Beatin' It Lyrics

Jus gimme a sec I gotta make some beats

Yo, plug that in over there

Turn on the turn table, let the needle touch the record

I'll find the right sound I'm use to coping under pressure

You dig, you look, you skip tracks and skip back

Take pieces of old music mix match and flip tracks

After that you spit rap to get ads, and hit ass

Yo wait, what's that, ya the piano part, bring it back

Ya, ya that's it right there

Now let me loop that in the sampler, piano piece caught my ear

Gimmie a sec, nothin better than a piano loop

Let me get this perfect, let me pitch it up a bit

A little faster might be worth it

Ya, ya, ok, 73 beats per minute, it still don't loop right

Let me try it 74, and that should make it loop tight

There we go, now this sample bumpin hard

Soundin like mythotical fairytales, or somethin dark

It's giving me ideas already, the moods, the melody

Oh shit, I'm losin track, wait, the beat still needs developing

Alright, I got my sample, so now I need a drum kit

Let me try out this one kick, ya that's somethin I can run with

Now I figure out a pattern like running plays and maddin

Let the kicks sit on the sample, make magic like Aladdin

And now I need a snare, so let me try this here

Nah, it's too dirty, the kick's too clear, it doesn't mix right

So let me try this rim shot, a little bit of hand clap, to give it a touch of hiphop

Ok, that kinda work, ya I like that

Maybe add some cymbals, nah fuck it, don't need no high hat

But maybe add a shake of somethin slick and smooth like (sound)

Loop that, cut it, and make it move right

Ok I need a joint

Yo pass that over

Just one puff

Just wanted to get something in my head, you know

Take me somewhere else before I drop this back

Ya I drop the drum now, listen how the drum sound

It's almost there, but this aint done, and I aint tryin to jump the gun now

Track is soundin ripe, but I aint finished man, this take time

Still adjustin levels and gotta filter out the baseline

Like, just turn the highs way down, there we go

Now I got my base sound, drop the beat again

Ya that soundin better now, drum is soundin crisp

Base is thick, ya the base is thick so now what could I lace wit it?

Guess I'll put a change in it, rearrange a bit, add some things

And take you to another place wit it, music is moods

Don't matter how it's produced, don't matter what tool you use

Or the instruments that you choose (nope)

It's all about listen, I can switch right quick

From laid back, to hype shit

Wit a drum roll, crash, and a tight kick

Bring back the piano, switch between your two samples

Turn up the clap, and piano shakers to the left channel

Ya it's workin, almost sound complete

But I probably wont be using it, Jordan, you want this beat?

[Jordan Croucher:]

Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out

Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down

And I know, oh shit, yo yo hold on, hold on, hold on

Let me get that back, hold on, hold on

Ya I kinda like the way this beat is flowin out

Maybe later on I'll write some shit and put it down

And I know, that this could be the sound, oh ya

Ya, ya that'll do it

Something like that yo

Aight

We'll do somethin like that, that's the riff right there

I'm feelin that man, thatll work

Ya, ya

Aiight I'll finish this beat up, I'll burn it off for ya

Just give me a couple more minutes
