Kid Capri

"Kid Capri, plays beats like this.." (4X)

[Daddy-O]

Take tapes; everybody tapes

Everybody buyin tapes that the DJ's make

Twenty bucks a pop and they run non-stop

and the jams are hot, to the very last drop

POP POP in your car or your Jeep or whatever

Sometimes people buy 'em like two and three together

But did you ever wonder who's the best?

Or argue with your friends to get it off your chest?

Well let me introduce you to Kid Capri

He's kind of like a favorite to me

He's got a real dope way, of makin them tapes

and I don't mind myself spendin them papes

I pump it in the Volvo that I ride

Most times with my girl to the left of my side

In the city of New York with celebrities

and a cool DJ named Kid Capri!

Shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-shoo-wop-POW

I hear a beat movin in a Jeep "Uptown, Uptown"

and I guess it's "Kid Capri" with the big "dope sound"

So skip to my loo, rather skip to Capri

You bring the skins and the ride's on me

And we can parlay like peas in a pod

Grin for the girls and give a piece to the Gods

The rest of the pie you can leave for my crew

Give a toast to the fools that knew

that if it don't fit don't force that flow

So how many times I gotta let you know

that the Dad got a new way of runnin the show?

Just like Shabba Ranks goin, "Bo! Bo! Bo!"

Crashin all them doubts that you had befo'

And friendly as a food stamp is to the po'

Bein all them things that I wants to be

and slammin like a tape by Kid Capri - break it down for me!

Whether in Brooklyn, parolin with my peeps

or Lower Manhattan, where I shop upon the street

There's one thing to say (??) everyone I meet

Everybody's fiendin for a fat funky beat

Well here's a fat beat that'll rock your socks

Comin straight from the school that we call hard knocks

cause it knocks you HARD upside your dome

and commands like a law that's etched in stone

Watch the Dad blow up on the solo tip

Feet firm to the ground with the kung-fu grip

Sharp as a whip might strike your back

Choke you up like a Winston straight from the pack

And if it's them beats that'll make you ill

Kid Capri got a tape that'll fit that bill

And once you get hooked you won't know how to act

Tradin tapes like baseball cards in stacks

Lookin for the mix that suits you best

Takin care like the Doc on Empty Nest

Just remember that the tapes don't come for free

So whenever you pay, pay for Kid Capri!

Yo I'd like to give a shout out to all the DJ's Uptown

I wanna let y'all know I ain't forget about you

Ron G, S&S, Chill Will, Doo Wop.. rock on, to the break of down

Lovebug Starski..
