[Intro — cold open, glitch whisper] Water of Vu Ci in a cracked cup, Atsì Atsì— achoo— bless up. Christoff in Dome, thoughts echo chrome, I walk with the static like it’s my home. Zone Five neon, spaza lights blink, Shake it all about like a nervous presenter. I order the world like a menu joke, Pasta spaghetti— steak— then smoke. Pineapple pizza? extra cheddar? My mind says “yes” then says “never.” Balloons fly up— goodbye day— I walk with the static like it’s my home. Zone Five neon, spaza lights blink, Godzilla in my chest when my brakes don’t think. Er Vi Fauty Uit— say it slow, say it quick, R. V. Forty. Eight. make the whole room tick. [Verse 1 — break-sprint, DADA logic] Declarations of past in my present tense, I need what I need with no evidence. I talk in a zigzag like a blade in a ratio. None for all? enough for all? pick a door, I kick the hinge and it becomes a metaphor. [Hook — manic mantra] Peace Love Unity Togetherness Otherwise! Freya in the static, the wires keep listening. Vampire at the gate with a coupon for fear, Ghouls want receipts, I’m like “not here.” Kri kri kri— duck and chicken blood in the script, Rolllllll— hit 21— reality slips. Oranges in the mind like a focus drill, If you don’t concentrate the whole room goes ill. (Announcer) Demonstrations! We need demonstrations! I practiced my whole life for cup vibrations. Ping pong hits table— bounce once— rim— Enters the cup like a hymn in a gym. Foam dissolves— ball sinks— wait— Who wrote physics with a crooked crayon fate? I speak in “centre”— left— right— centre— Shake it all about like a nervous presenter. I order the world like a menu joke, Pasta spaghetti— steak— then smoke. Pineapple pizza? extra cheddar? My mind says “yes” then says “never.” Balloons fly up— goodbye day— Another day goes by in a strobe-lit bay. Say it like a spell in the broken light. [Intro — cold open, glitch whisper] Water of Vu Ci in a cracked cup, Atsì Atsì— achoo— bless up. Christoff in Dome, thoughts echo chrome, I walk with the static like it’s my home. Zone Five neon, spaza lights blink, Godzilla in my chest when my brakes don’t think. Er Vi Fauty Uit— say it slow, say it quick, R. V. Forty. Eight. make the whole room tick. [Verse 1 — break-sprint, DADA logic] Declarations of past in my present tense, I need what I need with no evidence. Me not get— no get me— it’s the loop in the throat, Burnt toast brain, buttered float by float. Supernovas give “wat to” give “way to,” I talk in a zigzag like a blade in a ratio. Alien, aleen— leave it alone— En ne ne en— I’m speaking in bone. Crows see crane by the river— no fish, just fuss, Dishes, wishes, mishes— all of it us. None for all? enough for all? pick a door, I kick the hinge and it becomes a metaphor. [Hook — chopped chant] Bass! Bass! Bass! Bass! Break! Break! Break! Break! Zone! Zone! Zone! Zone! VU! CI! VU! CI! Peace Love Unity Togetherness— Otherwise— Otherwise— Otherwise— Otherwise— [Verse 2 — Zone Five theatre, character-switch] (Spaza vendor voice) “This one no putta here— putta there— No putta here— checka checka— move that chair.” (Soccer commentator) Goal goal— it was beautiful— it’s here— it’s gone— Defeat in the seat, I stand up wrong. (Grieving parent, sudden cut) Wait wait wait— where is my baby— Silence in the aisle, whole world goes shaky. (Hype-man) Another one! Another one! Chains off the door— late-night fun. (Kung Fu TV) You know Kung Fu? Fool! As seen on TV— don’t break the rules. (Back to narrator) I’m laughing then crying then laughing again, Like a ringtone fighting the thunder in my pen. [Bridge — “Mudafoka” energy, but safe] Mudafoka— so… your dad? I don’t do family myths, I don’t do that. I do street-lore, loud mouth, bad timing, I do bills on the table and the air-siren whining. I do “what the—” and then I reboot, I do “my phone, my phone” when the world goes mute. I do anger as hunger in a paper mask, I do comedy as armor when the room gets tasked. [Hook — chopped chant] Bass! Bass! Bass! Bass! Break! Break! Break! Break! Zone! Zone! Zone! Zone! VU! CI! VU! CI! Peace Love Unity Togetherness— Otherwise— Otherwise— Otherwise— Otherwise— [Verse 3 — Kunt Dragula segment, horror-comedy cutaways] Blood moon up, veld wind low, Braai smoke curl like a question mark glow. Freud in the corner like “hmm… interesting,” Freya in the static, the wires keep listening. Vampire at the gate with a coupon for fear, Ghouls want receipts, I’m like “not here.” Kri kri kri— duck and chicken blood in the script, Rolllllll— hit 21— reality slips. Oranges in the mind like a focus drill, If you don’t concentrate the whole room goes ill. (Announcer) Demonstrations! We need demonstrations! I practiced my whole life for cup vibrations. Ping pong hits table— bounce once— rim— Enters the cup like a hymn in a gym. Foam dissolves— ball sinks— wait— Who wrote physics with a crooked crayon fate? [Breakdown — pure breakcore tongue-twister] Dills drills spills fills tills chills hills, Homeland calls— I answer— still. Logos pathos— pathos logos— My brain does tango with the radios. Gunas gonna— gonna gonna— Get your hand to where the lighter wanna— Star star star star star— Deadpool laughs from the back of the bar. Yin yang twins— twins twins— Which one wins when the glitch begins? [Hook — manic mantra] Peace Love Unity Togetherness Otherwise! Peace Love Unity Togetherness Otherwise! Peace Love Unity Togetherness Otherwise! Otherwise what?! Otherwise— otherwise— [Verse 4 — Godzilla engine + Vu Ci water, acceleration] Godzilla! Water of Vu Ci— I sip then sprint, My thoughts do parkour on a broken hint. Christoff in Dome— repeat the beats— loop— Define our concept of happenings— oops. I speak in “centre”— left— right— centre— Shake it all about like a nervous presenter. I order the world like a menu joke, Pasta spaghetti— steak— then smoke. Pineapple pizza? extra cheddar? My mind says “yes” then says “never.” Balloons fly up— goodbye day— Another day goes by in a strobe-lit bay. [Outro build — “Er Vi Fauty Uit” landing] Erre… Vee… Fauty… Uit… Say it like a spell in the broken light. R. V. Forty. Eight. Three becomes four and many more— wait. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Bass. Yeah I lost weight— just the middle path. Has-beens, half-dreams, fast scenes— I garden my mind where the static screams. Peace Love Unity Togetherness— Otherwise— Otherwise… otherwise… otherwise… [Final hook — hard stop] Zone Five of Vu Ci— Amandla— KWA KWA— Knockout— Er Vi Fauty Uit— R. V. 48— (cut)
