Intro:
N.C.
Yo...
 
Verse 1:
G#m
Watch as the room rocks, mentally moonwalk
 
Mixed Media slang banging in your boom box
E
Verbal violence, lyrical stylist
 
In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish
 
G#m
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
 
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC
E
With your lack of skill and facility, you're killing me
 
And a DJ in the group just for credibility

G#m
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
 
You're not an MC if someone else writes your lines
E
Rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
 
â??Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
 
G#m
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
 
All after a fast buck, and all the tracks suck
E
So how does it stack up? None of it's real
 
You want to be an MC, you've got to study the skill
 
Chorus:
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
C#m                  F#m
Bring it to you every time like this?
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
A5                  B
Step, step up! Step, step up!
 
 
Verse:
G#m
So, you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
 
But mentally, you don't have the hip hop energy
E
With a tendency to make up stories (Bullshit)
 
Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40
 
G#m
And your record company is completely missing it
 
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
E
So in a battle, you can't hack it, react with whack shit
 
And get smacked with verbal back flips
 
G#m
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
 
It's taken decades for MC's to establish this
E
You're new to hip-hop, and welcome if your serious
 
But not on the mic, leave that to the experienced
 
G#m
Using the waves of sound
A5                 B  A              G#m
The true master paralyzes his opponents
  F#m    G#m             B
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
 
 
Chorus:
 
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
C#m                  F#m
Bring it to you every time like this?
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
A5                  B
Step, step up! Step, step up!
 
 
Bridge:
G#m                                     A
After years of pain-staking research by the world's leading sound scientists
G#m                                     A
We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system
G#m                                     A                                G#m
Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack and
 A
neutralize the cellular structure of the human body And the question must be askedâ?¦
 
 
Chorus:
 
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
C#m                  F#m
Bring it to you every time like this?
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
A5                  B
Step, step up! Step, step up!
 
G#m                  E5 D#5

C#m                  F#m
Bring it to you every time like this?
G#m                  E5 D#5
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
A5                  B
Step, step up! Step, step up!
