(Showtime!)


[Intro: (Daddy-O)]

Show for show from stage to state

We turn over a brand new page

Loud and clear for you to hear

So have no fear

The new and (?)

Boogy on like you want to

This is the baddest band that you can find

And party people in the place

It's showtime


[Cut]

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show


[Verse 1: Delite]

Tonight is the night we're gonna flex our traits

And grab a pice of the soul, soul serenade

We're into the businessof keeping your interest

Tonight you will witness on just how we do this

True to form when the spotlights on

(?) there not to ever lock horns

So keep in step because the jam is def

We gonna bring the roof down as if its our last breath

The newest age of [?]

To make you smile, hey that's our motto

So join the square, of the debonaire

Its clear, the buck stops here and it's showtime


[Cut]

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show


[Verse 2: Daddy-O]

Bust it

When we was in Philly, the jam was packed

And we was on the bill with five other acts

But when the lights went down and we started to rhyme

The joint got live and read showtime

And when Wise came out to kick a beat with his mouth

And when Paul got (?) you can look in the house

And see them drenched in a frenzy, out of their mind

We got loose, we started to unwind


[Verse 3: Frukwan]

Just then got busy like only Stet can

Sabotaging your house, building up your demand

Exploiting the Stet and the sound that's high potent

And everybody in Stat reaches to voted to be

One of many who could counter-react

Stat adapt to a funky attack

Bust the act, that's right and exact, get back

Its an actual fact, it's showtime


[Cut]

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show


[Verse 4: Daddy-O]

Now come along children as we teach you

About a sound you're bound to take heed to

To a land where bands run free

Rhymes grow on trees, Stet is the epitome

Stages we call home, mics we call tools

Fans we call fam, gooks we call fools

Competition is game, at the same time lame

(What you talking about D?) Let me explain

Don't need a silly suit, big dummies get big heads

We choose to get a big stage instead

We entertain with the rhyme, ain't about no crime

Here to warm your soul and that's the bottom line

It's showtime


[Cut]

Let's start the show

Let's start the shot

Let's start the show


[Verse 5: Delite]

We're like a beast uncaged, on the rampage

Proving a point that we're the kings of the stage

So pass the finger-licking Kentucky Chicken

Makes me feel ready to keep you heels kicking

No flim-flam, funky is my fam

Man understand we're not a flash in the pan

So don't try to fight it, you've been united

By the Hip-Hop band that keeps you ignited

War on life with the gangsta lean

All about good times and a good strong theme

From Brooklyn boy hitting hard with the sound

Like Tyson we ain't playing around, it's showtime


[Cut]

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Let's start the show

Let's start the show

Let's start the show


[Verse 6: Frukwan]

We're up to par, Stet superstars

The six man band, that's who we are

We're picture perfect, you know its worth it

Stet rehearsed it, here's how we nurture

Combinating, we integrated

So stimulated, not infatuated

Cold [?]

And living proof that we can tear a whole jam and rock to the roof

(?) arrangement and death entertainment

(?)

The goal we achieve to rock

Bum rush the spot, it's showtime


[Cut]

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show

Ladies and gentlemen

Let's start the show


[Outro: Daddy-O]

So now you've seen what the critics mean

You have born witness that we can do this

You've taped to the base of the band in first place

And all the suckers are blue in the face

So from the rhyme orator MC Delight

The multiple supreme, the masterful Quan

Wise the human mix machine

The devastating beat creator

The grand wizard DJ Prince Paul

And the ebony chief emcee Daddy-O

We say to our fans, we love you

And to our foes

(Fuck you)
