Intro
People Under the Stairs Lyrics

Back in the studio
Returning to the creative space where music is produced

Are you on dope?
Are you under the influence of something mind-altering?

Yes.
Affirming the previous question

What kind?
What specific substance or influence?

Musical dope.
Being intoxicated or inspired by the power of music

You get high?
Do you experience euphoria or transcendence?

Yes.
Confirming the previous question

Of what?
What is the source or medium of this heightened state?

Music.
The very essence and sound that elevates the senses

Are you on a trip or something?
Are you in a altered state of perception or consciousness?

Yes.
Confirming the previous question

What kind of a trip?
In what manner or form is this altered state?

Music.
Transformed and transported by the art of sound and rhythm

The People Under The Stairs are back with the win
The musical duo, known as The People Under The Stairs, have returned with success and triumph

All city called in, touring like a Griswold
Receiving invitations from numerous cities to perform live like the Griswold family's famous journeys

Made it back safe, made the track laced tasty
Returning from the tour unharmed and delivering a captivating and deliciously produced song

Scoped out your album and the time that you waste, G
Carefully examined your own album and the moments you squandered without purpose

I'm hasty, your keyboard tracks, they don't phase me
In a rush, unimpressed and unaffected by the tracks created using a keyboard

Digging through the crates for some gems that amaze me
Exploring through old record crates in search of remarkable and astonishing musical pieces

A musical represent, my LA environment
Expressing through music the essence and atmosphere of my Los Angeles surroundings

Porch sitting, beat making, writing rhymes, getting bent
Relaxing on the porch, crafting beats, composing lyrics, and getting high

Took the time to combine, me and big Mike rhyme
Devoted effort to collaborate and synchronize with Big Mike's rap

Make our own beats, fill the streets with the lifeline
Creating our own musical compositions and spreading them throughout the city as a vital source of energy

Lifelong, through the strife times, I'mma write songs
Persevering throughout difficult moments in life, I will continue to compose music

Three albums deep and couldn't stop if I had a
Having released three albums already, I am unstoppable and determined

Calmness with this, my life drama, end quote
Finding tranquility amid the chaos and turbulence of my existence

I used to be a fan, but with time, I lost hope
I was once a supporter and enthusiast, but as time passed, my optimism dwindled

So I took the problem in my own hands
Therefore, I took matters into my own control

Now I'm looking through the scope
Now I am examining the situation with a focused and determined perspective

With the musical dope, to please fans
Utilizing the power of music to satisfy and entertain our supporters

It goes on-once again, original styles, taking the top of the pile
Continuing, once more, with unique and innovative techniques, emerging as the best in the industry

Known for moving, controlling your crowd
Famous for energizing and commanding the audience

Double K to skeeze, please, and still loving the beats
Double K, a member of the group, delivering impressive rhymes and pleasing the crowd, all while deeply admiring the musicality

Still claiming the streets, still trying to eat
Maintaining a presence in the urban environment and striving for success

Still high off my feet, do my digging discreet
Still euphoric and inspired, I search for musical treasures in a discreet manner

The Boss Angeles champ, worldwide like a stamp
The champion of Los Angeles, recognized and celebrated globally like a postage stamp

Can't nobody tell me nothing, I was born raising hell
No one has the authority to dictate or control my actions, as I am naturally rebellious

Bumped the funk straight from heaven, Michael ‘77
Played and embraced the heavenly funk sound, exemplified by Michael Jackson's iconic album released in 1977

And niggas still can't believe that we came right back
And individuals are still in disbelief of our triumphant return

Took a commercial break, we here to bring your fate
Took a temporary pause from the mainstream, but now we're back to shape your destiny with our music

On black vinyl, it's final, like the week before vacation
Releasing our music on black vinyl records, making it definitive and enduring, just like the anticipation before a vacation

Beating niggas at their own game, state their occupation
Outperforming others in their chosen field, forcing them to reveal their true occupation

So go home and tell your parents you won't need that equipment
Return home and inform your parents that you do not require the tools or devices they believe are necessary

You need to cop assistance, your buddy was a witness
You should acquire help and support, as your friend has been there to witness your shortcomings

The P-U-thrash-suckers like a mosh pit gang
The People Under The Stairs overpower and defeat their adversaries, similar to the frenzied impact of a mosh pit

For always and always, the things will never be the same
Always and forever, everything will remain in a state of constant change and evolution

