Mix It Up

[Verse 1] I pour the first drop, watch it wake Matter got rules, baby, learn the shake Everything's made of atoms that move Little tiny dancers with something to prove Solid, liquid, gas in a row Shape shift fast when the temp goes low Hot makes motion, cold makes it slow That's chemistry, now you know [Chorus] Mix it up, mix it up Watch it change, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough [Verse 2] Take an element, pure as can be One kind of atom, one family tree Gold stays gold, oxygen breathes Carbon builds life in the bones and leaves Put two together, that’s a compound deal Salt on the tongue, water feels real New shape, new name, new set of traits That’s how the lab keeps opening gates [Chorus] Mix it up, mix it up Watch it change, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough [Verse 3] Now check the chart with the rows in line Periodic table, every box on time Left to right, the patterns talk Valence voices in a marching walk Same column, cousins, same kind of vibe Different weight but the same inside Groups and periods, learn the code Chemistry’s map on a heavy road [Chorus] Mix it up, mix it up Watch it change, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough [Verse 4] Protons, neutrons, electrons spin Core holds tight while the shell rushes in Protons say what the atom is Neutrons add weight to the ghostly biz Electrons jump when the energy rises In and out with electric disguises Gain one, lose one, charge comes through Ions bite back when the balance is due [Chorus] Mix it up, mix it up Watch it change, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough [Verse 5] Acids burn with a sour face Bases calm like a cold, clean place pH tells where the balance falls Low runs sharp, high softens the calls Conservation keeps the count alive Nothing’s gone, it just changes drive From one form to another it goes That’s the science under the show [Bridge] Count the pieces, never lose the track What goes in comes out, keep it stacked Add a spark, then step back slow Watch the whole dark room glow Name the parts, then name the link That’s how you learn to think [Final Chorus] Mix it up, mix it up Watch it change, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough Mix it up, mix it up Now you know, mix it up Atoms move, atoms touch Tiny rules, big enough
