Ground Zero
Byron "Mr. Talkbox" Chambers Lyrics

So, let me tell you a story about a simple man
Introducing the topic of the song with a story about a person

I used to think I was bigger than Superman
Used to have overconfidence

I went around the world without you in my life
Travelled the world alone

But without you my world's like kryptonite
Without the person, life falls apart

Oh! When I'm at the red light
Specifically mentions the time at which they need this person

You give me X-Ray Vision, Super sight!
The person gives them clarity and vision

Hey everybody, can you hear the sound?
Addressing the audience to listen to the music

You got me feeling so good
The music makes them feel good

And the time is now!
Urging to enjoy the current moment

We at, Ground Zero
Referring to the place where the music is being played

He's the Hip Hop Hero!
The musician is a hero of hip-hop music

He's the one that makes us fabulous
The musician makes the music great

Cause without you, it's so dangerous!
Life without the person, the music and the musician is dangerous

It's an emergency
Emphasizing the severity of the situation

Cause I can't life my life without you
The person is very important to them

You can hear us for miles
The music's loudness can reach far distances

You can feel us for days
The impact of music can last for a long time

If your soul is in need of a
If someone's soul needs

Hip Hop Praise
Then they should turn to this type of music

Bringing the message
The musician is conveying a message with their music

At the speed of sound
The music is fast and powerful

So, Mr. Talkbox, lift us off the ground!
The singer is asking the musician to inspire them and elevate their spirits

[Look], Now we got the green light
Now there's a signal to move forward

[We got] El shaddai coming through tonight!
El shaddai is a reference to God, indicating something good is coming tonight

So lift your hands high all around the town
Encouraging the audience to raise their hands and feel the music

We're gonna leap this track in a single bound!
The music will propel them forward as if they're leaping over an obstacle

He's The One Creator
God is the creator

There's no one greater
God is the most powerful

Gonna lift you up
God will elevate you

[Jump on the elevator]
Symbolically using an elevator to indicate being elevated by God

To everyone, in every town
The message is for everyone, everywhere

This is how we rock
This is how we enjoy the music

We gonna break it down!
The music will bring down any barriers or obstacles

We go, hey, we at, ground zero!
Celebrating the music and location again

Hey, he's the hip hop hero!
Praising the musician again as a hero of hip-hop music

Hip hop Hero!
Emphasizing again the musician's importance to hip-hop music and the people listening to it

'Cause I can't life my life without you!
Reiterating the importance of the person to the singer's life and the music they create
