Lyrics
Extended Intro - 32 bars instrumental with vocal chops
Verse 1
There's a girl in São Paulo with a laptop and a dream
She took your melody, made it part of her scene
Chopped it up, slowed it down, added beats from the street
Now the lawyers are calling, saying "This ain't complete"
Pre-Chorus
But who decides what's yours and mine?
When culture moves at the speed of time?
Chorus
Who owns this beat when it travels the world?
Who owns the sound when it's been unfurled?
Is it the first one who sang it?
Or the one who changed it?
Who owns this beat? Who owns this beat?
Build - 16 bars instrumental
Verse 2 - Structure Subverted
Cut to the boardroom, executives in ties
They never touched a mic but they claim the prize
While she's in the favela, speakers turned up loud
Her remix brought the people, drew the biggest crowd
Pre-Chorus
But signatures on paper
Don't make the music greater
Chorus
Who owns this beat when it travels the world?
Who owns the sound when it's been unfurled?
Is it the first one who sang it?
Or the one who changed it?
Who owns this beat? Who owns this beat?
Bridge - Portuguese Verse
Eu criei, eu mudei, eu fiz algo novo
A música é do povo, não é de um só dono
Compartilhamos a arte, dividimos a voz
O beat é nosso quando nos faz mais
Drop - Extended instrumental with vocal chops: "Who owns this beat?"
Final Chorus - Modified
Who owns this beat when we all make it ours?
Who owns the sound under digital stars?
It's not who sang it first
It's who feels the thirst
We all own this beat, we all own this beat
Outro - Fading with vocal effects
(Who owns this beat?)
(We all own this beat)
(Music belongs to everyone)
Extended Outro - 32 bars instrumental fade
