Tic toc this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
Tic toc this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and please donand't stop (um)
Tic toc this is how we rock
(tic toc you donand't stop...)
Doitall:
Tic toc this is how we rock
Weand're those same (um) brothers that brought you andquot;chief rockandquot;
Now um undergroundand's my style
To this i have vows
And i swear to my god
Iand'll always rock a crowd
So (um) peace to my area, n.w.k.
Which is scarier
So if your on the deals,
Who cares, the more the merrier
Now right off south orange
On the block of one-nine
Of course, thirteenth ave
Is my stomping grounds
I open up my chest
And to my and'hood give my heart
and'cause without the heart
Then your and'hood falls apart
So respect to the cement
The park called andquot;the cornerandquot;
and'cause thatand's where the doitall two was performing
Runninand' from the cops
I couldnand't be stopped
and'cause i was jumpinand' big gates that connected the blocks
Now before making records
The and'hood was my savior
But now iand'm making tunes to make you jam wit and'cha neighbor...
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and please donand't stop (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and represent your block (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
(tic toc, you donand't stop...)
Mr. funkyman
Well, i be the funk-ular
Ultra-funk-ular
Gamma-funk-ular
Half you rappers out there couldnand't see me with binoculars
Anyone who thinks heand'll take me out is just a dreamer
If you think youand're the bomb, then iand'm hiroshima
When i die,
I hope theyand're making records up in heaven
On a scale of one to ten,
Iand'm like 100-5th-11
And sticks-and-stones-may-break-my-bones
But if you ever try to dis the lords, then itand's on
I go on beat...
Off beat...
Then jump right back on time
I drop another rhyme
And talk about your fat ugly mama (eewww!!)
M.c.and's cannot rock me
Iand'm stone-proof
Me grabbinand' the mic
Is like superman running to a phone booth
Straight from martin luther king boulevard
In the heart of newark, new jersey,
Make you say andquot;lord have mercyandquot;
If you step up in my face
Then itand's do or die
And iand'm gonna make you cry! (waaahhhhh!!)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and please donand't stop (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
Throw your hands in the air and represent your block (um)
Tic toc, this is how we rock
(tic toc, you donand't stop...)
Doitall:
Well, times have changed
Not only for the urban
But also for suburban
We get props, weand're deservinand'
From black kids, to white kids
I see them bob their heads,
From the blond hair, to redhead
I even seen a dread
So now it doesnand't matter
As the clock winds down
With the tic and the toc
Because they love the sound
But people and'round your area
Say you sell out
Because you sell a million copies
And your tour goes baaaaooww!
So do it for yourself,
And do it for the and'hood,
But do it from the heart,
and'cause thatand's when itand's good
Now tell me whatand's gonna happen
After the rappinand'
When the clock ticks away
And ainand't nothinand' happeninand'...
Mr. funkyman
..i remember way back in the days on my block
When the kids used to meet up in the hallway and rock
On martin luther kingand's boulevard
With p.c., wise, easy ed, and my brother hard bernard
Used to hit the ill rhymes from the head
While iand'd hit the beat on the wall until my hands turned red
You had the shorty two m.c.and's,
The educated three,
I have to give them props for helping me be me
Now iand'm the one whoand's educated
I suffered but i made it
I only write rhymes that will be appreciated
No matter how large i get
The fire still burns
and'cause from the and'hood i came
And to the and'hood i must return...
