Soundman

[Intro]
Wooo
It's 1996, I mean, I mean 2002

[Chorus]
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them

Right here right now

[Verse 1]
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 oh shoot okay 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Right here, right now, turn me on up so I can show 'em like how
Right here, right now, turn me on up so I can show 'em like how

[Verse 2]
Sound man I trust you
It's a must you 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Right here, right now, turn me on up so I can show 'em like how
Right here, right now, turn me on up so I can show 'em like how

[Chorus]
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Right here right now
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man

[Outro]
Let me say something
You know, uh, some of you are probably are asking what this is all about.And, I'm gonna be honest I'm not quite sure (he's not quite sure). I just know it's not about you, it's not about me, it's not about him. It's not even about the sound man. Just don't take life to serious. If you feel me sing along

[Chorus]
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them
