Makin' Things
Hard-hitting boom-bap drums and crisp percussion drive the intro, led by a deep 808 bassline locking in funky syncopation. Triumphant brass loops explode in the chorus, topped with charismatic rap-pop vocals, crowd chants, rhythmic claps, bright house synth stabs, and busy hi-hats. The pre-chorus builds intensity; the bridge features energetic horn call-and-responses, DJ vocal chops, and layered, maximal city-scale textures. The chorus is catchy and sharply rhythmic, with crystal-clear vocal presence.

Lyrics
Hook X2
Made a track
Got a listen
Small time
Feels huge
Big Grind
Mind fried
Making things
Making things
Verse 1
Rewind it, Find it, EQ, Tweak
My posture's a shrimp and my eyeballs leak
This kick hits like a fridge falling down the back stairs
I've been staring at soundwaves 'til nobody cares.
(Viral?)
(Nah.)
(Did your mom see the post?)
(Ghost.)
(Is that one listener a bot from the coast?)
(Yo!)
Pulling a melody out of my brain is a miracle
My setup's three plugins and something spherical.
"He's got a new track, it's delightfully weird..."
Some guy in Helsinki with a magnificent beard
Just left me a comment, said it was "quite hot."
I'm 98% sure that he's probably a bot.
Not chasing the stats, don't care for the cheddar,
Just trying to make this one synth sound... wetter.
My fan club could fit in a two-door sedan,
And my dad is the president, what a great man.
Hook X2
Made a track
Got a listen
Small time
Feels huge
Big Grind
Mind fried
Making things
Making things
Verse 2
Got a comment in German, I threw it in Translate
It said, "Your low-end is tragically lightweight."
(Ouch.)
So I spent a whole week on a four-second loop
My main food group is now leftover soup.
Forget the algorithm, that digital narc,
I'm making odd noises alone in the dark.
The big names have roadies and tour on a jet,
My biggest booking's a DJ slot on the internet.
It pays in exposure, which I can't use for rent,
But a heart emoji is a nice sentiment.
My "afterparty" is me and my cat,
Judging my hi-hats for being too flat.
Bridge
Is this art or a cry for help with a beat?
Did I just waste a month on a sound that's obsolete?
Who cares. The silence is boring and strange,
So I'll make the bass wobble and mess with the flange.
Hook X2
Made a track
Got a listen
Small time
Feels huge
Big Grind
Mind fried
Making things

Outro
Yeah, just making things...
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
Tap-tap on the mic...
