(Chorus) Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them Right here right now
It's up to him to mix me in with my vocal blend from start to end No party crashin me and my fellow mc's we keep it smashin Enter the place and watch the crowd start reactin With the all shoot back up back up Mr. Sound Man turn my track up track up Even though I might be the act to open up Show me love dear friend please don't jack me up
(Chorus)
Sound man I trust you It's a must to hop on your toys and raise the noise up To a volume that makes the people want to swoon free Up the music to consume the room Cuz when it comes down to it All that we've got is MC's and DJ's And whether or not the man on the boards can afford to feel friendly To every mc never make the sound man your enemy
(Chorus)
Big headed mc's and uptight bands all over the land They're ticking off the sound man Ego's on ten but in the same trend You've got sound folk who provoke and do it to them Not to mention the security guard who tries hard to be hard And takes his job a little too far And I understand your need for attitude But I don't see why we need to spare the gratitude So I'll be the first to say job well done Thank you sound man you're second to none
I also speak on behalf of the DJ And on that note I feel we've earned the right to say
