| A one, two, three, four
|
| Oh, I’m alive, yeah
|
| From the slaves to the field
|
| To the booze and the blues
|
| To the ragtime feeling okay
|
| To the jazz in the H we were finding our way
|
| Coltrane stayed playin' all day
|
| To the rock and the roll
|
| Left a hole in the soul
|
| Cause the white folk didn’t want to pay
|
| Didn’t want us no more
|
| So you know I gotta go
|
| Disco soul went to R&B
|
| We got a little older
|
| Times got colder
|
| Couldn’t find a job
|
| Now it’s hard to stay sober
|
| Hip Hop came
|
| And I lost my brain
|
| Can’t go back
|
| Gotta find new things
|
| We crunk, and we bump
|
| And we thug, and we club
|
| And we do
|
| What we really gotta do
|
| I’m a fool who’s in love
|
| With a drug, fill me up
|
| To the music I’ll always stay true
|
| I know (I know)
|
| For sure (for sure)
|
| I got a new radio
|
| I got a new radio
|
| I got a new radio
|
| The sound of the church
|
| Giving birth to the verse
|
| MC’s that would ever touch ground
|
| Singing praise in a way
|
| That could save everyday
|
| So amazing I lay my hat down
|
| Pioneers of the beats in the streets
|
| And I see that the beat is a part of the piece
|
| That I feel when we speak
|
| Or we blow or we sing
|
| It’s relief that can make its so deep
|
| I’m a piece in the puzzle
|
| Little bitty cuz who
|
| Love kickin' game
|
| Wit a mouth that will cuss you
|
| Every day thing
|
| Now a days gotta hustle
|
| Thinking bout the ancestors
|
| Give me muscle
|
| Everything I need
|
| When I gotta go tussle
|
| This is how it go
|
| When the spirit gon touch you
|
| Tell you what I know
