I rise as day breaks
Clouds hide the sun’s rays

Quick sand and mistakes

Smash walls to get through

I fight the good fight

Even on the bad days

It’s darkest before light

I’m gonna push through

You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey

They pushed that girl in front of the train

Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – The Message

My radio, believe me, I like it loud I’m the man with a box that can rock the crowd….

Suckas on my jock when I walk down the block I really don’t care if you’re jealous or not ’cause I make the songs, you sing along And your radio’s def when my record’s on…

LL Cool J♦ I Can’t Live Without My Radio

Keep ticking and tocking

Working all around the clock

Everybody just rock and don’t stop it

Gotta rock it, don’t stop
