Lyrics
No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get through to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get through to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get to you I establish an order in this sector Guardian angel reflect the light lyrically I own the mic you slept the demo tape that You ejected haunt you return you want to Hand with the one you dissed before and slander Presently and conjure up some hallucination Identify the stations where my vocal's heard count The total verbs you be flipping at the load of words My destiny's set pre-natally forget Maybelline I got no maybe's running more slow than your Nose without antihistamine I'm in the future - going back in time to see money with nitroglycerin So who'd ya think you spittin' at I represent a different map Hip Hop diplomat iceberg You seeing the tip of that see right through ya and I protect the Flo-Jack God-glorifying poor spiritual aristocrat remain anonymous My lyrics outfit astronomers air-tight apparels Third commandment for idolaters Pasamali - keep a map and stuff like politic Who try to model his wise words of Solomon To drive emotions, we need braincells You ain't a human talisman to keep you from the clutches of hell No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get through to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get through to you No, you know tomorrow won't come so soon - I got to get to you It's me your hearing from the other line A voice of passion...

m-flo's new song was the last one to be recorded and edited for beatmania IIDX. The song opens with the impact of the riff coupled with Lisa's melody. The comfortable riff from the intro, the operation of the sampler, the ad-libbing and various other things, it's all very interesting, don't you agree? I think many people will be reminded of u gotta groove after listening to this song.
DanceDanceRevolution 2ndReMIX APPEND CLUB VERSiON vol.1
The m-flo transnational hip-hop unit, consisting of composer taku, Boston-based Korean rapper verbal, and vocalist lisa, who is half-Colombian, has been gaining recognition recently. This song from vol.1 is a groovy hip-hop track created by taku, with lisa's clear voice adding depth to the song, and verbal's rap overlapping the Japanese-English barrier, allowing the m-flo groove sound to be heard to its fullest.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
As a tie-up artist, m-flo has provided us with not only the music but also an original video clip.
However, before the original video clip for this song was made, we decided to put it on beatmania IIDX and deliver it to everyone, so we edited and produced it from the video sources that we had been provided with for some time.
In the course of video production, there have been several times when a video created for a different purpose somehow blended in with a certain song and seemed to fit! So this time, I tried to reproduce this in the cut editing, and consciously tried not to match the flow and development of the song.
And yet, for some reason, there is one cut that fits perfectly. You know what I mean...
