Yo! Bum Rush The Show

Ridenhour - shocklee

Hey chuck, we got some non-believers out there

Yo, we gotta do somethin' about that man
Yo, we gotta get stupid
Yo, we gotta let 'em know what time it is

You go ooh and ahh when i jump in my car
People treat me like kareem abdul jabbar
No matter who you are - when i'm up to par
I betcha go hip hop - hurray or hurrah
But the ahhs and ohhs is my kind of news
Pop your tape in - put your car in cruise
I never heard the boos - i never drank booze
Cause i just rock the rhythm - left alone the blues
The l.i. mystique - you sneak to peek
A look and then you know that we're never weak
I know you can't wait - it's never too late
No fear i'm here - and everything is straight
Cycles, cycles - life runs in cycles
New is old - no i'm not no psycho
The monkey on the back makes the best excel
The people in the crowd makes the best rock well
The people in the back lets you know who's whack
And those who lack - the odds are stacked
The one who makes the money is white not black
You might not believe it but it is like that
When you come to my show - watch me throw
Down with the other brothers toe to toe
When you make a move - new not used
And watch the bro here just bust a groove
A fat lady soprano - loads my ammo
Hear my jam - with a funky piano
Easy on the wall but hard on the panel
A fool smokes kools cause he chokes on camels
In effect - the crew's in check
Run by the posse with the gold around the neck
Homeboys in heat - lookin' for sweet
Ladies in the crowd so they can meet
Somebody to body - makin' a baby
Givin' it to grandma an' makin' her crazy
I'm a mc protector - u.s. defector
South african government wrecker
Panther power - you can feel it in my arm
Lookout y'all i'm a timebomb
Tickin', tockin', all about rockin'
Makin' much dollars while the crazy one's clockin'
The rhythm - to shake the house downy down
Bounce to the ounce is sound the crown
The man - the enemy - public king - no thing
All fall to the force of my swing
Like ali - frazier - thriller in manila
A pinpoint point blank microphone killer am i
No need to lie - got the flavor flave
To prove i'll win and if not the save
I'll pick up, rack up - put your whole shack up
Just choose to lose the bet - emcee stick up
This is the wiz - but the mike's not his, it's mine
One time let the star shine
And i'm tellin' you - yelling at you you're through
Don't think you're grown cause your moustache grew
I'm number one - you know it weighs a ton
And i'll be the burger - you can be the bun, girl
Surroundin' - my steady poundin'
Get on down to my funky sound
And rock the rhythm rhyme - one time your mind
Rhythm roll - two times control
The mauler and the caller of your doom
And when i'm ready to leave - you're gonna know i go boom
Three times y'all - rhythm rhyme and rock
Then you'll that the d is on the block
Four times y'all and never ever the whack
It's the hour to the minute - time to blow black

Ridenhour - drayton - shocklee

Time is gettin' crazy - people clockin' out
They're robbin' all the cribs on death wish route
Breakin' into cars trying to steal their system
20 pounds on the bar, betcha can't lift 'em
Ya throw two punches, now you got no wind
Hittin' mega pipes, gettin' super stupid thin
Smokin' all the squares and crying all the tears
Cause you're workin' for ya boy, came short and full of swears
Ya couldn't make the money cause ya smoked up all the product
Walkin' round town, skeptalepsy illaroduct
Can't be trusted cause you're living in the past
Ya should have kept yo ass away from that blast
Megablast!
Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please
Just give me just one more hit (x8)
I got a homeboy who is out on the block
He sells mo crack than they sell fish at the dock
He runs to every car, thinkin' he's a star
He gets his product snatched by some people in a car
The car pulls off as he hungs onto the side
Of the car that is in motion, guess his product took a ride
He tried to sell a demon for a thirty dollar bill
Fake gold plate on the back, no frills
Fake hawaiian suit, scratched up knees
In his fridgerator, bread, water, cheese
An antique fork, how long will it last?
We'll see in twelve minutes when he wants the blast
Megablast!
Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please
Just give me just one more hit (x8)

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

You spend a buck in the 80's - whatcha you get is a preacher
Forgivin' this torture of the system that brought 'cha
I'm on a mission and you got that right
Addin' fuel to the fire - punch to the fight
Many have forgotten what we came here for
Never knew or had a clue - so you're on the floor
Just growin not knowin about your past
Now you're lookin' pretty stupid while you're shakin' your ass

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

Some people fear me when i talk this way
Some come near me - some run away
Some people take heed to every word i say
Some wanna build a posse - some stay away
Some people think that we plan to fail
Wonder why we go under or we go to jail
Some ask us why we act the way we act
Without lookin' how long they kept us back

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

Yes you if i bore you - i won't ignore you
I'm sayin things that they say i'm not supposed to
Give you pride that you may not find
If you're blind about your past then i'll point behind
Kings, queens, warriors, lovers
People proud - sisters and brothers
Their biggest fear - suckers get tears
When we can top their best idea

