[Intro] (vinyl crackle, tape hiss, low bass hum) (old jazz-rock organ lick on a dusty loop) (tube-warm bassline rollin’ under the groove) (moog skank cuttin’ sharp on the offbeat) [Verse 1] If you wanna live, you treat me right, If you wanna live, hold me close tonight. Don’t judge my frame or my soft brown eyes, I’m tiny in the flesh but I cut like knives. Lip-gloss gleam in the alley light, Steel in my smile when I grip you tight. Whisper in your ear like a loaded laser, I’m a steppin’ Ugal, steppin’ razor. [Refrain] Bassline heavy like a street eraser, Echo in the dark: steppin’ razor. [Verse 2] I talk to the gods in the system hum, Tiamat draggin’ while the drums go dum. Marduk flash lightning in the concrete rain, I wine through the smoke with a serpent brain. Show me respect when I walk that street, Lion in my hips and a blade in my beat. Test me once, you gon’ taste that laser, I’m a steppin’ Ugal, steppin’ razor. [Refrain] Bassline heavy like a street eraser, Echo in the dark: steppin’ razor. [Outro / Dub Break] (casual laugh through the talkback mic) “Run that loop back, lemme ride that bass again…” (drum and bass strip down, highs swept low and warm) (spring reverb smash on the snare, vocal whisper in delay) (steppin’ razor… razor… razor… fading into tape hiss)
