Mental Calories
At 88 BPM in E minor, this track blends minimalist trap precision with a reflective, slow-burn hip-hop pulse. Deep 808s roll beneath a dry birch-snare and razor-edged hi-hat grid, every hit sharp as thought itself. The kick punches through a fog of vinyl dust and low tape hiss, while filtered FM stabs flicker like intrusive ideas. A detuned pad breathes through the pre-chorus, widening into a hook layered with doubled vocals and responsive ad-libs that echo like internal dialogue. The bass bounces tight and deliberate — sub-heavy, side-chained, a heartbeat against static silence. Vocals stay cool and deliberate, half-spoken, half-preached, with call-backs answering in distorted whispers. Final drop cuts the mix bare: glitch echoes of “toxic food, toxic too” spiral into a fading mantra. Vibe: lucid, hypnotic, self-aware — a clean-plate sermon for the digital age.

Lyrics
Food for thought — what’s on your plate? (yeah, what’s cookin’?)
Dreams or doubt, you marinate. (think on that)
Feed your fear, it multiplies, (don’t let it grow)
Scroll for seconds, lose your mind. (doom-scroll, huh?)
Think you’re full, but you’ve been starved, (still hungry though)
By likes and lies, by what you scarfed. (junk feed)
You know you should — check what you chew, (watch it)
Food for thought — it’s eatin’ you. (mmm… chew you up)
If you feed your thoughts toxic food, (uh-huh, that junk talk)
Your thinkin’ will become toxic too. (too-oo-oo)
Feed your thoughts that junk of fame, (scroll scroll scroll)
Don’t be shocked when you act the same. (mirror, mirror)
If you feed your thoughts toxic food, (yeah, that poison plate)
Your thinkin’ will become toxic too. (clean it up)
Clean your mind like you clean your plate — (wipe it off)
You are what you contemplate. (real talk)
Mind buffet, it’s open late, (24/7 feed)
Serving rage and clickbait hate. (they love that taste)
Take one bite, you’re looped again, (can’t stop now)
Can’t tell truth from the sugar pain. (sweet lies)
Brew for the soul, don’t consume gross, (nah, detox)
Sip on peace, not overdose. (slow sippin’)
Food for thought — what will you choose? (choose wise)
Every meal’s a point of view. (facts.)
Too — too — too —
Toxic too (echoed, distorted) (too-oo-oo)
Feed your mind or feed your doom. (your call)
Choose your meal — it cooks your truth. (chef’s kiss)
Food for thought. (mmm… think on that.)
If you feed your thoughts toxic food, (say it again)
Your thinkin’ will become toxic, too. (too-oo-oo)
Toxic food — (feed that junk)
Toxic, too. (fade out…)
