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
