[Verse 1]
The boom boom bap
The tap-a-tap-tap
Well, that's the beat of my life
A weak heart drop
Oh poppa, don't stop
Bittersweet about life
[Chorus]
You know the bar-room belles
Well, they're calling
You know their perfume smells like blood
If hooks could kill
Singin' dollar, dollar bill
Well, that's the beat of my life
[Verse 2]
The Zigaboo kick
A Jimmy Chank lick
Well, that's the beat of my heart
A come again cut
A whu' telling you what
That's the betterist part
[Chorus]
You know the bar-room boys
Well, they've fallen
And Juice Joint Jane got high
If hooks could kill
Singin' dollar, dollar bill
On the street of my heart
[Bridge]
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat
Play it over and over again
Play it over and over again
Let me know, let me know, let me know
I am yours and I'm ready to go
[Verse 3]
The yes-yes-y'all
Was the siren call
To come around to my life
I said big beat drum
Here it kitty come come
That's the sound of my life
[Chorus]
The brewski point was calling
I got bellywash blood in my heart
The boom boom bap
The tap-a-tap-tap
And that's only the start
[Bridge]
I'll wait till December, baby
I'll wait till my hands stay still
And then in December, baby
I'm in for the cure or kill
[Bridge]
