O.G. STYLE - Listen To The Drum lyrics

rate me

You wanna brag about your DJ, then watch how the Boss play

There'll be no hearsay, yo, just a delay

From you and your crew cause your crew half-step

Always talkin, can't maintain a rep

We go measure for measure, metaphors and beat breaks

Y'all get hype from all the bass the drum makes

The crowd's in a mix when I grab a microphone

Soon as I touch it, the wacks go home

The beat gets pumped, the bassline adds a traction

Know you like the drum and I can tell by your reaction

You check the tempo, dance with it and flow

Then you take a breather to see how the beat go

You test it, you took it home and blessed it

Went to a nightclub and heard em request it

You stay awake at night and tap the beat

And put lyrics to it later in your moonlight sleep

You told your boys that you made it up, them suckers bait it up

Boss is the maker and all you do is eat it up

I'm the kid that's keepin hip-hop spunky

So yo Boss, get funky

Listen to the drum

Listen up people, I'm glad you're here

I brought a funky drum for your ear

If you move you lose, they might pick you up

And if you rhyme like all the others I wish you luck

It's The E in the place and the drum's my sidekick

Follow the trail if the fog ain't thick

Come on, listen to the drum, it's kinda funky, ain't it

I know it is cause you ain't complainin

The girls say I'm cool since to rhyme is my type

Since I always grab a mic when the beat sounds hype

When it's pumped to it's potential and Boss says hit it

You can bet your bottom dollar The E'll be with it

It's somethin funky for all of y'all to dance to

Yo, so here is your chance to

Listen to the drum

The beat sound funky cause it's a dancing groove

Motivated by my lyrics so it makes you move

The snare, the bass kick I had a match with

My song that flows on, but this ain't a hat trick

I'm teachin the use of a drum cause time is ample

You need an audio clue, here's a sample

I'm a perfectionist, Boss, drop a beat on

Make it funky, somethin biters wanna eat on

Huh, then I'm a serve em a plate full of hit songs

Why do I say it's a hit? Cause the kick's strong

Movin and groovin cause I romance the drum

You oughta get with me, chump, cause I'm as smooth as they come

I never fess I'm 'bout business, my work is my concert

I expect what I get but the drum does the hard work

I'm a freelance vocalist, I been known to diss one

Hah, you oughta get with this one

Listen to the drum
