This is rock n' roll shouts out
Back to the rappers
A lot of people stake claims
Saying hip hop doesn't matterBut really what could be phatter than
Jungle J.B's beats and streetside sounds
Profound are the sounds
That i was hearingWhen at the basketball league
This kid said "Yo come here and
Put these head phones on your ears"
I was converted thenAnd practiced it for years
Rap music, like Jazz, Funk and R&B
Blues Reggae Rock n' Roll, and rock steady G.
Will be around foreverAnd its never going out
That's why I took this time to spell these lyrics out
I want to give thanx to the lyricists MC's
And DJ's that brought me near to thisBlastmaster, KRS-One the teacher
Run D-M-see and the movie Beat Street
Erik B. and Rakim was Paid in Full
De La Soul came along and broke all the rulesI remember when my girl bought me Tribe Called Quest
We broke up later but I kept the cassette
Cool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane
Main Source, Pharcyde and Dana DaneSteady beon the hilltop
With Lady be on Power 99 West Philly
Cypress Hill, The Goats and Das EFX
Tupac, EPMDLet's 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 BoysAnd 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 dawnBut right now yo
It's back to the bluesman
Trippin', Rollin', Flyin' or just cruisin'
Yeah fire it upEh yo do it right
We gonna go go until the mornin light
It's justa rock n' roll
A little bit of rock n' rollI like a rock and roll
And give me some rock n' roll
Oh la Oh la yeah
