[B] I want to tell you about Texas [E] Radio and the Big Beat.
It comes out of the Virginia swamps, cool and slow, but plenty of precision.
And the backbeat, narrow and hard to master.
Some call it heavenly, brilliant.
Others feel the roof of the [B] western dream.
I love the friends [E] I have gathered together in this dead rap.
We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping.
This is the land where the Pharaoh died.
