[Verse 1]
Good drummers hard to find but I don’t pay it no mind
DJ beats are gettin’ old and your records growing mold
Any season, any time I can kick and flow a rhyme
I don’t need a drum machine ‘cause I am a dancin’ queen
[Chorus]
Cool beats with my feet
Drums are for bums
Any season any time I can kick and flow a rhyme
Cool beats with feet
[Verse 2]
I don’t got a band but I can jam with my hands
I don’t need a guitar to be a rock star
All I need is silence so I can play my violin
And a laugh track to carry in my back pack
So there’s a bunch of people laughin’ when my jokes wack
[Chorus]
Cool beats with my feet
Drums are for bums
Say heck no to techno
Cool beats with my feet
[Bridge]
With my feet
With my feet
With my feet
With my feet
[Verse 3]
My living rooms big but I still pack my gigs
I got an amp and it goes bamp bamp
I can play the keys with my knees
Cool bass with my face
[Outro]
With my feet
My feet
With my feet
My feet
