Kimosabe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Merry-go stereotype typical
The expectation was visible
Make money residual paying dues physically (come on)
I resurrect the earth from birth
And switch the dead bread like it was sandwich spread
Seventy five percent of MCs in the millennium
Get offended when Jack steps up and put the venom up in 'em
The venom is affirmable by penicillin to pen them
A BT track line with critical linen
When we roll with the disk format to upload
In your ears hear the tick from about to erupt
Blow the whole store floor foundation, plus the planet
With more control than (Playstation) or Janet

Once the circle starts to form
B-boys and B-girls start to swarm
Especially from beginning of the night to morn
'Cause they like the song, the hype is on
Come on

[Hook]
What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on
What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

[Ad lib]
Full effect
Full effect
Full effect

[Verse 2]
You try difficult scientifical
Couldn't even defend to go unidentical
With yo merry-go stereotype typical
The expectation was visible
Make money residual without paying dues physically
We'll resurrect the earth from birth
And switch the dead bread no prob across the globe like it was sandwich spread
Seventy five percent of MCs in the millennium
Get offended when Jack steps up and put the venom up in 'em (venom up in 'em)
When I rock creativity
When I rock
I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity

Store floor foundation, plus the planet
Meaning with more creative control than (Playstation) or Janet Jackson
Full effect use the full I'm the effect
That means you'll never come full effect

Once the circle starts to form
B-boys and B-girls start to swarm
Especially from the beginning of night to morn
'Cause they like the song the hype is on
Come on

[Interlude]
B-boys, B-girls on the floor
B-boys, B-girls on the floor
Full effect

[Verse 3]
Brothers caught in a lie
Not wishing they was like on top of the world
Realized a comment refer to Hip-Hop as a girl
'Cause back in junior class my cats return from tour
Remember to race well cause I wish I met her sooner
Fortunately I step to her and it had to be a dope strategy
She was leaded to an academy
Can I have your digits? (sorry)
I'm traveling and its hard to get at me
What's your major by the way? Fraudulent activity!?
I slap on track energy backflip on non abstract captivity when I rock creativity
I bust positive vibes from the west to Maui
We're back cause the antidote created in Cali

'Cause once the circle starts to form
B-boys and B-girls start to swarm
Especially from the beginning of night to morn
'Cause they like the song the hype is on
Come on

[Hook]
What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

What we came to do is uplift you
Shift the whole party and straight lift you
Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

[Breakdown]
Full effect
Full effect
When I rock creativity
When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe

When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe

When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe

When I rock creativity (I rock)
I need a positive vibe
I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity

I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity

I need a positive vibe
When I rock creativity

I need a positive vibe
When I rock

Come on!

[Hook]

Jump up to the sound of the bump of the beat
This is for the street, come on

Watch out for my man BT
