Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Check it

Uh-huh

Verse 1

Blocked in at the corner store

Got a crate of 45s pressed from before

Back when the bassline hit like a door

Slammed on the knuckles of anyone who bore

The weight of a record needle dropped on wax

I spin it back twice make the floor collapse

Pre-Chorus

Crate full of scratch

Crate full of scratch

Chorus

Spin the sample till the morning light

Cut the drum break hold it tight

Every pop and hiss is a souvenir

From a time that never left me here

Post-Chorus

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Yeah

Verse 2

Found a horn stab on a B-side flip

Tape hiss like gravel on my fingertips

Ripped the loop out stitched it back again

Old soul choir singing let me in

Stacked the kick with a two-note hum

Ten seconds looped till the neighbors come

Pre-Chorus

Crate full of scratch

Crate full of scratch

Chorus

Spin the sample till the morning light

Cut the drum break hold it tight

Every pop and hiss is a souvenir

From a time that never left me here

Post-Chorus

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Yeah

Bridge

Mono speakers creak

Needle whisper back to speak

Mono speakers creak

Say it one more week

Chorus

Spin the sample till the morning light

Cut the drum break hold it tight

Every pop and hiss is a souvenir

From a time that never left me here

Post-Chorus

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Check it yeah

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

Yeah
