[Verse 1]
Boom, that’s the sound you hear as soon as you step into the room
When I’m working on some tunes kicking up a deliberate dust storm
I must warn you, don’t challenge me at rapping because I was born to…
Be bad to the bone when I’m rapping alone, this man is grown, goddamn, it’s on
I had to hone my skills and build before I grabbed the microphone
Now that I did, I’m getting rid of all the inhibitions that I had as just a kid
Now I just rip the competition, uh
Now they’re going down, what’s that sound?
Could it be? Yeah, it’s me
Back with yet another solo cinematic symphony
Simply we can do no wrong by this standard with lyrics that actually matter
Different from your average banter
Matter of fact, these patterns laced up in the lab will batter ‘em
Beat you, leaving you tattered like an anti-rights banner

[Chorus]
Saying ‘where do we go from here?’
That’s a common saying
After the smoke has cleared
There’s another one
Now where do we go from here?
That’s a common saying
After the smoke has cleared

[Verse 2]
Now when you see the name on the flier
You need to aim to retire
‘cause when you put us on first, it’s just worse for the headliner
And if you’re signed, don’t be surprised if you get fired
Because after me your rap CD will probably have less buyers
I’m making bets tired for running circles around these half-ass rap cats who can’t last
That’s fat chance
I’m advanced, too far past those smart ass remarks
Like an honorable scholar holding classes after dark
I have some heart, and I put that into each and every one of my tracks
I can’t relax or even hold back
That’s just the way I rap, reflect attack
And no, I will not settle for no scraps
I’ll be putting work in ’til even my idols give me daps like that
Yeah, homie, you know we ain’t playing
A motivational speech with each word that I’m saying
To reap pure mayhem I keep surveying this great land
Shaking hands, making sure the music stays in demand
I take a stand with a zero tolerance policy towards faking
Keep it moving, keep it tuned in to the feature presentation
[Chorus]
Saying ‘where do we go from here?’
That’s a common saying
Why don’t we drink some beer?
There’s another one
Now where do we go from here?
That’s a common saying
Why don’t we drink some beer?
Alright, let’s fucking do it

[Verse 3]
Give me that twelver, give me that six pack
Yo, let me sip that
Yo, let me get that
Yo, let me hit that
Hey, can I raise that? Man, that is enough
I’m calling out your bluff
If you don’t like it then tough
It’s not my fault you’re down and out
Shit, man, I know it’s rough out here in Southern California
Unemployment rates have doubled
Everybody’s looking for a job and all they find are more troubles
More struggles in store
One thing is for sure
That our movement has become too big to ignore
[Chorus]
Now where do we go from here?
That’s a common saying
Now that the time is near
There’s another one
Now where do we go from here?
That’s a common saying
Now that the time is near…

[Verse 4]
For us to break those stereotypical trends of what you call a rapper
Doesn’t matter if the image isn’t sparkled in diamonds, hustling and shining
It seems that’s all they wanna hear
Another come-up story of a rapper who was nothing, now he’s built Ford tough
For shooting videos and posing in magazines
That’s just not me, I hate to shatter your dreams
But it’s time to ask yourself, is the music really that tight?
Or do you only play it ‘cause you wanna live that life?
