al: Rapper' s Delight |
| [00:34.84] |
I said a hip hop, |
| [00:36.29] |
Hippie to the hippie, |
| [00:38.04] |
The hip, hip a hop, and you don' t stop, a rock it |
| [00:39.79] |
To the bang bang boogie, say, up jump the boogie, |
| [00:41.55] |
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat. |
| [00:43.62] |
Now, what you hear is not a test I' m rappin' to the beat, |
| [00:47.73] |
And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet. |
| [00:52.09] |
See, I am Wonder Mike, and I' d like to say hello, |
| [00:56.35] |
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown, |
| [00:58.78] |
The purple and yellow. But first, I gotta |
| [01:00.80] |
Bang bang, the boogie to the boogie, |
| [01:03.01] |
Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie, |
| [01:05.52] |
Let' s rock, you don' t stop, |
| [01:07.27] |
Rock the rhythm that' ll make your body rock. |
| [01:09.52] |
Well so far you' ve heard my voice but I brought two friends along, |
| [01:13.47] |
And the next on the mic is my man Hank, |
| [01:15.82] |
C' mon, Hank, sing that song! |
| [01:17.58] |
Check it out, I' m the CASA, the NOVA, |
| [01:20.08] |
And the rest is FLY, |
| [01:22.23] |
You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix, |
| [01:24.54] |
And these reasons I' ll tell you why. |
| [01:26.49] |
You see, I' m six foot one, and I' m tons of fun |
| [01:28.70] |
When I dress to a T, |
| [01:30.69] |
You see, I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali |
| [01:33.21] |
and I dress so viciously. |
| [01:35.22] |
I got bodyguards, I got two big cars |
| [01:37.63] |
That definitely ain' t the wack, |
| [01:39.53] |
I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunfoofed Cadillac. |
| [01:44.22] |
So after school I take a dip in the pool, |
| [01:46.07] |
Which is really on the wall, |
| [01:48.18] |
I got a colour TV, so I can see |
| [01:50.50] |
The Knicks play basketball. Hear me talk about |
| [01:53.00] |
Checkbooks, credit cards, mo' money |
| [01:54.65] |
Than a sucker could ever spend, |
| [01:56.80] |
But I wouldn' t give a sucker or a bum form the Rucker |
| [01:59.12] |
Not a dime ' til I made it again. |
| [02:00.67] |
Everybody go, Hotel, Motel, Whatcha gonna do today? Say what? |
| [02:05.44] |
' Cos I' m a get a fly girl, |
| [02:06.75] |
Gonna get some spank n' drive off in a def OJ. Everybody go |
| [02:09.39] |
Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn, |
| [02:13.92] |
Say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend. |
| [02:18.28] |
Master Gee! My mellow! |
| [02:20.38] |
It' s on to you, so whatcha gonna do? |
| [02:22.43] |
Well, it' s on' n' n' on' n' on on' n' on, |
| [02:24.78] |
The beat don' t stop until the break of dawn. |
| [02:26.73] |
I said MAS, TER, a G with a double E, |
| [02:30.84] |
I said I go by the unforgettable name |
| [02:33.14] |
Of the man they call the Master Gee. |
| [02:34.89] |
Well, my name is known all over the world |
| [02:37.44] |
By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls. |
| [02:39.79] |
I' m goin' down in history |
| [02:41.69] |
As the baddest rapper there ever could be. |
| [02:44.04] |
Now I' m feelin' the highs and you' re feelin' the lows, |
| [02:46.19] |
The beat starts gettin' into your toes |
| [02:48.29] |
You start poppin' your fingers and stompin' your feet |
| [02:50.34] |
And movin' your body while while you' re sitting in your seat |
| [02:52.69] |
And then damn! Ya start doin' the freak, I said |
| [02:54.89] |
Damn! Right outta your seat |
| [02:56.84] |
Then you throw your hands high in the air, |
| [02:59.10] |
Ya rockin' to the rhythm, shake your derriere |
| [03:01.30] |
Ya rockin' to the beat without a care, |
| [03:03.05] |
With the sureshot MCs for the affair. |
| [03:05.31] |
Now, I' m not as tall as the rest of the gang |
| [03:07.45] |
But I rap to the beat just the same. |
| [03:09.46] |
I got a little face, and a pair of brown eyes |
| [03:11.86] |
All I' m here to do, ladies, is hypnotize |
| [03:13.91] |
Singin' on' n' n' on' n' on on' n' on, |
| [03:16.17] |
The beat don' t stop until the break of dawn |
| [03:18.03] |
Singin' on' n' n' on' n' on on' n' on, |
| [03:20.37] |
Like a hot buttered pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie |
| [03:22.82] |
Pop da pop pop, don' t you dare stop |
| [03:24.66] |
Come alive y' all, gimme whatcha got |
