All Around The World
Snowgoons & PMD & Sean Strange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time to time, travel back in time
When I wanted to be a b-boy, when I wanted to rhyme
Listen to the Magic rap attack, tryin' to get mine
Dreams of a world premiere, ready to shine
Way before satellite, radio, and
Before the Internet, GPS and textin'
Before the e-mail, cellphone, Fed Ex and
Hip-hop was in the making
Kool Herc, Bambaata, Zulu Nation
I was only 13, but I was tuned in
Checkin' and peepin' the new movement
My brother Pooch was signed to Tommy Boy Records
Connected, years later met Sermon, started to wreck shit
? Put me down, I was DJ ECP of the ? Squad
And now that came to birth of the Hit Squad
EMPD, Das EFX, Redman and K-Solo
Knuckleheads, Boondocks, I'm on a slow flow

All around the world
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world

(I live and die for the Hip Hop)

Ey, yo, I been the Hip-hop, kept me alive
Ready to die, never that, in fact, heavily grind
From ? to halftime, my mind I can't find
Some times the man cried, ?
You should pay attention, take a ? from the great depression
My tape collection responsible for the cake I'm catchin'
And now I got the game locked like I'm state correction
My brain's reflection is deadlier than the aids infection
Sean ? before the show, gotta roll the dutch
I'm golden ?, I throw you up in the ?
I'm old enough, I like being covered up like a * *
Until I grab the mic, prepare to * * *, now hold it up
I paid my dues, you can't deny that I grind, dog
And rhyme bars * when I'm on the mic feel like I'm God
PMD the teacher gave me knowledge that'll rock the crowd
I'm all around the world, motherfucka, ain't no stoppin' now

All around the world
All around the world
All around the world




All around the world
All around the world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "All Around the World" by Snowgoons, PMD, and Sean Strange capture the essence of the early days of hip-hop, when the art form was still in its infancy.

The lyrics celebrate the hustle and grind of those who pay their dues, putting in work to achieve success, and the role models who paved the way for them. The chorus, "All around the world," is a declaration of the reach of hip-hop culture, which has spread from its early roots in the Bronx to become a global phenomenon.
