(Verse 1: Christopher Michael Jensen)
Yeah, when I hear a good beat, I wanna amplify it, so turn the stereo up as I jam beside it, a head bob's like a nod of approval, ya can't deny it, and ya can't dance to silence, nah, without music I feel useless and I have to find it, discovered my trade and I plan to ply it, so shit's about to pop off like the top of a dandelion, yeah, I stand defiant in the face of an industry that is dyin', most rappers are coastin', they're just goin' through the motions like they're pantomimin', but I've been puttin' in work and analyzin' the game for over ten years, fantasizin', now I've turned a new page, I'm on stage doin' what I love today and I can't describe it
(Verse 2: .dB)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm all over this track like my mic got cleats, together I am one with the beat, it kept me out the morgue, got me out the streets, kept me on board when I was surfin' from police, yeah, it's the only reason I'm not currently deceased, yeah, it's the only reason that I have inner peace, it's not just music to me, it's a movement to me, no other place I would rather be, than spittin' in the booth, or rockin' on stage, and you know you're the truth when your fans get enraged, 'cause you ain't comin' out, or you just wanna stop, I still get e-mails about when you gonna drop, I never plan to quit, so tell 'em that I'm here now, I would love to stop and hear all the cheers now, this is the life I chose, hip hop is in my soul, and without it I'm cold, yeah
