“Keepin’ It Live” by People Under The Stairs 

Or—or, we can’t spend enough time, ya know what I’m saying?

Just like you, maan, Big Thes man, 

I done spent all my life tryna do this hip-hop shit

Think it was like 95-96, when I…

Perfected my track skills on the SP

Murdered 10 seconds in a minute, peers couldn’t get it

Mike was walking on water, my brother you shoulda seen it

Got ate up in some rap battles, I’m here to redeem it

Like a rain check hustler, scoping the aisles

Chocking lyrics making beats just to keep it on file

With the ADAT Zip on the floppy I’m never coming sloppy

No reason to copy niggas, I’m dope so go figure

Not conceided nigga, I’m confident when I’m dropping it

Hold the microphone firm, let the lyrics burn

Like the buddha to the sherm

I’m mellow with one word, two, let it cage, 

Bringing better days when I bust

Stay grounded with my head in the clouds and thats a must

Ya know, just a piece in my hip-hop black book

Outlining the track y’all watch for the hook

Filling in my ideas, here to keep your style shook

Never rapping like niggas just to be in the game

I’m coming from the inside so y’all remember my name

Yo, it’s the K Dub, trouble bringing, the notorious one

Couldn’t be stopped, keeping these sucka crews on the run, ya dig it?

No matter what y’all say, do or know, it’s me and Thes One maintaining the… uhh…

Ya know how it goes, man… it’s me and Thes One, like always, it’s two of us… 

Keepin’ it live… keepin’ it fresh… I dunno man…

Sometimes I just feel like we can’t take it no more

like we just gonna bust back ya know battle rapping, backpacking

Yeah… yeah… we backrapping… 

Backrapping and slapping all you fools in the face

You just a… you just a… 

Just a disgrace to the… to the.. to the.. yeah

I like how it sounds right there, man… 

It’s real, real mellow, real jazzy like, ya dig

Oww… word up… oww… word up… ow… word up… 

Thes One and uh, the Double, get live and my man the…

Get live, and we in the house… yeah… he’s with The Double.. 

Y-ye-yeah, he in the house and… we all in the house and…

Suckas...
