Bass, treble, c’mon, look around, man
The thump, the level
All that’s the sound man
When the boom bap dumps hard on the ground
Man it’s a good sound, man
That’s never caught pounding
Fingers on levels, eyes on the session
Pump the bass bottom
Give me more of that compression
Sound engineer it
You’ve got to have the ear and
You’ve got to know what you hear
Never overbearing
You bring the sound blaring hot
Like you ain’t caring
The level’s in the red, but no
You ain’t staring you pushing more bottom
You make the sound crack
Like the snare going "blap" on
A boom boom bap
Sound man, I hear you, better yet, I see you
Yeah man, you free to adjust the EQ
Pump up the reverb, mess with the delay
Gimme more and turn up the DJ
The real Hip-Hop is
The real Hip-Hop is fresh

From the time I come out, I do a line check
I spit a freestyle to get you
In the right mind set
It ain’t time yet to spit a rhyme yet
My right frequency the sound man
He didn’t find yet
So while he searching for it
I’ll keep on working on it
We want that big sound before they
Close the curtain on it
So let’s turn it up, so let’s turn it up
Don’t be afraid, turn it up, word is up
We wanna thank the sound
People that’s with me when the music is low
They turn it up quickly
When the sounds are low
They brighten and lift me
When the feedback comes
They killin’ it swiftly
The sound can be tricky when you see me play
No computers, just a mixer and some DJs
Never no frontin’
We showin’ all y’all something
Sound man, just keep the music bumpin’
It ain’t nothing

The real Hip-Hop is
The real Hip-Hop is (fresh)

I’ma keep rapping while tours
They keep happening
Got a of rhymes for people to keep
Boom bap beats with rhymes
To keep attractin’ ‘em
That’s why the sound man gots
To have rap in ‘em
Cordless, hardwire, fifty-eight mics
Wring ‘em out ‘cause all
Rappers don’t sound alike
I found a light, it’s at the end of the rear
It’s the sound engineer that really
Cares about what he hears
It’s the bass and snares
He understands the music
He’s a fan of the music
He makes plans for the music
He sets the EQ, how his hands gonna choose it
It’s not a band
But he still plans for the acoustics
This is the sound man that I be looking for
These are the dudes that I
Request when I’m booking tours
So if you like the sound of this brown man
Give it up for the sound man overstand

The real Hip-Hop is
The real Hip-Hop is (fresh)

Give it up for the sound man
Give it up for the sound man
