Step Up

[00:05.66] Yo

[00:07.06] Watch as the room rocks

[00:08.21] Mentally moonwalk

[00:09.21] Mixed media slang

[00:10.47] Banging in your boom box verbal violence

[00:12.97] Lyrical stylist

[00:13.98] In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish

[00:16.48] You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty

[00:18.75] Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC

[00:21.01] With your lack of skill and facility

[00:22.76] You're killing me

[00:23.76] And a DJ in the group just for credibility

[00:26.02] I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes

[00:28.28] You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines

[00:30.79] And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer

[00:33.05] 'Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years

[00:35.55] But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up

[00:38.06] All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck

[00:40.46] So how does it stack up? None of it's real

[00:42.46] You want to be an MC you've got to study the skill

[00:45.22] Who can rock a rhyme like this?

[00:47.47] Bring it to you every time like this?

[00:49.73] Who can rock a rhyme like this?

[00:52.49] Step, step up, step, step up

[00:54.76] So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity

[00:57.26] But mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy

[00:59.93] With a tendency to make up stories

[01:01.83] Sounding like the only hip-hop you've heard is top 40

[01:04.35] And your record company is completely missing it

[01:06.85] All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate

[01:09.36] So in a battle you can't hack it

[01:11.26] React with whack shit

[01:12.02] And get smacked with verbal back flips

[01:14.03] Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts

[01:16.53] It's taken decades for MCs to establish this

[01:19.05] You're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious

[01:21.30] But not on the mic

[01:22.30] Leave that to the experienced

[01:23.82] Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack

[01:33.10] Who can rock a rhyme like this?

[01:35.35] Bring it to you every time like this?

[01:38.10] Who can rock a rhyme like this?

[01:40.37] Step, step up, step, step up

[02:30.44] After years of pain-staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.
