Lyrics

[00:05.416] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[00:07.418] Throw your hands in the air
[00:08.836] And do it for your block (um)
[00:10.702] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[00:12.721] Throw your hands in the air
[00:14.035] And please don't stop (um)
[00:15.980] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[00:18.614] (Tic toc, you don't stop...)
[00:21.161] {DoItAll} Tic toc, this is how we rock
[00:23.202] We're those same (um) brothers
[00:24.718] Who brought you "Chief Rocka”
[00:25.693] Now, um, underground's my style
[00:27.318] To this I have vows, and I swear to my god
[00:29.861] I'll always rock a crowd
[00:30.949] So (um) peace to my area, N.W.K.
[00:33.009] Which is scarier, so if your on the deals
[00:35.045] Who cares, the more the merrier
[00:36.445] Now right off South Orange on the block of one-nine
[00:39.027] Of course, thirteenth ave is my stomping grounds
[00:41.725] I open up my chest and to my 'hood give my heart
[00:44.319] Cause without the heart then your 'hood falls apart
[00:46.752] So respect to the cement
[00:48.250] The park called "the Corner"
[00:49.597] Cause that's where the DoItAll do was performin'
[00:52.280] Runnin' from the cops, I couldn't be stopped
[00:54.472] Cuz I was jumpin' big gates that connected the blocks
[00:57.173] Now before makin' records, the 'hood was my savior
[00:59.990] But now I'm making tunes
[01:00.975] To make you jam wit 'cha neighbor
[01:03.015] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[01:05.061] Throw your hands in the air
[01:06.381] And do it for your block (um)
[01:08.293] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[01:10.301] Throw your hands in the air
[01:11.667] And please don't stop (um)
[01:13.522] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[01:15.512] Throw your hands in the air
[01:16.852] And represent your block (um)
[01:18.722] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[01:21.343] (Tic toc, you don't stop...)
[01:23.049] {Mr. Funke} Well, I be the funk-ular
[01:24.384] Ultra-funk-ular
[01:25.253] Gamma-funk-ular
[01:26.262] Half you rappers out there
[01:27.265] Couldn't see me with binoculars
[01:28.938] Anyone who thinks he'll take me out
[01:30.387] is just a dreamer. If you think you're the bomb
[01:32.691] Then I'm Hiroshima. When I die,
[01:34.584] I hope they're making records up in heaven
[01:36.522] On a scale of one to ten, I'm like 100-5th-11
[01:39.212] And sticks-and-stones-may-break-my-bones
[01:41.889] But if you ever try to diss the Lords
[01:43.643] Then it's on. I go on beat... off beat...
[01:45.868] Then jump right back on time
[01:46.811] I drop another rhyme and talk about
[01:48.417] your fat ugly mama (EEWWW!)
[01:49.746] M.C.'s cannot rock me, I'm stone-proof
[01:51.846] Me grabbin' the mic is like
[01:53.128] Superman running to a phone booth
[01:55.405] Straight from Martin Luther King Boulevard
[01:57.393] In the heart of Newark, New Jersey
[01:58.723] Make you say "Lord have mercy"
[01:59.950] If you step up in my face then it's do or die
[02:02.865] And I'm gonna make you cry (waaahhhhh!!)
[02:05.891] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[02:07.864] Throw your hands in the air
[02:09.228] And do it for your block (um)
[02:11.122] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[02:13.098] Throw your hands in the air
[02:14.431] And please don't stop (um)
[02:16.318] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[02:18.328] Throw your hands in the air
[02:19.646] And represent your block (um)
[02:21.567] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[02:24.274] (Tic toc, you don't stop...)
[02:26.187] {DoItAll} Well, times have changed
[02:27.704] Not only for the urban but also for suburban
[02:30.081] We get props, we're deservin'
[02:31.635] From black kids to white kids
[02:32.788] I see them bob their heads
[02:34.024] From the blond hair to redhead
[02:35.484] I even seen a dread
[02:36.762] So now it doesn't matter
[02:37.983] As the clock winds down
[02:39.218] With the tic and the toc
[02:40.710] Because they love the sound
[02:42.043] But people 'round your area say you sell out
[02:44.329] Because you sell a million copies
[02:45.795] And your tone goes BAAAAOOWW!
[02:47.335] So do it for yourself, and do it for the 'hood
[02:49.924] But do it from the heart
[02:51.250] Cause that's when it's good
[02:52.526] Now tell me what's gonna happen after the rappin'
[02:54.924] When the clock ticks away
[02:56.252] And ain't nothin' happenin'...
[02:57.611] {Mr. Funke} I remember way back in the days
[02:59.593] On my block
[03:00.204] When the kids used to meet up in the hallway
[03:02.231] And rock on Martin Luther King's boulevard
[03:04.975] With P.C., wise, Easy Ed
[03:06.793] And my brother hard Bernard
[03:08.032] Used to hit the ill rhymes from the head
[03:10.217] While I'd hit the beat on the wall
[03:11.824] Until my hands turned red
[03:13.209] You had the Shorty two MC's, the Educated Three
[03:16.135] I got to give them props for helping me be me
[03:18.412] Now I'm the one who's educated
[03:20.110] I suffered but I made it
[03:21.362] I only write rhymes that will be appreciated
[03:23.937] No matter how large I get, the fire still burns
[03:26.550] Cause from the 'hood I came
[03:27.615] And to the 'hood I must return
[03:29.615] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[03:31.585] Throw your hands in the air
[03:32.986] And do it for your block (um)
[03:34.882] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[03:36.890] Throw your hands in the air
[03:38.203] And please don't stop (um)
[03:40.115] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[03:42.049] Throw your hands in the air
[03:43.370] And represent your block (um)
[03:45.310] Tic toc, this is how we rock
[03:47.981] (Tic toc, you don't stop...)
