EVOLUTION

Try it on
Does it feel right?

Try it on
Does it sit tight?

Can you move in it, groove in it?

A new idea takes a little minute

A change in the rhythm
Sit right down in it

A brand new rhyme

Takes a little time to grow

Try it on
Stretch out

It could land with a big aha
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmmm hmmm

FOUR PART ROUND:

Try it on (4x) Does it feel right  3-4  / 1-2-3
Try it on (4x)  Sit tight 1-2-3-4

Can you move in it, groove in it  1-2-3-4  / 2-2-3-4 / 1-2
A new idea takes a little minute  2-3-4
Change in the rhythm (2x) sit right down in it  2-3-4
A brand new rhyme (2x) takes a little time to grow 2-3-4 /1

Try it on (3x) stretch out
Try it on (3x) stretch out

It could land aha  2-3-4
It could land aha  2-3-4 / 1

Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
Or it could slip in like a subtle little mmm
