[00:13.83](DJ Peril:)
[00:15.99]Nfamous -step, step, step, step, step, step, step up!
[00:26.67](Verse 1: Nfamous)
[00:27.18]Caught between a rock and a hard place
[00:29.28]Nfamous, rock the mike and fill up the bar space
[00:31.44]A car chase couldn't match the adrenaline, that we're sending them
[00:34.59]And haters who talk sh*t, me not befriending them
[00:36.87]Me not defending them, too busy ascending them
[00:39.27]They lacks in like albinos lack melanin
[00:41.58]Ventolin, couldn't help them catch their breath
[00:43.59]I got bored waiting for them so I soared ahead
[00:46.05]Now each tread is made, on pavement we laid
[00:48.39]To reach the next stage, the pavement is grey
[00:50.64]But hey!We're not in it for the checks
[00:52.38]We do it for the love, respect
[00:53.76]The cause and the effects we get from
[00:55.65]Fatter beats, fatter rips, fatter matter of subject
[00:58.14]To free your mind state, man there's nothing above that
[01:00.36]Now wind the clock back, when it came to urban music, radio and then rock that
[01:03.87]But now they're playing local hip-hop acts, it's even on the tellie
[01:06.69]Coast to coast, it's got to grow steady so I'm ready
[01:09.15]To boast the most or get spiritual hope
[01:11.37]Cause hip-hop's a mind state, not an area code
[01:13.50](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[01:20.37]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[01:22.71]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[01:25.23]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
[01:29.34]1200 put the boogie in your body bag
[01:31.29](Verse 2: Nfamous)
[01:31.80]Lyrics are my language, my ink stains canvas
[01:34.35]I study syntax in my world map atlas
[01:36.99]Looking up foreign cities and towns
[01:38.79]New borders we got to cross to rock these crowds til they're
[01:41.58]Bouncing to the rhythm we delivering
[01:43.59]Announcing it god given like everything
[01:45.87]Blast the pop critics who think we're pretending
[01:47.94]When we give our heart to the art, spill it now he no billing
[01:50.25]Peril: Yeah we gave blood for them!
[01:51.78]Oh yeah, you know it man
[01:52.71]And after the show, we stay around and say hello to them
[01:55.05]Meeting new peeps that we never met before
[01:57.30]Crowds that once stared now cheer for more
[01:59.25]We've been booed at hits, we've been swooned and kissed
[02:01.80]We've copped it all, we're not new to this
[02:03.81]The future is, unknown but we've got to grow
[02:06.45]Cause hip-hop's a mind state, not an area code
[02:13.17](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[02:15.51]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[02:17.82]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[02:21.42]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
[02:24.69]1200 put the boogie in your body bag
[02:25.98](Verse 3: Nfamous)
[02:26.58]Hey all around the world there are people like me
[02:29.22]Loving hip-hop renegades and sanity
[02:31.50]From Aotearoa to Iceland to Ecuador
[02:33.84]Aboriginal, Japanese, German, French, what's more?
[02:36.27]Nations at a battle, separated by a war
[02:38.43]Their kids connect over friendly battles on the floor
[02:40.86]No money to go out when staying indoors
[02:43.02]Trynna build a fat beat like you've never heard before
[02:45.54]Constructing rhymes to bust the mind, oh!
[02:47.76]In destructive times we're got to find goals
[02:50.10]1200 Techniques started with nothing at all
[02:52.23]Now we're onto LP number 2, on tour
[02:54.66]The evidence is when the youth of New York
[02:56.64]Created different elements and they travelled abroad
[02:59.07]All the way to Aus, touching our souls, it shows
[03:01.56]Hip-hop's a mind state not an area code
[03:03.72](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[03:10.59]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[03:12.96]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[03:16.35]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
