[00:41.07]"Many ciphers, many battles, many sidewalks"
[00:43.80]"Held underground parties in Langston Hughes Township"
[00:47.80]Now when I say 2-0, you say
[00:50.38]Nah, you know the rest,
[00:51.77]This is our scene
[00:53.17]Our music, our movement, the history lives through us
[00:56.32]I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings
[00:59.25]Despite the drama, there's respect and camaraderie
[01:01.80]Every time one of my friends is mentioned in my philosophy
[01:05.04]It's a rite of passage, I'm not trying to be corny
[01:07.46]I got love for Sportn' Life, Alpha P, Massline, and Onry
[01:10.98]Every time somebody steps out on the road
[01:13.10]They bring a little Northwest soul with them, amen
[01:16.89]Alright then, just so you know
[01:18.61]I try to carry that everytime that I rock a show
[01:21.49]So, turn my sound up
[01:23.07]Ricochet off our mountain
[01:24.49]It's Good Medicine that Chief Sealth would of been proud of
[01:27.84]This is our city, town pride, heart, blood, sweat, tears, I-5, North, South side, vibe, live, ride down these city blocks
[01:34.84]And never will be stopped
[01:36.18]They tryin' to shut down the clubs that my city rocks
[01:39.07]Now Mr. Mayor why would you enforce an ordinance?
[01:41.49]Music it saves lives, these kids out here are supporting it
[01:44.59]And through the art form we've learned the importance of community
[01:47.99]Truth to the youth so they know what's up
[01:50.40]Yup, and as a public school student
[01:53.01]I learned from my teachers, but became through my music
[01:55.86]Take that away, that's a vital
[01:57.91]14 Fathoms Deep, Do the Math, Tribal
[02:01.29]My greatest teachers: Beasope and Bida
[02:04.07]Wordsayer was my mayor and things have changed
[02:07.00]But I carry the torch and what I do with that flame
[02:09.54]Is it everytime that I step on the stage
[02:13.09]The skyline is etched in my veins
[02:15.21]You can never put that out, no matter how hard it rains
[02:18.74]"Northwest, making you feel the vibe"
[02:21.08]"Check how Seattle do"
[02:22.50]"Coming to my side"
[02:23.55]"I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) but we on to new—"
[02:26.99]"Put it down for the town"
[02:28.52]"With music"
[02:30.04]"Making you feel the vibe"
[02:32.53]"Check how Seattle do"
[02:33.74]"Coming to my side"
[02:35.55]"When my peeps know my crew bring the flame"
[02:37.99]"Put it down for the town"
[02:39.50]"Wearing that Seattle blue"
[02:41.35]That's right, when you put on a show
[02:43.26]And watch the people seat in between the creases and the doors
[02:46.34]Hitting the melly or sneaking in 'cause they're broke
[02:49.02]Now leaving in between sets because a needing to smoke
[02:51.73]The reason being whatever
[02:53.30]The scene from Beacon to Everett
[02:54.95]Is in need of less ego when we kick it alright
[02:57.29]I get on stage, style, share my whole life
[03:00.48]Try to reach 'em at the bar where they're drinking Miller Lite
[03:03.38]But the kids in the front, they bring out the passion, dude
[03:06.26]Make noise throughout the show and not only when we ask 'em to
[03:09.33]I watch the older cats jaded in the back
[03:11.94]Hands clasped, forgot when they weren't too cool to be a fan, damn
[03:14.68]Hatin' at the concert
[03:16.40]You don't remember RKCNDY, watching Heiro, or vibing out to Alkaholiks
[03:20.48]I know it's not the same, it never will be
[03:23.41]But my, my, my, my city's filthy
[03:26.13]And we've been truly **** since Supreme was up on Broadway in the dookie rope
[03:30.69]Mean muggin' in Sir Mixalot's video
[03:33.36]Back when Scene was rockin' house parties on the floor
[03:36.23]JMG's, Sit N' Spin, and The Paradox
[03:39.20]Back when Market introduced Geo to Sabz
[03:42.13]So much has changed here, so much has not
[03:44.96]I was just a kid hopin' I could earn my spot
[03:47.70]Try to get some props
[03:49.01]Meet a promoter who'll give me a shot
[03:51.10]To let me get up on stage and get the crowd to rock
[03:53.98]Read a page out my notebook
[03:56.00]What I thought would be respected, they would connect with it
[03:59.60]Now looking over the city's the only thing that keeps me calm
[04:02.58]Scattered thoughts jotted down by this pen in my palm
[04:05.09]It's like my city stands still, the world looks on
[04:08.06]If I could only capture it's beauty and put it in a song
[04:11.24]"Northwest, making you feel the vibe"
[04:14.00]"Check how Seattle do"
[04:15.37]"Coming to my side"
[04:16.56]"I mean I like how y'all do (thank you) but we on to new—"
[04:19.84]"Put it down for the town"
[04:21.64]"With music"
[04:22.91]"Making you feel the vibe"
[04:25.06]"Check how Seattle do"
[04:26.50]"Coming to my side"
[04:28.32]"When my peeps know my crew bring the flame"
[04:30.91]"Put it down for the town"
[04:32.56]"Wearing that Seattle blue"
