Swing Hop (Bigger Than)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Offbeat, Sharleena Ray & Pye] One thing about music is it can't be pigeon-holed Whether it's brand new or it's old There's more than era that's gold And we're combining 'em Two genres decades apart, but we're uniting them And we mix 'em together, to make something better Even Dead Prez ain't denying it But I didn't want to do this all on my own So I assembled a team of like-minded friends The finest musical minds I can find Who have proved it time and time again We're all established artists in our own right But aligned, we're multiplied by 10 So for now I'm gonna say (bye, bye) To the solo life, like Hylo Ren Yeah, we've got the scene on lock Kings of this thing like BB was In a speakeasy doing cheeky shots Til' we go blinder than the Peeky mob Everything that you might need, we've got A guy called Pye with a sweet beatbox But he's not the type that you want to bite Like the ones on Fleet Street from Sweeney Todd So if you want the sickest spitters Record-spinning Singing swingers They we'll be the bringers of enjoyment But then, if you're a bitter, twisted Critic, sitting Dissing, wishing we were quitting Quicker, than you will be disappointed [Chorus] We're bigger than Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop (why?) 'Cause this right here is Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop [Verse 2: Offbeat, Sharleena Ray & Pye] We love Biggie Smalls, we love Duke Ellington, we love it all From jump up Hip-Hop to Lindy Hop in the old town hall If you can hear us, we been telling 'em to please recall Two golden eras here together, and they're standing tall The kick drum thumps, the tension mounts The speaker pumps, and we're ready to pounce If your hips gonna bump, then that's what counts But if you're ready to jump, then we're ready to bounce Get out your seat, check for the show If you got feet, then you know where to go Step to the beat, listen to the flow We'll rip off the roof like a full proof pro In the real world (world, world) I keep a 9 to 5 Daydream of leaving it behind To speak to people on stage live But in the real world (world, world) The truth is, I'm a normal guy But I will prove I got the drive To see it through and see it fly So if you like tight spitting, and that heavy weight bass With a beatbox rhythm, then you're in the right place The harmony's pure when Shar's on the case But if you want more, we can pick up the pace I only got a minute, so I'll hit it then I'll quit And there's a lot for me to fit in, so I'd better spit it quick This isn't a gimmick or a rip off of a hit 'Cause it's bigger than the sum of what we put into the mix [Chorus] We're bigger than Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop (why?) 'Cause this right here is Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop It's bigger than Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop (why?) You're listening to Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop, Swing-Hop [Outro: Offbeat & Sharleena Ray] Offbeat always plays to win He'll make you jump up from the way he spits (1, 2, 1, 2) Pie Man always plays to win He'll make you jump up, getting stages lit (Y'all, what'cha wanna do) Awesome Wells always plays to win He'll make you jump up, rotating hits (1, 2, 1, 2) The Swinghoppers always play to win We'll make you jump up, getting stages lit
