Lyrics

What is that smell?

Smells like funk

Jesus loves me this I know

For the Bible tells me so

Little ones to Him belong

They only believe in

Drop, the beat starts with a kick

Double time hats with a snare and a kick

But the key word to the groove is a pocket

No loose change to the beat 'fore you drop it

It's true, you might have the skills

Ghost notes to kill, let it sink where it builds

Cheap thrills, if you're looking for the true groove

Simplest things are what make the heart move

Take a look back, gotta stick with the roots

Fundamental rhythms are the path to the truth

Don't be a show off, stick to the bread

And butter beats so it's off with your head

Nothing fancy, stick with the boom bap

Don't tell me that you already knew that

Trying to make that "gotta stay true" rap

And show the world a new type of new track

So with a double time rhythm

It's paramount that there's a double time flow

But if I happen to take my time

With the flow I gotta take it slow

Take it slow, around the world we go

Through all of the elements

The result? Well nobody knows

Simple steps, take simple steps

Just stick with the elements, then we'll be on our way

Simple steps, take simple steps

And stick with the elements, then we'll be on our way

Go and play it off keyboard cat

Drop, the verse starts with a "Can I get a witness?"

Trying to make a little point you really gotta get this, homes

'Cause I'm willing to admit that I reminisce

Over breaking on a studio track

And that I do kinda miss the better days of my youth

When there wasn't a booth

And there wasn't a mic but I sang to my tunes

No crowds or pressure, singing to the blue

Skies, and I didn't try to lie

Didn't try to make a little image for the world's eyes

Call it what you want, naivety's true

In the sense that the best critic was just you

Back to the point, what I'm trying to say

Is in the image of the pursuit of everyday

Should be renewed in two simple steps

Complexity is not your best bet

Anybody can do work double time

Again it's content more than the rhyme

It's taking time for planning out your path

Solutions come but you gotta do the math

Nothing beats the perks of hard work

Tilling the ground to nurture the earth

Breaking a sweat and bearing good fruit

Your character will then follow suit

So let's take a breath

In and out, close your eyes and rest

And in times of doubt

Make this your anthem, sing it out loud

So I'll take a breath

In and out, close my eyes and rest

And in times of doubt

Stick with the elements, I'll sing it out loud

Simple steps, take simple steps

Just stick with the elements, then we'll be on our way

Simple steps, take simple steps

And stick with the elements, then we'll be on our way

Jesus loves me, see His grace

On the cross, He took my place

There He suffered and He died

That I might be glorified
