Yeah
I'm tracing lines across the pavement where the records spin
Before the break of day is where the rhymes begin
We keep it moving,
heavy drum and steady flow
No shortcuts taken on the road we choose to go
This
is the rhythm of the brick and stone (that's right)
We build our empires on a microphone
No
matter where you run,
we stand alone (uh-huh)
Yeah,
we claim the throne
We lay the foundation,
brick by heavy brick
While the clock on the wall goes tick-tick-tick
No time to waste,
we paint the canvas gray and gold
Just stories of the block that never have been told
This is the rhythm of the brick and stone (that's
right)
We build our empires on a microphone
No matter where you run,
we stand alone (uh-huh) Yeah,
we claim the throne
Yeah,
MC on the mic
Always keeping it moving