| [03:26.87] |
I guess by now you can take a hunch |
| [03:29.12] |
And find that I am the baby of the bunch |
| [03:33.40] |
But that' s okay, I still keep in stride, |
| [03:33.17] |
' Cos all I' m here to do is just wiggle your behind |
| [03:35.37] |
Singin' on' n' n' on' n' on on' n' on, |
| [03:37.48] |
The beat don' t stop until the break of dawn. |
| [03:39.53] |
Singin' on' n' n' on' n' on on' n' on, |
| [03:41.78] |
Rock rock, y' all, throw it on the floor |
| [03:43.75] |
I' m gonna freak you here, I' m gona freak you there, |
| [03:45.94] |
I' m gonna move you outta this atmosphere. |
| [03:48.14] |
' Cos I' m one of a kind and I' ll shock your mind |
| [03:50.29] |
I' ll put TNT in your behind. I said |
| [03:52.55] |
One, two, three, four, come on, girls, get on the floor |
| [03:56.71] |
Acome alive, y' all, agimme whatcha got |
| [03:58.98] |
' Cos I' m guaranteed to make you rock |
| [04:01.02] |
I said one, two, three, four, tell me, Wonder Mike |
| [04:04.13] |
What are you waiting for? |
| [04:05.38] |
I said a hip hop, |
| [04:06.67] |
The hippie to the hippie |
| [04:07.73] |
The hip hip a hop, and you don' t stop, a rock it |
| [04:09.72] |
To the bang bang boogie, say up jump the boogie, |
| [04:11.72] |
To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat. |
| [04:13.77] |
A Skiddleebebop, we rock, scooby doo, |
| [04:15.92] |
And guess what, America, we love you |
| [04:17.98] |
' Cos you rocked and a rolled with so much soul, |
| [04:20.23] |
You could rock ' til a hundred and one years old. |
| [04:22.36] |
I don' t mean to brag, I don' t mean to boast, |
| [04:24.56] |
But we like hot butter on our breakfast toast |
| [04:26.86] |
Rock it up, Baby Bubba! |
| [04:28.71] |
Baby Bubba to the boogie da bang bang da boogie |
| [04:31.21] |
To the beat, beat, it' s unique |
| [04:33.02] |
Come on everybody and dance to the beat! |
| [04:53.37] |
A hip hop |
| [04:54.37] |
The hippie to the hippie the |
| [04:55.58] |
Hip hip a hop and you don' t stop, rock it |
| [04:57.58] |
Rock it out, Baby Bubba to the boogie da bang bang |
| [04:59.53] |
The boogie to the boogie, the beat. |
| [05:01.59] |
I said, I can' t wait ' til the end of the week |
| [05:03.79] |
When I' m rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat |
| [05:06.01] |
And I attempt to raise your body heat. |
| [05:08.05] |
Just blow your mind, so you can' t speak |
| [05:10.20] |
And do a thing but arock and shuffle your feet |
| [05:12.31] |
And let it change up to a dance called the freak |
| [05:14.55] |
And when you finally do come into your rhythmic beat, |
| [05:16.60] |
Reast a little while so you don' t get weak. |
| [05:18.81] |
I know a man named Hank |
| [05:20.81] |
He has more rhymes than a serious bank |
| [05:22.99] |
So come on Hank, sing that song, |
| [05:25.00] |
To the rhythm of the boogie, the bang bang da bong! |
| [05:27.29] |
Well, I' m Imp the Dimp, the ladies' pimp, |
| [05:29.35] |
The women fight for my delight. |
| [05:31.55] |
But I' m the grandmaster with the three MCs |
| [05:33.75] |
That shock the house for the young ladies |
| [05:35.71] |
And when you come inside, into the front, |
| [05:38.05] |
You do the freak, spank, and do the bump |
| [05:40.10] |
And when the sucker MC try to prove a point, |
| [05:42.16] |
We' re a treacherous trio, we' re the serious joint! |
| [05:44.36] |
aFrom sun to sun and from day to day |
| [05:46.66] |
I sit down and write a brand new rhyme |
| [05:48.86] |
Because they say that miracles never cease |
| [05:50.91] |
I' ve created a devastating masterpiece |
| [05:52.92] |
I' m gonna rock the mic ' til you can' t resist, |
| [05:55.08] |
Everybody, I say it goes like this |
| [05:57.28] |
Well, I was walking home late one afternoon |
| [05:59.44] |
A reporter stopped me for an interview |
| [06:01.45] |
She said she' s heard stories and she' s heard fables |
| [06:03.59] |
That I' m vicious on the mic and the turntable |
| [06:05.84] |
This young reporter I did adore, |
| [06:07.66] |
So I rocked some vicious rhymes like I never did before |
| [06:10.01] |
She said, " Damn, fly guy, I' m in love with you |
| [06:12.21] |
The Casanova legend must have been true" |
| [06:14.23] |
I said, " By the way, baby, what' s your name?" |
| [06:16.32] |
Said, " I go by name of Lois Lane |
| [06:18.57] |
