Lyrics:
Is it heavy in your heart?
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind?
I could feel it from the start
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind?
Mind, mind, mind
Is there something on your mind, mind, mind?
Is there something on your
All the ways that you are, never seem to be the same
How you move, how you are, never’s gonna get you far
I say they won’t forget you
even through the ups and downs
And if you think they can forget you, dance your way out
Is it heavy in your heart?
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind?
I could feel it from the start
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind?
Mind, mind, mind
Is there something on your mind, mind, mind?
Is there something on your—
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mi-mi-mi-mind, mind?
Is there something on your (Too much)
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mi-mi-mi-mind, mind? (Too much on my mind, let it burn)
All my life, had to fight, back up against the window
Retaliation into spite, move around like Soprano
Itchin’, every day’s the weekend, wish I woke up peakin’
I might say the worst thing, I can’t hear a reason
Judgin’ me, but truth be told, I’m no worse than your deacon (Uh)
I might trade it all in for this one Egyptian (Woo)
While my eyes rollin’ (Yeah), I can hear you snifflin’ (Woo)
Tears fallin’ down your face while my feelings missin’
Is it heavy in your heart?
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind? Hmm
I could feel it from the start
Why won’t you stop dancing? Is there something on your mind?
Mind, mind, mind (Yeah)
Is there something on your mind, mind, mind? (Yeah)
Is there something on your (Let it burn)
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mi-mi-mi-mind, mind?
Is there something on your
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mi-mi-mi-mind, mind?
Is there something on your
𝐋𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐬:
I be that cool cat walking out the spaceship
Gone are the days when you rocked with the ancient
And the setting sun in your eye where I placed it
They tried to feed my heart to a lion and so I faced it
Money bag chasing, history erasing
Brainwashed masses, always complacent
Down in the basement where I learned the alchemy
Now I got the za that could probably defy gravity
Cool ass jazz man dancing under the ceiling fan
Move back goddamn, moving just like a kilogram
All around the world today that is the measurement
Dropping acid everyday when I was a little kid
Roach clip dope shit, thrown in a predicament
No shit broski, know that I be spitting shit
Really in the mix like primordial soup
They be talking mad shit but I know it ain’t true
I be that cool cat made out of particles
Laid back dripping and the flow is diabolical
The genuine article and original style god
Go back in time put this track on your iPod
Cyborg time traveller, lyric unraveller
Fasten in the passengers I got the flux capacitor
Faster than the speed of light, smoking on the kind weed
Music is vibration and its something that we all need
Jump up get down so I can tell you all about it
Pumped for the breakdown and everybody wanna party
Annunaki immortal the rap demigod
Balance light up the edge of the pulsar
Passport stranger, slang evaporator
Throw a wack MC straight into the hamper
Chilling in the hangar with the crew and the pilot
Shine bright 23 stay ultra-violet
