| [00:15.32] |
This is our scene |
| [00:15.92] |
|
| [00:16.85] |
Our music our movement the history lives through us |
| [00:19.81] |
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings |
| [00:22.25] |
|
| [00:23.07] |
Despite the drama there's respect and camaraderie |
| [00:25.08] |
|
| [00:25.60] |
Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy |
| [00:28.00] |
|
| [00:28.53] |
It's a rite of passage I'm not trying to be corny |
| [00:31.12] |
I got love for Sportn' Life Alpha P Massline and Onry |
| [00:34.38] |
Every time somebody steps out on the road |
| [00:36.74] |
They bring a little Northwest soul with them amen |
| [00:39.29] |
|
| [00:40.57] |
Alright then just so you know |
| [00:42.17] |
I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show |
| [00:44.63] |
|
| [00:45.21] |
So turn my sound up |
| [00:46.50] |
Ricochet off our mountain |
| [00:47.67] |
|
| [00:48.21] |
It's Good Medicine that Chief Sealth would of been proud of |
| [00:50.66] |
|
| [00:51.23] |
This is our city town pride heart blood sweat |
| [00:53.84] |
Tears I-5 North South side vibe live ride down |
| [00:57.27] |
These city blocks |
| [00:58.37] |
And never will be stopped |
| [00:59.79] |
They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks |
| [01:02.44] |
Now Mr Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance |
| [01:04.97] |
Music it saves lives these kids out here are supporting it |
| [01:08.04] |
And through the art form we've learned the importance of community |
| [01:10.82] |
|
| [01:11.45] |
Truth to the youth so they know what's up |
| [01:13.65] |
|
| [01:14.73] |
Yup and as a public school student |
| [01:16.29] |
I learned from my teachers but became through my music |
| [01:18.85] |
|
| [01:19.57] |
Take that away that's a vital |
| [01:20.90] |
|
| [01:21.66] |
14 Fathoms Deep Do the Math Tribal |
| [01:24.25] |

| [01:25.09] |
My greatest teachers: Beasope and Bida |
| [01:27.63] |
Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed |
| [01:30.00] |
|
| [01:30.53] |
But I carry the torch and what I do with that flame |
| [01:32.66] |
|
| [01:33.24] |
Is lit everytime that I step on the stage |
| [01:35.65] |
|
| [01:36.71] |
The skyline is etched in my veins |
| [01:38.97] |
You can never put that out no matter how hard it rains |
| [01:41.73] |
|
| [02:05.00] |
That's right when you put on a show |
| [02:06.77] |
And watch the people seat in between the creases and the doors |
| [02:09.37] |
|
| [02:09.89] |
Hitting the melly or sneaking in 'cause they're broke |
| [02:12.45] |
Now leaving in between sets because a needing to smoke |
| [02:14.94] |
|
| [02:15.52] |
The reason being whatever |
| [02:16.31] |
|
| [02:16.84] |
The scene from Beacon to Everett |
| [02:18.40] |
Is in need of less ego when we kick it alright |
| [02:20.51] |
|
| [02:21.11] |
I get on stage style share my whole life |
| [02:24.07] |
Try to reach 'em at the bar where they're drinking Miller Lite |
| [02:26.76] |
But the kids in the front they bring out the passion dude |
| [02:29.90] |
Make noise throughout the show and not only when we ask 'em to |
| [02:32.90] |
I watch the older cats jaded in the back |
| [02:35.19] |
Hands clasped forgot when they weren't too cool to be a fan damn |
| [02:38.20] |
Hatin' at the concert |
| [02:39.21] |
|
| [02:40.02] |
You don't remember RKCNDY watching Heiro or vibing out to Alkaholiks |
| [02:43.14] |
|
| [02:44.17] |
I know it's not the same it never will be |
| [02:46.55] |
|
| [02:47.11] |
But my my my my city's filthy |
| [02:49.16] |
|
| [02:49.92] |
And we've been truly dope since |
| [02:51.49] |
Supreme was up on Broadway in the dookie rope |
| [02:54.22] |
Mean muggin' in Sir Mixalot's video |
| [02:56.11] |

|
| [03:02.64] |
Back when Market introduced Geo to Sabz |
| [03:04.72] |
|
| [03:05.44] |
So much has changed here so much has not |
| [03:08.30] |
I was just a kid hopin' I could earn my spot |
| [03:11.08] |
Try to get some props |
| [03:12.49] |
Meet a promoter who'll give me a shot |
| [03:14.59] |
To let me get up on stage and get the crowd to rock |
| [03:17.43] |
Read a page out my notebook |
| [03:19.23] |
What I thought would be respected they would connect with it |
| [03:22.72] |
|
| [03:23.34] |
Now looking over the city's the only thing that keeps me calm |
| [03:26.20] |
Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm |
| [03:28.75] |
It's like my city stands still the world looks on |
| [03:31.78] |
If I could only capture it's beauty and put it in a song |
