[Verse 1]
I was raised by the soundwaves, cuttin’ through the static
Needles on the vinyl, made the cypher cinematic
Breakbeats boomin’, Herc laid the foundation
Before the first rhyme, there was DJ innovation

From the BX to the West, it’s the culture we inherit
Turntables talk back, scratchin’ through the merit
Before I touched a mic, before the words hit the page
The DJ laid the path, set the booth into a blazе

Mixmaster, wax flipper, loop finder, bеat shifter
Back when the crates held the weight of a scripture
Guru had Preem, Eric had Rakim
Now it’s Pro Tools, but we still honor them

[Hook]
(Yeah, yeah) Behind the boards, the hands unseen
Makin’ gods outta mortals, manifestin’ dreams
No decks, no set, no vibe, no scene
You need a DJ to book, make the party supreme

Hire a DJ, book a DJ when the mic go live
They the architects of sound, keep the rhythm alive

[Verse 2]
Jam Master Jay, paved the way
Then they took him from the game but his echoes still play
Who else flipped cuts, made the crossfade divine?
Premo got the city vibin’ one drum at a time
Backspinnin’ history, mixin’ destiny
From radio sets to spinnin’ symphonies
Funk Flex bomb drops, Clue with the exclusives
Drama had Gangsta Grillz, shhh—conducive

Runnin’ with the legends, but they names in the shadows
Make a rapper sound colossal, shape the highs and the lows
A DJ breathe life, set the pace and the tone
You ain’t really rockin’ unless they put you in the zone

[Hook]
(Yeah, yeah) Behind the boards, the hands unseen
Makin’ gods outta mortals, manifestin’ dreams
No decks, no set, no vibe, no scene
You need a DJ to book, make the party supreme

Hire a DJ, book a DJ when the mic go live
They the architects of sound, keep the rhythm alive

[Bridge]
If you ever felt the bass hit
Felt the needle on the groove make your soul flip
Then you know, ain't no legend ever stood alone
A DJ made ‘em kings before they took the throne

[Outro]
So next time they ask, who set the scene?
Who broke the silence, who built the dream?
Tell ‘em it’s the ones behind the decks, unseen
Makin’ history spin in infinite routine
