[Intro] [record scratch, boom bap drums enter] Yeah [jazzy electric guitar riff] (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Late night philosophies over kick drums [Chorus] [female vocals with male ad-libs] (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Let the record spin Whole crew laugh while the world cave in Talks slick, move wise, keep rhythm intact Life hit hard but we still bounce back (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Oh, oh [Verse 1] [male rap vocals] I walk through Brooklyn with my headphones low Kick snare swing got my whole mind flow Old heads play chess by the corner store Kids still dream while the train still roar Everybody want to flex for the algorithm I just want peace in the pocket with rhythm Shorty said, "Why you joke through stress?" 'Cause laughter keep the pressure off my chest Coffee shop debates over Malcolm quotes Why the landlord raise the rent on folks? Still we toast to the nights we survive Small victories keep the soul alive [Pre-Chorus] [female vocals] And the city keep talking loud We just dance through the static now Every cracked heart got a soundtrack That's why the people keep coming back [Chorus] [female vocals] (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Let the record spin Whole crew laugh while the world cave in Talks slick, move wise, keep rhythm intact Life hit hard but we still bounce back, yo [Verse 2] [male rap vocals] My man got theories after two cheap beers Said he finna get rich by the end of the year I said, "Word?" Then he laughed and shrugged, that's humanity wrapped in a nightclub buzz Ladies rock sneakers with the gold bamboo Conversation sharp while the smoke drift blue DJ cut James Brown in the dusty breaks Whole crowd move like an earthquake shake See the rich act poor for aesthetic views And the poor act rich just to dodge bad news Funny little cycle in the social machine That's why I write bars with the cracks in between [Bridge] [mellow guitar, drums drop out] Maybe everybody just tired Maybe everybody need love Maybe the rhythm our medicine Maybe baselines hold us up [female vocal belt] Hold us up! [Chorus] [full band returns] (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Don't lose your spark Keep soul alive when the times get dark (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Stay out too late Find small joy in the heavy weight (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Yeah, uh One for the dreamers (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) One for the overthinkers (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity) Yeah [Outro] [instrumental fade with record scratches] (D-d-d-d-d-d-diggity)
