The Concept

Out in the West
In the West is a tribe
Funk forms the flow
Gotta funk to our jive
Funky is the struggle
Victory, Defeat
Us, together as we funk to the beat
Within the sequence
Therein lies the dream
Positivity is how we kick it in the mean
Time after time as the woofa goes crazy
Formulate the funk
Break it down for me baby
Who are the outsiders
Who is on the team
We are the sound waves lower frequencies
You are the energy we use when we jive
That is the truth that we speak when we rhyme
This is a journey is a journey into sound
That is the reason we continue to confound
Music is the key, element that unlocks
Creativity for the youth around the block
Back back again
Back and forth
Back to show
Back for culture
Back for the growth
Back for the b boys and girls and the bass
Back for the deejay
Back for the paint
Vinyl is a habitat
Lucious is the crop
Sampling the roots
How we getting what we got
We rock the rhythm anywhere funk flows
All the way from Uptown
Down to ya Barrio

Check it out ya'll
Check it out
Check to out ya'll
Check it out
Check it out ya'll
Check it out
Check it out ya'll
Check it out

Yes yes you knew
What you thought is true
Industry and media
Brainwash the youth
Commercial material
Ways that we see through
We set it straight to the beat as we seek to
Enhance vision everybody stop the violence
Stand up
Speak for each other through times with
Respect
Don't fret, another path
Might find ya own but you gotta Hold Fast
We freak the beat like the sweat drips in Oakland
Navigate style through Gates that are Golden
Ink is written, permanent in concrete
Records that are spinning
Messages received
Paint that is fresh and is dripping to the floor
Drum machines thumping
You wanna boogie more
Jazz is the question
Answer and soul
Funk the ingredient
Keeps it in control
In conclusion
Here's what we found
Placement of poetry produced underground
We serve the people
Dreamers and youth
We, the outsiders representing truth
Each and every
Single word counts
We, a wildfire spreading word of mouth
To heat up and transform and uplift no doubt
That is the concept, baby check it out

Check it out ya'll
Check it out
Check it out ya'll
Check it out
Check it out ya'll
Check it out
Check it out ya'll
Check it out
