I Hear Music

One two, one two

You're listenin to the grand groovin sounds

Of the diabolical energetical b-i-z

Emmezah-a-rrrah-k

And this goes out to my dj

The cutmaster that no one cuts faster than

C-double-oh-l v

Drumroll v

[verse one]

It's a different kind of sound that's in the air

It's not shots, firecrackers, or a car that's there

A little different noise for your listenin pleasure

A sample from a record that's a four bar measure

Adults think this music is just a big headache

They think all this hard work, is just a piece of cake

They must be buggin, right out of they socks

Why don't they get up and try to do, the human beatbox

Cause back in the days when there was just block parties

A dj would set up his equipment, and start these

Live performances, and dj tricks

A lot of different dj's was on the mix

It is a proven fact, music is a universal language

From the tip of long island to the verrezano bridge

We won awards and served them by the millions

The more more years go by, the more we be killin 'em

They said it's just a fad, it will never last a year

All of a sudden, ten years later - "i hear music"

[chorus: cool v scratches "i hear music" over and over]

Cool v, give me a drum roll

[verse two]

I can't believe how hip-hop has progressed

With more and more groups that have finesse

We have groups on the east and west coast with different names

We all play a part if we didn't we'd go in flames

We all got to stick together as one

But at the same time, still have fun

Cause you don't wanna lose the love for the music

When you have it keep it, and make use of it

This is a lesson from the s-k biz

Cause nobody else is gonna tell yo
