lyrics

Well my name is Kevin and I’m rockin to the beat
Its my drumming that you’re listening too, and ain’t it pumpy sweet
It goes boom boom crack crack and cymbal cymbal wash wash
Like Winona Ryder stealin candy til all the kids say, “Oh my gosh”
When Lady Gaga milks a cow and it falls dead on her face
There’s a rhythm to my drumming, squirting logic into space
Its a beat that ended communism, started Desert Storm
But for me its just another day, my drum beats are the norm
In Israel and Pakistan and Palestine and France
Its a beat that launched the missile into someone else’s pants
Its from the drum beat in South Africa that apartheid got its chance
Its from the drum beat in China that makes the politician’s sensor dance
Its from drum beat in Canada that keeps its borders so tight
Like a humdrum tourist ingenue in Spanish twilight
Its from the drum set rhythm in Jamaica that sent the man to role a joint
It wasn't flute/trumpet/woodwind, but a drummer, is my point
Stock footage ornaments a lot of documentary films these days
Its cause the drummer set her trap kit up, she sits down and plays
Its a vegan in Brooklyn, Berlin, Amsterdam or Tokyo
That heard a drummer's rhythm and got inspired by the flow
I'm a drummer so I know that the honey’s dig the mojo
They don't even matter if a gong falls on yer toe
Your cool, your hot, your rhythm drives your junk
I wake up in a hot tub surrounded by my spunk
Now I'm chillin on a spaceship, abducted by E.T.
He's tryin to rub Reese’s Pieces all over me
I’m sticky, I’m stuck, quack goes my duck
But my drums they won’t stop, even E.T.’s shit out of luck
Yo, check it: my name is Matt Mottel, I’m rockin keys like a tramp
On an oil well, I’m going to romance
I’ve been to Berlin, Belize and Kansas City too
Always droppin knowledge on the folks who come to groove
I got riffs in my fingers, melody out my ears
Total love for chord changes I only learnt this year
This song pays my rent, my music ain’t an accident
Its cosmic karma sexy that you hear it
The shit is real, been studying for years
I got Mozart on my brain and Snoop Dogg out the rear
