(Check the formula) (Yeah,
uh-huh, turn
the
monitors up)
Stepping through the borough with the heavy-weight cadence Polished on the corner
where the pavement meets patience Pen on the ledger,
every syllable precise Rolling low frequencies,
paying up the price Got the bassline sliding while the snare cracks
neat Concrete architecture mapped out on the beat
Keep the balance steady when we navigate the zone Clear tone,
mic check, holding down the throne
Check the formula, lock it in the grid Doing what the classic
golden era standard did (Check it!) Rolling on the groove with the
funk in the vein Crisp drum snap running through the city lane
Check the formula, never let it slide (Yeah)
Pure rhythm walking with an
effortless stride
Dialed into focus, no distortion on the line Watching how the frequencies
align and intertwine Sub-bass humming like the crosstown train Clean mix riding
through the autumn rain
Kick knocks direct, right inside the chest Never need to boast when
the cadence does the rest Turn the dial up,
let the speakers tell the truth Proof of the craft rooted deep
inside the booth
(Uh,
you know how we do)
Check the formula, lock it in the grid Doing what the classic
golden era standard did (Check it!) Rolling on the groove with the
funk in the vein Crisp drum snap running through the city lane
Check the formula, never let it slide (Come on!)
Pure rhythm walking with an
effortless stride
From the brownstone stoop to the avenue sweep We keep the blueprint
heavy, making promises we keep Layer up the groove,
let the hi-hat chatter Cut through the noise when the real things
matter
Fingers on the fader,
riding out the swell Every rhythmic chapter got a story left to
tell Solid state warmth with an East Coast heart
Master of the craft,
execution of the art
(Just like that)
Strip the arrangement back to the floor
Nothing in the way but the kick and the core (Uh)
Feel the pocket settle,
let the rhythm breathe
Nothing up the sleeve,
just the weave of the beat
Check the formula, lock it in the grid Doing what the classic
golden era standard did (Check it out now!) Rolling on the groove
with the funk in the vein Crisp drum snap running through the
city lane
Check the formula, never let it slide (Never slide!) Pure rhythm walking
with an
effortless stride
Check the formula...
(Yeah,
East Coast groove)
Keep it rolling out
(Check it, check it) (Peace)
