Sound Providers

"Another day up in these labels of rap
And you're a battle MC, who swears that your style is fragrantly fat
Can't wait to hit the studio, disabling tracks
So everyone could hear your shit on turntables and DAT's
You put your single out, so now you're laying it back
'Cause everybody's screaming, "Yo son, your name's on the map!"
...
But prior to all the props and the street buzz
Nobody in your neighborhood could give a fuck who you was
Because they don't love you, they love what you stand for
The car you drive and the loot you got your hands on
That shit could end in a minute, any minute
And your driveway won't have all them Bentleys in it"

[Verse One]
Yo it's Friday night, and ain't nothin to do
Think I'll check out the show where the flavor is true
From 12 to 2, they provide for you
And bless the airwaves with the vibe that's new
Yo Soul, check the levels is it comin in clear?
Well get your tape ready cause the hour is near
Sound Providers are here, time to bless the sphere
This the Choc with the Friday night world premiere
Stand clear cause we're takin you back to the day
To a time when the MC had somethin to say
There was radio play, and the people would say
"God damn that DJ made my day"

[Verse Two]
Independent, or major, as long as there's flavor
Joints get rocked, when my man Choc
gives the command on the FM band
The crates arrive, and the tables are manned
By a street magician, movin the pitch and
gettin mad busy on a musical mission
The streets are listenin, the flavor's on time
We shine, with the Friday night rhyme
At midnight, the request lines are lit up
Choc is on the mic, askin all of y'all to get up
out of your chair and throw your hands in the air
Scoopin up props from Watts to Bel Air
It's like that

[Profile]
You know it's funky funky funky ??cus you heard it from here, say
A jam ? oven rockin' underground airwaves
Words amplify through your speakers and amps
it's time to ??get down, get down?? with the Sound Pro camp
And clap your hands, to the rhythm we bring
this is a joyous event so let your physical swing
Break beats and backspins, an old pad and a pen
These are broke mans poems, from begining* to end
The P-are-O with the soul, so let the record play
Revival of an old school sound, for the president
Always on point, no time for what the jalous say
The essence of a real rap sound, check the resume
And keep it movin', yo the vibes right here
Three sixty degrees another world premiere
So raise your glass, ??cus we're the toast of the town
Yo, Soul grab the mic ??cus it's time to get down

(Dj scratches)
"So let's get down, get down"
"So get down, get down" (4x)

[Soulo]
Check it, I exist in the world of sound
Hit record spots from town to town
Dug deep in the crates where plates are found
Schooled by the greats that shaped the round
Phonograph, yo I break roots in half
Straight architect gets down for the craft
With the sound that hits the spot
Makin' heads bob while your speakers get hot (echoes)
I'm gonna add vocab into the mix
Articulate my words so the concept sticks
G-E-T-D-O-W-N
Then ascend with the three Sound men
Straight to the peak, where poets speak
Jams are live and people vibe
To the underground sound that's history bound
Once again, we're gonna get on down

"So let's get down, get down"
"So get down, get down" (4x)

[Profile]
This is remeniscin' of the days gone by
When the brothers were fresh, and the ladies were fly
Dancefloors were packed, and cold bottles were cracked
Dj's dropped the needle for the crowd to react
To a funky type of tempo that the wax rotate
Fresh rhymes are served up on a 12 inch plate
For the nation to see, the live science to be
Definition of soul on the M-I-see
Interlect is displayed, when the vocals are laid
Timin' is a factor when dissisions are made
So step inside the party all egoes aside
And let the crowd rock steady to the sound we provide
The three man band, Jay Skills and the Pro
Last but not least is my man Soulo
Creatin' the sound, that makes you gather around
Once again, we gonna get on down

"Get down, get down"
"So get down, get down"
"So let's get down, get down"
"So get down, get down" (3x)

Ha-ha to la-la to drive-by's they be callin, and you ain't know
While you be kickin that old shit (talk to me) we makin hits
Platinum and gold shit (we don't stop)

Beside every man is a Bad Girl
(That's right... nine-six Bad Boy c'mon)

I'ma let the rap world
just sit back and max
I be in the lab
with my technician makin' tracks
From my crate of old wax
I reinvent with good intent
So you can tell from the sound
it's time well spent
Sent from the past
to elevate from the mass
You far material just
to show you got class
Well I'm a bigger man
so I let the nonsense pass
You need to open your eyes
because my mindstates fast
Let it be known
that my wisdom is shown
That perfection is the key
to unlock my microphone
I'm penetratin your zone
leavin' all spots blown
But you never would have guessed
it from the sound of my tone
When you see me around
just hit me off at the pound
And I'll be the first to show you
how the Pro gets down
On that note
I think it's time for me to slide
Never question the fact
it's the sound that we provide
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Hey yo
technical difficulties is through
My pen blends smoothly
over paper landscapes
Collective thoughts build
as I start to create
The essence of soul is
dispensed at my control
that is brought to move
the crowd at every show
Cus we provide the sound
that exites the underground
Profile the chosen
one to break it down
And that enables me
to flip any track
Over drums that attack
the perfect blend of pure facts
It's time to bring it
back to the days
of rap scholars
When your rhyme was for real
and not the old mighty dollar
You see I was there
every step of the way
So now you know the reason
why my rhyme style sways
I perfect structures
of phrases I sellect
And the sound that you hear
let you know that I'm correct
This is a musical journey
and sounds my only guide
I'm skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Hey yo
technical difficulties is through
Radient thoughts illuminate
for the blind
A student of my culture
translatin' through rhyme
Educated by time
so check my verbal design
Interject visuals through
the use of the mind
It's all about the money
nowadays so what's the use
The only fortune I hold
are the gems that I produce
The solution is one
but if you don't make the cut
You be the last in line
once the door get shut
The next chapter
page one the conscious rapper
Not in it for fame
so respect is what I'm after
Don't have to wave a gun
to help generate funds
So record exec's can start
throwin' me crumbs
Top dollar as
I walk the chosen path
Invite the mic device
to help me focus my craft
The wisdom is sealed
now it's time to reveal
The actual facts that help me
master my field
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Technical difficulties is through
Skilled in the field
so slide to the side
Hey yo
technical difficulties is through
