Tryna get through this crowded street cause you're everything I used to dream If the future's what you givin me then I'll give you all my energy (Verse 1) Cause I'd never see it from your perspective I guess it's part of a being a man Suppression is every man's blemish in relationships and you know me babe, I'm ProActiv in tribulations Yes, please let me make it up I don't work at Sephora so I'm not making this up, but I'm sorry Blame it on me tonight, nope, I don't want to fight Let's just blame it on the boogie and dance in the moonlight, alright? See girl, the way the Jackson 5 needed Michael Jackson (yeah) that's the way I need you (yeah yeah yeah) you know? (uh huh) I mean, a DJ Maxie instrumental send me to a new dimension (m hm) and your face does the same thing for me too (yup, that's right) listen (yep) They say relationships is about how you both get up from bouts How you talk about the downs and the ups too so if we gotta be up at 2 AM then damn if it means I'll keep you, let's do it (Chorus) Tryna get through this crowded street (yeah) Made you cry, don't wanna repeat You're not the only one who feels defeat (uh huh) cause we do it to ourselves you see? Tryna get through this crowded street cause you're everything I used to dream If the future's what you givin me then I'll give you all my energy I'm tryna find you (excuse me, excuse me, hey!)

(Intro) DJ Maxie Good Fighter Remix and Dave the Fave Ikuzo! (DTF) What does it take to be great like Ryu? Sittin around playin games on Wii U? No, no; if it ain't Wii Fit U then I pray for you more than the deacons do on the weekends, fool That's when we do nothin but sit around and play beats to awaken the good writer inside and ignite the fire with Maxie beats all up in my mind (MCMD) Don't mind if your mind gets blown I'm like Zangief when you hand me a microphone I handle the beat My mandible hit harder than the hands of the street fighters I spit the words of a deep writer Right around the time that you figure me out I'm switching up my system cause I'm sick of knocking kittens up Facing what your chicken of was a bad decision huh? You're slowing down, we picking up You recognize the wisdom of... (DTF) The G.O.O.D. writers - getting out our dreams, I mean what would I do without a team that sees the world as a canvas I rap this from the West - Northwest that is but not related to the Wests Yes it's the double A: the Amish and Asian sippin bubblay and I said the world's ours to paint so we do it up red - very red, like the color on their face (MCMD) Yeah I read in a book once Just once then I dropped that shit man I write the apocalypse My pen's made out of awesomeness What the hell I need your words for? Welcome to the word war one I win, every track is a diamond so I bend light to defy them Like some dude said, unless you wanna be dead, greet every enemy with a Hadouken (DTF) Shoryuken - that's what I say when they ask "can I try to be a rapper today?" Can anybody endure anymore? What happened to the dude from a week before? I plead for more dedication with no patience, you just can't attain the greatest so we make this like it was the end If I am Ryu, then MCMD is Ken (now) (Chorus) Throw your fists in the air Shoryu like you just don't care and if you're down to rock, everybody Sagat Somebody say, Oh yayer (now) Throw your fists in the air Shoryu like you just don't care and if you're down to rock, everybody Sagat Somebody say, Oh yayer (MCMD) What does it take to create this? Many rapper have been crushed by the weight of this greatness The basics, son - get the basics done if you ever want a beat from Maxie, umm but that will be the day That's like going after Dave in a Capcom game - man there's just no way It's just insane; Dave will eat you up like your brains were made out of house chow mein (DTF) You don't want it with the kid MANG they said I couldn't do it but now they say DANG How'd you do it Dave? Back in the days you would never say nay to games but today, I'm hoarse on stage cause I rap like every day, no games I guess I'm coming of age I'm running a maze with dead ends at every corner but I'm not dead til the end this is just the first quarter (MCMD) Yet it's fifty cents if you want up next Complex sets - we conquer with no contest Yup, it's been done before but we came on the scene like HP and Dumbledore, whoa More power than we could have ever of needed Every rapper that we came across - defeated Writers and fighters: we formed an allegiance It's two gents who sick like they're spittin diseases (DTF) Me and 'em on ya Them being all the real talent from Idaho, no faux paus We say hola...then au revoir! We can't afford to fizz out like cola so we off the sofa to make the most of so many tools in life placed close to us all Ask yourself of your desires, then pursue it with the spirit of a good fighter (MCMD) It all sounds so simple, don't it? A pencil to wield and you feel like a worthy opponent but only the toughest survive dedicated to serve and divide if you're worthy, don't be in a hurry to die Rest in beats: R.I.B. You face defeat unless you seek to be a part of the team I mean if you want to be part of this scene, you better learn to come against me (Chorus) Throw your fists in the air Shoryu like you just don't care and if you're down to rock, everybody Sagat Somebody say, Oh yayer (now) Throw your fists in the air Shoryu like you just don't care and if you're down to rock, everybody Sagat Somebody say, Oh yayer (Outro) Rock, rock on Dave, rock, rock on, ha MC, rock, rock on Dedicated, rock, rock on Maxie, rock, rock on Gem state, rock, rock on DJs, rock, rock on MCs, rock, rock on We don't stop (yeah)

