The Day J.S.M Stopped the Movie

High-gain guitars and distorted bass drive alongside punchy live drums fused with thunderous 808 kicks and sharp hi-hats, Verses pulse with MPC sample chops, scratchy Technics cuts, and three-MC rapid bars, Pre-chorus hits with staccato funk guitar and tight rap, Chorus erupts into six-voice female harmonies soaring over the heavy rhythm section, amplifying the rap rock intensity

[Intro]
DJ Smokin Joe
(uh-huh)
Let me tell you ’bout J.S.M Studio
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Back in the day
Man
I’m barely afloat
J.S.M Studio toss a lifeline to Joe
He was goin down bad
Label lights goin dim
Then this kid with the cruddy raps bet it all on a whim

Studio cold
Rent late
Dust in the vents
We was punchin in hope
Tryna stretch out cents
But that hunger in his voice?
Had a crack in it
Truth
Like the paint on the wall
Like the roof missin screws

[Chorus]
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
Stop a whole movie just to ride for his friends
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
From a broke little room to a legend in the end
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
If he got one shot
Then we all get a chance
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
Yeah
He saved Smokin Joe when the world left me bent (hey!)

[Verse 2]
He flew me out to L.A
I’m clutchin my bag
First time on that runway
Heart stuck in a snag
He shootin some film
Big lights
Big set
I’m standin there thinkin
“We ain’t even there yet”

We cut four
Five tracks
No sleep
Just talk
Every take
Every scratch
Had a chip in the chalk
And the moment that I knew
How heavy his name rang
In the middle of a scene
Director yell “Bang—”

He said “Hold up
Cut
I got Joe in the room
We gon finish these joints
Then I’m back to the boom”
Whole crew just stared
Cameras chillin on stands
He chose a verse over fame
Chose his fam over fans (yeah)

[Chorus]
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
Stop a whole movie just to ride for his friends
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
From a broke little room to a legend in the end
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
If he eat
We eat
That was always the plan
That’s J.S.M
That’s J.S.M
Man
He saved Smokin Joe when the door hit the slam (ooh)

[Bridge]
Who pause a picture
For a kid from the cold?
Who trade a big budget
For a sixteen he told?
J.S.M did
J.S.M proved
Real ones change lives
When the cameras move

DJ Smokin Joe

DJ Smokin Joe
(uh-huh)

[Verse 3]
Let me tell you 'bout my old man
Friday nights in this small town
Me and him in his pickup truck
Boots on gravel, sun goin down
Mama waitin on the front porch
Cold sweet tea in her hand
That's the simple life we lived in
That's how I grew up a man

[Chorus]
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
Stopped the whole world just to stay for his kin
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
From a broke-down dream to a legend within
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
When he had one shot, we all got a chance
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe

[Verse 4]
Summer nights on that porch swing
Radio cracklin through the dark
He was leavin home for better days
But mama said "Don't lose your heart"
He built it up from nothin
Dust and sweat and time
Every scar on his hands told a story
Every line on his face, a sign

[Chorus]
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
Stopped the whole world just to ride for his friends
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
From a small-town kid to a legend in the end
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
If he made it big, then we all made it too
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe

[Bridge]
Who'd pause the picture
For a boy from the cold?
Who'd trade the big lights
For a story untold?
Smokin Joe did
Smokin Joe proved
Real ones lift up
When the world moves

[Final Chorus]
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
Stopped the whole world just to ride for his friends
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
From the front porch dreams to a legend in the end
That's DJ Smokin Joe
That's DJ Smokin Joe
When he got one shot, we all got a chance
That's DJ Smokin Joe
Yeah, that's DJ Smokin Joe
