       [Verse] 
       
      Music ain't the same no more it’s true 
       
      We used to bump tracks we could sneak through 
       
      Back alleys and stores with beats in the air 
       
      Now it’s all streaming they don’t even care 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      Used to grab a tape from the rack so sly 
       
      Spin it in the player let the speakers cry 
       
      Now it’s all codes and links so cold 
       
      No thrill in the chase no stories to be told 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Where’s the grit where’s the soul 
       
      Where’s the beat you could steal to feel whole 
       
      Now it’s clean now it’s neat 
       
      But it’s lost the flavor of the street 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      Records spun like secrets in the dark 
       
      Now algorithms push charts no spark 
       
      We’d dance to the scratch of a stolen gem 
       
      Now playlists just feel like a locked system 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      A world of music you could hold in your hand 
       
      Feel the weight of the rhythm understand 
       
      Now it’s just pixels nothing feels real 
       
      Where’s the danger the rush the steal 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Where’s the grit where’s the soul 
       
      Where’s the beat you could steal to feel whole 
       
      Now it’s clean now it’s neat 
       
      But it’s lost the flavor of the street  |
