Crackle and Thump

Verse 1

Packed my whole life in a milk crate

Two turntables and a shoebox full of breaks

Uncle said the basement's where the good stuff sleeps

Dust on my knuckles from digging all week

Cracked sleeve still spins like a river

Needle skipping but the kick lands quicker

Every pop and hiss is a fingerprint

Of somebody's summer somebody's rent

Pre-Chorus

Flipped the record over

Found the four bars I needed

Flipped the record over

Now the whole room's breathing

Chorus

Warm wax warm wax that's the whole foundation

Warm wax warm wax built a reputation

Turn it up let the snare hit harder

Warm wax warm wax make it knock forever

Post-Chorus

(Oh) crackle and thump

(Oh) crackle and thump

Verse 2

Tape deck hissing like a kettle

Loop the little horn until the horns settle

Cousin on the bass line low and loose

We ain't rich we got rhythm we can use

Phone rang twice momma knew to leave us be

I made a whole world out of two or three

Pieces nobody wanted

Turned them gold in my palm

Pre-Chorus

Flipped the record over

Found the four bars I needed

Flipped the record over

Now the whole block's leaning

Chorus

Warm wax warm wax that's the whole foundation

Warm wax warm wax built a reputation

Turn it up let the snare hit harder

Warm wax warm wax make it knock forever

Post-Chorus

(Oh) crackle and thump

(Oh) crackle and thump

Bridge

Scratched to the bone but the groove won't quit

Scratched to the bone and I'm proud of it

Proud of it

Chorus

Warm wax warm wax that's the whole foundation

Warm wax warm wax built a reputation

Turn it up let the snare hit harder

Warm wax warm wax make it knock forever

Post-Chorus

(Oh) crackle and thump

(Oh) crackle and thump
