Lil Tokyo - Mic Drop (Tears in Circuit) Lyrics

[Intro]
Flickering lights in this concrete cage
Eight years old, bout to turn the page
Community center, nothing special they say
Till the beats hit and changed my f*cking DNA

[Verse 1]
Cheap speakers crackling, blown to shit
But that bass made my soul feel lit
Watching fingers fly across the deck
Working class kid with a pain in his neck
But that DJ showed me how to break free
Twisted knobs like keys to set me free
Now I'm glitching out, can't hold me down
Turn that pain into a digital crown

[Chorus]
Escape through the static, watch me rise
F*ck your boundaries, digitize
Corrupted files in my veins tonight
Glitch the system, make it right
(Make it right, make it f*cking right)

[Verse 2]
Overheard whispers, "He won't make it far"
But I'm sampling life and raising the bar
Every harsh noise is a middle finger up
To everyone who said I wasn't enough
Converting rage into wavelengths now
Transforming pain, showing them how
Each distortion is a battle cry
Working class hero learning to fly

[Bridge]
Hyperpop running through my blood
Turn the trauma into a digital flood
Eight years old when I saw the light
Now I'm glitching till I get it right

[Chorus]
Escape through the static, watch me rise
F*ck your boundaries, digitize
Corrupted files in my veins tonight
Glitch the system, make it right
(Make it right, make it f*cking right)

[Outro]
Community center's just a memory now
But these frequencies still show me how
To break these chains, bit by bit
Till every limitation starts to quit
