[Chorus]
This one’s for the DJs
This one’s for the rappers (hey!)
Spin it ’til the paint peel
Turn the crowd to reactors
From the booth to the back row
Hands up like you drafted
If you built it from the ground, say
“We really made it happen” (we made it)
[Verse 1]
Started in a bedroom
Cracked screen, cheap mic
Label said “We love you”
Then they split the pie slight
Advance got you smiling
But the fine print biting
You the one who bleed for it
They the ones who type it
I seen suits in the hallway
Picking who get light
If your numbers don’t sparkle
They don’t care what you write
So I took it to the block
Let the people decide
’Cause a real crowd reaction
Cut deeper than a lie
[Chorus]
This one’s for the DJs
This one’s for the rappers (oh!)
Spin it ’til the paint peel
Turn the crowd to reactors
From the booth to the back row
Hands up like you drafted
If you built it from the ground, say
“We really made it happen” (we made it)
[Verse 2]
West side with the bounce
Yard smoke in the air
East voice in the pocket
Like I’m boxing a snare
She from down by the river
Got that drawl, got that glare (uh-huh)
When she sing on the hook
Every head gotta stare
Industry is a jungle
Every chain got a cost
If you hungry for the crown
Keep a ledger of the loss
Own your name, own your masters
Keep your fam in the loop
’Cause the sharks wear lanyards
And they smile in the group
[Bridge]
To all the DJs
Breaking new names nightly (spin that)
To all the rappers
Sharpening they lines quietly
If they treat you like a product
Treat yourself like truth
Let the hype fade out
Let the work be proof
[Chorus]
This one’s for the DJs
This one’s for the rappers (hey!)
Spin it ’til the paint peel
Turn the crowd to reactors
From the booth to the back row
Hands up like you drafted
If you built it from the ground, say
“We really made it happen” (we made it)
