Chorus:

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And give a loc a little dap when he walks through

Verse 1:

If there be a dope beat then all y'all see

Get up out your seat and let me see yo technique

Freak yo physique and you betta not compete

Make it hot and sweaty like twenty deep in a jeep

Never comin' cheap, forty creep

And I hope you don't mind if I borrow a few things while you go to sleep

I steal money from the rich

And give it to the poor, it's

Coolio loco and ghetto witch doctor super, you are

Bring it from the back and bring it to the front

Cause you gotta give the people what they want

Now hump, do the stomp to the butt

Big homie shake your gut

As long as you get your ass up

It's a party over here

And let me make it clear

40 thevz is the crew

So you better come anew

Ain't a damn thing change since the first one

And if you didn't hear the album go get one (one)

Chorus:

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And give a loc a little dap when he walks through.

Verse 2:

Here come the thief on the old school beat

And I never knew the meaning of the word "defeat"

The master of disguise wanna see the people's eyes

Yet, fools try to deny that the ? man? can fly

Just cook 'em all up like gumbo

And block their ass like mutumbo

Cause your album dropped off the charts like dumbo

We are new and improved to make you put on your boogie shoes

Like k.c. and the sunshine band, or the wu-tang clan

I go way back like vegas, nixon, noreaga

It's the tennis shoe players fat box on the quiet station

Now what if hip hop was like humpty dumpty sittin' on the wall

And what if hip hop had to take a great fall

And what if rhyme was a crime

And each and every time

That you spit a dope line

You might have to do some time

Most of these clowns will be tryin' to skip town

But coolio will be ready for the showdown

Chorus:

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down' like your 'posed to

And pass a joint to the loc when he roll through

Verse 3:

If the shoe fit, put it on and stick

And if your ass uncash don't let your mouth write no check

Fools be in the bars unadvanced with a switch

Uppercuts and fight kicks with weird al yankovich

From tokyo to sojo, rollin wit the 4-0

This hip hop that I'm holdin' I'll make it move your hoe

It's the vandino, everything but rhyme's broken

Breakin' a nigga with first position at the open

You can't understand how I do it

I'm just true to it

I let my pen flow across the paper like it was made affluent

Uh, let it ring, let it rip

Everybody holler like marvin gaye, but don't you let the record skip

Synchronize the watch, cause the party don't stop

Till the neighborhood watch call the cops

It's the wild ass festival, coast line veteran

Once again droppin' bombs on yo section (on yo section)

Chorus:

Are you ready to throwndown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And pass the brew to the loc when he roll through

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school

Are you ready to throwdown?

Yes we are!

Well, get on down like your 'posed to

And give a loc a little dap when he roll through.

Fool!
