Song updated, review now!
(Do my thing) --> Erick Sermon<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 1: Money B ]<br />
<br />
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat y'all<br />
<br />
Old school jams the party people used to dance to I recall<br />
<br />
Summertime in Philly, my age about a dozen<br />
<br />
Got excited when invited to block parties with my cousins<br />
<br />
Tapin every rap jam that slammed on the radio<br />
<br />
School time came, on the plane back to the O<br />
<br />
Grandmaster Flash, Spoonie G and the Treach' Three<br />
<br />
Fearless 4, spirit of hip-hop was etched in me<br />
<br />
See, I was down, brah, but let me get down to<br />
<br />
?????? V-Town I was down witcha<br />
<br />
Back at the high, '84, '85<br />
<br />
Lunch time at the break, hip-hop kid live<br />
<br />
No jive, I see Boogie B and Commando<br />
<br />
Valentino D, we all had plans to<br />
<br />
(Shock the house) (until the break of dawn)<br />
<br />
I was down with the Funky Fresh 8 when I jumped on<br />
<br />
Stage, I got played when I entered the talent show<br />
<br />
I ripped it (you ripped it, Mon') but I still didn't win it, though<br />
<br />
But now the people know me as Money B<br />
<br />
Not just a freckle-faced short lille wanna-be<br />
<br />
Breakdance, shell-toe-Adidas and leather-hat-wearin<br />
<br />
Now the girls was starin and the props was ffffat<br />
<br />
Now at the parties when the bass would pound out<br />
<br />
The mic was passed and that's when I found out..<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ CHORUS ]<br />
<br />
(People from everywhere watchin the show) --> ????<br />
<br />
(You're intrigued by the way I do my thing) --> Erick Sermon<br />
<br />
(People from everywhere watchin the show)<br />
<br />
(Mi come to rock ya whether you're black or you're white) --> KRS-One<br />
<br />
(People from everywhere watchin the show)<br />
<br />
(You're intrigued by the way I do my thing)<br />
<br />
(People from everywhere watchin the show)<br />
<br />
(Now when we rock upon the mic,
we rock the mic - right) --> Slick Rick<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 2: Money B ]<br />
<br />
Well, like I was sayin, I was makin a name for myself<br />
<br />
At the same time at the flat where I sat<br />
<br />
With the turntable, tape deck, Stevie Bo and Greg<br />
<br />
Bet that I can turn pro cause I flow and the day I met<br />
<br />
The M-a to the c with the dash<br />
<br />
M-o-n-e cash came fast on the ave, see?<br />
<br />
(Cars ride by with the boomin systems)<br />
<br />
With the (funky) (funky, funky, funky) beats in em<br />
<br />
And there was no need to look that way or this way<br />
<br />
You want a cassette, then you step to the six-trey<br />
<br />
And that's where you'll find me, Mone to the side of me<br />
<br />
Tryin to get paid in those days sho' was fly to me<br />
<br />
But lookin back just like a quarterback days past<br />
<br />
I gotta give a shout out to C.J. Flash<br />
<br />
For hookin me up with Fuze, oh, excuse me<br />
<br />
One more ingredient, Sleuth, yeah, we needed him<br />
<br />
For management, but what did I say, oh, we'da been<br />
<br />
Stuck, but we hooked up like handle-bar mustache<br />
<br />
MGM was the name that we used then<br />
<br />
And here comes Shock and Chopmaster J<br />
<br />
Some weeks passed away, yo Jim, pass the jay<br />
<br />
But then out of nowhere came the sound of Digital Underground<br />
<br />
And we was ready to get down<br />
<br />
On the local circus, rockin the small crowds<br />
<br />
Doin work with crews like K Cloud<br />
<br />
Capital Tax, [Name], Red, Black & Green<br />
<br />
Benny B and Davey D know what I mean<br />
<br />
You see<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ CHORUS ]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 3: Money B ]<br />
<br />
1989 'Doowutchyalike' dropped<br />
<br />
The US wasn't pleased, overseas it went pop<br />
<br />
But we finished the LP, attitude healthy<br />
<br />
Shit, the earthquake hit, Lord please help me<br />
<br />
The bridge collapsed, people had to find means and ways <br />
<br />
To cross, we was off to Europe in a few days<br />
<br />
A two-months tour and I sure won't forget that<br />
<br />
Denmark, Finland, we almost froze, black<br />
<br />
Sweden was cool, in Holland we kicked it<br />
<br />
London shows was safe, we was wicked<br />
<br />
Peace to Mell'O, good lookin out, gee<br />
<br />
And everyone else when we came to your country<br />
<br />
Movin right along and back to the homefront<br />
<br />
In no time everybody's doin the Hump<br />
<br />
Puttin the funk in the trunks and back in the boom box<br />
<br />
We took the road show straight to the nine-o<br />
<br />
( *backstage preparations* )<br />
<br />
Well, if you was there, then you know that we got buck<br />
<br />
So now you know, I gotta say what's up<br />
<br />
To Big Daddy Kane, 3rd Bass and KMD<br />
<br />
MC Lyte, 2 Live and the D.O.C.<br />
<br />
Michel'le, Def Jef saw the first show<br />
<br />
Cheeba was down, peace out to the Afros<br />
<br />
Latifah like a sis away from home<br />
<br />
With AD never leavin the girls alone<br />
<br />
45 King, Chill Rob and Apache, Flavor U<br />
<br />
Peace to [Name] and the Naughty By Nature crew<br />
<br />
My brothers in PE worked it out<br />
<br />
Kwamé, Kid'n Play, Young & the Restless know what I'm talkin bout<br />
<br />
Silk Tymes, [Name], Special Ed, Heavy D<br />
<br />
T-Roy, you're rockin wherever you be<br />
<br />
Geto Boys, parents should doin the job<br />
<br />
Yo's to Yo-Yo and Ice Cube rollin with the Lench Mob<br />
<br />
Shouts out to EMPD and Twin Hype<br />
<br />
Mellow Man Ace and the Cypress Hill Tribe<br />
<br />
ATL, De La, J.Beez, Quest<br />
<br />
Body 'n Soul and Felicia the Poetess<br />
<br />
Too $hort and the homies from Oaktown<br />
<br />
Tony! Toni! Tonë! - we're reignin in Northern California now<br />
<br />
Peace out from DU and Raw Fusion<br />
<br />
If you seen it, you know what I mean<br />
<br />
Yo<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ CHORUS ]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Yeah<br />
<br />
And and this one is goin out to my man 2Pacalypse<br />
<br />
Cause we been all around the world<br />
<br />
And it's still the same song<br />
<br />
