Some people out there givin' rap a bad name
Well I'm here to let you know, we ain't down with that
Come on
(Rap music)
The sound of the times, ya sorta talk lyrics to rhythm
And rhyme and then deliver in various ways
You know, some sorta preach, and some sorta play
Nevertheless, there's a common ground
(Word)
Ya know the def hip hop sound
Hyped up bass with a tiny snare
The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare, but still
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
Now rap started as the voice of the street
A sorta politics to a ghetto beat
Then rappers started braggin' all about their gold
And the girlies, and the beepers
And the big, black Oldsmobile
In '83, the beatbox hit
Makin' funky drum sounds from out ya lips
But takin' on nu forms, rap has moved from the block
Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock, ya know
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
That makes me feel quite as chill
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
Concert time in my part of the town
Ya know, I brought my mom 'cause I knew she was down
She was flat groovin', but couldn't understand
How they makin' music when there ain't no band
And then she cried, "James," everybody stared
She heard a James Brown sample and thought he was there
She got home, shook her head and said
"Kids these years"
But then again, we think the Beatles were weird
I luv rap music, I luv rap music
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
That makes me feel quite as chill
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
(Ya know I luv it)
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
[Incomprehensible]Today some rappers boast, some are makin' me ill
And those obscene lyrics are overkill
But I started MC in' way back in the day
And since then there's been a serious change
Ya know, I asked Christ to come into my heart
And He gave me a brand new start
And on top a dat, He cold gave me my dreams
Doin' hip hop music with a Christian theme, ya know
I luv rap music, I always have and I always will
(Always will)
There ain't no other kinda music in all the world
(No no)
That makes me feel quite as chill
(Makes me feel chill)
I luv rap music, ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list
(Ya know it's sittin' on, sittin' on, sittin' on)
So if ya wanna hang with me, just better believe
We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
(We'll be jammin, jammin)
I luv rap music
(Hip-hop music)
I luv rap music
I luv rap music
(Always luv)
I luv rap music
(Hip-hop music)
