Swing Lyrics

[Mantra]
Straight up
Put the stakes up
Let history print a new page up

Spitting' armour-guarded bars
Til the bar literally get raised up

Wake up
Get outta your element
Ladies and gentlemen
Just for a second
Imagine the medicine
We could be peddalling
If we inherit the sound and develop it

[Dylan Joel]
Records, cassette tapes, CD's to files
Doing the same thing
Yet development's going wild
Hard to stay updated
Been that way for a while
So we keep it original
Still spinning on vinyls

[Mantra]
Still winning the title
Style is never tired
Work ethic is tireless
Timeless by design
Been live since the wireless
Now I'm wyling out on Sound-Cloud Nine
With unlimited wireless
[Dyaln Joel]
The fame, steeze
Peeps with dope bars
Only schooling us like weekends
No class

I'll pass the thought of doing whatever you're on
Morons for calling indie
When indie's an oxymoron


[Mantra]
Feel the soul
In all that we hold
On the real
We about to let the story be told
And reveal
What it really it mean and take
To make a record gold


[Dylan Joel]
In this new era we stepping out of the mold

[Mantra]
Enter a new dimension we set to let it unfold
A legendary legacy inherited rock & roll

[Dylan Joel]
Rolling out the fact that we backing to make art
About to be the breaker of ballin' on one path
[Mantra]
The path is never certain the march ever determined
The heart never in question when these artists emerging

[Dylan Joel]
Emerging from what the world tell us we can't do
Cause the scene aren't truly gonna see past you

[Mantra]
So when we pass through, we speak to the past you
And ask you, to join us in the present

[Dylan Joel]
Here we are dude strolling through the decades
Scrolling through what they said hey
Pay homage to the ones who keep building the next day

[Mantra]
On-n-n-on we stand strong

[Dylan Joel]
Yep strong when our future view is damn wrong

[Mantra]
Future is looking bright

[Dylan Joel]
If you doing your own thing

[Mantra]
For real

[Dylan Joel & Mantra]
If other peeps got swag, we got swing
What?
If other peeps got swag we got swing?
Indeed
If other peeps got swag we got swing
It's true
If other peeps got swag we got swing
