lyrics

[verse 1]
Slow motion occurs as the wristwatch tick-tocks
Simultaneously, attempting to decipher xeroxed ink blots
The ink’s hot when transferred from the pen to the page
Cooled with a level head in this day in age
No mensa mentality to make dots connected
This section’s infested with infected
Administer one anecdote through refined rhythm and rhyme
Using a fine grind that purposefully redefined
The time’s right to shine light and shine bright
Vision’s blurry, so I got glasses to aid my eyesight
Gotta cleanse my lenses, up my defenses
Deflect impure intensions
But it’s a hundred percent set, I’m gonna slip
According to math, I’m gonna need advice to get a grip
A tight hold, that’s what I need
But it’s vital that we all take heed

[chorus]
Let the record spin, like the globe go
Let your flame burn with a slow glow
Illuminate let it show so
Shimmer shimmer shimmer
Let the record spin, like the globe go
Let your flame burn with a slow glow
Illuminate let it show so
Shimmer shimmer shimmer


[verse 2]
At times, life can reach some level of complication
Often resulting in some kind of disheveled concentration
We can feel out of placement, be at our direst
The aftermath of toppled dominoes at it’s finest
Know that even the strongest have their weakest days
And some overcome obstacles in seemingly secret ways
Being a clone is something I don’t like to see
You’re one of a kind, so be who you were made to be
Me, I’m a simple man who likes simple things
Like leaving tracks sizzling for those listening
I rock what I got, it’s hot, like fresh coffee in the pot
Know what I’m doing is not all for naught
We got things to do, true, so be like Scooby Doo
With the crew and get a clue or two
We don’t gotta lot of time to do what we gotta do
Soon, we gotta break through


[chorus]
Let the record spin, like the globe go
Let your flame burn with a slow glow
Illuminate let it show so
Shimmer shimmer shimmer
Let the record spin, like the globe go
Let your flame burn with a slow glow
Illuminate let it show so
Shimmer shimmer shimmer
