Heartbeat

[Bridge]
My heartbeat is an 808 bassline...
My heartbeat is an 808 bassline...
My heartbeat is an 808 bassline...
My heartbeat is an 808 bassline...

[Verse 1]
My heartbeat
Is an 808 bassline
Pumping melodies
Into my lifeline
I write rhymes
In my spare time
My grind time and
I'm in my prime cause I'm
14 going on 48
And I use an 808
But there ain't no
Heartbreak
Cause I'm working on a tape
No time for a break
Wait...
Naw I'm playing don't hate
I was born to create
No time to waste
Cuz time is money
And I'm on welfare
But either way Imma fare well
Even when it gets hard
Damn it
Sometimes I swear to god
Imma lose my mind
To this music
Try to clear my thoughts
And just lose it
Gotta clear my soul
When I write
Shad Fire take it back
Bring it back to the top like

[Verse 2]
My heartbeat
Is an 808 bassline
Pumping melodies
Into my lifeline
Did this whole track
Using 808 & Voice
So I guess that makes
This song a drumline
I'm tryna be the next
Generation of real rap
Homie tryna bring the legacy
Of the greats back
Never gonna quit till
I'm one of the greatest
Never gonna take a break
Until I'm famous
So you know your boy Shad
Would be going H•A•M
Untill I got a blue check
On my Instagram
Until I get paid
And I'm cashing checks
Until I'm an icon like
Malcolm X
Malcolm X said
2 for 1 and
I think that 2 for 1
Is a pretty good deal
Cuz if my heartbeat is
An 808 bassline
Then my ribcage
Is another damn bassline

[Verse 3]
My heartbeat
Is an 808 bassline
Pumping melodies
Into my lifeline
You know I'm trying to
Extend my time line
Hoping that I hoping that I hope I don't
Flatline
Now let me take you back to that line
That was metaphorical
I don't write punchlines
Like Tantalus reaching
For the grapevine
All I'm reaching for right now
Is a great line
But I'm never ever ever
Satisfied
Never think it's good enough
Too driven by pride
And I always feel like
That I never got it right
Even when it's perfect
Something just ain't right
And I know dropping this
Took too long
If it ain't for the tape
Then what's this song?
Track 1 on my life's album
What's next?
This is only the beginning
You haven't seen nothing yet
