+ Show full styles

[INTRO] [Smoky Rhodes • brushed jazz drums • muted trumpet • warm bass guitar • distant crowd texture] Berries: Easy… Let the room breathe. DJBIGSHOT: Yeah… This one got that late-night flavor. Clock it baby, yeah. [VERSE 1] She walked in like she owned no one’s attention But somehow every eye changed direction No diamonds screaming, just a little gold And a rhythm in her body that could never be sold She don’t move in straight lines She bends where the bass bends Little jazz in the fingertips Little Africa in the hips Trumpet talking in the background Rhodes laying silk on the floor Then the drum got that Amapiano bounce And she said, “Give me more.” [PRE-HOOK] Don’t rush that… Leave a little space… Let the kick land first Then let the waist translate One step forward Two steps back She catches the groove Before it catches her [HOOK] GOLD ON THE FLOOR She make the whole room shine GOLD ON THE FLOOR That rhythm should be illegal tonight Move like water Hit like thunder Sweet little jazz With the bass down under GOLD ON THE FLOOR Baby, give me that flavor Don’t stop now We can talk about it later [POST-HOOK] Ooh… That little move… Berries: You saw that? DJBIGSHOT: Everybody saw that. Clock it baby, yeah. [VERSE 2] She got a vintage soul But the attitude brand new Rhodes playing something old While the drum makes something move Little Afrobeat bounce Little South African swing She don’t need a chorus She can make the whole room sing Her friends screaming, “Again!” She just laughs and turns around Log drum drops underneath her Now nobody wants to sit down [PRE-DROP] [Beat strips to bass pulse + finger snaps] Berries: Wait… DJBIGSHOT: Hold it. Berries: Don’t give them the drop yet. DJBIGSHOT: Let them sweat. [Silence] Berries: Now. DJBIGSHOT: DROP! [HEAVY DROP] BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! GOLD ON THE FLOOR! WINE! GOLD ON THE FLOOR! TURN! GOLD ON THE FLOOR! DROP LOW! Kick in the chest Log drum underneath Jazz in the melody Fire in the feet AYYY! Don’t dance for the room Dance for yourself CLOCK IT! [BREAKDOWN] [Rhodes solo • muted trumpet • live bass • soft percussion] Berries: What’s your favorite part? DJBIGSHOT: When the bass disappears… Berries: And? DJBIGSHOT: Everybody leans in. Berries: Then? DJBIGSHOT: We bring it back harder. [BUILD] Rhodes… Trumpet… Shaker… Kick… Log drum… Bass… Berries whisper: Feel that. [FINAL DROP] BOOOOOOM! GOLD ON THE FLOOR! Sweet soul… Heavy drum… Amapiano pocket… HERE WE COME! GOLD ON THE FLOOR! Wine with the rhythm… Move with the bass… Smile like you know… THIS IS YOUR PLACE! Cape Town! Lagos! Accra! Jozi! No borders… No labels… JUST FLAVOR! DJBIGSHOT X BERRIES! CLOCK IT BABY YEAH! [OUTRO] [Trumpet fades over Rhodes and rolling percussion] Berries: Gold looks good on the floor. DJBIGSHOT: Especially when it’s moving. BIG SHOT.
