[00:00.20] Give it up for Naughty By Nature!
[00:16.46] Hip Hop Hooray
[00:18.24] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[00:26.49] You drew a picture of my mornin'
[00:28.24] But you couldn't make my day (Hey!)
[00:29.50] I'm rockin' and you're yawnin'
[00:30.50] But you never look my way (Hey!)
[00:32.00] I'm lickin' down your darlin'
[00:32.75] In every single way (Hey!)
[00:34.51] Your funny flow is foreign
[00:35.51] And a green card's on the way
[00:36.33] This ain't got shit to do with shampoo
[00:38.09] But watch your head and shoulder
[00:39.09] Brother older, bold enough to fold ya, yo I told ya
[00:41.59] A raid afraid of what I made and played it, plus a funky fit
[00:44.09] So save yo' flips and tricks for that music and the monkey bit
[00:46.60] Triggers from the Grilltown Illtown
[00:47.85] Some ask how it feels now
[00:49.25] The deal is that we're real, so we're still 'round
[00:51.25] Don't lamp with a freestyle phantom
[00:52.50] Ain't tryin' to be handsome
[00:54.00] Shrinkin' what you're thinkin', 'cause I'm vampin'
[00:56.01] I live and die for hip-hop, this is hip-hop for today
[00:58.76] I give props to hip-hop, so Hip Hop hooray
[01:01.76] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[01:09.28] Hip Hop Hooray
[01:11.53] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[01:19.54] You heard a lot about a brother gainin' mo' ground
[01:22.05] Bein' low down, I do the showdown with any little ho 'round
[01:25.31] No! I wanna know who you believe in
[01:26.56] Through your funny reasons even when I'm sleepin' you think I'm cheatin'
[01:29.81] You said: "I know you, Mr. O.P.P. man
[01:32.32] Yo, PP man, won't only see me man"
[01:35.07] You should've known when I ain't hit it and step
[01:37.07] That I was wit' it a bit, not to consider the rep, heck!
[01:39.83] I did your partner 'cause she's hot as a baker
[01:41.83] 'Cause I'm Naughty by Nature, not 'cause I hate ya
[01:44.59] You put your heart in a part of a part that spreads apart
[01:47.35] And forgot that I forgave when you had a spark
[01:49.60] You try to act like somethin' really big is missin'
[01:51.86] Even though my name's graffiti-written on your kitten
[01:54.11] I love black women always and disrespect ain't the way
[01:56.62] Let's start a family today; Hip Hop Hooray
[01:59.87] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[02:07.88] Hip Hop Hooray
[02:09.63] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[02:17.90] Hip Hop, Hip Hip Hop, Hip Hip Hop, Hooray!
[02:20.02] There's many hungry hip-hoppers
[02:21.65] One reason Hip Hop's tip-top today
[02:23.16] Swerve what you heard 'cause I ain't bailin' no hay
[02:25.16] Ain't choppin' no crops, but still growin' every day
[02:28.55] Here's a thunder sound from the wonders found
[02:30.31] From the underground town down the hill
[02:32.06] Feel how Illtown drown smiles to frowns
[02:34.31] Snatchin' crowns from clowns, beatdowns are found
[02:36.57] Don't know me? Don't come around!
[02:38.07] Tippy tippy (pause) tippy tippy (pause)
[02:39.57] Sometimes creepin' up I eat 'em up
[02:41.07] Your styles are older than Lou Rawls
[02:42.83] Peace to this one and that one and them
[02:44.58] That way I shout-out and I didn't miss one friend
[02:47.59] Fools get foolish, neither them or Parker Lewis knew us
[02:50.09] You could have crews with shoes and can't step to us
[02:52.34] Some kitties purr, now call me sir too
[02:54.10] Lookin' for her crew; any trick that diss gets a curfew
[02:57.10] I put on projects for boots
[02:58.61] Step through troops and leave proof
[03:00.36] My problem solver's name is Mook
[03:02.11] I hittin' woodies in a hoodie
[03:03.61] Peace to Josette, Jobete, Jo-Jo, Genae, and every hood G
[03:07.12] That's right, my fight is ill
[03:08.37] Peace goes to L.O.N.S. and Quest
[03:10.12] Nice & Smooth and Cypress Hill
[03:11.87] I live and die for Hip Hop, this is Hip Hop of today
[03:14.13] I give props to Hip Hop, so Hip Hop Hooray
[03:17.13] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[03:24.90] Hip Hop Hooray
[03:26.65] Ho, hey, ho, hey, ho, hey, ho
[03:34.91] Smooth it out now!
