== Lyrics ==
<pre>Committed to taking care of my B.I. as well as fam
Committed to wrecking shit when I comes up in the jam
Committed to winning, committed to represent
Hotter raiders like to say a commitment to excellence
Committed to staying focused and keeping a level head
Committed to be the underdog and say probably pure bred
Committed to the streets of Queens to Hempstead
Committed to find a chick that knows how to give head
Committed to making jams out of folks shaking their ass
Committed to smacking MCs who tend to talk trash
Committed to get the cash, committed to make it last
Committed to the beautiful hot island of Trinidad
Committed to keep it high, committed to not give a what
Committed to ATCQ whether broken up or not
Committed to make moves and straight blow up the spot
Whether you like it or not

You got your thieves, liars, players, macks
Too many people simply getting paid to simply fake jacks
How can we change that?
Nobody gives a damn about that
I heard money got a-

Committed to bring the drama whenever that it is needed
Committed to say "f you" to broads that act conceded
Committed to mama, cause she brought me in the world
Committed to shit on fellas till they motherfucking hurl

That's right (Where's your commitment?)
That's right (Where's your commitment?)
That's right (Where's your commitment?)
That's right (Where's your commitment?)</pre>

== Song Production Information ==
AMBIVALENCE is a producer, trackmaker, and recording artist whose upcoming album release should get your attention.

Their 8-track AMBIVALENCE EP, courtesy of THE CREATORS' independent label CREATIVE ENTERTAINMENT, contains remixes of THE CREATORS' single ANOTHER WORLD and MIKE ZOOT'S HIGH DRAMA PT 3, both of which feature MOS DEF and TALIB KWELI (aka BLACK STAR).

This song is the first single from that album. It features PHIFE DAWG, former MC of A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, and shows off slick production values.

== Video Production Information ==
I put the video together with the main focus being on the helmet kid created by yaku-kun.

The artwork was actually made for [[TOKIO]] originally, but the song was arranged to be more eccentric than I'd anticipated and the two didn't mesh together very well, so I took the artwork and used it for this song.

They go together so well that it doesn't even feel like the art was tacked on afterwards, don't you think?

== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
beatmania difficulty rated from 1 to 9. (Ratings and notecounts obtained from [http://kani.no.coocan.jp/bm/bm.htm KANI KANI CRAB].)
