(Intro)
Hey, hey, man, can you, like, just, like change the effect, on the beat, like, ya know, yeah, yeah, there you go, uh, yeah

(Verse 1)
All I need is one mic, and two vocal cords, to go and expose my feelings like open sores, but the music is cathartic, so it helps to heal the pain, and reveal my brain's thoughts to all, when I feel insane, get it off my chest and share it with the globe, either that or carry it and keep it buried in my soul, my outlet of choice is the sound of my voice over beats that are poundin', get my frown to rejoice, this was born in the Bronx, adopted by the masses, formed on a block from chopped records and scratches, now I give my heart to this art like organ donors, stand on legacies of those passed like I'm on their corpses' shoulders, who said dancin' on a grave was disrespectful, I'll do it as a tribute, pop and lock on top o' headstones, no matter who dies, their spirit's always alive, so I R.I.P. the mic each time I rhyme

(Chorus)
Everybody all around the Earth, sing along to the song and just shout the words, and do it loud 'til your lungs collapse, dance 'til your spine gives out and ya hunch your back, when the beat comes on it's time to have fun, so make no mistake, I want everyone, to come unite and ignite the party, this song's for everybody

(Verse 2)
Yeah, ignite it like a matchstick, nicer than a cashed check, in your head it stays imbedded like it was a mattress, people come together like the first song on Abbey Road, and that alone speaks volumes like a catalogue, the power of love is greater than the round in a gun and more encompassing than the mushroom cloud from a scud, if we can taste blood, we can feel compassion, it's the twenty-first century, time for some action, 'cause we've come a long way from Neanderthals, risin' up, and standin' tall, rubbed together two sticks and started a flame that today still burns in the heart of the game, it's about progress and how it's evolved us, how that same flame shed some light on the darkness, bridges, extendin' over the ridges of difference, able to bring us together to lessen the distance

(Chorus)
Everybody all around the Earth, sing along to the song and just shout the words, and do it loud 'til your lungs collapse, dance 'til your spine gives out and ya hunch your back, when the beat comes on it's time to have fun, so make no mistake, I want everyone, to come unite and ignite the party, this song's for everybody

(Verse 3)
Hip hop is the language of the streets and the suburbs now, everybody wonders how, 'cause it's multicultural, it took a long time for that to be a true statement, but when it brought us together it led to different views changin', African and Caucasian, Middle Eastern and Asian, Indian, Latino, all people embrace it, breakin' down walls one at a time, so bring the chorus back, yeah, just come on and rhyme, sayin'

(Chorus)
Everybody all around the Earth, sing along to the song and just shout the words, and do it loud 'til your lungs collapse, dance 'til your spine gives out and ya hunch your back, when the beat comes on it's time to have fun, so make no mistake, I want everyone, to come unite and ignite the party, this song's for everybody

(Interlude)
Once more, come on

(Chorus)
Everybody all around the Earth, sing along to the song and just shout the words, and do it loud 'til your lungs collapse, dance 'til your spine gives out and ya hunch your back, when the beat comes on it's time to have fun, so make no mistake, I want everyone, to come unite and ignite the party, this song's for everybody

(Outro)
Got it
