John Reuben

Soundman

(chorus)

Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them

Right here right now

It's up to him to mix me in with my vocal blend from start to end

No party crashin me and my fellow mc's we keep it smashin

Enter the place and watch the crowd start reactin

With the all shoot back up back up Mr. Sound Man turn my track up track up

Even though I might be the act to open up

Show me love dear friend please don't jack me up

(chorus)

Sound man I trust you

It's a must to hop on your toys and raise the noise up

To a volume that makes the people want to swoon free

Up the music to consume the room

Cuz when it comes down to it

All that we've got is MC's and DJ's

And whether or not the man on the boards can afford to feel friendly

To every mc never make the sound man your enemy

(chorus)

Big headed mc's and uptight bands all over the land

They're ticking off the sound man

Ego's on ten but in the same trend

You've got sound folk who provoke and do it to them

Not to mention the security guard who tries hard to be hard

And takes his job a little too far

And I understand your need for attitude

But I don't see why we need to spare the gratitude

So I'll be the first to say job well done

Thank you sound man you're second to none

I also speak on behalf of the DJ

And on that note I feel we've earned the right to say

(chorus)
