Chopped & Swung (versión 2)

Verse

Vocal chopped in half, hangs on the snare

Swing on the hi-hat, lands in the air

My shoulder drops before the kick even hits

Grid gone crooked, body follows the bits

Snip of a voice stretched thin like tape

Heel finds pocket in the gap it makes

Two-step wobble, weight on the "and"

Sample stutters, we don't understand

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps folding where the edit bites

Nobody counting, we just catching flights

Off the one, off the two, still in the pack

Chop keeps pulling us a half-beat back

Chorus

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Feet catch the gap where the phrase gets hung

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Body finds the pocket, mind stays young

Verse

Engineer's razor, cut it on a slant

Vowel gets stretched like it's begging, can't

Reverb tail dragging behind the snare

Room full of bodies swaying off-square

Shuffle drops sideways, ankle rolls through

Chop hits early, we let it come to

Nobody's phone out, nobody's still

Loop keeps bending, we bend with the skill

Pre-Chorus

Time keeps folding where the edit bites

Nobody counting, we just catching flights

Off the one, off the two, still in the pack

Chop keeps pulling us a half-beat back

Chorus

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Feet catch the gap where the phrase gets hung

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Body finds the pocket, mind stays young

Bridge

Slice it thinner, let the vowel bend

Snare comes late, don't call it the end

Every gap's a doorway, every stutter's a key

We're stepping through the edit, letting the chop lead we

Chorus

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Feet catch the gap where the phrase gets hung

Chopped and swung, chopped and swung

Body finds the pocket, mind stays young
