    Intro: chuck d, flavor flav

    Aight {aight}, aight, aight {aight}, aight {aight}
    I'm aight if you aight {i'm aight}
    I be better - get some of that bass
    {word, give it up} aight, yeah

    [rinkin twinkin body shakin
    Nuffattackin brain's a rackin
    Clock tockin chuck shockin
    Flavor flav ain't never shavin]

    (one, two, three four)

    Verse one: chuck d

    It's another record, check it, mad methods
    To put my brothers and sisters on a deathbed
    You know he cheated, took what he wanted but now you blunted
    Suckin up to the devil steppin down a level
    It's who they fear is you
    Who protects us from us and you from you
    Yes and it counts [fuck the fourty ounce]
    I sued them bastards, yeah they got bounce
    I did em like a demo {threw em out the window}
    I took a 98 cause i never liked a limo
    But pump pump pump pu-pump pump it up
    A mad rhyme, for mad times, that's what's up
    Some ain't gonna change, i got em in a range
    I gotta rearrange, so i'm buildin back your brain
    Wreckin records with funky stuff
    Am i loud enough? {yeah} you got ta give it up

    Chorus [4x]: flavor flav

    Give it up, give it up, give it up yo
    Give it up, give it up, gotta give it up

    Repeat #2 -- (occasional) chuck d vocal

    Yeah
    You gots ta give it up now

    Verse two: chuck d

    Come again with the same old bounce
    I'm calling a foul and once again it counts
    Mad tense mad tense brothers know
    The blunts in the back got the black behind and that's wack
    [and once again it's on!]
    Hey jimmy cracked corn cracker singin "i don't care", it's on
    I'm comin with a rhyme [what?] i'm lettin go a rhyme [yeah!]
    I gotta get a rhyme through the rough and crazy times
    Call me a hannibal lecture, yes i checked her
    They don't hear me though, so here i go
    I'm sick and tired so sly'll take ya higher
    When i'm takin his sound to bring you down
    Rappers rippin a lyrical kickin finger-lickin
    But to the rhythm i'm givin but never cotton pickin
    Like james brown i'm sayin it loud
    Am i loud enough? huh, you got ta give it up

    [some ain't gonna change, some ain't gonna change
    Some ain't gonna never ever change
    Some ain't gonna change, some ain't gonna change
    Some ain't gonna never ever change!]

    Chorus [1/2x]

    Interlude: chuck d, flavor flav

    And when i'm coming, some young dumb and fulla cum
    Some second guessing my lessons about saving young
    Some don't know like run said so here we go
    Where it is inside, whoop there it is
    {aaaaaaah} there it is
    [there it is, damn right
    My man x is a bad mother {shut your mouth)
    I'm talking about terminator, he's the man]
    There it is, can you hit me off with another one

    Chorus

    I never did represent doing dumb shit
    Some gangsta lying - i'd rather diss presidents
    Dead or alive, bring em and i'll swing em
    I vocalize, i just rap, i don't sing em
    Flick em, and i fling em, you can go with em
    Hall of fame for the game for the points i dave bing em
    Go grandmama, close but no cigar
    I got mine, for i'm using my rhyme
    The flow go wherever i want, and that's clever
    Give a piece of my time, to prevent some crime
    And who behind puttin the guns to the young ones
    The ones that make em is the ones that take em
    Rugged for no reason, down in duck season
    I don't want my mama, on the street wearing armor
    So check yaself before ya wreck yaself
    Respect yaself, hah, you got ta give it up

    Chorus [4x] (fades out)
