LYRICS:


Chorus:
Imma tell you a story, about gycolysis
It takes place in the cytoplasm, that surrounds the nucleus.
It doesn't need any oxygen; its anaerobic
The end result of the cycle, makes ATP and pyruvate

1st Verse
I'm an anaerobic pathway, used to get energy
I require no oxygen, and take place in the cytoplasm, I need an endergonic reaction, to begin phosphorylization... PFK!
I make two phosphate sugars, but we use two ATP

Chorus:
Imma tell you a story, about gycolysis
It takes place in the cytoplasm, that surrounds the nucleus.
It doesn't need any oxygen; its anaerobic
The end result of the cycle, makes ATP and pyruvate

2nd verse
Next we begin, the energy harvesting steps
First the 6-carbon molecule gets split in two halves
Each part gets oxidized, then phosphorylized
Creating 2NADH, and adding a phosphate group

Chorus:
Imma tell you a story, about gycolysis
It takes place in the cytoplasm, that surrounds the nucleus.
It doesn't need any oxygen; its anaerobic
The end result of the cycle, makes ATP and pyruvate

3rd Verse
Right after the production, of NADH
Is the removal, of 2 phosphate groups
2 ADT form a gain of 2 ATP
Which results in oxidation, or H2O loss

4th Verse
The removal of a phosphate, makes way for 2 ATP's
When it comes to the end, pyruvate will prevail
We'll end up with 2 pyruvates, 2 ATP's with H20
But if there is any sign of oxygen, then pyruvate will break down a little more.

Chorus:
Imma tell you a story, about gycolysis
It takes place in the cytoplasm, that surrounds the nucleus.
It doesn't need any oxygen; its anaerobic
The end result of the cycle, makes ATP and pyruvate
