This is rock n' roll shouts out
|
Back to the rappers
|
A lot of people stake claims
|
Saying hip hop doesn't matter
|
But really what could be phatter than
|
Jungle J.B's beats and streetside sounds
|
Profound are the sounds
|
That i was hearing
|
When at the basketball league
|
This kid said "Yo come here and
|
Put these head phones on your ears"
|
I was converted then
|
And practiced it for years
|
Rap music, like Jazz, Funk and R&B
|
Blues Reggae Rock n' Roll, and rock steady G.
|
Will be around forever
|
And its never going out
|
That's why I took this time to spell these lyrics out
|
I wanna give thanx to the lyricists MC's
|
And DJ's that brought me near to this
|
Blastmaster, KRS-One the teacher
|
Run D-M-C and the movie Beat Street
|
Erik B. and Rakim was Paid in Full
|
De La Soul came along and broke all the rules
|
I remember when my girl bought me Tribe Called Quest
|
We broke up later but I kept the cassette
|
Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane
|
Main Source, Pharcyde and Dana Dane
|
Steady B on the hilltop
|
With Lady B on Power 99 West Philly
|
Cypress Hill, The Goats and Das EFX
|
Tupac, EPMD
|
Lets see who's next
|
Jungle Brothers, Gang Starr and Bizmarkie Jazzy Jeff, the Fresh Prince
|
Puts summer in my ears
|
Slick Rick, Funk Doobie and the Beastie Boys
|
And all the rest that make some noise
|
There's plenty more people that's comin on
|
And the list could run
|
Til the break of dawn
|
But right now yo
|
Its back to the bluesman
|
Trippin', Rollin', Flyin' or just cruisin'
|
Yeah fire it up
|
Eh yo do it right
|
We gonna go go until the mornin light
|
|
Its justa rock n' roll
|
A little bit of rock n' roll
|
I like a rock and roll
|
And give me some rock n' roll
|
Oh la Oh la yeah
|
