[Intro]

What we're gonna do right here is go back

Way back

Back, back into time

Alright y'all, this is Kool Moe Dee

And me and my DJ Easy Lee are about to take you all the way back

Way back when we used to rhyme like this


[Verse 1]

Dip, dip, dive, so-socialize

Clean out your ears and open your eyes

We gonna rock with the bass, roll with the high's

Gonna say a funky rhyme and make you all come alive

Hip hop, the hippie - the hippie

To the hip hip-hop, and you don't stop the rock

First you rock the hip and then you rock the hop

Then you hippie the hop and don't stop

Going on and on and on and on

Like hot butter on say what the popcorn

Gonna rock the beat to the break of dawn

Gonna party, party, party 'til you're all going home


[Hook]

This is the way we used to rhyme

These are the rhymes that we used to say

This is the way we used to sound

Way, way back in the day


[Verse 2]

Clap your hands and stomp your feet

And rock to the rhythm of the funky beat

Stomp your feet and clap your hands

Cause I am the man with the master plan

Going back and forth and forth and back

Three words for the wack: stay the hell back

If the wack may attack keep the wack back

This drum machine is guaranteed to cause a heart attack

Going up to the ceiling, down to the floor

Bounce around the walls and back out the door

Tried to come back in cause you want more

Those funky rhymes galore


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Pepper to the salt, salt to the pepper

Don't come to the party if you're a half-stepper

Salt to the pepper, pepper to the salt

If you can't rock to this it ain't my fault

A lime to a lemon, a lemon to a lime

I rock the rhyme in half the time

From a lemon to a lime, a lime to a lemon

You know Moe Dee gets all the women

Put your feet on the rhythm, put your feet on the rock

Put your feet on the rock

Put your feet on the rhythm, put your feet on the rock

Put your feet on the rock


[Hook]


[Verse 4]

Al Capone on the microphone

The Clark Gable on the turntable

I'm the Jesse and James of the hip hop game

Put all the suckers, suckers, suckers, suckers to shame

I'm twice as nice skating on ice

I'm giving you a taste of the disco slice

Like 4-5-6 on Cee-lo Dice

And I get more sex than a cat chase mice

Rock and roll, and roll and rock

Let's rock to the rhythm of the rock, rock, rock

And roll and rock, and rock and roll

Come on, party people, let's get out of control

Now the people in the back and not the wack

To the people on the side, let's ride

To the people in the middle let me see you wiggle

And people on the top, don't stop

Jump up, jump up

Just like a disco duck

Go down, go down

Just like a disco clown

Go on, go on

To, to the break of dawn

Jump back, jump back

And I can rock it like this cause I got it like that

Now do it, do it, do, do, do it

Do it, do it, do it

Do it, do it, do, do, do it

Do, do it, do it

Now throw your hands in the air

And wave 'em like you just don't care

And if y'all wanna rock the house tonight

Somebody say "oh yeah" (oh yeah)

Oh yeah (oh yeah)

Now I hear ya

Now I hear ya, hear ya, hear ya, hear ya, hear ya

Now I hear ya, hear ya

Now before we go I want you to know who you been listening to

It's devastating sound of Kool Moe Dee dedicated to all the old crew


[Hook]
