Bass Culture
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
muzik of blood
black reared
pain rooted
heart geared;
all tensed up
in the bubble and the bounce
an the leap an the weight-drop.
it is the beat of the heart,
this pulsing of blood
that is a bublin bass,
a bad bad beat
pushin gainst the wall
whey bar black blood
an is a whole heappa
passion a gather
like a frightful form
like a righteous harm
giving off wild like is madness
