Baba Brinkman - Performance, Feedback, Revision 2.0 lyrics

Performance, feedback
Revision that’s how these vocals get written
I got a book full of scribbles
Put a rhyme to the test then I fix it
Performance, feedback
Revision that’s how I mastered this rhythm
It took a bit of practice but I cracked
It now I rap with mad precision
Performance, feedback
Revision that’s art and architecture
And engineering, that’s how we peer into
The dark with guesswork
Performance, feedback
Revision that’s the scientific method
You put a hypothesis to a double blind test
And if it isn’t right then reject it
Performance, feedback
Revision that’s how your brain is wired
Behaviors that fire together can bind
Together and change desires
Performance, feedback


Revision that’s your immune system
Antibodies react to pathogens
And reproduce when a new one gets in
Performance, feedback
Revision that’s natural selection
Some genes die and others survive and
Which is which is fitness
Performance, feedback
Revision this isn’t just music
It’s descent with modification
And you owe your whole existence to it
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
I scratch with my pen
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Go tell a friend

Every single strand of DNA in
A cells is a masterpiece
Written by a genius, not God, nah
Selected naturally performance, feedback
Revision: evolution crafted genes
Just like mine, so I could write rhymes
To entice your mind to attract to me
Why? ‘Cause my passions just happen to
Get up in your synapses
And that makes women wanna mate
And men wanna make strategic ties happen
And sometimes women wanna make the
Ties, and that’s okay, i like friendships
And sometimes men wanna mate… thanks
But that’s not my preference
I got friends who lean that
Way, and that’s fine
It’s just a side-effect of
How their gay genes got made
– by leaving live descendents
Yeah, you’re just a phenotype
Performing all the genes inside
Living things only seem designed
‘cause you can’t see how they’ve been revised
And the feedback lies in
Evolution’s brutal gaze
Either you have babies who have babies
Or get boo-ed off stage
But, I ain’t evolution’s slave just like
You I like to get laid
And we can choose not to
Reproduce in this conceptive age
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
I scratch with my pen
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Go tell a friend

So now you probably wanna know how
A flow this dope gets written
Performance, feedback
Revision plus a beat by Mr simmonds
My words impregnate your brain
Does it give you morning sickness?
Or do you wanna spread it like an epidemic
And try to get some folks to listen?
Either way you can’t escape it
Love me or hate me, you form an opinion
And your feedback comes back to me
And I make an informed decision
Should I change and adapt
Or stick to the script and
Stay on track with it?
Oh, I don’t black enough? Okay
Should I switch it and fake my accent?
And if I did, and you call me a liar
Then I’ll probably just say
That I’m just caught up in the game
Just doin’ my thing and I’m not just playing
How you think I learned how to rap? You
Think I just turned on a track
And the words just splashed on
The page like magic
And I never had to turn nothin’ back?
Performance, feedback, revision
That’s how I got this way
And in spite of what they might say
It’s the same for Lady Gaga and Dr dre
Performance, feedback, revision
That’s how you got your nature
And that’s how you re-create
Yourself through improvisation
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
I scratch with my pen
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Performance, feedback, revision repeat again
Go tell a friend

(freestyle)
Every single word you heard on the track
Until this point was written rhymes
But now it’s time for me to switch
It up and give you something improvised
‘Cause just like Jay-Z and Lil Wayne
I can freestyle for days with no mistakes
Except it takes me eighty eight takes
When I spit my shit that’s
How I mutate my genes
And you can interact with my
Lyrics like a Turing Machine
Yup, ‘cause I’m reppin’ Darwinism everytime
I record to the rhythm
It takes a lotta mutations
To make an organism
It takes a whole lotta mutations
To make an organism… shit credit's
