Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Aw yeah
Hello world
Peace and love
I wish you the best
And now for the next
Coming to your mind
Live and direct from the Ether's
Now it's all in your speakers
Down to your sneakers
[Verse 2]
Aw, now as we prepare for our lift off
You need only two things to direct your course
Your ears and your soul
I bring to you the Robert Glasper experiment
Experimentation for meditation
[Verse 3]
Aw, back to where we were now
I bring to you the Rob, Chris, Jerry, KC, RCDC, Walk on
(This is it)
[Verse 4]
(Can you hear me?)
One, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me
One, one, one, one, two, one, two, two, two
Let me get a little more on my left in my heads
Right here just a little more
Just a little more
Two, two, two, two, hey, hey
Something, something, something, something
Something like
Check one, two
Mic check, one, two, mic check, one, two
Microphone check, check, one, two
Two, one
Save the bass
[Verse 5]
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
