Lyrics

24-7 I'm a hip 2 da game
Try to get the deal so making demo tape
Life struggle but I can't make bungle
I ain't some wild kid born in a jungle
Microphone i've got right hand
The other hand got moet chamdon champagne
I have no time 4 da faking funk sound
U know bu 4 da pound

I'm fed up with their wack sound
Don't know if you're going up or down
You're just like my mom and dad
When i'm happy you're making me sad
I'm tired of this mom and dad stuff
Face it kid I had enough
So listen to what we say
This happens everyday

You know how to kick da flava
If you ain't wack I guess you can make paper
What you gonna get a couple years later
Lexsus beamer benz anything you wanna ride
I'm your side till die
Stick wit your style
Following you more than 100 miles
Anywhere you gotta go i'm wit you to
Don't worry I got bu by myself fool

Song Production Information

beatmania

Since it was early in beatmania's development when I created this song, I made it so that it played staple phrases and musical instruments many people would recognize, despite being hip-hop. These "staples" consist of the brass hits at the beginning, the distortion guitar, and the symbol of the end of the '80s: the DX-7 electric piano.
