[Verse 1]
Heartbeat jumpin’, feet in motion
Caught up in a wave of emotion
Wind comes rushing through my hair
Feel the energy fully aware

It’s the rhythm, it’s the groove

Spin the wheel and change the view
What was old becomes brand new
Patterns turning, circles bend
Where does beginning meet the end?

About the Song
Adrenaline (also called epinephrine) is a vital hormone and chemical messenger made by your adrenal glands on top of your kidneys. It pours into your blood during fear, stress, or excitement, triggering the “fight-or-flight” response to help you react quickly to danger.

How Adrenaline Affects the Body
Heart rate: Your heart beats faster to push more blood to your muscles.
Breathing: Your airways open up wide so you can take in more air.
Energy: Your body releases stored sugar into your blood for quick power.
Focus: Your brain becomes hyper-alert and sharp.

Knocked down…

Back against the ground…

[Refrain]
Knocked down
(Have we found)
Rebound

Enough runaround
(Futures sound)
Found (rebound)

[Verse 1]
Hit the ground and lost the beat
Dust and gravel underneath
Take a breath and check the frame
Stand back up and start again

[Chorus]
Rebound
(Find the ground)
Rebound
(Bounce back around)

Knocked down
(But not bound)
Turn around

Runaround can wear you thin
Circling where you’ve already been
Maybe now it’s time to steer
Toward a future drawing near

[Instrumental]
[Driving Guitar Solo, Bouncing Bass, Rolling Drums, Organ Swells]

[Bridge]
Knocked down
(Have we found)
A way around?

Enough runaround
(Futures sound)
Can we rebound?

Down…

Rebound…

Down…

Rebound…

[Final Chorus]
Knocked down
(Have we found)
Rebound

Enough runaround

No more runaround
(Forward bound)
Hear that sound…

Rebound!

Heat arrives and lingers on
Nighttime comes, but it’s not gone
Water vapor fills the air
Holding energy everywhere

Add it on

[Spoken Vocal]
Wrapped up…

Rapped up…

Words wound tight…
(Sounds right)
Sound found.
(Into the light)

That’s what’s up.

[Refrain]
Wrapped (Up)
Rapped up
(Yup)

Words wound
(Sound found)
That’s what’s up
(Wrapped)
Tight
(See the light)

[Verse 1]
Words can wind around a thought
Twist together, tied in knots
Round and round the meaning goes
Where it lands, nobody knows

Take a phrase and pull the thread
See the things you left unsaid
Turn it over, look inside
Find the meaning that may hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Words around
(A sound)
Found

[Chorus]
Wrapped up
(Rapped up)
Tight and right
(Words take flight)

Wrapped up
(Rapped up)
Round the sound
(Spinning round)

Words wound
(Sound found)
That’s what’s up
(Wrapped)

Tie the meaning
(To the beat)
Bring the rhythm
(Feel the heat)

[Verse 2]
Acoustic strings begin to ring
Words become another thing
Rhythm pulls the phrases through
Finding something fresh and new

A little tension, a little space
A little groove can change the pace
Wrap the rhythm, let it roll
Find the thread and lose control

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]
[Fingerpicked Acoustic Guitar Solo: Warm, Rhythmic, Gradually Building Into Strummed Chords]

[Bridge]
Wrapped around
(The sound)
Rapped around
(The beat)

Words wound tight
(See the light)
Meaning found
(Complete)

[Rap Vocal Break]
[Beat Drops: Deep Bass, Finger Snaps, Tight Kick, Percussive Guitar]
Yo—

Wrap it up, rap it up, words in a bundle
Turn up the rhythm, let the syllables rumble
Round and around with a sound that connects
Twist up the thought, then inspect the effects

Words wound tight but the meaning gets loose
Sound in the sentence, now what’s your use?
Wrap one idea with another in line
Flip the perspective and change up the rhyme

Rapped up, wrapped up, tied to the beat
Words hit the pavement with a shuffle of feet
Found what was hidden beneath all the stuff
You got the message?

Yup.

That’s what’s up.

[Drums Fill]

[Chorus]
Wrapped up
(Rapped up)
Tight and right
(Words take flight)

Wrapped up
(Rapped up)
Round the sound
(Spinning round)

Words wound
(Sound found)
That’s what’s up
(Wrapped)

Tight
(See the light)
Hold it right
(Through the night)

Wrapped…

Rapped…

Words wound…

Sound found…

No need to fight.

… just listen…

To see the light.

[Final Refrain]
Wrapped (Up)
Rapped up
(Yup)

Words wound
(Sound found)
That’s what’s up
(Wrapped)

Tight
(See the light)

Wrapped up
(Rapped up)
Hold on tight
(Do it right)

Words wound
(Sound found)
Now we’ve got it
(That’s what’s up)

[Final Chorus]
Wrap it up
(Rap it up)
Let it roll
(Feel the soul)

Wrap it up
(Rap it up)
Find the sound
(That’s been found)

Words wound
(Sound found)
That’s what’s up
(Wrapped)

Tight
(See the light)

[Outro]
[Acoustic Guitar Arpeggios, Saxophone Harmonies, Soft Bass, Brushes on Drums]
Wrapped…

Rapped…

Words wound…

Sound found…

That’s what’s up.

Yup.
