| I’m ready for action, packing provisions of visions
|
| Verbally, every word will be enhanced
|
| With the bass that’ll put you in a trance
|
| Some dance, come take a chance
|
| Del won’t do you wrong
|
| I’ve been in the rap game too long to falter
|
| I rock like Gibraltar
|
| Make you kneel to the butt like an altar
|
| We prove the groove is improved, when you add water
|
| Caught em with vibration that soothes your back like massages
|
| Before you can park your car in garages
|
| It’ll be just for riders, listening to 'ROCK THE BELLS'
|
| You can barely hear the vocals
|
| Mixing is important, getting the public into chokeholds
|
| Hip hop hopefuls will do well to know this
|
| It ain’t about who’s the dopest
|
| It’s who gets the fan’s focus upon you
|
| When they feel what the song do
|
| I think I’m onto something, when I got my shit pumping
|
| I remember, when they were satisfied with just lyrics
|
| Now, if the music 's flat
|
| I can barely stand to hear it
|
| And my rhymes are impeccable and you can’t dissect my flow
|
| With music sounding like it’s out of tin cans
|
| Just wretch the whole vibe and strive for perfection
|
| Why you think they call this a profession? |
| Hey
|
| Can’t forget the bass, the bottom got em crawling to the wall man
|
| We got cassettes, CD’s and LP’s
|
| DJ’s for days, whatever you do
|
| Give it your all, cause that’s what pays
|
| I just love when I can hear the bump pleading to the walls
|
| In the halls, coming from the record stores in the malls
|
| A beat with balls, I like that
|
| It bites back and strikes back
|
| At niggas who are wack, cuz
|
| Back in the day when hip hop was just developing
|
| Was back in the day
|
| We should be relishing in experience
|
| All you newcomers better be leery cause
|
| Hieroglyphics got the bump
|
| And it ain’t mysterious
|
| This don’t apply to the niggas who sell out
|
| And fell out their fan base
|
| Trying to chase the big bucks
|
| It sucks, I know, when your heroes wanna appear to hoes
|
| Supermacho! |
| And watch the whole role and image of a mic champion
|
| To the fam base it simply can’t be done
|
| Cuz they’re your folks when you don’t get the prop shit
|
| Cause they know you got the top shit and in it only for profit
|
| But since we on the topic, let me drop it
|
| We need to stop this segregation of hip hop
|
| Talking 'bout fuck the east coast, and fuck the west
|
| He’s sold out, cause someone either sings a toast in the chorus
|
| What is real hip hop then? |
| Only the shit you listen to
|
| Everything else pretending, I’m sending a message to my fan base
|
| Fuck this is hip hop and this is rap, it came from the same place
|
| And there’s a place for everything including hieroglyphics
|
| And we gonna come with it, as long as y’all with it
|
| Cause the fan base is like a legion
|
| For one cause, we want the dope shit cause
|
| The other got flossed ??? |
| Now
|
| I’m a fan who likes a lot of different things
|
| I differentiate with music just to spread my wings
|
| I always do my best, that’s why the fans love me
|
| Not some contrived shit, so I can be bubbly
|
| We all got some preferences, that’s just how it goes
|
| But when you see there’s an effort being made, don’t turn up your nose
|
| Turn up the bass, race to go and buy it
|
| Some of y’all love it — don’t you, don’t deny it |