Only sometimes, overly stand trying
Occasionally, persisting with excessive effort

Okay, start that over, send track on similar transplant
Alright, let's restart the process, sending a track with a similar sound to a different context

over sound that operate similar towns
Creating music that resonates with various communities and locations

up state to other state on sampling templates
From one state of mind to another, utilizing sampled elements as a foundation

only sometimes over stand prime
Rarely fully comprehending the true essence and significance

Okay, start that over, send track on similar transplant
Alright, let's restart the process, sending a track with a similar sound to a different context

over sound to operate similar towns
Creating music that resonates with various communities and locations

up state so other state, sample in templates
Emulating the styles and soundscapes of different regions through sampling techniques

Turn this in, perfection unit, track schooling
Presenting this piece, a flawless embodiment of musical brilliance, teaching and educating through the track

Call us 'max cool' and we be hip hop ruling
Refer to us as the epitome of coolness, as we dominate the hip hop genre

Original stash taking, non-faking, not to be mistaken as anything nice
Maintaining an authentic and unique collection of music, never pretending or pretending to be something pleasant

(Yo, we like cancer to your life!)
(We are comparable to a destructive force in your existence!)

That's so precious and young, but we wicked and old
That may seem innocent and youthful, but we possess a mischievous and experienced nature

Tore up plenty of shows, let the story be told
Delivered exceptional performances, leaving a significant impact, allowing our legacy to be recounted

Yo we scolding-ing down niggas since the last time out
We have been reprimanding and criticizing individuals since our previous absence from the spotlight

Stepping up inside the booth, lashing out with the truth
Entering the recording booth to express ourselves freely and honestly

Prophets of another kind, keep it real on the mind
Visionaries with a different perspective, committed to staying authentic and genuine

With the hustle to the grind, this music of mine
Working tirelessly and diligently, this music I create

Niggas who try to call out, no doubt get hauled out
Those who attempt to challenge us or criticize us will undoubtedly be dealt with

Bawled out, wrong route, bet I hope you get stalled out
Publicly humiliated, choosing the incorrect path, I expect you to experience obstacles and setbacks

The P be the bully of this so-called rap game
The People Under The Stairs assert their dominance and control within the rap industry

More like a crap game, with no money to claim
Similar to a deceitful game with no financial rewards to attain

Ask who took it, yo, I got it and ain't giving it back
Inquire about who possesses it, well, I have it and I have no intentions of returning it

You're living with that, so Thes One deliver 'em that... what?!
You must live with that reality, so Thes One will provide them with the truth... what?!

It's like a new-born baby, unseen sound, so hold it
This musical creation is comparable to a freshly born infant, an unheard sound, so cherish it

I worked too damn hard for you to fucking download it
I put in an incredible amount of effort for you to simply download it without appreciating the labor involved

We been in the lab, all summer, hundred degrees
We have spent the entire summer in the studio, enduring hot temperatures

Making beats, laying in eight-tracks, you know the steez
Creating instrumentals, recording onto eight-track tapes, exemplifying our signature style

Like scrounging up the pennies for the ice cream truck
Similar to gathering spare coins to purchase ice cream from a passing truck

Get a couple extra bucks and go off looking for funk
Having a little extra money to venture out in search of funky music

So basically there's nothing changed since the last time we talked
Essentially, nothing has altered since our previous conversation

Couple more crates, more house parties, hanging on the block
Obtained a few additional record crates, attended more social gatherings, and spent time in the neighborhood

Food spots and jokes, the 40 ounce and smokes
Visiting local eateries, sharing humorous anecdotes, consuming 40-ounce liquor bottles, and smoking cigarettes

We got a little more fame, basically the same blokes
Gained a modest amount of fame, but fundamentally, we remain the same individuals

So all the real P fans, this goes out to you
This message is dedicated to all the genuine and loyal fans of The People Under The Stairs

In whatever city you at, whoever your crew
Regardless of which city you are located in or who your group of friends may be

So all the real P fans, this goes out to you
This message is dedicated to all the genuine and loyal fans of The People Under The Stairs

In whatever city you at, whoever your crew
Regardless of which city you are located in or who your group of friends may be

So all the real P fans, gather 'round and take note
Therefore, all the dedicated fans of The People Under The Stairs, come together and pay attention

Presenting O.S.T., the musical dope
Introducing the album O.S.T. as a remarkable and highly addictive musical creation
