Kick It To the Beat
[Intro: J-Live]
Let’s see what I can do about ol’…
Oh snap! Yo who that? Yeah, that’ll work right there
She got a raspy voice too, word?
I bet everybody try to push up on that
One.
It’s alright though

[Hook: J-Live]
It goes one for the treble and two for the bass
It was love at first sound when I walked in the place
I’m saying one for the trouble and two for the time
I’m a kick it to the beat ’cause she sure is fine

[Verse 1: Probe.dms]
I kick it to your snare, whisper in her ear, make it sound
Crisper wit a twist of air, smack her on the rear then make her
Disappear off the track, and have a love affair with the
Hi-hat then bring them right back so yo, if you
Pound my heart with a hammer, it would probably sound like
And leave a mad smoky cloud of boom see
I’m not the type of emcee to play a beat out
Take a drum loop or shake it and break the hell out
Well that’s not the way I get down. I’m loving your sound
You’re running through my mind like the board playing them chords
On the Rhodes. I met you in Rouge. I had you on hold
And now I can’t afford to play so you ready to J?
I know our love will pass the threshold, and never decay
Don’t ever give a dub away on any formats of data
Microcassettes, 8-tracks, DATs, or BETA
You’re too fresh. God bless the creator that made ya. One
[Hook]
It goes one for the treble and two for the bass
It was love at first sound when I walked in the place
I’m saying one for the trouble and two for the time
I’m a kick it to the beat ’cause she sure is fine

[Verse 2: Asheru]
Hey boo, how you? My name is Asheru
I’m glad that we can finally link up and do the One Two
I know, brothers be hawking, running game and double talking
You to death, until there’s very little left
So let me not half-step and tell you off the top
Why you can uhh uhh get it get it, and don’t stop
I love your voice. It’s like music to my ears
Love the way that you feel, enough to bring a man to tears
I love your body, your booty banging like BOOM
Love to see you at parties the way you captivate the room
When we first met, I had to do a double take
Got caught up in the moment with no plan to escape
Now I’m getting it together so what do you say
To me and you parlaying that old-fashioned way
So when we step out of the party, I’ll take your hand
And me and you can go travelling across the land
It’s like you floating on air, above beyond and abroad
Love the way you hold me when you I throw you up on the board
So when we step out of the lab girl I take your hand
And me and you can go travelling across the land
[Hook] x2
It goes one for the treble and two for the bass
It was love at first sound when I walked in the place
I’m saying one for the trouble and two for the time
I’m a kick it to the beat ’cause she sure is fine

[Verse 3: J-Live]
Peace queen, don’t stop for me, let me walk with you
Just to talk with you, open up your mind, let me paint a picture
You and me sipping on a freshly squeezed flow in a
Soundproof chateau, letting royalties grow
No disrespect, but you got a whole lot of bottom
And I’m curious as to how we sound in the mix (No tricks)
See I ain't looking for no one-hit-wonder
But I think you ought to know what I do for kicks
If we could get the first third to work then we could flirt
’Til you’re slipping out your tight fit Pro Tools skirt
I want to lay you down with nothing but your two inch reels on
To make a strong song that’ll last REAL long
We could pan from side to side, no automation
Let my fingers do the walking through your knobs and faders
So what’s up? We could meet for drinks at Bar 16
I could drop you off now and pick you up later
If you don’t know who I am, I’m a friend of your fam
I know your mom a SP, your pop’s a soul brother
So chill with the echo ’cause there won’t be no delaying
If you still don’t believe me you can ask your uncle lover
So can I get a hug goodbye? You smell fly like a
Rose. That must be Electric P by Rhodes
Better yet don’t say goodbye. Say until tonight
I can’t wait to give you play in my humble abode. It goes…
[Hook] x2
It goes one for the treble and two for the bass
It was love at first sound when I walked in the place
I’m saying one for the trouble and two for the time
I’m a kick it to the beat ’cause she sure is fine
