Feel Good
Hocus Pocus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Groove like that
Everybody feels good
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah
Ya, ya-ya
Scratch posé ou speed double time
Passant l'(?) au (?), je (?)
Scratchant les battements
Traquant les accents jusqu'au moindre craquement
Creusant le sillon jusqu'à la feutrine
Et si ça saute, et si ça saute
Et si ça saute, ça finit en backspeed
Atom, Greem, Pfel, 20Syl
Les phalanges crispées sur le vinyles
Practice avec un... Freestyle avec un...
Si tu remixes ce son DJ, pitch pas trop ma voix
(?) L'a-cappella-a-a-a-a-a...
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah
Ya, ya-ya
