[Intro: Greg Mack & MC Ren]

Tocando conmigo

Yes, the rhythm, the—

How hot is hot?

This is radio station K-EAZY-E

Hi, this is Greg Mack, Mack Attack

And we're gonna go to the phones right now and find out what's goin' on

Hello, who is this?

Yo, what's up? This is Lorenzo Patterson

Yo, man, where you callin' from?

I'm callin' from Compton and I wanna hear Eazy-E's new record

What's it called, man?

Yo, it's called "Radio"

You got it, you called the right station and here it is

[Verse 1: Eazy-E & LL Cool J]

Eazy-E rockin' nonstop on the radio

With the funky fresh hip-hop in stereo

Releasin' rhymes that you would find demandin'

With Dre's beats that are so outstandin'

I'm gettin' busy, if you know what I mean

Always settin' me a mark in the hip-hop scene

On the radio, the greatest of all times

Like Muhammad Ali 'cause I punch rhymes

So tune your station, and clear all the static

And tell the truth, you didn't know that I had it in me

To be easy about the situation

So just kick it and listen to the station

Playin' my music, it's hard to lose it

It's constantly on request 'cause you choose it

I'm Eazy-E, my rap is strong

And your radio's def when my record's on

[Chorus: Eazy-E, Ad-Rock & Chuck D]

You wanna know why? Because

I'm on the (Radio)

[Interlude: Dr. Dre, Eazy-E & Joyce]

Yeah, Ruthless Radio is in effect

Dr. Dre and Yella Boy's in ya system

And right about now we got Eazy-E and MC Ren in the studio takin' calls

So give 'em a call and ask them how they're doin'

Hello, this is Eazy-E, what's your name?

Hi, this is Joyce, I'd like to know if I can have your phone number?

Yeah, it's 976—

[Verse 2: Eazy-E, Chuck D, MC Ren & Run-DMC]

Now, I wanna turn up my box and make much noise (Noise)

And rock the party and shock all the b-boys

Tick on my radio from phono to tuner

I wouldn't have did it later, but sooner

Now, move my antenna to the center

And grab ahold of the handle and enter

Then bust a rhyme, you know I won't quit it

Am I lyin', Ren? (Man, you know you with it)

Your request is clear that you're givin'

Without Eazy-E, you wouldn't be livin'

With me on a top ten, or a mix show

So, hit your power button and let's go

On vacation with your station

That's playin' loud in every location

Blowin' out ya speaker, it won't get weaker

I'll keep rockin' 'til I hit the peak

And your station is dope E-A-Z-Y

It's on the air, but you ask why

I took out the cursin', It took rehearsin'

I feel dry, you know that I'm thirstin'

To get busy, I don't quit it

And once you hear my cut, I know you're gonna get it

Then bust a rhyme while you're clappin' your hands

It's Eazy-E on the air (Rockin' without a band)

[Chorus: Eazy-E, Ad-Rock & Chuck D]

You wanna know why? Because

I'm on the (Radio)


[Interlude: Greg Mack]

You're on the radio, on K-EAZY-E, with Greg Mack

Don't forget to join us this Friday night live

We're gon' be jammin' it uptown with my homeboys Eazy-E

Of course, N.W.A., and the whole Compton posse

Can't make it out? Well, hey, stay "Eazy"

And stay it on K-EAZY-E

With more "Radio"

[Verse 3: Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Run-DMC, Sweet Tee]

Now, disc jockeys are playin' me in rotation

Hittin' number one spots across the nation

I'm on the charts, you can go list 'em

But now, listen, I'm on your system

AM or FM, I'm in power

You hear my record once every hour

So, listen up to the rhyme and percussion

But do this with no discussion

Eazy's easin' fans I'm pleasin'

Why I'm on top? Yo, I got reason

With no profanity, but what can I say

Yo, Dre (What up?), do it your way

On the radio you get more looser

Take my word, you're a dope producer

We combine to put out hits

But jealous people, they just have fits

'Cause we get airplay, but we're not through

Dre, am I serious? (Oh word) Why, thank you

People that hear me, they know what I'm sayin'

On the air, I don't be playin'

Just gettin' my point across to the public

Rhymin' on the radio, that's my subject

I could play (Rock), but I prefer (Hip-hop)

It's Eazy-E on your radio nonstop

[Chorus: Eazy-E, Ad-Rock & Chuck D]

You wanna know why? Because

I'm on the (Radio)

Tushie: Hi, my name is Tushie, and I'd like to know when your twelve-inch record is comin' out

MC Ren: Yo, it ought to be out real soon, so, just keep lookin' in your local record store

Stan the Guitar Man: Yo, can I speak to Dre?

Dr. Dre: Yo, what's up? This is Dre

Stan the Guitar Man: Ayy, Dre, this is Stan, remember me?

Dr. Dre: Yeah, man, I remember you, what's up, homeboy?

Stan the Guitar Man: Yeah, man, I play guitar on this record, I wanna know when I get paid, mother—

Dr. Dre: You got ganked

Hello, you're on the air, what's up?

Girls: Hello, we'd like to speak to that cutie pie, DJ Speed

DJ Speed: Yo, this DJ Speed, what's up?

Girls: The joke's on you, Jack, hahahaha

Dr. Dre: Hello? You're on the air

Nasty Ness: Hey, what's up? This is Nasty Ness callin' from Seattle