(Intro) Remember? (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!) Yeah, yeah, yeah Ah hah, ha (summertime) Let's go back (Chorus - Leta) Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind (Verse 1) Here it is, a groove slightly transformed Just a bit of a break from the norm Just a lil somethin to break the monotony of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be a little bit out of control - it's cool to dance but what about a groove that soothes and moves romance? Give me a soft, subtle mix, and if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it, and think of the summers of the past Adjust the bass and let the alpine blast Pop in Dedicated Servers and ride around til right about around five then we round up the fellas and ladies too and nope, I don't wanna hear any maybes, duke It's summertime and I know you got nothing to do so let's groove like the MIBs do, ha - Just bounce with me, just bounce with me just bounce with me, just bounce, come on Just slide with me, just slide with me just slide with me, just slide, come on Take a walk with me, just walk with me Take a walk with me, come on, now make your neck work (yeah, ha) Now make your neck work (ah ha, ah ha) Now make your neck work to this Maxie beat, yes indeed (Chorus - Leta) (Summertime) Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind x2 (Verse 2) School is out and it's sort of a bust but back then I didn't really know what it was, but now I see what happened, it's the way that people respond to summer madness The weather is hot and girls dress less checkin out the fellas to tell em who's best Ridin around in your Jeep or your Benzos, or in your Nissans sittin on Lorenzos Back in Boise we be out in the park; Ann Morrison, that's where everybody go Guys out huntin and girls doin likewise honkin at the honey in front of you with the light eyes She turn around to see what you beepin at It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac and with a pen and pad, I compose this rhyme to hit you and to get you equipped for the summertime It's no other time Wish it could be infinite like the digit before number nine but like the sunshine, when it reclines at dusk, I'm counting down the minutes before the sunrise but for now, let us unwind Enjoy the vibes and a glass of red wine Seventy degrees and it's only nighttime Is this real life? I think I might cry Now everybody dance til the sun come up, come on, come on (Chorus - Leta) (Summertime) Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind Summer, summer, summertime So just sit back and unwind x2 (Outro) Just bounce with me, just bounce with me just bounce with me, just bounce, come on Just slide with me, just slide with me just slide with me, just slide, come on Take a walk with me, just walk with me Take a walk with me, come on Take a walk with me (ah hah, let's go) Let's take a walk...

(Verse 1) This Dave the Fave and I'm back again cause I lost the game but no pain, no gain like no Rogaine and ain't no playin when Maxie beats playin (ha!) Do it like Soul Train - form a line, Dance Apocalyptic like Monae, okay So lovesick, gonna need a copay but I'm broke so anybody wanna donate? Cause I ain't bout to sell cocaine but if I need to to buy her jewels, then O.K. K.O. is the reverse of O.K. and that's what happened when I met her at her home base Maybe it was the lo mein - no way It was defly the way she would say (yup yup) I thought she said yes to a date but she was actually kicking me in the face, but it's not about how many times you fall It's about if you get up at all That's the mentality of a street fighter, and reality Some fight in the streets for fun, some for ones, some for attention Some fight for forgotten ones above but me, I fight for love and it might be dumb but I wanna get me some, um, by sum I meant one plus one - ahh, who am I kidding? Let's have some fun (Chorus) B-boys, b-girls (get on the floor, get on the floor) DJs, MCs (let's get it right) Gem state to the world (get on the floor, get down) Get on the floor, get down (just work it, just work it) (Verse 2) Chillin out in China, still tryna find the one with the eyes that kill Guess I'm dead already so I'll just rock steady and bebop to this breakbeat (ah!) I was shellshocked the first time I seen her kick, and her kicks, thighs thick as wall of bricks and her aura commanded respect from fashion to character - all with finesse, and when you meet someone like this doesn't it make you wanna shout from the depths - WOO Chun-Li - I just wanna love you to death! (Chorus) B-boys, b-girls (get on the floor, get on the floor) DJs, MCs (let's get it right) Gem state to the world (get on the floor, get down) Get on the floor, get down (just work it, just work it) Just work Just work Just work Just work it baby Everybody come and clap your hands Don't just sit there come get up and dance Just do it, there's nothing to it Get up and do it now! (Verse 3) Chun-Li, you got it going on thank you for listening to my song Eyes on you, nobody but you Achoo - who got me feeling lovesick? That's you I can make you laugh like Shaq Fu, make you the best food - crab rangoon, be your guardian - Rocket Raccoon You mean the world - the galaxy to me (that's true) Ask whoever you want, when it comes to girls, you're the only one I talk up Let's take it to the top, love, huh Chun-Li, you gotta put me on Chun-Li, I said you gotta put me on 16x

about

The music of Street Fighter has always had an influence in my life. The original compositions always made for great workout music, and remixes made them playable in the car with the windows down.

I stumbled upon "Bird Kick Flow" on YouTube - an instrumental remake of Chun-Li's stage, created by a talented game music composer named Maxie. I was instantaneously inspired to write, and the same thing happened when I discovered his other instrumental remakes for Street Fighter.

"Street Writer" is a small collection of the verses I wrote over Maxie's Street Fighter remixed instrumentals. With the permission of Maxie, this concept album serves as a fun project for me to exercise my lyricism and to just have fun, with vocal contributions from the ever-graceful Leta Neustaedter, and of course, my partner-in-rhyme, MCMD.

Mega thanks to Maxie, Matt, Leta, and all the fans who have and continue to embrace this project. I had a blast creating it, and I hope you have a blast listening to it.

As always, thank you for listening :)