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

Mind revolution - our solution
Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Corners don't sell it - no you can't buy it
Defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

Our solution - mind revolution
Can't sell it - no you can't buy it in a potion
You lie about the life that you wanted to try
Tellin' me about a head - you decided to fly
Another brother with the same woes that you face
But you shot with the same hands - you fall from grace
Every brother should be every brother's keeper
But you shot with your left while your right was on your beeper

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

As the world turns - it's a terrible waste
To see the stupid look stuck on your face
Timebomb alarm for the world - just try it
Known to all zones as the one man riot
I'm on a mission to set you straight
Children - it's not too late
Explain to the world when it's plain to see
To be what the world doesn't want us to be

Mind over matter - mouth in motion
Can't defy cause i'll never be quiet
Let's start this
Right

Ridenhour - sadler - shocklee

Testing - one - two
Testing - one - two
The house is now on fire
Spread the walls ya'll
Everybody get somebody we don't want anybody let fuck nobody
Cause you know what time it is
It's time to get busy
And when it's time to get busy
You know what you gotta do

You gotta
Raise the roof because it's all on fire
Not done by the sun or electrical wire
Not done by sons stricking matches with daughters
But done by scratches so save that water
This jam is packed so i just figure
All we need is the house to get bigger
So startin' with the roof down to the base
We're at your service to burn the place

Come on
Come on
Come on raise the roof
That's right
Raise the roof
Come on

With the spot as hot as it can get
An' the roof's on fire - you're soaked and wet
The puzzle on your face shows as you sweat
But your body keeps movin' with no regrets
Chandeliers shake, swing from front to back
Left to right all night - and the lights don't crack
Your minds on the time - hopin' it don't end
Cause it's time to get stupid - here we go again

Come on
Come on
Come on raise the roof
Come on
Raise the roof ya'll
Come on

Stare at the strope - pull your earlobe
For the sights and sounds clear across the globe
This jam might hit or miss the charts
But the style gets wild as state of the art
Dazzling in science - bold in nerve
But givin' my house what it deserves
Served on the floor cause i get payed
Make the fans that left, wished they had'a stayed
Realize my friend - ain't this a trip
As your body gets railed when you do the flip
And your mind gets rocked when we're on the roll
Then the freak of the week makes you lose control
A swatch for a watch - so you'll know the time
Your crowd gets loud and you clock my rhyme
The messiah's on fire and i'm living proof
I'll quench your desire and raise your roof

Come on
Come on raise the roof
Come on
Raise the roof
Come on

In school i'm cool throughout the week
When the weekend comes - i'm down with the greeks
Frat brothers known across the seven seas
Fly ladies of the 80's - sororities
The zetas, deltas, aka's
Women that keep me in a daze
The a-phi-a - sigma boys on the move
With the kappas and the ques and of course the groove
And for real it's the deal and the actual fact
Takes a nation of millions to hold me back
Rejected and accepted as a communist
Claimin' fame to my name as a terrorist
Makin' money in corners that you'll never see
Dodgin' judges and the lawyers and the third degree
Nothin' wrong with a song to make the strong survive
Realize gave me five cause i kept 'em alive
Mislead what you read about my devilish deeds
Mislead what i said so you're better off dead
Make 'em hear it and see it for the deaf and blind
And command it and we'll plan it for incapable minds
Take for granted and demand it from the wave of my hand
Make the jealous understand it and just say damn
When they see me ask a question - "how the hell can it be?"
When they watch me pull a serpent straight out of the sea
Turn the winter into summer - then from hot to cold
Expand my power on the hour - make you all behold
From the slammer swing a hammer like the mighty thor
God of thunder, you'll go under - then you'll all applaud
And fathom that distance, that the mad must reap
Meet namor sea lord - prince of the deep
Here for you to fear at any cost
Tellin you to get busy or you better get lost
Livin' lives civilized from the lessons i taught
Cities buried underground just because i went off
My friends, enemies - better be my friend
Is the question people guessin' is this the end?
End of the world - are you guessin' yes?
Just say and don't delay it - get it off your chest
Houses of crack - i've seen too much
I go ready - aim - fire - then i'll blow 'em up

Ridenhour - shocklee

Yo chuck, run a power move on them

Yeeaahh (x3)

Yeeaahh

Step back, get away - give the brother some room
You got to all turn me up when the beat goes boom
Lyric to lyric - line to line
Then you y'all understand my reputation for rhyme
Cause my rhyme reputation depends on what
Style of record my dj cuts
His slice an' dice - super mix so nice
So bad, you won't dispute the price
Cause it's plain to see - it's a strain to be
Number one in the public i enemy
Cause i'm wanted in 50 - almost 51
States where the posse got me on the run
It's a big wonder why i haven't gone under
Dodgin' all types of microphone thunder
A fugitive missin' all types of hell
All this because i talk so well
When i,

Chorus:
Rock - get up - get down
Miuzi weighs a ton
Hold it (x4)

