Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beats ya'll, rock rock to the beats ya'll

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat ya'll rock rock to the beat ya'll
It's the o b e
The o the n e
Yes the man that you think of
And when I step inside the place to be
All the ladies fall in love

And I'm the v-a-n-d-a the l
And I would like to mention
That t-dot city is the place we dwell
We came to party with no tension

Well it's the a-b-d-o-m-i-n
A-a-a-a-a-a, l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l
That's the abdominal quite obvious
Cause I trust you know how to spell

Who's that cryptic souls cat that's known to get live
You transform my name to numbers it'd be one-three-five
Nine-eleven-nineteen
Stepping on your scene
Asicks knows basics shine like afro-sheen

Clean out your ears
And ya open your eyes
To see k-n-g "csc" coming alive in 3-d
I'm the man who you want to be
But defeating is an impossibility

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat ya'll, rock rock to the beat ya'll

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat ya'll, rock rock to the beat ya'll

Well it's the m-o-k-a
The o-n-l-y
I really couldn't tell you why I'm flowing so fly
I guess it's for the fact I got the gift of gab
To bring the party people something they never done had

When decisive came to rock the mega-city got scared
Because I came with clinched fists and my nostrils flared
But when I dropped my first rhyme
I automatically declared
That I could take the city out without the hardcore stare

I'm s-y-m-b-e-o-l-I-k
And if you didn't come to party then holla may-day
Ok, paint a picture stroke by stroke in ya frame
C-k flow yeah that is my name

Well I go by the title of the name d-rock
â??n dis here recital's guaranteed not stopping
I got a whole bunch of brothers from around my block
And it's a sure shot that we stay on top

It's the planet-p here to keep it live
And I'm also known as kudu-5
When my crew is in the place we take control
Now you're being captivated by the cryptic souls

Get funky with it

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat ya'll, rock rock to the beat ya'll

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat ya'll, rock rock to the beat ya'll

Overall Meaning

The song "Cryptik Souls Crew" by Len is a hip-hop party anthem that introduces the group and their individual members. It begins with a greeting to the listeners and an announcement of the arrival of the Cryptik Souls Crew. The chorus "Rock rock to the beat ya'll" also encourages dancing and participation from the audience.


The song then highlights each member of the group, starting with o b e and then v-a-n-d-a the l, who are both confident in their abilities and origins. Next is abdominal, who emphasizes his name with a playful repetition of the letters in it. Asicks, who "shines like afro-sheen," is then introduced before k-n-g "csc", the man everyone wants to be but cannot defeat. M-o-k-a follows, showcasing his gift of gab, and then decisive, who initially scares the mega-city but quickly proves himself with his first rhyme. S-y-m-b-e-o-l-i-k and c-k flow round out the lineup before d-rock and Planet P make their appearance in the final verse.


The song's lyrics are meant to pump up the audience and establish the Cryptik Souls Crew as a talented and confident group of musicians. The use of wordplay and playful self-introductions adds to the lively atmosphere of the song.
