Lyrics

I've been skipping beats... (Repeat)
Yeah, could you imagine if your life depend on rapping and your life
depend on lyrics snapping tight up on the rhythm
But your heart can't beat up on it and it keeps on skipping rhythms
and you want to just go driftin but you can not go deliver...
Cause you...
You can't be what you need to,
You can't see how to breathe through...

I've been skipping beats... (Repeat)

Sitting on the street, waiting for the bus to come I think I feel it creep,
I feel a little weaker I been eating all this wheat,
I've been looking for the time to shine...
But I don't have the time,
I've been working day and night,
But I don't have the time,
I've been looking for a place to sit and grip a pen and write these rhymes,
I've been trying to look for something different every time,
That's why I love to drift cause it comes straight off of the lips,
And I don't have to even go and work up on the shit,
And I can listen later and it's like we hit a greater fader made up in Decatur
but I know I need to shake the weight I save to play it later but I'm still walking the street,
So much I want to do but my heart is skipping beats...
Have me skipping beats,
And still no sleep...

I've been skipping beats... (Repeat)

I've been having palpitations,
Having moments wasted...

Playing melodies I've been singing on these beats but I can't sleep,
I've been listening to how my heart is beating all this week,
I've been going over 90 BPM and fluttering,
I've been getting less discreet, chirping like a parakeet,
I've been tripping all the time,
I've been getting off the grind,
Like moon when it's hiding,
I feel like I'm dying,
I'm going back to sleep,
It all feels incomplete,
Like how the fuck you sleep when your heart is skipping beats?

I've been skipping beats... (Repeat)
