lyrics

III. Ain’t No Half Steppin’
Stay awake we ain’t slept in - we mean ain’t no half steppin’
Never not dungeon reppin’ – that’s why ain’t no half steppin’

(If you don’t want to go to Minneapolis, what are you doing on the train?)

No Sunlite ain’t fly by night but we might come rock the mic
& throw it down when we’re done when the sea meets the sun
Are you really out of breath or just lungtied?
Cos if you can’t rock a party (that’s a half step!)
You need weed to get naughty (that’s a half step!)
& if yer fake ego flaunting (that’s a half step!)
& when yer staring at her body (that’s a half step!)
Cos we don’t do this dip just for kicks or snare’s ‘n’ hi-hats
The mix is half the fix ‘n’ that’s the easy half
& if that’s it then we’ll quit
Lo-fi isn’t a style – that’s how we live it
Pivot foot lowered down to swing around
Ya’ll wonder is Hell really underground? (Huh!?)
Think about it ‘n’ contemplate before yer asking
Compose yr lyrics to mean something more than just rapping
Cos if it doesn’t educate (that’s a half step!)
You think yr instrumentals sound great (that’s a half step!)
Pay attention during class (you little half stepper!)
Cos unless you question what yer asked (yer just a half stepper!)

A lot of suckers be coming half stepping (half step!)
Badly in need of a rap attack lesson
Sadly they feed on some crap that’s regressing
Club beats no skills don’t earn my art blessing

Fake on Math ‘n’ SiD (that’s a half step!)
When ya’ll listen just for beats (that’s a half step!)
When it’s Friday eating meat (that’s a half step!)
& when you complain that you need sleep (that’s a half step!)

Stay awake…Ain’t no half steppin’
(…their car or their computer or their contraceptive)

(Better believe MC SiD!)
Cram a jam into an mp3
See me scram like a lamb from the poor quality
No space to breathe I start to seethe
iPod weak stream - you better believe
MC SiD decrees: digital steeze? Make it wav please
Better yet, wreck yr set: go wax!
NSFTM rapping groovy grooved tracks

(Who’s going to rap? It’s going to be Math!)
Half step MC’s throw clocks in a dumpster
Waste my time stuck in bumper to bumper traffic
Claim they’re macking but retracting on life
Gave them a collectible Jordan coin ‘n’ they couldn’t flip a mike
When I rock up from that height I rock No Sunlite

When yr beats are static free (that’s a half step!)
When yer sampling CD’s (that’s a half step!)
When yer a cop (that’s a half step!)
& when you listen to hip hop (that’s a half step!)
Cos listening ain’t contributing if you do that it’s equivalent
To dismissing an entire format you’ve got to get back
This isn’t rap this is music ‘n’ a statement
The vapors replaced with real humans base touch all the bases
Sipping cocktails at happy hour (that’s a half step!)
Molotov cocktail bridal shower now that’s that real math
I’ll have another round ‘n’ round we go
Play this track loud when you pass the po-po sing it now

Stay awake…(everybody now!)
(& as you know we live in a culture that thinks that contraception is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. If you were to ask people if they wanted to give up their car or their computer or their contraceptive…it’d be a hard choice to make. It’s truly considered to be something that’s really put us greatly into the modern age and again one of the greatest advances in modern medicine and modern times…If you don’t want to go to Minneapolis, what are you doing on the train?)