And you could be my boyfriend, you surely can, |
| [06:20.56] |
Just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman." |
| [06:22.81] |
I said, " He' s a fairy, I do suppose |
| [06:25.01] |
Flyin' through the air in pantyhose |
| [06:27.17] |
He may be very sexy, or even cute, |
| [06:29.17] |
But he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit," |
| [06:31.42] |
I said, " You need a man man who' s got finesse |
| [06:33.84] |
And his whole name across his chest |
| [06:35.63] |
He may be able to fly all through the night, |
| [06:37.99] |
But can he rock a party ' til the early light? |
| [06:40.00] |
He can' t satisfy you with his little worm, |
| [06:42.20] |
But I can bust you out with my super sperm!" |
| [06:44.31] |
I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it. |
| [06:48.25] |
An' I' m here an' I' m there, I' m Big Ban Hank, I' m everywhere |
| [06:52.65] |
Just throw your hands up in the air |
| [06:54.91] |
And party hardy like you just don' t care |
| [06:57.06] |
Let' s do it, don' t stop, y' all, a tick tock, y' all, you don' t stop! |
| [07:01.31] |
Go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today? Say what? |
| [07:05.90] |
I' m gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spank, drive off in a def OJ, |
| [07:09.58] |
Everybody go, " Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn" |
| [07:14.06] |
You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend |
| [07:18.71] |
I say skip, dive, what can I say? |
| [07:20.90] |
I can' t fit ' em all inside my OJ, |
| [07:23.05] |
So I just tak half, and bust ' em out, |
| [07:25.11] |
I give the rest to Master Gee so he can shock the house |
| [07:27.31] |
It was twelve o' clock one Friday night |
| [07:29.31] |
I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right |
| [07:31.62] |
Everybody was dancin' on the floor |
| [07:33.46] |
Doin' all the things they never did before |
| [07:35.67] |
And then this fly girl with a sexy lean |
| [07:37.77] |
She came into the bar, she came into the scene |
| [07:39.98] |
She travelled deeper inside the room |
| [07:42.22] |
All the fellas checked out her white Sassoons |
| [07:44.27] |
She came up to the table, looked into my eyes |
| [07:46.52] |
Then she turned around and shook her behind |
| [07:48.53] |
So I said to myself, it' s time for me to release |
| [07:50.57] |
My vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece |
| [07:52.92] |
And now people in the house, this is just for you |
| [07:54.98] |
A little rap to make you boogaloo |
| [07:57.07] |
Now the group you hear is called Phase Two |
| [07:59.17] |
And let me tell you somethin', we' re a helluva crew |
| [08:01.23] |
Once a week, we' re on the street |
| [08:03.48] |
Just to cut in the jams and look at your feet |
| [08:05.67] |
For you to party, you gotta have the moves, |
| [08:07.83] |
So we' ll get right down and get you a groove |
| [08:10.03] |
For you to dance, you got to be hot |
| [08:12.03] |
So we' ll get right down and make you rock |
| [08:14.13] |
Now the system' s on and the girls are there |
| [08:16.58] |
You definitely have a rockin' affair |
| [08:18.85] |
But let me tell you somethin', there' s still one fact |
| [08:21.05] |
And to have a party, you got to have a rap |
| [08:23.16] |
So when the party' s over, you' re makin' it home, |
| [08:25.27] |
And tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn |
| [08:27.48] |
And while you' re sleepin', you start to dream, |
| [08:29.42] |
And thinkin' how you danced on the disco scene |
| [08:31.67] |
My name appears in your mind, |
| [08:33.82] |
Yeah, a name you know that was right on time |
| [08:35.87] |
It was Phase Two just doin' a do |
| [08:37.92] |
Rockin' you down ' cos you knew we could |
| [08:40.28] |
To the rhythm of the beat that makes you freak, |
| [08:42.17] |
Come alive girls, get on your feet |
| [08:44.13] |
To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat |
| [08:46.52] |
To the double beat beat that makes you freak |
| [08:48.72] |
To the rhythm of the beat that says you go on |
| [08:50.87] |
On' n' on into the break of dawn |
| [08:53.02] |
Now I got a man comin' on right now |
| [08:55.40] |
He' s garuanteed to throw down |
| [08:57.50] |
He goes by the name of Wonder Mike |
| [08:59.37] |
Come on, Wonder Mike, do what you like! |
| [09:01.56] |
I say a can of beer that' s sweeter than honey, |
