Lyrics:
yo)
watch as the room rocks
menatlly moonwalk
mix media slang banging in your boombox
verbal violence
lyrical stylist
in a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
you cant tempt me with rhymes that are empty
rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
with your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
and the DJ in the group just for credibility
i heard that some of you you were getting help with your rhymes
you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
but now they're gettig randomly mix-and-matched up
all after a fast buck
and all the tracks suck
so how does it stack up? none of it's real
you wanna be an emcee you gotta study the skill
Chorus:
who can rock and rhyme like this?
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock and rhyme like this?
step, step up, step, step up
so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
but mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
with the tendancy to make up stories
soundin' like the only hip-hop you heard is Top 40 (Top 40)
and your record companies comletely missin' it
and all the kids are dissin' it for not bein' legitimate
so in a battle you can't hack it/react with whack shit
and get smacked with verbal backflips
get your ass kicked by Fabulous Battle Catalyst
its taken decades for emcee's to establish this
your new to hip-hop and welcome if your serious
but not on the mic- leave that to the experienced
(spoken)
using waves of sound, the true master paralyses his opponent,
making him vulnerable to attack
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(spoken)
after years of painstaking research
by the world's leading sound scientists
we here at the Sound Institute have invented
a reliable audio weapon system
actual movement of musical sound in space is
used to catapult an attack
and neutralize the cellular strucature of the human body
so the question must be asked:
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(spoken)
step up to the microphone
and you do it like this
and you do it like this
step up to the microphone
and you do it like this
step up to the microphone
and you do it like this
step up to the microphone
and you do it like thiiiiiiisssss
watch as the room rocks
menatlly moonwalk
mix media slang banging in your boombox
verbal violence
