[Instrumental Intro: Funky Guitar Riff, Bouncy Bassline, Snappy Drums, Organ Swells]
[Intro, Spoken Word]
Oh, no, not whatnot
(Take a listen to what we got)
[Guitar Riff]
[Verse 1]
Started with a whisper and a joke gone wrong
Little bit of nothing but it tagged along
People kept saying “that’s all you got?”
But we kept cooking in a bigger pot
From a spark to a flame to a neon glow
Took a hard left turn from the same old road
They tried to box it in, tried to make it small
But it broke right through every single wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Call it this, call it that
But it’s more than a label you’re looking at
Every step, every twist
Turned a maybe into this
[Chorus]
Beyond diddly
(No not squat)
Oh, no, no, no
(This ain’t Bo)
It’s so much more
(Than came before)
Clearly…
(Beyond diddly)
[Instrumental Break: Slap Bass Groove, Guitar Licks]
[Verse 2]
They said keep it simple, keep it tight and neat
But it spilled right over into something sweet
Every odd little piece found a place to land
Now it’s bigger than we ever planned
From the back of a napkin to a grand design
Every crooked little note fell into line
It’s the chaos, the color, the beautiful mess
That turns “just okay” into “nothing less”
[Pre-Chorus]
Stretch it out, let it breathe
More than what you thought you’d need
Every doubt that you forgot
Turned into a stronger plot
[Chorus]
Beyond diddly
(No not squat)
Oh, no, no, no
(This ain’t Bo)
It’s so much more
(Than came before)
Clearly…
(Beyond diddly)
[Bridge]
Not just bits and broken parts
Not just noise and restless hearts
It’s the leap, it’s the climb
It’s the rhythm out of time
Take the small and let it grow
Way past anything you know
What began as just a thought
Now it’s everything it’s not
[Instrumental Bridge: Organ Solo, Guitar Feedback Swells]
[Breakdown Chorus]
Beyond diddly…
(Feel it grow)
Not just echoes…
(Let it show)
Every limit we outran
Was just part of a bigger plan
[Final Chorus]
Beyond diddly
(No not squat)
Oh, no, no, no
(This ain’t Bo)
It’s so much more
(Than came before)
Clearly…
(Beyond diddly)
[Outro]
[Groove strips down to bass and claps]
Beyond… beyond…
Not what you thought
Beyond… beyond…
Everything you forgot
(Beyond diddly)
Beyond…
(On and on and on)
[Final Hit]
