This is a journey into sound
ย
This is a journey into sound
A journey which, along the way, will bring to you new color, new dimension, new value
ย
When all is ready, I throw this switch
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Pump that bass
Im nin'alu

You make me feel so good
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin
From our on the spot task force
Oh my gosh, the music just turns me on
Thinkin' of a master plan
Def wit' the record, def wit' the record
Thinkin' of a master plan
Def wit' the record, def wit' the record
Thinkin' of a master plan
'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand
So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent
So I dig deeper but still comin' up wit' lint
So I, start my mission, leave my residence
Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
1, 2, 3, 4
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nothin' funny
Stop smilin', be still, don't nothin' move but the money
But now I learned to earn, 'cause I'm righteous
I feel great, so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I stay alive
So I walk up the street, whistlin' this
Feelin' out of place, 'cause man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape'a
Me and Eric B., and a nice big plate'a
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But wit'out no money it's still a wish
'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
So now's a test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, 'cause I'm paid in full
ย
1, 2, 3, unh
By George, even London grooves
Pump up the volume
Pump up the volume
Wait a minute, you better talk to my mother
Im nin'alu
Oh, hahaha
El Chai mareimawm
ย
Okay
Oh, hahaha
Alright
Oh, hahaha
Yo, what happened to peace?
Peace
ย
1, 2, 3, 4
Def wit' the record, def wit' the record
It's so fresh
ย
Goodnight kids
