[Verse 1]

N-E-W-C-L-E-U-S

'Cause when it comes to jammin' live, we are the best

We're the number one crew I must confess

We're the super fresh group called Newcleus

When you come to see the show, don't be surprised

We got ladies on the keyboards kickin' it live

Our drummer, Dr. Rhythm, keeps a steady beat

While our breakers shock the house when they move their feet

If my voice is unfamiliar, I'm Chilly B

And thumping on the bass is my specialty

On sound effects and the monster keys

It's no other than my main man Cozmo D

I don't mean to brag, I hope you'll understand

But we're the freshest MCs in all the land

From Bach to rock, we're a band complete

Yet we still know how to jam to the funky beat, hit it!

[Chorus]

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

[Verse 2]

So now that Chilly B's kicked off the beat

It's time for me to make this rap complete

So sucker MCs make sure you listen

'Cause I wanna tell you just what you're missin'

You're hippin' and you're hoppin' on the microphone

But you're rappin' to music that ain't your own

Sure you got a beat that's funky fresh

But when you're rockin' a show, it don't pass the test

When your record starts skippin' or the tape don't work

And you're standin' on the stage lookin' like a jerk

So you get on the mic and do what you can

But it never woulda happened if you had a band

You sucker MCs think you're all the rage

Well it don't mean nothing when you hit the stage

You may get by with that hip hop jive

But you ain't really rockin' 'til you make it live

Oooh!

Aww yeah

We done related

Now it's about time we demonstrated

Yo Chilly, funk it up one time, huh?

Yo Cozmo, whatcha got for me?

[Chorus]

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live

Make it live!

Make it live
