Trip Lee, Sho Baraka - I Love Music lyrics

Hey I came up in a
Crib where music played non-stop
From the night till the day we're
In them same loud spots
Before I heard o' Nas and Jay
I would say my pops
He used to play all my saints
And marvin gaye up top
Some have to wait Isley brothers
Heard the way they rock
Earth Wind and fire man you can't
Say that they not hot
So I take from my dad more
Than the name I got but my love for music I
Would gladly take my lot
I remember rockin out some mj always
Had me moon walkin in my socks in the halways
Playin tapes in my walkman all day
The good days lil will is what they call me
And everything I loved I had to try to do it
I tried to play some sports but


I fell in love with music
Plus that love stayed and
That love grew deeper
It wasn't goin' nowhere either
I love to hear the kick hit
Love to hear the snare pop
Love to hear them hi hats play
I love music much more than I can say
I love music I was just designed that way
I love to hear the violin
Love to hear the keystroke
Love to hear trumpet play
Thank God for music, ain't much more that
I can say, thank God for music
Thank God for music

Eh, I discovered hip hop and
I was never the same
I got my first CD still remember the name
Started to bump Jay-Z he was
Ahead of the game
Me and my boys bumped it all
The time it's regular thangs
I remember middle school we used
To write them rhymes shout out to K
Rock and Nick we used to write them lines
Was talkin foolishness I used
To swipe dem dimes
I used to look back at mine
Like "I was tight this time"
I got serious about it tryna make that heat
Recordin in my room and Leak he
Used to make me beats when times is hard
My first love had made things sweet
I had dreams of goin platinum
Tryna take things deep
But then a light came on
I changed my mind to anon
The trick was tryna find a way
To take the whole game on
I saw that it was bigger than
Just tryna put my name on (why?)
Jesus is supreme and that's what
I wanna display homes

I love to hear the kick hit
Love to hear the snare pop
Love to hear them hi hats play
I love music much more than I can say
I love music I was just designed that way
I love to hear the violin
Love to hear the keystroke
Love to hear trumpet play
Thank God for music, ain't much more that
I can say, thank God for music
Thank God for music
Back in the day when I was young
I went from rich 'n to poor
Fell in love with music poppin
N breakin on floors
Figured i would bust some flows
Instead of breakin my bones
Thinkin like i moved the crowd
In my mirrors at home
Within the cipher zone i found that
I could hold my own
Had dreams of blazin up the
Joint like cheech and chong
I'ma be a rap star when I grow up
Light a match to my gods head I'ma blow up
If they don't recognize my
Skills joker so what
They don't know talent when they see
It they don't know us but, I met the One who
Did His name was Jehovah
Took me off of death row
Made a no limit soldier
Still love music just as much as the next man
I just use it now to save
Jokers from they death jam
Theirs glories in the whistle blow
Toe tap, hand clap, heart beat
You did your thing tip off my high hat

I love to hear the kick hit
Love to hear the snare pop
Love to hear them hi hats play
I love music much more than I can say
I love music I was just designed that way
I love to hear the violin
Love to hear the keystroke
Love to hear trumpet play
Thank God for music, ain't much more that
I can say, thank God for music
Thank God for music
