Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D-M-Y's song, The Beat, seem to be a collection of nonsensical words and phrases that are strung together to create a catchy and upbeat rhythm. The chorus, "I go bananas, bananas to the beat," is repeated several times, serving as the song's main hook. The verses, however, are filled with made-up words that don't appear to have any clear meaning.

In the first verse, the lyrics contain phrases like "Kokonipi jao sobo jambo, jambo pomi peso," which don't have any apparent meaning in any known language. The following verses continue in a similar fashion, with phrases like "O seeke ambo pelai kokonipi nai," which again, have no known translation or meaning.

Despite the nonsensical nature of the lyrics, The Beat is still a fun and catchy song that encourages listeners to dance and have fun. The repetition of the chorus and the upbeat tempo make this song a great choice for parties or dance clubs.
