Verse 1: (Offbeat)<\/p>\n
One thing about music is it can\u2019t be pigeon-holed
\nWhether it\u2019s brand new or old
\nThere\u2019s more than one era that\u2019s gold
\nAnd we\u2019re combining em
\n2 genres decades apart but we\u2019re uniting \u2018em
\nThen we mix \u2018em together to make something better
\nEven Dead Prez ain\u2019t denying it
\nBut I didn\u2019t wanna do this all on my own
\nSo assembled a team of likeminded friends
\nThe finest musical minds I could find
\nWho have proved it time and time again
\nWe\u2019re all established artists in our own right
\nBut aligned we\u2019re multiplied by 10
\nSo for now I\u2019m gonna say ‘bye bye’
\nTo the Solo life like Kylo Ren
\nYeah – We got the scene on lock
\nKings of this thing like BB was
\nIn a speakeasy doing cheeky shots
\nTil we go blinder than the Peeky mob
\nEverything that you might need we\u2019ve got
\nA guy called Pye with the sweet beatbox
\nBut he\u2019s not the type that you want to bite
\nLike the ones on Fleet Street from Sweeney Todd
\nSo If you want the sickest spitters, record-spinning, singing Swingers then we\u2019ll be the
\nBringers of enjoyment
\nBut then if you\u2019re bitter, twisted critic, sitting, dissing wishing we were quitting quicker
\nThen you will be disappointed!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re bigger than HIP – HOP – HIP – HOP – HIP HOP – HIP (Why? Coz this right here is)
\nSWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING HOP (Uh\u2026)<\/p>\n
Verse 2: (Pye)<\/p>\n
We love Biggie Smalls, we love Duke Ellington we love it all
\nFrom jump up Hip Hop to Lindy Hop in the old town hall
\nIf you can hear us we been telling em to please recall
\nTwo golden eras here together and they’re standing tall
\nThe kick drum thumps \/ The tension mounts
\nThe speaker pumps \/ And we’re ready to pounce
\nIf your hips gonna bump \/ Then that’s what counts
\nBut if you’re ready to jump \/ Then we’re ready to bounce
\nGet out your seat \/ Check for the show
\nIf you got feet \/ Then you know where to go
\nStep to the beat \/ \u2014 Listen to the flow
\nWe’ll rip off the roof like a full proof pro
\nIn the real world (world, world…)
\nI keep a 9 to 5
\nDaydream of leaving it behind
\nTo speak to people on stage live
\nBut in the real world (world, world…)
\nThe truth is I\u2019m a normal guy
\nBut I will prove I got the drive
\nTo see it through and see it fly
\nSo if you like tight spitting \/ and that heavy weight bass
\nWith a beatbox rhythm \/ Then you’re in the right place
\nThe harmony’s pure when Shar’s on the case
\nBut if you want more \/ We can pick up the pace
\nI only got a minute so I’ll hit it then I’ll quit
\nAnd there’s a lot for me to fit in so I’d better spit it quick
\n– This isn’t a gimmick or a rip off of a hit
\nCoz it\u2019s bigger than the sum of what we put into the mix…<\/p>\n
…. WE’RE BIGGER THAN!<\/p>\n
HIP – HOP – HIP – HOP – HIP HOP – HIP (Why? Coz this right here is)
\nSWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING (It\u2019s bigger than\u2026)<\/p>\n
HIP – HOP – HIP – HOP – HIP HOP – HIP (Why? You\u2019re listening to)
\nSWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING HOP – SWING HOP<\/p>\n
Outro: (Sharleena Ray)<\/p>\n
Offbeat always plays to win – he\u2019ll make you jump up from the way he spits
\nPie Man always plays to win – he\u2019ll make you jump up getting stages lit
\nAwesome Wells always plays to win – he\u2019ll make you jump up rotating hits
\nThe Swinghoppers always play to win – we\u2019ll make you jump up getting stages lit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
