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
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
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
Who can rock a rhyme like this
Step, step up, step, step up
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
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Raps stack got you back in the sub black
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those
who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point
Feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes
Try to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Hip-Hop hits
And you do it like this
Its going down its going down
Its going down its going down
Its going down its going down
Its going down
Its going down
The rhythm projects round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many
Elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for
Breath from emotional stress
With special effects and a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between
Beats of rhythmic barrage
Its going down
The logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed
Down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they
Blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
Its going down
The logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed
Down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they
Blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey now
Its going down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
Its going down nobody in the world escapes
When we melt down the wax in your record grave
Its going down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
Its going down
Nobody in the world escapes
When we melt down the wax in your record grave
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Its going down
Put it up
It said it goes like this
Its going down
And you do it like this
Its going down
Put it up
It said it goes like this
Its going down
And you do it like this
