the swinghoppers - swing hop (bigger than) lyrics

[verse 1: offbeat, sharleena ray & pye]
one thing about music is it can’t be pigeon-holed
whether it’s brand new or it’s old
there’s more than era that’s gold
and we’re combining ’em
two genres decades apart, but we’re uniting them
and we mix ’em together, to make something better
even dead prez ain’t denying it

but i didn’t want to do this all on my own
so i -ssembled a team of like-minded friends
the finest musical minds i can find
who have proved it time and time again
we’re all established artists in our own right
but aligned, we’re multiplied by 10
so for now i’m gonna say (bye, bye)
to the solo life, like hylo ren
yeah, we’ve got the scene on lock
kings of this thing like bb was
in a speakeasy doing cheeky shots
til’ we go blinder than the peeky mob
everything that you might need, we’ve got
a guy called pye with a sweet beatbox
but he’s not the type that you want to bite
like the ones on fleet street from sweeney todd
so if you want the sickest spitters
record-spinning
singing swingers
they we’ll be the bringers of enjoyment
but then, if you’re a bitter, twisted
critic, sitting
dissing, wishing we were quitting
quicker, than you will be disappointed

[chorus]
we’re bigger than hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop (why?)
’cause this right here is swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop

[verse 2: offbeat, sharleena ray & pye]
we love biggie smalls, we love duke ellington, we love it all
from jump up hip-hop to lindy hop in the old town hall
if you can hear us, we been telling ’em to please recall
two golden eras here together, and they’re standing tall
the kick drum thumps, the tension mounts
the speaker pumps, and we’re ready to pounce
if your hips gonna bump, then that’s what counts
but if you’re ready to jump, then we’re ready to bounce
get out your seat, check for the show
if you got feet, then you know where to go
step to the beat, listen to the flow
we’ll rip off the roof like a full proof pro
in the real world (world, world)
i keep a 9 to 5
daydream of leaving it behind
to speak to people on stage live
but in the real world (world, world)
the truth is, i’m a normal guy
but i will prove i got the drive
to see it through and see it fly
so if you like tight spitting, and that heavy weight b-ss
with a beatbox rhythm, then you’re in the right place
the harmony’s pure when shar’s on the case
but if you want more, we can pick up the pace
i only got a minute, so i’ll hit it then i’ll quit
and there’s a lot for me to fit in, so i’d better spit it quick
this isn’t a gimmick or a rip off of a hit
’cause it’s bigger than the sum of what we put into the mix

[chorus]
we’re bigger than hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop (why?)
’cause this right here is swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop

it’s bigger than hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop (why?)
you’re listening to swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop, swing-hop

[outro: offbeat & sharleena ray]
offbeat always plays to win
he’ll make you jump up from the way he spits (1, 2, 1, 2)
pie man always plays to win
he’ll make you jump up, getting stages lit (y’all, what’cha wanna do)
awesome wells always plays to win
he’ll make you jump up, rotating hits (1, 2, 1, 2)
the swinghoppers always play to win
we’ll make you jump up, getting stages lit
