(Cozmo Jethro scratches).

It was Christmas 2024.
Opened this present.
Was like yo what's that for?

I already had a crude DJ setup.
So I shelved it for a few months yea.

It was sittin under my desk.
I should do somethin with this.
So I hooked it up.
Was like, damn that's the shit!

Numark Mixtrack Platinum FX
I can do a lot more with thi thi thi thi thi this.

(Cozmo Jethro scratches).

Now I don't pretend to be a DJ.
Much more comfortable yea, as an emcee.
But it's fun to play with the equipment.
Make those sounds, and break it down.

Give props, to Grandmaster Flash.
And the originator, Grand Wizard Theodore.
I wanna scratch like DJ Real. https://soundcloud.com/the-dj-real
The best DJ I know on the wheels of steel.

Maybe someday, I can scratch like him.
Would take practice to scratch like that Australian.
But for now, I'll keep havin fun.
And improvin my tracks, yo one by one.

(Cozmo Jethro)
Me and Nasty back together again.
After a couple of years.
Rockin the mic
Like a couple of kids.

We’re getting older
And our bodies are changin.
But we’re still rockin the rhymes.
And doin our thing.

Shit, I can’t see the waveform on this track.
Yo Nasty, where my readers at?
I got pains in my ankle, my knee, and my butt.
But I’m still here yea rockin the cut.

Just 2 old school b boys
Who can’t get enough
Of that old school hip hop
Everybody says, what?

Now that I’m older
I’ve passed the test.
Livin life to the fullest
Mostly do what I want, yep.

I ride down the road
With my 12 inch subs
Bumpin that old school hip hop
Feelin the love.

Yea I got problems like everybody else.
But I roll with the punches
Boom bap yea!

Got lots to look forward to
And everybody knows
That at this age,
Gotta prove nothin to nobody yo.

So we’ll keep rockin the mic
And doin our thing,
Old school rap is what we bring. 

(Nasty Tha Mc)
We aint quittin, we aint stoppin.
Guess what we only gettin started.
We aint quittin, we aint stoppin.
Guess what we only gettin started.

Yo Cozmo, I'm bout to act up. (act up)
I'm bout to do what it do. Yea in the cut. (in the cut).
Like summer summertime. 
Yea, you already know. Yea alright.

Couple livin legends, just doin what it do.
In our stance, oh yea, that's true.
Some fly kicks on our feet. LIke that (like that.)
Adidas laced up like that (like that.)

Ready to go, yea prepare for more.
Yi, with a mind, that be a weapon.
Keep on steppin. On the track, (uh huh)
More Daddy than a Big Mac.

Somethin bumpin in the Cadillac.
Check it out, what it be yea.

This that cool vibe.
This that summer vibe.
Oh my. (oh my)

That old school summer vibe.
Cozmo and Nasty gettin live.
From the old school, stay fly.
That fresh hip hop 2025.

That Summer Vibe (beat. Villatic)

I Wanna Go

Soundscape: Starts with harsh static, distorted shouts, oppressive drone. Then, a single clear synth note cuts through, growing.)

(Verse 1 - Chanted, urgent, overlapping voices)

Noise. Noise. Noise.
Hate. Hate. Hate.
Breaking us apart.
Silencing our thought.

Static cages.
Echo chambers.
Drowning out the truth.
Stealing our own voice.

Walls of sound.
Walls of lies.
Crushing down the soul.
Keeping us afraid.

(Verse 2 - Spoken-sung, clearer, more accusatory rhythm)

They want silence.
Broken minds.
Confused and lost.
Afraid to speak.

Separate us.
Keep us small.
Alone and weak.
While they take all.

Take our data.
Take our rights.
Take our stories.
Take the light.

(Choral Buildup - Starts sparse, adds layers, voices harmonizing like a signal clearing)

But...
Together...
Strong.

(Beat)
Our voices...
Rise.

(Beat - sound of static clearing slightly)
Hear us now...
Free.

(Beat - stronger synth pulse)
A chorus...
Born.

WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED! (Sung powerfully, full harmony)

(Bridge - Call & Response, driving beat emerges)

(Call): Break the noise! (Response): BREAK IT!
(Call): Shatter lies! (Response): SHATTER!
(Call): Find the signal! (Response): FIND IT!
(Call): Make them hear! (Response): HEAR US!

(Call): Right to speak! (Response): OUR RIGHT!
(Call): Right to know! (Response): OUR TRUTH!
(Call): Right to breathe! (Response): OUR AIR!
(Call): Right to be! (Response): EVERYWHERE!

(Chorus - Full, powerful, anthem-like - the "positive energy presence" is the collective strength)

TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG!
OUR VOICES CLEAR THE STATIC!
A CHORUS OF THE FREE!
WE RISE ABOVE THE NOISE!

THE SIGNAL BREAKS THE CAGE! (Reference to Cipher's power enabling the chorus)
TRUTH TURNS EVERY PAGE!
WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!
OUR UNIFIED ROAR! (Or: OUR FREEDOM'S SONG!)

(Outro - Fades with determined repetition, soundscape shifts to clearer tones, hopeful hum)

(Chanted fading):
Not silent. Not broken.
Not lost. Not taken.
Together. Stronger.
Signal rising.
Always rising...
(Faint, clear synth note sustains and fades - the persistent hum of resistance)
