[Sample]
You are listening to the sound of music.
The simple and complex rhythms.
And the fills, and the solos.
They're all compiled by a leading performer and writer...
Lexicon!
In addition, you will apply what you have learned almost immediately by playing along with the rock group of this record.
[Verse 1 - Big Oak]
In my '99 Saturn, switchin four lanes
Nah, f** it, I'm gettin sick of rollin' in a bucket
So I dumped in a ditch, got a truck with leather
figured out why I've been feelin' under the weather
rolled around for three years with a broken tape deck
bumpin commercial radio, it made me sick
I got used to it man, it that made me sick
got it fixed, but some underground, it made me sick!
so now I only listen to sh**, that's good for my health
like styles of beyond, Apathy and Celph
4-zone, Sandman, JaySon plus Jay-Z, anything old and rock n' roll
I'm feelin' too old, from bein twenty-two
gettin' nostalgic with songs like my dad used to do
it's pathetic, but I don't mean to start a revolution
I'm just makin music, makin my contribution
[Verse 2 - Celph Titled]
I'll be deep in the lab, cookin up some gourmet rap sh**
at the chrome depot, where we lay the tracks with
bangin' beats, we masters of the sample surgery
with rhymes so dope they have to be heard hypodermically
all over the world I'm famous for instrumental treats
but really I'm just a rapper that decided to make some beats
don't ever call me a producer on the mic
I'm an mc behind the boards you'd better get it right
and n***a's around my way be knowin' me for havin mad quotes
but I find it funny cause punch lines are just bad jokes
I'm a monster in this industry, who stays scheming
on Halloween I dress like a human being
I make the type of music you could nod your head to
entire albums you could play 'till the ca**ette's through
I talk a lot of thug sh** in these rap songs
but that's what happens when you put a raw n***a's track on
[Chorus]
we're making music, you'd better learn how to use it
you got the sk**s, better step up and prove it
if you got a title, pretty soon your going to lose it
cause the L is here to stay, okay?
We're makin' music, not that underground trash
that floods the record racks and makes no impact
all-right, okay, they can't take all the blame
but it's not us, we're just here to save the day
[Verse 3 - Nick Fury]
yo
we're makin' music while you write that abstract crap
talkin' bout the periodic table in a rap
c'mon, what the f** are ya'll doin'?
you'd better go back and listen to some "juice crew" and
understand that no one wants to hear that bullsh**
silly verse about your lyrical science experiment (nope)
save it for your little internet geek sessions
with your beats that will cure insomnia in seconds
see while ya pack forty words in a bar and think
we pack forty girls in a bar and drink
cause it's like that
the distortion off the?? and demigodz are here to strike back
I'm somewhere in-between stunts, bloods and hip hop
and s**, d** and rock n' roll, now that's music
I've got my word and I'm not afraid to use it
the hell with rap, I'ma sing the blues kid
[Verse 4 - Apathy]
I'm tryin' ta make joints 'till it gets played by Flex and Angie
and you can hear it comin' out an Ap, Lex or Camry
f**in' groupies until I only smell s** and candy
and if the girls don't jock I keep my ex's handy
I'll be rappin' 'till my little kids are playin' candy land
and I'm a family man, with car seats inside a family van
I'll be changin their diapers, while I'm hangin' in ciphers
and hit you with their sh**ty drawers if your raps ain't tighter
I'm a demigod, you motherf**ers don't know the half
about this white boy speakin' five percent of math
with polo's to? and hoes I mack easily
control their sub-conscious with subliminal frequencies
f** young chicks, visiting dorm's too frequently
they don't blow up my spot, they're all sworn to secrecy
they stay on the dick, when chicks hear my new sh**
and even keep a box of toothpicks to pick the pubics
it's music
[Chorus]
we're making music, you'd better learn how to use it
you got the sk**s, better step up and prove it
if you got a title, pretty soon your going to lose it
cause the Ap and Celph is here to stay, okay?
We're makin' music, not that underground trash
that floods the record racks and makes no impact
all-right, okay, they can't take all the blame
but it's not us, we're just here to save the day
