Lyrics
Blummer - FOLLOW THE FLOW
(chorus)
yo, just follow the flow
or take it down to the floor
ride a beat, make a rhythm
see the crowd ask for more
clutching a mic so tight in my grip
the static you hear's from the spit on my lip
yo, just follow the flow
or break it down to the floor
bust a move, roll a rhyme
see the crowd ask for more
clutching a mic so tight in my grip
the static you hear's from the spit on my lip
yeah, started out with the bboy beats and ish
first time i heard a record scratch i was like "what's that swish?"
but soon i got it, learned the four elements
and started droppin' bombs, making impacts like elephants
breakin', rappin', scratchin' and graffiti
my earth, wind, water, fire, yo, i'm keepin' it seedy
representin' the culture, the movement, the magic
whippin' out tricky stuff like Inspector Gadget
started out with pop rap, i will confess
but then time travelled back to check out the best
PBNJ for lunch--Pac, Big, Nas, and Jay
then went overseas, Drunken Tiger joined the fray
hella lotta rhymes, had a lotta good times
gained a verbal arsenal big as a buncha gold mines
meanwhile, folks were keystyling back in 8th grade
didn't do it much, didn't think i'd make the grade
but it was kinda funny to see the e-thugs fight
when every other line ended with "your mom" and "last night"
i didn't take the spotlight, but kept it quiet
waited for my own time to shine and start a riot
year or two passed, messed with beats
wrote a few stanzas, nothin' too complete
but when i wrote my rhymes, it was like "wo ai ni"
'cause the feeling i was feeling was like dopamine
(chorus)
around the time of good old junior year
a bangin' idea with Hiren, my Indian peer
Nerds While AZN, you know them, uno and two
and tres, better than that dude Tai Mai Shu
a perfect venue to see what could be done with rap
opportunity was waiting, i jumped into its lap
and soon we took off, moving fast like a tour
Jun, me, Jeff, the Asian dogs of war
kamikaze style, diving right into a beat
like suicide missions, generating nothin' but heat
Cheatin', Your Life, then took 'em to church
then came Warrior, peeps said they were feelin' my verse
and it was funny, 'cause i'm not good at science
but my chemistry with the mic, it's more than a science
the rest is history, like that album by Jin
look how far we've come, inspiring our kin
but still some cats like to talk mad grimey
down and dirty, actin' real shady and slimy
like "yo Blum, you be rappin' over J-Pop beats"
yea, i do that sometimes, but i keep the lyricism complete
a platinum tongue like Dabo when i rap
which ensures that everything is certified crack
but at the end of the day, whether friend or foe
my only real advice is to just follow the flow
(chorus)
