[Hook]
Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper
Sounds that we bring are of a different nature
Rhythms get great and the rhythms they get greater
Yes another rough-a-tough four for the chaser
New configuration, new riff and new structure
Built on the frame that'll hold and won't puncture
Tight, we wrap it up, it's wrapped, tightly
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
It lives, the bass is the heartbeat that it gives
When we apply the brakes, there'll be no skids
Just more elements to consider as we glide
Dimensions and the measurements and the evidence you will find
Change it, rearrange it so it's regularly updated
Hits from every angle so expect the unexpected
Represent the fusion of the mind and stay connected
The starboard is presented, the slice of the market's been indented
Delivering the style we give you so that means a mention
In your direction is the bearing that we aimed ascension
Instead the way the floor the stunner made a re-invention
And then you get your money's worth before you've even sensed it
Make you bigger for bigger for the whole nation
Send it down to one and all with no discrimination
Like a safe with 50 locks, there's many combination
No matter which way that you turn you reach the same destination
The fullness of the spectrum, 360 keep it circling
Deep inside the flow is where it's working it
Underneath, submerging it, time to make it go deeper
Way past the point that blows holes in your speaker
Under and over to get over and under
First you get the lightning and then you get the thunder
The sound is the music and the music is the feature
Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Step step step step step step step step step step
Paper paper paper paper paper
Step step step step step step step step step step
P-P-Paper paper paper paper paper
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Step step step step step step step step step stepStep to the rhythm made out of brown paper
Step to the rhythm made out of brown paper
Built on the frame that'll hold and won't puncture
