[Verse] He said she left the block with a fire in her eyes, But the truth is she just walked through the rain with no disguise. Fingers on the rim of a glass, whisperin’ secrets too tight, But the rumors they don’t move like the bassline—it’s faster than light. [Pre-Chorus] You heard it on the corner, you felt it on the street, Now it’s on the corner, now it’s in your head—beat, beat, beat. [Chorus] Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. [Verse] He’s got a name that echoes down the alley, But the real story? It’s in the way he walks, not the way he talks. Spit a line, it’s on a loop, no pause, no rewind, The rumor’s already in your dream, and it’s smokin’ the line. [Pre-Chorus] You heard it on the corner, you felt it on the street, Now it’s on the corner, now it’s in your head—beat, beat, beat. [Chorus] Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. [Bridge] No map, no name, just a name on the breeze, One glance and the whole world starts to tease. You don’t need a lie when the truth ain’t true— The lie’s the real thing, yeah, it’s what we do. [Chorus] Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. Rumors spread like the brass in the street, One word and the whole block’s on heat. She said “don’t believe,” but the lie’s in the beat, Faster than the bass, yeah, it’s too sweet. [Outro] Faster than the bass… Faster than the bass… Faster than the bass… Yeah, it’s too sweet.
