[00:16.37](DJ Peril:)
[00:23.76]Nfamous -step, step, step, step, step, step, step up!
[00:26.91](Verse 1: Nfamous)
[00:27.33]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
[00:41.55]Ventolin, couldn't help them catch their breath
[00:43.59]I got bored waiting for them so I soared ahead
[00:46.14]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
[00:53.82]The cause and the effects we get from
[00:55.62]Fatter beats, fatter rips, fatter matter of subject
[00:58.08]To free your mind state, man there's nothing above that
[01:00.39]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
[01:06.72]Coast to coast, it's got to grow steady so I'm ready
[01:09.12]To boast the most or get spiritual hope
[01:11.07]Cause hip-hop's a mind state, not an area code
[01:14.88](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[01:22.59]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[01:24.93]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[01:27.18]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
[01:29.82]1200 put the boogie in your body bag
[01:31.44](Verse 2: Nfamous)
[01:31.86]Lyrics are my language, my ink stains canvas
[01:34.35]I study syntax in my world map atlas
[01:36.96]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
[01:55.08]Meeting new peeps that we never met before
[01:57.30]Crowds that once stared now cheer for more
[01:59.28]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
[02:10.02](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[02:17.73]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[02:20.07]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[02:22.29]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
[02:24.78]1200 put the boogie in your body bag
[02:26.55](Verse 3: Nfamous)
[02:26.97]Hey all around the world there are people like me
[02:29.25]Loving hip-hop renegades and sanity
[02:31.53]From Aotearoa to Iceland to Ecuador
[02:33.90]Aboriginal, Japanese, German, French, what's more?
[02:36.30]Nations at a battle, separated by a war
[02:38.46]Their kids connect over friendly battles on the floor
[02:40.89]No money to go out when staying indoors
[02:43.05]Trynna build a fat beat like you've never heard before
[02:45.60]Constructing rhymes to bust the mind, oh!
[02:47.79]In destructive times we're got to find goals
[02:50.13]1200 Techniques started with nothing at all
[02:52.29]Now we're onto LP number 2, on tour
[02:54.75]The evidence is when the youth of New York
[02:56.67]Created different elements and they travelled abroad
[02:59.10]All the way to Aus, touching our souls, it shows
[03:01.77]Hip-hop's a mind state not an area code
[03:05.13](Chorus x2: Nfamous &DJ Peril)
[03:12.84]From the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
[03:15.24]Come on everybody, go off, a go off
[03:17.34]I said it's not where you're from, it's where you're at
