|
(Verse 1) |
|
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 move to prove that this is improved, when you're at-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 homo's 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 stride for perfection |
|
Why you think they call this a profession? Hey |
|
(Chorus: repeat 2X) |
|
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 |
|
(Verse 2) |
|
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 walls I like that |
|
it bites back and strikes back |
|
At niggaz who are wack, cuz |
|
Back in the day when hip hop was just developing |
|
It 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 |
|
(Chorus) |
|
(Verse 3) |
|
This don't apply to the niggaz who salved |
|
And fell out of their fan base |
|
Trying to chase the big bucks |
|
It sucks, I know, when your heroes wanna appear to hos |
|
Supermacho! And watch the whole role and image of a mic champion |
|
To the fan base it simply can't be done |
|
Cuz they're your folks when you don't get the pop shit |
|
They know you got the top shit and in ain't 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 or 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 fam 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 crime 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 |
|
And don't dub it, some of y'all do |
|
don't deny it |
|
(Chorus) |