The match up title - the expression of thrill
For elite to compete and attempt to get ill
If looks could kill - i'd chill until
All the public catches on to my material - you know
The ducks criticize my every phase of rapture
Can't wait to read the headlines of my capture
Accused of assault - a 1st degree crime
Cause i beat competitors with my rhyme
Tongue whipped, pushed, shoved and tripped
Coocked from the hold of my kung fu grip
And if you want my title - it would be suicidal
From my end - it would be homicidal
When i do work - you get destroyed
All the paranoid - know to avoid
The public enemy seat i've enjoyed
This is no kid and i'm not no toy boy

Chorus (x4)

I'm a public enemy but i don't rob banks
I don't shoot bullets and i don't shoot blanks
My style is supreme - number one is my rank
And i got more power than the new york yanks
If miuzi wasn't heavy i'd probably fire it
I'd make you walk the plank if i was a pirate
If they made me a king - i would be a tyrant
If you want to get me - go ahead and try it
Snatcher, dispatcher, biter never been a
Instead of takin' me out - take a girl to dinner
The level of comp has never been thinner
It's a runaway race where i'm the winner
It's unreal - they call the law
And claimed i had started a war
It was war they wanted and war they got
But they wilted in the heat when miuzi got hot

Chorus (x4)

My style versatile said without rhymes
Which is why they're after me an' on my back
Lookin' over my shoulder - seein' what i write
Hearin' what i say - then wonderin' why
Why they can't ever compete on my level
Superstar status is my domain
Understand my rhythm - my pattern of lecture
And then you'll know why i'm on the run
This change of events results in a switch
It's the lateral movement of my vocal pitch
It eliminates pressure on the haunted
But the posse is around so i got to front it
Plus employ tactics so coy
And leave no choise but to destroy
Soloists, groups and what they say
And all that try to cross my way
When i,

Chorus (x4)

Yeah, that's right
Public enemy number one in new york
Public enemy number one in philly
Public enemy number one in dc
Public enemy number one in cleveland, ohio
Also where public enemy number one in st. louis
Public enemy number one in new jersey
And bust it
Where also, public enemy number one in cincinnati
In atlanta

Ridenhour - drayton - shocklee

Yo! bum rush the show

I am taking no prisoners, taking no shorts
Breakin' with the metal of a couple of forts
While we're hearin' that boom supplement the mix
Gonna rush 'em like the bears in the 46
Homeboys i don't know but they're part of the pack
In the plan against the man, bum rush attack
For the suckers at the door, if you're up and around
For the suckers at the door, we're gonna knock you back down

Chorus:
Yo! bum rush the show (x4)

Yo, ??? around ??? ???
You're gonna tell us, man
That we can't get inside your spot?
Yo man, let me tell you somethin', man
We came all the way down here from the welch
Ya know what i'm sayin'
Yo man, you're talkin' about gettin' busy
Yo, you wanna get busy?
Come on, let's step to the back
Ya know what i'm sayin'
I take you to the back and show you some of my techniques
And i'll stomp a mud hole in your ass
Bitch

Searchin my body for fuckin' what
My gun's just for fun and my knife don't cut
How can i make you understand
I get ill on a posse with my goddamn hands
Troubles, not me, i don't mean to cause
But you took one look and began to pause
Didn't hoolar at the dollar we was willin' to spend
But you took one look, wouldn't let our ass in

Chorus (x4)

Yo homes, i don't know what you're talkin' about, man
But yo, bust a move man
Yo, me and my crew, we were in a four limo over last night
Ya know what i'm sayin'
And they are on their way my crib, man
Now yo, when you feel a ???
??? ??? talkin' that garbage
Yo, me and my crew got cold crash this side of the door
Ya know what i'm sayin'
Talkin' about a nine?
Yo, a nine ain't gonna stop the bum rush, homes

Chorus (x4)

Cold bum rushin' doors like at first it's something
All we realize that the show ain't nuthin'
For the stunts and the blunts, whole world inside
The reason that the mighty used force supplied
No comp, we'll stomp all in our way
Gave me static so i don't pay
It might be a trick that you don't like
Comin' in the side door then i'm grabbin' the mike
Walkin' and talkin' - fist full in the air
It might seem like that we don't care
A ho for an oh, a pow for an ow
Girls start screamin' all i say is wow
Get that sucker who shot that gun
Whip his monkey ass till it ain't no fun
5-o showed and wouldn't you know
They blamed it on the kid cause all i said was...

Chorus (x4)

Yeeaah man, yo
I was at the park last night
Ya know what i'm sayin'
Gold clocks for megadollars, man
An' these brothers, man
Walked up to me talkin' about they was gonna stick me up
Yo, man, let me tell you somethin', man
These are the same brothers, man, that tried to stick up ???
Ya know what i'm sayin'
But yo, i got a posse, man
That wouldn't let them bum rush my operation
Ya know what i'm sayin'
