Beetle Bee,
You know the muscle eats the brain sometimes
Tried to replicate a photo are you satisfied
Is it knowing that makes you mine
Or the knowing that we were running out of time

Well, hold that pose you're looking like a fatal frame
Paid a penny out of way to make a picture last in time and
Took a polaroid just to make you stay the same
Dont move, Dont move

Who are you to say
That time don't move any other other way and
Who are you to look the other way
When time don't move any other other way

Beetle bee you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move don't move
Swing the bat and swing away 
Like a picture in a frame
At least we'll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame

Don't you move, don't you move, don't you move
Don't you move, don't you move, don't you move

Watch the muscles that are moving you
Pretending I could move you too
Only you, and only you
I wish I could be 
The photograph you left me
Only you, and only you

Beetle bee you swing the bat and swing away
Dont move don't move
Swing the bat and swing away 
Like a picture in a frame
At least we'll always look the same inside a fatal looking frame

All the sentimental pain
Of a picture of a game
At least we'll always look the same 
Inside a fatal looking frame 

Who are you to say
That time don't move any other other way and
Who are you to look the other way
When time don't move any other other way

This track is a gritty, atmospheric hip-hop or possibly dark trap piece with a deeply poetic vibe. The lyrics are steeped in the rawness of the streets, struggle, and a sense of inevitability, where "dirt" becomes not just a physical but a metaphorical symbol of life, roots, and resilience. Vivid imagery—soil, blood, rust, rats, crumbling bricks—paints a harsh, almost dystopian reality where survival demands embracing this "dirt" as part of oneself.
