lyrics

So Hello and welcome to the latest in the series
Today we’re gonna show you one of my latest recipes
As we whisk together a rhyme with a beat
With a splash of a bounce to make it taste a little sweeter
Than it might have done before we’ve changed the content just a little
Where before there was a dash, we’ve changed that into a trickle
But it’s pretty much the same I hope you really like this session
So let me introduce you to this serving suggestion.
The first thing we need to do, is we need to sit and chill
The ingredients won’t mix if we don’t let them sit still
For a minute -Is there rum in it? - Well there’s certainly a kick
But that may just be a sample more than any other nip
So put the oven on high to make sure this tune’s hot
Put the bass into the mixer and just whiz it up – STOP!
I’ve forgotten something, I’m sure I have, I put it where?
Oh yeah, behind the sugar – I forgot to add the snare!

CHORUS
C’Mon Everybody, and have a little taste
The beats & the rhymes & the flavour we create
We come together, the icing on the cake
Turn the heat up - the cherry on top to decorate

So let me show you how we make this let me guide you through the method
When all the lyrics fit together, it blends so much better
Kind of binds the ingredients and keeps the jam tighter
(want to scribble that down? Fine – it’s not a secret Cypher!)
Now where were we? Ah yes, after the words add the bassline
Then lace one onto the other ‘til you think it sounds primed
And ready for energy… Now this is the crucial section
Clear the surface, Roll your sleeves up, and add your beat selection
It’s important you make sure you find exactly the right kind
Of flavour to enhance the lines you’ve written with a vibe
Get the hook line flowing right & you’ve nearly got it finished
We’re nearly there – Let’s summarise – Rewind to the beginning
Take a dash of a bounce & a pinch of a rhythm
Whatever lyrics you’ve got, make ‘em hot and blend them in
Take the rhythm & the bass – make sure that it’ll boom
Then fire up the cooker – VOILA! You got a tune!

CHORUS
