I say we fear no evolution
Stand up musical revolution

We can never stop, and we can never give, ayeah
'cause this is how, we breathe and live
And some of them whine, and some of them bitch
They cannot do it, theya, we never switch
We do it for ourselves
We do it for you..boom!
If you don't like it well, I hope you do
