We can't put up audio of From the Inside Out due to copyright issues, but here are the lyrics if you want to beat-box it in the privacy of your own home.

We've also got the school pledge of Flemington Public School for your inspiration.

CHORUS:
From the inside out, we came to show you what it's really all about.
Without opportunity, there's no unity.
We came to represent for our community.

Verse # 1 - Andrew Cox ("Jaydamann")

I've been here since 89',
7 Flemington,
Back when them
Winters were cold just like in Edmonton.
Stayed with my brethren,
Needed some food, grandma would let 'em in.
A lot of values were taught, that's why we're better men.
March Break, house leagues, summertime barbeques.
Do I stay, do I go,
Why do I gotta choose?
Yeah I got a lot to lose,
More than they're showing on the news,
See I'm an entrepreneur,
So I got different views.
But this will always be my home and I'll be here until it's gone.
And I hear the days near,
That's why I wrote this song.
Reasons, hope they're right not wrong.
I just hope we'll get along,
In the new Jungle,
So my children's memories are fond.

CHORUS:
From the inside out, we came to show you what it's really all about.
Without opportunity, there's no unity.
We came to represent for our community.

Verse # 2 - Nicolas Fraser ("Sinotra")

Inside out, outside in
Lookin' out my window
Dreamin' wishin'
Rap these words
Stop, Look, Listen
Now I'm gonna give you my rendition.
I remember Mama letting me roam
Puppy love, frozen tag
All of us getting along
Hopscotch basketball British
Get in my zone
Home alone
Growin' up had some baby
Do's and don'ts
Cops cruise and coast
Run move elope
It's hard to have faith
Without having hope
Some drink or smoke
Me, I feel I won't
Set sail I hope
Red light, green light
Time to go

CHORUS:
From the inside out, we came to show you what it's really all about.
Without opportunity, there's no unity.
We came to represent for our community.

Verse # 3 - Charles Williams ("Mayhem Morearty")

So much I experienced,
It's hard to say in rhymes.
As a young black male
Tryin' to stay alive.
Lawrence Heights
All day and night
A lot of single mothers
But they still raised us right.
To the sound of gunshots
We desensitize.
The whole hood cried
When Paul Watson & Britz died.
Where we live is prime real estate.
That's why they want to take
Down the buildings and
Put condos in their place.
For that paper chase,
We're all in the race.
On your mark, set, go.
Trying to finish first place.
Looking for a brighter future
Through church faith.
For better or worse,
This is my birth place.

CHORUS:
From the inside out, we came to show you what it's really all about.
Without opportunity, there's no unity.
We came to represent for our community.

I pledge today to do my best
In reading, math and all the rest.
I promise to obey the rules
In my class and in the school.
I'll respect myself and others too.
I'll expect the best in all I do.
I'm here to learn all I can
To try my best and be all I am.
