Drums and bass hit my empty gut
Felt the sound rise through the concrete cut
Was the beat my hope or proof on display?
A fragment sliced from a vinyl array
One noise cracked
Opened the door
In front of the SP-1200
I carved my life in war
Out for the cash
This beat’s my claim
For tomorrow’s name
No other way
I walk this track of fate
Deep in my studio where no light breaks
A darkened booth — silence starts to awake
Only the speaker bears the truth within
My wandering steps carved loops from sin
In front of the MPC-60-2
I carved meaning into every spin
Out for the cash
This beat’s my claim
For tomorrow’s name
No other way
I walk this track of fate
Still turnin’
Still out for the cash
What I carved into sound — life and meaning
That’s all I’ve got
