[00:07.13] yo
[00:08.44] watch as the room rocks
[00:09.66] mentally moonwalk
[00:10.86] mixed media slang banging in your boombox
[00:13.08] verbal violence
[00:14.37] lyrical stylist
[00:15.60] in a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
[00:17.65] you can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
[00:19.78] rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
[00:22.25] with your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
[00:24.58] and a DJ in the group just for credibility
[00:27.45] i heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes
[00:29.53] you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
[00:31.94] rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
[00:34.23] cuz rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
[00:36.51] but now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
[00:39.03] all after a fast buck
[00:40.55] and all the tracks suck
[00:41.78] so how does it stack up?
[00:42.81] none of its real
[00:43.95] you wanna be an emcee?
[00:44.95] you gotta study the skill
[00:46.44] who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:48.73] bring it to you every time like this
[00:50.85] who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:53.55] step, step up, step, step up
[00:55.93] so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
[00:57.68] but mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
[01:00.81] with a tendency to make up stories
[01:02.94] it sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40
[01:05.78] and your record company's completely missed it
[01:08.33] and all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate
[01:10.64] so in a battle, you can't hack it
[01:12.53] react with whack ***t, and get smacked with verbal backflips
[01:15.33] get your ass kicked, i'm a fabulous battle catalyst
[01:17.49] it's taken decades for emcees to establish this
[01:19.97] you're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious
[01:22.37] but not on a mike, leave that to the experienced
[01:25.17] (using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent
[01:30.90] leaving him vulnerable to attack)
[01:34.55] who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:37.01] bring it to you every time like this
[01:39.35] who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:41.72] step, step up, step, step up
[01:44.15] who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:46.52] bring it to you every time like this
[01:48.89] who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:51.17] step, step up, step, step up, step up
[02:32.60] (after years of painstaking research by the world's leading
[02:35.79] sound scientists
[02:37.58] we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable
[02:40.47] audio weapon system
[02:42.22] actual movement of musical sound in space is used to
[02:45.23] carefully attack
[02:46.59] and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body
[02:49.65] so the question must be asked)
[02:52.25] who can rock a rhyme like this
[02:53.41] bring it to you every time like this
[02:55.76] who can rock a rhyme like this
[02:58.23] step, step up, step, step up
[03:00.37] who can rock a rhyme like this
[03:02.89] bring it to you every time like this
[03:05.27] who can rock a rhyme like this
[03:07.64] step, step up, step, step up, step up
[03:22.63] step up to the microphone
[03:23.69] and you do it like this
[03:28.51] and you do it like this
[03:31.44] step up to the microphone
[03:38.79] and you do it like this
[03:40.13] step up to the microphone
[03:42.80] and you do it like this
[03:45.99] step up to the microphone
[03:47.50] and you do it like thiisss....)
