Step It Up

yo

watch as the room rocks

mentally moonwalk

mixed 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 a DJ in the group just for credibility

i heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes

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

rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer

cuz 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 its real

you wanna be an emcee?

you gotta study the skill

who can rock a rhyme like this

bring it to you every time 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

it sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40

and your record company's completely missed it

and all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate

so in a battle, you can't hack it

react with whack shit, and get smacked with verbal backflips

get your ass kicked, i'm a fabulous battle catalyst

it's taken decades for emcees to establish this

you're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious

but not on a mike, leave that to the experienced

(using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent

leaving him vulnerable to attack)

step, step up, step, step up, step up

(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 attack

and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body

so the question must be asked)

(mixed media

mixed media

step up to the microphone

and you do it like this

and you do it like thiisss....)
