Beat Goes On
Travis Barker Lyrics

In the city lights, the night'll give me life
The bright lights of the city energize me and make me feel alive at night

I hear the drums, Ima war chief gimme knife
The sound of the drums inspires me to feel like a powerful warrior, ready for battle

Got kush fuck the knife just give me light
I don't need other tools or weapons, just a source of light to enjoy my marijuana

Spark it up in my grow room, pretty sight
I enjoy lighting up my marijuana in the room where it was grown because it's beautiful

Got a house on the hill with the pretty type
I have a beautiful house on a hill with a nice view

You ain't got a kush man, what a shitty life
If you don't have marijuana, it must be a terrible life for you

I don't wanna hit a bowl on ya mini pipe
I don't want to smoke marijuana in a small pipe that can only hold a little bit

Tryin to hit my 8 footer, reach Diddy heights
I want to smoke a large bong that will give me a strong high, like Puff Daddy's height of success

Now Im swinging on the drums like tarzan
I'm playing the drums with such energy and excitement, it's like I'm swinging through the jungle like Tarzan

Incorporate the weed to my bars man
I'm using my marijuana usage to inspire my music and lyrics

Sixteen of em, I been needin' em, on stage screamin' em
I need 16 bars of music to perform and I'm always screaming them out on stage

Pr's Hill screamin' em
I'm shouting my bars on stage at PR's hill, probably a concert venue or location

They call me the Greenthumb, the serene one
People refer to me as the Greenthumb because of my love for marijuana and I am known for being calm and peaceful

I laid back from the drum like a beach bum
I'm taking it easy and relaxing on the drums like I'm sunbathing at the beach

Shit is hot as summer. Another classic number
This song is sizzling with energy and will be remembered as a classic

Everybody give it up for the funky drummer
Let's hear it for the talented drummer who brings the funk to this song

And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on) And the beat goes on and on and on And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on) And the beat goes on
This beat is so strong and enduring, it will continue on and on and never stop

Here come the west coasters, wylin out loco
The people from the west coast are here and they're going crazy

My eyeballs bleed from the weed I been smokin.
I've been smoking so much marijuana that it's making my eyes red and irritated

Keep walking son, I keep the song hostile
You better keep moving, because I'm keeping the tempo aggressive and intense

Mad weaponry, I bring by the stockpile
I have a lot of great equipment and musical skills to bring to this performance

Way too deep, my block legendary
I'm too deep into the music scene and my community is known for its musical talent

Many MC's tried to creep and got burried
Many other rappers have tried to come after me and failed

He ain't come to Cypress, back with the tightest
If you haven't been in Cypress, you're not considered amongst the best rappers

Man behind the kit, we know you gon' like this
I am the man behind the drum kit and I know you're going to love my performance

Roll with the top dog, do it like a rockstar
Hang out with the best in the industry and live life like a rockstar

Stuffin em up, a double dose of hot sauce
I'm adding extra spice to my performance, making it even more exciting for the audience

You got your ears on, and your listenin To bad motherfuckas in this here business
Listen closely to us, because we're badasses in this industry

Handle shit right, get your stack on
Take care of business the correct way, in order to make lots of money

Anybody hating, its the fool you smash on
If anyone is hateful towards you, they're the one who will lose in the end

Gonna say last time and Im gonna jump Hit em like Blam ! Give the drummer some
I'm about to give it my all one last time in this song, and then I'm going to add a strong bang to the drums

Shit is critical, we are the invincible
This situation is very important and we are indestructible

Riot starter, start riots on principle
I'm known for inspiring people to start riots based on their principles and beliefs

At the pinnacle, the game is winnable
We're at the top of our game and we're definitely going to win

Put the record on the table, guaranteed spinnable
This record is guaranteed to be played and enjoyed by many

Follow the leader, the level is going off the meter
Everyone should follow my lead, because the energy and excitement is extremely high

The funk freaker, with the big drum beater
I'm a fanatic for funk music and I'm playing the drums with great force

What you scared for, better prepare yourself
Don't be scared, you should just get ready for the excitement that's coming

For the time of your life, we are in rare form
This is going to be the best time of your life, because we're in a unique and powerful state of being

This track goes hard with Travis Barker
This song is intense and high-energy because Travis Barker is playing the drums

'Cause the beat is much ? than a Magic Marker
This beat is more powerful and intense than a drawing from a Magic Marker

I'm a self made, not a Federline
I've made myself into a successful artist, without relying on anyone else, unlike Kevin Federline

Got my own stacks, stack music, cheddar's mine
I've made my own money through music and it's all mine

On forever rhyme, something that you'll never find
I'm going to keep rapping and making music forever, something that most people can't achieve
