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 **** 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
