What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
See if you can step to this
2
(Back to the lab)
3
Now try to do this step (Back to the lab)
4
And make sure the pace is kept
5
And this ain't as smooth as I'ma get
6
Nice and easy but hard to catch on to
7
Move with melodies, rhymes to respond to
8
The mic's in front of me, so you know it's gonna be
9
Rough and rugged, plus I'm smooth as I wanna be
10
I'm somethin' like sippin' on Dom Perignon
11
So absorb the song, til the rhyme's all gone
12
My beats and speech original, you can't find these
13
Eighty-nine is mine, so is the nineties
14
Tellin you what you need to know and more
15
You're unsure? On tour, I explore
16
From street to street, to speak, from beat after beat
17
My cypher's complete, when I build with people I meet
18
So here's the info straight from the source in fact
19
Paid the cost to be the boss, step back!
20
Give me room to exercise the mind
21
Three-hundred and sixty degrees'll be fine
22
The weight of the world is what we hold
23
That's a six, followed by twenty-one zeroes
24
Six ? sums is a lot of weight
25
My truth is the strength and my thought won't break
26
What it take, concentration, to rebuild our
27
Nation but we got to have mind power
28
And we can make it work, because I know we can
29
And if somethin' go wrong, make another plan
30
It's up to us, so strive and be wise and
31
When we reach the top, don't stop risin'
32
And I'll keep comin' up with more of
33
The most requested songs that you all love
34
Reach out and touch the mic, take control
35
Still gettin' "Paid" and I still got "Soul"
36
And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetry
37
Mind takes X-rays, so listen closely
38
From the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark night
39
Now I'm here to spark the mic
40
Send out truth, for other groups and substitutes
41
With run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loops
42
They'd rather hear the arsonist, they insist
43
No need to reminisce, see if you can step to this
44
(Back to the lab)
45
Step back
46
(Back to the lab)
47
(Back to the lab, without a mic to grab)
48
So just step
49
(Back to the lab)
50
(Back to the lab, without a mic to grab)
51
Just step, the rhymes create energy
52
Charged up, by the cut, and it's sendin' me
53
For a trip through the mind so I can locate
54
A laid back rap at a slow rate
55
It ain't hard at all, cause I invented it
56
As the days go on, you hear them with it
57
Brother bustin' braincells, thinkin' of a rap
58
With the same old style, we had enough of that
59
We all need somethin' to step to
60
And don't forget to, cause I won't let you
61
Dance without hopin' that this come on next
62
And if it go off, the DJ can't flex
63
Cause here's the tempo, I'ma regulate the pace
64
Here's the step, go find some space
65
And what we gonna do is in unison, kick!
66
Shake your head, you're influenced with music
67
By now you're intoxicated, cause I prove I made it
68
The pep your step so soon you get rejuvenated
69
From side to side, you pause and clap
70
But if you came to rap (step back)
71
(Back to the lab, without a mic to grab)
72
(Back to the lab, without a mic to grab)
73
(Back to the lab)
