Yo...
Watch as the
room rocks
Men only moonwalk
Mixed media
slang
Banging in
your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time
when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t
tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to
a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
With your
lack of skill and facility
You’re
killing me
And a DJ in
the group just for credibility
I heard that
some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You’re
not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping
over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
Cause rock
and hip-hop have collaborated for years
But now they’re
getting 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 want to
be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
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 a tendency
to make up stories
Sounding like
the only hip-hop you’ve heard is top 40 (Top 40)
And your record
company is completely missing it
All the kids
are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle
you can't hack it
React with
whack shit
And get smacked
with verbal back flips
Get your ass
kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken
decades for emcees to establish this
You’re
new to hip hop and welcome if you’re serious
But not on
the mic
Leave that
to the experienced
(Using the
waves of sound the true master paralysis his opponents, leaving him
Vulnerable
to attack)
Who can rock
a rhyme like this?
Bring it to
you every time like this?
Who can rock

Step, step
up, step, step up
Who can rock

Bring it to
you every time like this?
Who can rock
a rhyme like this?
Step, step
up, step, step up (STEP UP)
