And rock the masses
From Madrid to Calabasas

'Cause I'll be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth
Well respected, 'cause that's my word
And I'm sure you heard
(Heard)
'Bout a new sound goin' 'round
She might have left my hood
But she was born in my town
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
(Well it's alright, it's alright)
I know you know, I see you smilin' at me
(Well it's alright, it's alright)

So what you talkin' 'bout?
I'm not runnin' off my mouth
I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets
Then these streets know you
An' when it's time to handle business
Then you know what to do
(What to do)
Me and my crew
We stay true, old skool or new
Many were called
But the chosen are few
(We are few)
We rise to the top
What you want, just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic
Show me what you got?
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
(Well it's alright, it's alright)
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
(Well it's alright, it's alright)
