lyrics

Let's stop for a second
And riddle a pause
To dream a dream of
A machine with a cause
To rock the house
To get you moving your feet
Zilla rock the mic
Patches bust the beats

One goal: to get y'all on the floor
To hear the cheers, jeers, chants for more
To feel the heat
Perchance a flow
Bassline thumping
On with the show

Now bounce with me
Bounce with me
If you feel the rhythm
If you never take a chance
You'll never get what you've been given
Come on bounce with me
Bounce with me
Hit it one more time
I need to feel its touch
I need to make this pulse mine

Fire it up x12

People ask me "Zilla, how'd you get so rough?
Dropping rhymes, doing lines, all the superstar stuff?"
I say CT's what made me tough.
Think about it for a minute, bottle it up

'Cause see, CT weren't so bad for me
A lotta' folks got it off much worse than me
A lotta' people rock the mic much harder than me
Frontalot, Chris, Lars, N-E-R-D
Still, I try to rumble tumble shake, break the scene
Still people ask "Who's Makeshift Machine?"
I'm used to that
I don't take it to heart
'Cause I love the look
Every time I start to say:

I love the vibe I'm getting
Like we can bounce in here
So I say saddle up to your baby
Give a whisper in her ear

Fire it up x12

You keep it flowing back to us...

We took the pause
We traded breath for grace
In the end it was lost
To the depth of space
Or maybe hell's where it's at
If we're cool with that
We can resign to reside where our bodies collide
Into a beautiful crash
All the sparks, pizazz
Amid storm and water
Perseverance was dashed
But look at me, Zilla sidetracked again!
Random bits and facts make a story - not a man

Okay, enough chatter
Let's get to it
If you wanna' roll a stone
Gotta' push to do it
Gotta' put a little more backbone into it
If you wanna' show you mean it
Get the urge to prove it
Put a little more step into your groove
If you wanna' show what you can do
You need to step
One two
Back back again
Up up down down
Left right, again
Don't you figure the rest
Left right, again
Let the rhythm B-A way to start again
Deliver the prize, bring it home tonight
You'll only get the chance one in every thirty lives

Fire it up x12
