TURN IT UP
Lyrics Written By: Graphk, Styll & Cash The Freshman

Hook:
I’m bout to turn it up, mami body rockin’
She put it on me, when she drop it
Pour another cup, Yeah we rockin’
Shawty it’s on me, We bottle poppin ‘
I’m bout to turn it up

Graphk Verse 1:
Belvy, Remy, Henny, Belvy, Remy, Henny
With a dime piece I ain’t gotta spend a penny
No overweight lover, but my D is Heavy
Roll with Bloods they all red man like Reggie
I ain’t got no beamer, I ain’t no Bentley
I ain’t got no Benz, old shit that depends
I’m known up in Cali and known in Atlanta
Be in banks like Lloyd with je-wels like Santana
Ma I keep it C-note meaning I keep it hundred 
Off more dolphins than Marino
Man I swear these bitches love it
Man the kid cook, EZ Bake oven
The flow super bad call it McLovin
Blowin on grapes, call it Donatello
Married to them Lalas you can call me Melo
You can call me Melo, Diamonds blue and orange
No longer blue and yellow, hello

(Hook) Cash Verse 2:
I’m on like light poles from daybreak to nightfall
Green Saints in my face I’m charged up like IPhones
Man I’m off the Richter crew sicker than an eye sore
Beat it Billie Jean, Smooth Criminal it’s a knife war
Which means I come a bit sharper ma dig deeper
She say I’m fresh to death so nigga meet the Grim Reaper
2 a day numbs the pain, I’m a street healer
And if you want it man I got it and I D-Lever, ugh,
Naw I mean De-liver, large fountain drink to keep my dolphins up river
Styrofoam cup in both hands I’m getting slizzard
Catch us V.I.P. at Cabana sipping sizzurp
Leave you dis-turbed, kick you to the ciz-urb
Long leggy blonde and she’s tugging at my zipper
Well go figure, nigga she’s a ripper
She love our grand hustle but naw we never TIP a bitch

(Hook) Styll Verse 3:
I got a spot we can go they need both us there
And everybody with it no emotions there
Lights camera action can we get a close up here?
If the whole nights magic then lets disappear
Steady tipping at the bar like i got stacks of grands
So we can dance the night away like randy jackson fans
Can’t a place do us as good as me casa can
Living life under that water you need oxygen
You never needed more time she so approximate
So many niggas wait they turn just to cross yo path
New nice whip don’t ride in taxi cabs
She always be around blood like a maxi pad
Yea you got potential and i can see that
Somebody working with credential see you tryin to do that
Real time for a nigga see you trying to do that
Somebody working with credentials see you trying to do that

Turn It Up - Goondox

Hip-hop trio, The Dox, was founded by friends from Sacramento, California when they were just teens. True to the prolific nature of this fluid form, the group has literally recorded the evolution of the genre with a dozen releases in nine years. The Dox—an abbreviated form of Goondox and a reference to the 1985 cult classic, “The Goonies”—feature a sound that embraces East, West and South Coast styles, making certain that just one never defines them.

Part beat mixing and overdubbing, part rhythmic rap and funk shout-out, The Dox’s music has a stripped down underground vibe at its core. With the group’s street-cred edge always front and center, their deft blend of both independent and mainstream hip-hop influences ensure a level of accessibility to those outside of the urban base camp. The Dox are storytellers, giving voice to fans from all backgrounds, with their uncensored and uncompromising truth of the moment.

The Dox members, Styll and Graphk first worked together professionally in III Squad. Cash the Freshman then made it a trio upon his discharge from the U.S. Army. The trio soon changed their name to The Dox and became part of Seattle’s 2006 “Bay Area Bash” and later, the 2009 “And 1: Ball 4 Real Tour” where they performed with such acts as The Jacka, Luni Coleone, T-Nutty, and Celski and Killa Keise (Rest in Peace). The Dox used these tours to establish a core following, ultimately selling 75,000 independently-produced CDs in the process.

With an astounding 12 releases to the group’s credit (and a new one on the way), The Dox’s catalogue includes: The Money Train LP (2004); West Coast 4 Dummies (2006); I Am Sac (2008); How ‘Bout ‘Dat Vol.1: on da clock (2009); UnorthaDox (2011); Freshman LP (2011); The Stainless Project (2011); To Whom It May Concern (2012); Saclanta (2012); #RealChat Vol. 1 (2013); Ya Favorites Favorite (2013) and Outer Limits (2013).

The group’s tracks always fuse street-smart hooks with complex wordplay that tell of life’s ‘pain and gain.’ Standouts include: “Turn It Up,” a beat-heavy everybody-get-up-and-feel-good cut with a hypnotic vocal by producer Finguz; “Evo,” a trunk-banger that puts these 4G rappers in the same league as the once “it” phone; “Land Hoe” a self-proclaimed “ghetto rules of engagement” song dedicated to their girl groupies; “Home Sweet Home,” a sobering look into The Dox’s hometown of Sacramento and its the rampant crime; ”Asapolis” a striking message of monetary urgency with its world-beat; “Come Get It,” a smooth and sexed-up anthem; “Get It On The Floor,” a double-entendre bounce track; and “Can I Hit It Like This,” a raw-sex chant that is a must-have for any serious collector of The Dox’s music.