| [09:03.66] |
Like a millionaire that has no money |
| [09:05.73] |
Like a rainy day that is not wet, |
| [09:08.01] |
Like a gamblin' fiend that does not bet |
| [09:09.97] |
Like Dracula without his fangs, |
| [09:12.27] |
Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang |
| [09:14.31] |
Like collard greens that don' t taste good, |
| [09:16.37] |
Like a tree that' s not made out of wood |
| [09:18.62] |
Like goin' up and not comin' down, |
| [09:20.63] |
Is just like the beat without the sound, no sound |
| [09:22.97] |
To the beat beat, you do the freak |
| [09:25.21] |
Everybody just rock and dance to the beat |
| [09:27.41] |
Have you ever went over a friends house to eat |
| [09:29.67] |
And the food just ain' t no good? |
| [09:31.48] |
The macaroni' s soggy, the peas are mushed, |
| [09:33.92] |
And the chicken tastes like wood |
| [09:35.82] |
So you try to play it off like you think you can |
| [09:37.87] |
By saying that you' re full |
| [09:39.89] |
And then your friend says, " Mama, he' s just being polite |
| [09:42.23] |
He ain' t finished, uhuh, that' s bull!" |
| [09:43.88] |
So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie |
| [09:46.67] |
And you say that you already ate |
| [09:48.52] |
And your friend says " Man, there' s plenty of food" |
| [09:50.88] |
So you pile some more on your plate |
| [09:52.89] |
While the stinky food' s steamin', your mind starts to dreamin' |
| [09:55.18] |
Of the moment that it' s time to leave |
| [09:57.13] |
And then you look at your plate and your chicken' s slowly rottin' |
| [09:59.48] |
Into something that looks like cheese |
| [10:01.23] |
Oh so you say " That' s it, I gotta leave this place |
| [10:03.43] |
I don' t care what these people think, |
| [10:05.65] |
I' m just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous |
| [10:07.84] |
With this ugly food that stinks" |
| [10:09.99] |
So you bust out the door while it' s still closed |
| [10:11.99] |
Still sick from the food you ate |
| [10:13.99] |
And then you run to the store for quick relief |
| [10:16.34] |
From a bottle of Kaopectate |
| [10:18.44] |
And then you call your friend two weeks later |
| [10:20.44] |
To see how he has been |
| [10:22.58] |
And he says, " I understand about the food, |
| [10:24.96] |
Baby Bubba, but we' re still friends" |
| [10:27.16] |
With a hip hop the hippie to the hippie |
| [10:29.21] |
The hip hip a hop, a you don' t stop the rockin' |
| [10:31.42] |
To the bang bang boogie |
| [10:32.67] |
Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat |
| [10:35.31] |
I say, " Hank, can ya rock? |
| [10:37.66] |
Can ya rock to the rhythm that just don' t stop? |
| [10:39.91] |
Can ya hip me to the shoobie doo?" |
| [10:41.85] |
I said, " Come on, make, make the people move!" |
| [10:44.35] |
I go to the balls and then ring the bell |
| [10:46.15] |
Because I am the man with the clientele |
| [10:48.20] |
And if ya ask me why I rock so well, |
| [10:50.36] |
A Big Bang, I got clientele |
| [10:52.66] |
And from the time I was only six years old |
| [10:54.60] |
I never forgot what I was told |
| [10:56.95] |
It was the best advice I ever had |
| [10:59.10] |
It came from my wise, dear old dad |
| [11:00.56] |
He said, " Sit down, punk, I wanna talk to you |
| [11:03.29] |
And don' t say a word until I' m through |
| [11:05.39] |
Now there' s a time to laugh, a time to cry |
| [11:07.54] |
A time to live and a time to die |
| [11:09.69] |
A time to break and a time to chill |
| [11:11.86] |
To act civilized or act real ill |
| [11:13.94] |
But whatever you do in your lifetime |
| [11:16.04] |
You never let an MC steal your rhyme" |
| [11:18.19] |
So from six to six ' til this very day |
| [11:20.59] |
I' ll always remember what he had to say |
| [11:22.54] |
So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style |
| [11:24.83] |
I let them know that I' m versatile |
| [11:26.83] |
I got style, finesse, and a little black book |
| [11:28.98] |
That' s filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look |
| [11:31.07] |
But the thing that seperates you from me |
| [11:33.22] |
And that is called originality |
| [11:35.28] |
Because my rhymes are on from what you heard |
| [11:37.55] |
I didn' t even bite, not a goword |
| [11:39.79] |
And I say a little more, later on tonight |
| [11:41.84] |
