Step, step up, step, step up
Watch as the room rocks
Men only moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box
Verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC
With your lack of skill and facility
You're killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up?
None of it's real
You want to be an MC?
Then help us out y'all come on
Who can rock a rhyme like this?(like this)
Bring it to you every time like this?(like this)
Who can rock a rhyme like this?(like this)
Step, step up, step, step up
C'mon
Who can rock a rhyme like this?(like this)

Who can rock a rhyme like this?(like this)
Step, step up, step, step up
Mr Hanh
Check this out
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
LP back in the cut over basement tracks
With raps that got you backing this up like
Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
Chester:
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But (nobody's listening)
S'right
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
This song is called it's goin' down
You ready?
Help me out y'all
When i say it's goin', you say down
It's goin' (down)
It's goin' (down)
When i say it's goin', you say down
It's goin' (down)
It's goin' (down)
When i say it's goin', you say down
It's goin' (down)
It's goin' (down)
When i say it's goin', everybody down
It's goin' (down)
Check it out, it's goin' down
The rhythm projects 'round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detects the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futuresque style
The combination of vocal caress
With lungs the gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage
It's going down
The logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
That's right
It's goin down
Out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's goin down)
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate (It's going down)
Out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree (It's goin down)
Nobody in the world is safe
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it's going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The seperation narrowed down to a fine line
We do it like this
Mr Hahn
Make some noise
