Lyrics

This is a journey into sound This is a journey into sound A journey which, along the way, will bring to you new color, new dimension, new value When all is ready, I throw this switch Pump up the volume Pump up the volume Pump that bass Im nin'alu Daltei n'divim You make me feel so good We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin From our on the spot task force Oh my gosh, the music just turns me on Thinkin' of a master plan Def wit' the record, def wit' the record Thinkin' of a master plan Def wit' the record, def wit' the record Thinkin' of a master plan 'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent So I dig deeper but still comin' up wit' lint So I, start my mission, leave my residence Thinkin' how could I get some dead presidents I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid So I think of all the devious things I did 1, 2, 3, 4 I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain't nothin' funny Stop smilin', be still, don't nothin' move but the money But now I learned to earn, 'cause I'm righteous I feel great, so maybe I might just Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive Then maybe I stay alive So I walk up the street, whistlin' this Feelin' out of place, 'cause man, do I miss A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape'a Me and Eric B., and a nice big plate'a Fish, which is my favorite dish But wit'out no money it's still a wish 'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made So now's a test to see if I got pull Hit the studio, 'cause I'm paid in full 1, 2, 3, unh By George, even London grooves Pump up the volume Pump up the volume Wait a minute, you better talk to my mother Im nin'alu Oh, hahaha El Chai mareimawm Okay Oh, hahaha Alright Oh, hahaha Yo, what happened to peace? Peace 1, 2, 3, 4 Def wit' the record, def wit' the record It's so fresh Goodnight kids
