(yo)



watch as the room rocks

metally moonwalk

mix media slang banging in your boombox

verbal violence

lyrical stylist

in a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish

You can't 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 it some of you were getting help with your rhymes

you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines

and rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer

'cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years

but now they're gettig randomly mixed-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 a rhyme like this?

bring it to you every time like this

who can rock a 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

it sounded like the only hip-hop you heard was Top 40 (Top 40)

and the record companies completely 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 with a fabulous battle catalyst

its taken decades for emcee's to establish this

you're 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 carefully an attack

and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body

the question must be asked...



(Chorus)
