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
