Record Keeps Spinning Songtext
von LPG

In the same vein as a broken record
I skip along trying to get over just to complete the song
And such is life, broken needles and broken dreams
Breakdowns breaking up the monotony of life things
And it seem like I′m spinning, out of control spinning
Nowhere to go spinning, trying to get it straight
Skip back to where I started, that's what I hate
Just trying to rock the crowd before I′m six feet deep in the crate
At the same time stay out the spotlight
Cause in this war I seen it get so hot it warped even the hardcore
Pressure from the platinum distorts their appearance And whole approach to the game so I stick to the simple things
Pens, pads, heart, mic
Words, family, rhyme, fights
And with those things I rock the party
Me and the crowd a perfect match
Got an itch that only Christ the DJ could scratch
But the needle dig deep, got scars to prove it
Battle scars, just look at me you can see I've been through it
And it don't stop, I live for it, I will go on
And won′t quit until the police break it up or the break of dawn

As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
If hip-hop′s a culture, then hip-hop is living
That should be a given, nowadays it isn't
If hip-hop′s a culture, then hip-hop is living
As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
You can be down with this culture and still be a Christian
That should be a given, nowadays it isn't
Hip-hop′s just a culture, Chris Jon is living


33 And a third revolutions per
Minute, infinite words when spinning I'm heard
Crackling in my old age grappling
With being replaced by a new wave, a new rave
A new stage show, but artists don′t know this
In a live performance I'll wax a show disc
And DAT machines I'll shape shift to guillotines
To stay ahead of the pace while you try to locate your place
In this business I was here when it began
I was here before your pens could only speak about your Benz
Before your friends was only down cause you had ends
Before the content of your cuts sent politicians in a frenzy
I came in sleeves so tricks was bound to follow
And I left them crates for the ride alongside breaks
And when I pulled out from the rest and I′m placed atop
I′m itching for the yes y'all and pressing the start/stop
And when I turn I yearn for blaring out them classics
CD′s can't see these and tapes can never catch it
I′m magic man the earth is spinning on my axis
I run circles 'round these plastics ′til I stutter for the scratches

As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
If hip-hop's a culture, then hip-hop is living
That should be a given, nowadays it isn't
If hip-hop′s a culture, then hip-hop is living
As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
You can be down with this culture and still be a Christian
That should be a given, nowadays it isn′t
Hip-hop's just a culture, Chris Jon is living

Yeah, I guess it′s time, I could see it on his face
He turns around quick and he heads for his crates
It's about to be on, sorry it′s too late
I guess he wants to take this party to another place
I got the left on lock and Jonny on the right
1200 Spinning at maximum velocity
The party at maximum capacity, maxed out for the night
Dax and Jonny B, living the life
And I'm on the right and I got the light shining bright
He′s looking for the mark to mix in the kicks in
And when it's in this place bound to get their hands up
When he throw me on we in sync and we on time
And it mind boggles how he juggle Dax and mine
And don't skip and don′t trip cause it eclipse your paused mix
And it been the same since this game started been winning
And through LPG, the hands of God, they keep me spinning

As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
If hip-hop′s a culture, then hip-hop is living
That should be a given, nowadays it isn't
If hip-hop′s a culture, then hip-hop is living
As the record keeps spinning, the world keeps spinning
You can be down with this culture and still be a Christian
That should be a given, nowadays it isn't
Hip-hop′s just a culture, Chris Jon is living
