Sounds Connect

Well, I'm back to throw lightning with a thunderous clap

I lean on my subconscious knowledge tucked under my cap

Like a magician pulling artifacts straight out of his hat

The crowd can barely grasp this act is an actual fact

I tend to throw them off balance with my effortless moves

I guess I've got the sharpest talons that only a few

Possess, I'll make a whirlwind and leave 'em distressed

If it's the end of the world, I'll rap, gasping for breath

I might have missed a couple of "givens" all along the way

But I've been rocking on systems from the East to the Bay

I'm playing in somebody's speakers somewhere right now

In some skyscraper city, in some one-horse town

In the country, in a house that sits on top of a hill

They play my track on their system 'cause it's something they feel

And when I pop into their shuffle, they'll be checking their screen

Like, "Oh yeah, it's Donnie O's new flow on the scene"

And then they listen like an engineer, then play it again

Until the end of the year, when I'm in their top ten

They check out the video or maybe stop by the show

We might kick it for a minute, give pounds 'fore I go

Because you know, I'm keeping busy staying top of mind

Touch down in a city, leave the last one behind

Or maybe this is a city where they're looping my beat

Just because I went blitzkrieg on my latest release

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

Stay tuned forever

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

They'll check out the frequencies of the sounds I project

Stay tuned forever

They'll decide if the vibe is something they can dig

And if they don't, it's alright, it's just pearls to a pig

They can find another sound that might flip their switch

If they dig a little deeper, bound to scratch that itch

I can't explain why I love music. Look, I just do

So you know, I understand if it's the same for you

I want to cook up something special, something I can feel

And when it's ready, eat it up like it was my last meal

Then I'll release it to the masses and move on to the next

While peeps are checking out the sample, eyes scanning the text

Of the lyrics posted right there under the song

For a total duration under three minutes long

And sometimes, my songs might even track for less

Like one minute and a half would be an accurate guess

You might hear some cats saying I'm not burning it up

But when they hear this track playing, they'll be turning it up

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

Stay tuned forever

They'll stay tuned to the sounds if the sounds connect

They'll check out the frequencies of the sounds I project

Stay tuned forever
