Working mostly with a 7/4 time signature, this song plays on the “missing a beat” line, since the vocals on the hook rest on the final 1/8 beat, leaving the time signature to a progressive 13/8.
[Chorus]
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
[Verse 1]
Latent gun beamed for my head
It's a wonder that I tread
Overworn ground through my youth
Making all my dreams come true
[Chorus]
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
[Verse 2]
Happy days seem so absurd
Lightning that's unlikely heard
Nova sunshine while I nap
Making all my dreams so sad
[Chorus]
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
[Bridge]
Don't miss the bar, we play here
Already ringing in my ears
Don't miss the bar, it's right here
Only a beat disappears
[Chorus]
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Only miss a beat
Only miss a beat
Only miss a beat
Only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat, only miss a beat
Once I'm Mr. Beat I only miss a beat
