lyrics

way before hip hop became a goldrush
pioneers were doing the dirty work
in the dust and the darkness of a forgotten history
mining for musical minerals
and those rich viens
that would form into new traditions
they beat deep buried sounds from ore into artifact
until like gemstones
or nuggets of precious material
they dug them out of obscurity and allowed them to shine again
the old to the new
the new to the old
making something
not from nothing
but from what we'd forgotten...
what was lost
they did that
they did that and it started a movement that can't stop
won't stop
from deep below grass roots
cats unearthed treasure that no one was even searching for
nobody ascribed value to
in any sense
the original pioneers made that happen
it's still happening
and that's what gives this whole thing life....
