lyrics

So check it, the rhythm in the Ritz
Sophisticated allegation thrown into my mix
I want a beat with urbane bits
I also like to supplement with group hits
and like that, the beat begins to boil
so I lay down the hip-hop tracks for a while

So I'm walking down the sidewalk
The side of the street
where my feet meet the pavement
but the beat keeps me waiting
So I'm like, "James speed up" and he does

Well anyway I don't like to run
because it kind of makes me nervous
So we'll stick it with the swing
as we swing into the chorus

You've got to relax, relax, relax
Kick it to the funkier track
Hold it back while we chat
And like that, you're back

Like residual drops stop the visuals
the label's kind of blurry like fuzzy pixels
Jam like you're letting go
Hopping from block to block
kicking like Mario

Breaking up bricks in this video-game
Bowser can't touch me
because I've got no shame
Archetype mutation with a surreal twist
You know we twist apart the hours
we twist into the chorus

You've got to relax, relax, relax
Kick it to the funkier track
Kick it like the Mario man
And like that, you're back

Well I don't need to get it all
Bombastically regret the call
of a pixelated over-analyzation
of residue merged together
like the bomb
