(chorus)
Hey sound man turn me up man let it surround them 
Right here right now 

It's up to him to mix me in with my vocal blend from start to end 
No party crashin me and my fellow mc's we keep it smashin 
Enter the place and watch the crowd start reactin 
With the all shoot back up back up Mr. Sound Man turn my track up track up 
Even though I might be the act to open up 
Show me love dear friend please don't jack me up 

(chorus)

Sound man I trust you 
It's a must to hop on your toys and raise the noise up 
To a volume that makes the people want to swoon free 
Up the music to consume the room 
Cuz when it comes down to it 
All that we've got is MC's and DJ's 
And whether or not the man on the boards can afford to feel friendly 
To every mc never make the sound man your enemy 

(chorus)

Big headed mc's and uptight bands all over the land 
They're ticking off the sound man 
Ego's on ten but in the same trend 
You've got sound folk who provoke and do it to them 
Not to mention the security guard who tries hard to be hard 
And takes his job a little too far 
And I understand your need for attitude
But I don't see why we need to spare the gratitude 
So I'll be the first to say job well done 
Thank you sound man you're second to none

I also speak on behalf of the DJ 
And on that note I feel we've earned the right to say

(chorus)
