One two, one two
|
You're listenin to the grand groovin sounds
|
Of the diabolical energetical B-I-Z
|
Emmezah-A-Rrrah-K
|
And this goes out to my DJ
|
The cutmaster that no one cuts faster than
|
C-double-oh-L V
|
Drumroll V
|
|
[Verse 1]
|
It's a different kind of sound that's in the air
|
It's not shots, firecrackers, or a car that's there
|
A little different noise for your listenin pleasure
|
A sample from a record that's a four bar measure
|
Adults think this music is just a big headache
|
They think all this hard work, is just a piece of cake
|
They must be buggin, right out of they socks
|
Why don't they get up and try to do, the human beatbox
|
Cause back in the days when there was just block parties
|
A DJ would set up his equipment, and start these
|
live performances, and DJ tricks
|
A lot of different DJ's was on the mix
|
It is a proven fact, music is a universal language
|
From the tip of Long Island to the Verrezano Bridge
|
We won awards and served them by the millions
|
The more more years go by, the more we be killin 'em
|
They said it's just a fad, it will never last a year
|
All of a sudden, ten years later - "I hear music"
|
|
[Chorus: Cool V scratches "I hear music" over and over]
|
|
Cool V, give me a drum roll
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
I can't believe how hip-hop has progressed
|
With more and more groups that have finesse
|
We have groups on the East and West coast with different names
|
We all play a part if we didn't we'd go in flames
|
We all got to stick together as one
|
But at the same time, still have fun
|
Cause you don't wanna lose the love for the music
|
When you have it keep it, and make use of it
|
This is a lesson from the S-K Biz
|
Cause nobody else is gonna tell you like it is
|
Everyone thought that rap was just a phase
|
But it still continue, to muse and amaze
|
It gives people chance to show they true talents
|
Instead of submittin to the crime and violence
|
People said to me the S-K-B
|
Is rap gonna stay until infinity?
|
As long as me and V be makin up the beats
|
You will hear people sayin - "I hear music"
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Cool V, give me a drum roll
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
This is the ending, conclusion, kapiche?
|
Of this new hip-hop masterpiece
|
About people countin chickens before they're hatched
|
Recollatin on somethin that they can't match
|
They're creatin sounds of a hip-hop human bein
|
Whether you're American or European
|
Or even if you're from the West or East coast
|
I'd like to thank all of you, save the most
|
Don't diss each other by sayin who's better
|
Just do it the best way, and stick together
|
With different rhyme techniques and DJ cuts
|
And be crazy ambitious, and have a lot of guts
|
And the people buyin, thanks for your support
|
Cause if it wasn't for you, we'd all fall short
|
As long as there's radio, cars and jeeps
|
You know what you will hear?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What, what? What, what what what what?
|
Yo V, yo yo what what what what what what what you hear?
|
I can't hear you man, scratch it up one mo' time!
|
Yo what you hear?
|
Yo Paul Sea, yo yo, what wha-what you hear?
|
Yo Godfather D, I ain't hear what he said, what you hear?
|
