Now when I say 2-0  you say

Nah  you know the rest
This is our scene

Our music  our movement  the history lives through us
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings

Despite the drama  there's respect and camaraderie

Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy

It's a rite of passage  I'm not trying to be corny
I got love for Sportn' Life Alpha P  Massline and Onry
Every time somebody steps out on the road
They bring a little Northwest soul with them amen

Alright then  just so you know
I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show

So  turn my sound up
Ricochet off our mountain

It's Good Medicine that Chief Sealth would of been proud of

This is our city  town pride  heart  blood  sweat
Tears  I-5  North  South side  vibe  live  ride down
These city blocks
And never will be stopped
They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks
Now Mr  Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance
Music it saves lives  these kids out here are supporting it
And through the art form we've learned the importance of community

Truth to the youth so they know what's up

Yup  and as a public school student
I learned from my teachers  but became through my music

Take that away  that's a vital

14 Fathoms Deep  Do the Math  Tribal

My greatest teachers: Beasope and Bida
Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed

But I carry the torch and what I do with that flame

Is lit everytime that I step on the stage

The skyline is etched in my veins
You can never put that out  no matter how hard it rains

That's right  when you put on a show
And watch the people seat in between the creases and the doors

Hitting the melly or sneaking in 'cause they're broke
Now leaving in between sets because a needing to smoke

The reason being whatever

The scene from Beacon to Everett
Is in need of less ego when we kick it alright

I get on stage  style  share my whole life
Try to reach 'em at the bar where they're drinking Miller Lite
But the kids in the front  they bring out the passion  dude
Make noise throughout the show and not only when we ask 'em to
I watch the older cats jaded in the back
Hands clasped  forgot when they weren't too cool to be a fan  damn
Hatin' at the concert

You don't remember RKCNDY watching Heiro or vibing out to Alkaholiks

I know it's not the same  it never will be

But my  my  my  my city's filthy

And we've been truly dope since
Supreme was up on Broadway in the dookie rope
Mean muggin' in Sir Mixalot's video

Back when Scene was rockin' house parties on the floor

JMG's  Sit N' Spin  and The Paradox

Back when Market introduced Geo to Sabz

So much has changed here  so much has not
I was just a kid hopin' I could earn my spot
Try to get some props
Meet a promoter who'll give me a shot
To let me get up on stage and get the crowd to rock
Read a page out my notebook
What I thought would be respected  they would connect with it

Now looking over the city's the only thing that keeps me calm
Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm
It's like my city stands still the world looks on
If I could only capture it's beauty and put it in a song
