Don't Mute DC (feat. Tone P, Lightshow & Noochie)

#DontMuteDC 

 They trying to call our music noise..

 Go-go. 

 Heartbeat of the city 

 Sound of Washington DC

 Old school to new school 

 RE x Tone P

 Let’s get it 

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 This ain’t no new DC 

 See this that true DC

 See this that Go Go, that chocolate

 Me and you DC 

 But now ride thru DC 

 I’m cool with new DC 

 Man just don’t come here

 And complain bout what we do in DC 

 Gentrified

 It lies here

 In the District of Columbia 

 Cause now a days 

 It’s do or die 

 In the District of Columbia 

 I gotta right to know 

 I gotta right to do 

 I gotta right to be here 

 The real DC 

 So stand up

 If you a native dog

 Then put ya hands up 

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 I was riding on my way to the bank

 Stop the car they playing some crank

 Where you was 

 I was right on the ave 

 Made a right 

 And got right to a bag

 3 stars 2 bars in the red 

 Only time you seeing white on the flag 

 They was talking really muting the music 

 I been really trying hard not laugh 

 We been out here going hard with the craft 

 I’m from barrel of bottom of crabs 

 Had nothing 

 But we started with that

 But the music always been part of the platform 

 Mute what.. we ain’t let that happen 

 Turn it down, might not even do that 

 Getting to it, glad you ask me how’s that’s going 

 Tell you all about it soon as I’m back 

 What is this broccoli city 

 This here is chocolate city

 This here is bothering me

 But I work better when the odds against me 

 Already took the hood 

 Now they wanna take the soul

 Try to shut us down 

 But they forgot that we love Go Go

 Gotta let em know that we ain’t going nowhere

 If we ever go it’s gonna be a war here 

 Can’t kick us out when we grew up right here 

 Like chuck brown ain’t blew up right here 

 I feel like busting loose 

 Gotta recognize the real when it’s coming through 

 We gotta stand up 

 Gotta make it right

 But a whole lotta y’all be faking like 

 Hating like 

 We ain’t same

 Gotta unify 

 If we want the change 

 Go do something 

 Don’t just can’t complain 

 If we let it go it ain’t no one to blame 

 But us

 Don’t nobody care bout us but us

 We ain’t never turning down we won’t shut up

 Matter fact get loud turn up 

 Turn up turn up 

 Oy 

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 They try to tell us turn the noise down  (Tell us turn the noise down)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 Don’t mute DC   (Don’t mute DC)

 3 Stars 2 bars where is Northeast

 3 stars 2 bars where is Southeast

 3 stars 2 bars where is Southwest

 Northwest, uptown where they keep it fresh 

 Maryland, Virginia, the DMV

 And I put that on my life we need unity 

 Stand up

 Make it right

 Don’t mute DC it’s a way of life

 If Marion Barry was still around

 He definitely shut it down

 Since we lost Chuck Brown that day we all vowed

 To do whatever need to be done 

 To protect the sound

 This city world renown

 Stamped Go-Go town

 Put some mambo sauce on it

 Believe me it go better

 Mute us, you know better

 U Street Moechella

 This is a revolution

 Stop disrespecting the movement

 And please stop walking poodles through our learning institutions

 Disrespect we won’t tolerate

 Believe me we got time today

 We can make ya neighborhood an uncomfortable place to stay
