Transformation Lyrics

Plasma ain't got rhythm he, ain't got no flow
Can't get into the cell unless you open the door
So just to let you know, I got my mind on the cheddar
Need to increase competence, the cheaper the better


[Hook]

[Verse 2: Jimmy Lee]
Got to use the heat shock to help with the flow
You ain't got any heat, you ain't got any show
The draft created by the 42 degrees
Makes the DNA flow through the membrane with ease
The punishment you dealt shouldn't have been a crime
So cut the slack fool, with some recovery time

Take your cells and dunk it in some LB
And shout out to your man Luria Bertani


[Interlude: Jimmy Lee]
Take me with you, so we can combine
Take me with you, its so hard I cry
Take me with you, and I will make you mine
And I'm always looking out for the signs of you
Waiting for the time to come by

[Hook]
[Verse 3: A-Tam]
So maybe your transformation efficiency
Lacks decency in this industry
Where every playa needs to copy me
Copy yourself bro
Cuz you know you need mo'
When you transform pGLO plasmids yo

Yo pGLO transformation requires proper preparation
With CaCl2 thats at standard concentrations
To make competent cell creations
Abide by standard declarations
For this population and the biology nation

And we all know like and like creates dislike
So CaCl2 just spits straight up on the mic
It takes the negative cell membrane and neutralizes charges
For starters its harder without calcium chloride helpers

[Interlude]

[Hook]

[A-Tam]
Yo I just do it like, oh oh
I be the kid with the laminar flow I just go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
