Story Behind the Song
Respect to hip-hop and its influence upon all music across the board.
Lyrics
A piece of metal connected to a board
Two turntables and a microwhore
I'm a fucking fiend and I've been since '83
If I don't get to hold it, it's over for me
See, I love this shit, the adrenaline rush
I'll tell you a little something
But we'll keep it on the hush
It's almost as good as a big piece of wood
When an emcee rocks a beat like it should get rocked
And the dj kick in with one drop
I picture that fader being my spot
That shit gets me open, that shit gets me locked
Like a synchronized crowd, automatic head nod
It's a wide-open soul exhibition
For those who take in, vibe and listen
When an emcee shines like he was born to rhyme
And it's a natural reaction to the bass line
Then the serotonin halts, rises under my hood
And the hip-hop connection makes me feel so good
Yeah, this is my shit
This is my fix
This is what I n'I would call wicked licks
Like a vibrant floor, bouncing skirts
The sound from the speakers makes bodies merge
B-boys and rude girls bubble by the wall
The street is on the wall and I'm gonna climb this wall
Not a corporate ladder, it couldn't be phatter
Than to see that shit shatter and make real things matter
In this life too, not just before or after
I'm gonna take what I can, I'm gonna be a fucking Napster
Some don't give a fuck, it's easier that way
Illusionary leeway to continue to stray
And not challenge a challenge, but choose to obey
While souls are auctioned off on eBay
I'm the master of my emotions
But it's only through venting that I avoid an explosion
Mental commotion, mind erosion
Rhyme or die, my lips are always in motion
I told you I'm an addict, I told you I'm a fiend
I don't spit to be seen, this is something I need
Life is a dance on deadly nails
And the media can make us feel as if we've failed
And some emcees add to the race
By blasting ice and cars in my face
And they try to make me cherish golden things
I cherish the dirt for the food it brings
Remember this when I n'I come a-dance
And you want to make an Ital bitch like me bounce
I'd rather bounce to an instrumental
Than to a rhyme that's fake like the smiles of Mentos
I meant those words so I had them combined
I don't spit to be nasty, but to ease my mind
And with a life so fucked, I don't run out of lines
A memory loss, yeah, that would suit me fine
Like a bag of glue, lighter fumes
I tried it all to make my life brighter
But nothing worked until I entered the cipher
I owe my life to hip-hop and I'm gonna make it tighter
