[Spoken sample:] Time has come… The time has come…
["Bobby" (Double K):] Miiiiike!
[Spoken sample:] The time has come…
["Bobby" (Double K):] Miiiiike!
[Double K:] Ahhhh… It's 'bout time to go check out the Voices of Umoja!
[Spoken sample:] The time has come…
["Bobby" (Double K):] Miiiiike!
[Double K:] Check it…yo, People Under The Stairs, you know what I'm sayin'? Yeah, we gonna rock it one time… 90-point-7 on your FM deezy! Check it! ([Thes One:] KPFK!)
[Double K:]
Ay-yo, ay-yo! Broadcasting live, straight outta West L.A.
The P on your airwaves, relaxing you from a hard day's work
Kick back, tune in, and don't front
90.7, serving up the stuff that you want
Don't go nowhere else, it's right here on your F.M. dial
Strapping with the homie Tre, and we bringing 'nuff style
Yo, it's The Next Step, brotha, you know who we be
Under the steps, busting through your Polo vest, rocking your frequency
P's still crowning the rest, it's Double K and Thes
Buy the album when it drop and don't forget Kidd Lex
And Dr. Oop (we all caravan) and listen to the show
From 10 to 12, yo, I just thought I'd let you know
That it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground ([Thes One:] The Voices of Umoja!)
Yo, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground (The P tonight from the Heights…)
Yo, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground (Coming with the Underground sound…)
Yo, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground, fool…
[Thes One:]
Mic check, one-two, P on top, pen a glock, rock KPFK
Penetrating through your rooftop on the F.M…. F.M…. easily
90.7, rocking with the P ([Double K:] Aw, fo' sheezy!)
On this West Coast, Under The Stairs, the Holy Ghost
Being heard not seen like the Voices of Umoja
If you know what I mean, broadcast to believers
You're no-name, turn me up, so I can blow up
Frequency receivers, frequently, I mean their fresher
Even better than that, Thes ripping through tracks
With the P hat to the back, smack we make in your hood
Sending tsunami sound waves, straight North Hollywood
That sounds good in your car, no hables Ingles
Si puedes escuchar, universally raw
Not comercially bought, it's independently thought
Thes One and Dub K, underground with the art
Well, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground ([Double K:] Yo, the Voices of Umoja!)
Well, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground (Underground? Yo…)
Well, it's the People Under The, you know, the ones running the
Underground (Ay-yo, we running it!)
Well, it's the People… you know… The People Under The…
([Double K:] The People Under The Stairs, we out like that… peace!)
