Mos Def - Body Rock (featuring Q-Tip & Tash) Lyrics
(Mos Def)
Aight, uhh, alright y'all slow down I'm tryin' ta
Aight, yo I I only took a little bit of Spanish you gotta
Aight I hear what you're sayin'' but yo, aight okay
Alright okay, alright okay okay
Alright okay, I'm feelin' you, okay
Alright okay, alright okay okay
Alright okay, I'm feelin' you yo
All my people in' Brooklyn and you know we're hot, I say
We don't stop, the Body Rock
All my people in' Queens and the land in' between say we
Don't stop, the Body Rock
Shaolin' and L-I say you know we're fly, say we
Don't stop, the Body Rock
From the East to the West son we take it to the chest say we
Don't stop, the Body Rock
Check me out y'all
I'm in' the lab with Ab, I got the band they're fat
My man T-A-S-H take it to your breastplate
It's the Mighty Mos Def, complete the trilogy
Just shot myself a dime, see are you feelin' me?
Son I'm wicked and nice when I'm on facility
Let me take a sec to review what I wrote *paper rustlin'g*
Mos Def and I sound par fresh OK it's dope
Let's record this ('cord this) they gonna want dis (want dis)
And all area crew is gonna flaunt this *clappin'g*
And when we step to the plate Pah it's flawless
My man T-A-S-H with styles glory great
Great, great great, great great uh uhh uh uhh uh uhh uh
(Tash)
Up next we got CaTash with that West coast rhymin'
Bombin' n***az with the style that's dangerous as mountain' climbin' (ahhhh!)
Cause the Alkie words I'm spittin'' be twistin' while you listenin'
Plus I'm in' this motherf**ker with the Likwit coalition
Gotta leave you in' position, twist it backwards like dough go
While you starin'' down my throat like, "Is he drunk or is he sober?"
WHO KNOWS, all I know is Tash got flows
And got the technique to get the ladies out of they clothes
I been overly exposed to the forty-oh's and chickens
So I'ma keep it pumpin' til the beat stop kickin''
Or til the plot thickens, cause this is how we do
CaTashTrophe, Mos Def, and the brother man QUE
(Q-Tip)
What's up Tash, hey yo, Tip can't call it
Sure as Mos is Def and you Alkaholik
I'ma be surfin' at, thin'g that's worth dealin'
Hypodermically, shoot up your feelin''
Figuratively, speakin' of course now
Old and greedyness, seekin' it's course now
What we gonna do, eradicate them
Shoot them from the jam, they fear disease
(Mos Def)
Tash Love are you ready to rock the mic?
Q-Tip are you ready to rock the mic!
Mos Def are you ready to rock the mic?
We got the universal style that you got to like!
And ain''t nobody steppin' up when we got the mic
So turn the A.C. up cause it's hot tonight!
And til the bright early morn' we be rockin' you all
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
(Tash)
Cause I'm next to flex, and I'm technically advanced
To turn you on like cybersex, so in' less than two sec's
I blin'd MC's like Thomas Dolby with the Science that'll leave
They brain' cells fryin' slowly (FIRE!) so slowly I flow and
Express written consent, from the undergroundin' n***az
Coast II Coast I represent cause gettin' bent, I do
But I'm doper than sherm plus the way I put it down
Could burn the perm off Big Worm, so peace and pipe this greeting of the Last Action Hero that be freezin' rappers dead in' they tracks like Sub Zero (Zero), cause Rico ain't no joke
I eat your flows and yo' beat up rappers even feel my presence when I'm home with my feet up
(Mos Def)
For what you skied up or treed up
Relax and pull a seat up, make your landlord turn the heat up
Got the opposition shook like Tiger Woods about to tee up
So n***az no competition with the clear Mos Definition
MC's screamin' now for years can't rhyme without they mom's permission
You just a young'un comin' out, gettin' gassed to run your mouth
Wildin' on the Runabout, Baby Pah you comin' out
Barkin' that you want a bout but son you know the comeabout
When Mos Def blow up and, you don't, nuttin'
Don't you know nuttin'? My crew go huntin'
We keep it on the norm then we transform somin'
And while, we do it, you bounce to it
The cops wanna stop the Body Rock but don't do it
(Q-Tip)
DY-NO-MITE Like Jimmy J.J.
Swap down pen-ny, somewhere in' L.A. (A)
Now we got to bond like Voltron (tron)
Tash you the bomb, Mos you the won ton (ton)
Q will pick the lead, I must drop on thee (thee)
A-B-S, I bust down, facility (ty)
T-R-A-C-T is the MC (cee)
It's the LL, inside the place to be (be)
(Mos Def)
Tash Love are you ready to rock the mic?
Q-Tip are you ready to rock the mic!
Mos Def are you ready to rock the mic?
We got the universal brothers that you got to like!
Now ain''t nobody steppin' up when we got the mic
So turn your A.C. up cause it's hot tonight!
And til the bright early morn' we'll be rockin' you all
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
All my people out in Queens that know you're hot, you say
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
All my people out in Brooklyn and you know we're hot, say
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
Shaolin' to L-I and you know we're fly, said
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
All the people on the Greens and the land in between said
Don't stop, the Body Rock!
No stoppin'
No stoppin'
Out in' Jersey no stoppin'
Philadelp-I-I no stoppin'
Chi Town gettin' down the playgrounds
Detroit you say no stoppin'
In' Cali no stoppin'
And the great V-A no stoppin'
Cause in the Brooklyn town no stoppin'
And the Boogie Down no stoppin'
L-I and Queens no stoppin'
And you see Medin'a Greens no stoppin'
You know we, Lyricist Lounge no stoppin'
And my man Abstract no stoppin'
Cause see we never the wack no stoppin'
Don't stop, the Body Rock
D-dah, don't stop
