Lyrics
Ay one two (Yo we're recordin' yo, come up on the mic a little bit)
Setting up for recording, adjusting the microphone.
Check, check check (a'ight)
Confirming audio levels before starting.
Ey yo, yo yeah bring in them keys real quick though
Request to bring in musical keys or instruments.
You know what I'm talkin' about, yeah
Confirming understanding or agreement.
Eyedea and Abilities in the house, two-thousand and three

Well drop that beat then
Requesting the start of the beat.
Ladies and Gentlemen (EA, EA)
Announcing Eyedea & Abilities (EA) to the audience.
Ladies and Gentlemen (EA)
-We bringin' it back to basics, situated under the basement
Returning to fundamental aspects, possibly the roots of hip-hop.
The nation is guaranteed to hit the pavement
Ensuring that the impact will be strong and undeniable.
You slept now you're bobbin' your head
After being unaware, now enjoying the music intensely.
So hard your left with a permanent injury to your neck
Enjoying the music so much that it's causing physical strain.
The turn of the century's way behind
Reflecting on leaving the past behind, moving forward.
We raped the time and she gave birth to the First Born drafted this design
Metaphorical depiction of creating something groundbreaking.
What? You thought our second record wouldn't be live? surprise!
Surprising the audience with the liveliness of their second record.
Why'd it take you so long realize only the strong survive?
Questioning why it took so long for some to recognize their talent.
Without the need for compromise, no one's above us, in context
Emphasizing strength and integrity without compromise.
Your whole genre's elevator music playin' on the way up to where my songs sit
Asserting superiority over other music genres.
You sold a lot of records, but I got a question
Questioning the commercial success of other artists' albums.
How many endin' up back in the used section, all of 'em
Implies that despite initial sales, many albums are resold as used.
Yeah Abilities' beats bang
Complimenting Abilities' beats but suggesting they're not commercial.
But he ain't makin' nothin' for you, so stop callin' him
Dismissing the notion that Abilities creates mainstream music.
I had enough of these pretty punk emcee, DJ duos
Criticizing superficial or manufactured hip-hop groups.
Pseudo-boy bands holdin' hands in public
Mocking manufactured music groups presenting a false image.
Your candy-coated condom-flavored karaoke cover songs
Derogatory description of insincere, commercialized music.
Are no longer accepted so I suggest you exit
Rejecting insincere music and advising its creators to leave.
Back on a mission to corrupt human brain waves
Expressing a rebellious intent to influence minds and challenge norms.
Unconcerned with circumstantial turbulence, we learn to aim straight
Remaining focused despite challenges, aiming for a direct impact.
With every endin' there comes a new beginnin'
Highlighting the cyclical nature of endings leading to new beginnings.
Listen we got to clue you in on just what you've been missin'
Suggesting the need for listeners to understand what they've been missing.
