Project Blowed

Lyrics

Yo, this goes out to Hip-Hop worldwide Straight from Leimert Park, California, Los Angeles Yo, everybody in the Hip-Hop struggle, in the life Struggle, makin' a name for themselves, makin' history, makin' a change Yeah all the Project Blowedians, all the tape slangers, all the record pushers This goes out to everybody doin' it on they own Living Legends, C.V.E., Hieroglyphics Likwit Crew, Global Phlowtations Project Blowed, what's the code? I been rockin' mics since I was 12 years old I was born in the jungle, the concrete slab Where people take any and everything that they can grab Some niggas chilled on the block, but we chilled in the lab My Project was to Blow you up and break you off a slab People are strange, and people are bad But the gift of gabrier was something beautiful to have It started at The Good Life, house of the first sightin' We snatched raps out of they mouths when they were biting There was nothing more exciting than to serve and perform On Crenshaw and Exposition, God was born He said, "Please pass the mic to whomever is tight" Me and the Fellowship took it and we held it for dear life The Innercity Griots, the wild, the style, the crew The ones they got their styles from, but claimed they never knew Already... yeah The underground source, which everyone eventually feeds from Influence the industry in a roundabout way What up to Dilated Peoples, O.M.D., Pharcyde Jurassic 5, Erule, Hobo Junction What's up Saucey, what's up Tren', Medusa Brothers Manifesto, Hip Hop Kclan Well, the parties jumpin', the Blowed is packed And when a crowd's like this, I'm ready to rap But before I can bust a rhyme on the mic I gotta serve you in a cipher just to earn my stripes The scarred battle dog, with the underground catalogue Fuck it, tryin' to make the world a better place Instead of duckin', still tryin' to make the duckets Make the knowledge rain down in buckets Make a little somethin', and tuck it, just to give it away Build a workshop 'round where I stay Some people got the love, but they don't know the way Some people know the way, but they don't know what to say And I'm the sensei, I greet 'em from far and near Better watch the light in your eyes, a star's in here Leimert Park's very own Aceyalone The one who made the whole world come off the dome Up at the Blowed What's the code?

Rap, rap, rappin', rhyme, rhyme, rhyme Leimert Park and 43th turn into a landmine B-boy's tryin' to flow they rhymes And b-girls lookin' oh so fine My man Bad Drew gots the fresh designs And Cheatham got the sound set bangin' from behind 5 thousand boomin' watts, KAOS Network state of the art Audio-video, filming and editing, Capoeira and meditations Computers and telebeams, at the workshop every Thrusday night Where we give the new definition to open mic I hope y'all don't mistake glitter for gold While we doin' it, and puttin' it down at the Project Blowed What's the code?
