

I went too far and now I can’t see

I can’t think comprehensively

Cant manifest what I’m meant to be

Everybody’s looking and they’re looking at me.

Paranoid living and I’m looking lively

Dont know what I’m doing and I cannot really see

The vibe in the place is feeling quite clean

And my buddy’s right here sitting next to me.

Lights shine bright and the speakers bust a breeze

We all jump up and move wildly

To the rhythm and the beat of the demon MC

Feel it really deep, the bass touch me.

Moving my body to its mental capacity

Shivers down my spine like its overtly happening

Tapping up that rhythm like the rhythm was attacking me

And it was, I’m leaving happily.
