Can you feel it? it's a revelation

[Chorus]
The flavor of the month is busy melting in your mouth
Getting easier to swallow and harder to spit out

Can you hear it? does the sound remind you?
Can you feel it? it's gonna redefine you

Can you hear it? like an invitation
Can you feel it? a reverberation

[Chorus]
