The Eponym
Chill Bump Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hip-Hop hit my heart and I started to feel the vibe.
I'd listen to Nas spit rhymes too damn correct.
I can't forget my doggystyle and my wu-tang cassette.
See, I was only ten, holding a pen,
hoping to find schemes, writing over and over again.
At 13, I had a crew, we'd flow and hang out,
and that's how I started rapping with the homie Bankal.
He switched to turn-tablism, I perfected my rhyme.
A decade later, we met again and said what up?
We gotta get together and tear the stage the fuck up!
Oh Boy! These kids so cool.
The beat's so deep, the flow's so smooth.
Mic check, one two, one two.
They came to rock, to rock the house for you.
We ain't about enterprising or dough making,
but we wanna say thanks to you folks for donating.
Peace to all the reviews and dope ratings.
For those that bang they skulls to this 'til they dome aching!
We gon' keep performing, beat-making, beasting for a reason.
Peace to all you people, Eastern European,
Swedish or Norwegian, Aussie, Asian, even North Korean.
France, Germany, US and the UK,
Africa, Mexico and even kids from Uuguay.
Chill ou and bump this, ‘cause this is a new day.
And haters: We couldn't give a shit'bout what you say.
Oh Boy! These kids so cool.
The beat's so deep, the flow's so smooth.
Mic check, one two, one two.
They came to rock, to rock the house for you.
The lyrics to Chill Bump's "The Eponym" tell the story of the rapper's journey into the world of hip-hop, from his introduction to Nas and other classic artists, to his early experiences writing and performing with friends. By the time of the song's writing and recording, he and his crew have matured as artists and gained a diverse following that spans the globe.
The opening verse references the year 1995, when the rapper's father was still alive and hip-hop first captured his interest. He name-checks Nas as a major influence and recalls listening to his own cassettes of iconic albums like Doggystyle and Wu-Tang Clan's debut. Even as a young kid, he was already honing his skills as a writer and rapper, practicing endlessly to perfect his flow.
As the song progresses, the rapper recounts how he and his crew began performing together as teenagers, only to lose touch for a time when one member switched to DJing and the other focused on rapping. However, they eventually reconnected and vowed to take their talents to new heights, performing for audiences all over the world and thanking their fans for their support.
Overall, "The Eponym" is a tribute to the power of hip-hop to bring people together across cultures and national borders, as well as a testament to the hard work and dedication required to make it as an artist in the industry.

[Verse 1]
In 95, when my father was still alive
Hip-hop hit my heart and I started to feel the vibe
I'd listen to Nas spit rhymes too damn correct
I can't forget my doggystyle and my wu-tang cassette
See, I was only 10, holding a pen
Hoping to find schemes, rhyming over and over again
At 13, I had a crew, we'd flow and hang out
And that's how I started rapping with the homie Bankal
He went his way and I went mine
He switched to turntable-ism, I perfected my rhyme
A decade later, we met again and said "what up?"
We gotta get together and tear the stage the fuck up

[Outro(Verse 1 of "Just a Sample" 2]
Life's a game, who's ready to win?
Who's ready to face the true devil within?
Are you ready to fight when you step in the ring?
Step to the right, move left and then swing
Learn from every bruise left in your skin
When time flies, shoot lead in its swing
Season spin, loops end and begin
When the tables turn, you lose everything
Don't cling to life, life is too complex
You're a useless speck sliding through the nets
To the right and to the left
You slide from one cycle to the next
Use your head, try to do what's best
Best be cool, use the time that you can get
Let the present guide your future steps
Defy death and die with few regrets

I just found your bumps and I gotta say I love the vibes. Savvy flows and funky beats, this beat in particular props to your homie Bankal. He absolutely nailed this beat with the background voice to top it off.
