Watch as the room rocks
Men only moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an MC
With your lack of skill and facility
You’re killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it’s real
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced

Daz:
Aw yeah!
Right about now it’s time to get busy
Huh, straight out the box, nonstop
Kurupt the kingpin, xzibit, crooked i
(wait a minute, um)
Crooked i:
This is the art of, manslaughter
When I’m rockin’ I’m more shockin’ than droppin’ a boom box in bath water
You entered the wrong scuffle
You catchin’ a chrome buckle
I uppercut niggas hard enough to break my own knuckles
Deliver the sick verbals
My shotty spit a round, before you hit the ground,
Your body spin around, in six circles
Diminishin’ infamous menaces
I’m waitin’ to get dicced, if not, I’m a start finishin’ innocents
Lyrics (lyrics), I’m breezin the region
Freezin g’s in your legion
Freakin’ ancient techniques when I’m speakin’ phoenician
It’s all about crooked
These bitches shout crooked
I’ll make you say the west coast ain’t shit without crooked
I own a vicious label, niggas’ll get disabled
When I’m spittin’ rhymes written on project kitchen tables
I load this 4-5 and let slugs dive at ya
Now that’s for crooked i, the scrap happy, mic snatcha
Daz:
Motherfuccers can you dig that, huh?
Can you fucc with this?
Let’s get kurupt the kingpin to fucc y’all niggas up
Y’all don’t wanna see none of this west coast mc shit
Yeah, how you like me now motherfucker!? !
Kurupt:
Terror starts, in the midst of your heart, starts
The storm, my vocals float like arts
In the mystic state of mind, when I create a rhyme
My microphone massacres every year the same time
With audio amputations, vocal thoughts of a loud talker
Up against the microphone night stalker
With a tendency of bashing mcs, like ten of me
As you can see I continue mashin’ mcs
Caboom, the room gets cleared as my views get clearer
Extra-terrestrial microphone terror
In effect, get infected
Tell me what the fucc you expected
These venemous injections
I leave whole sections, and sections full of injections
From these poisenous melodies and selections
I select the methods of slow anguish
I mangle shit with my language
Tell me, have you ever seen one elope
With the microphone
In a scandal like abilities to make mcs explode
Baboom, alone in my own zone
So don’t compare me to none
Not one’s nearly
Severe, cuz I severely, impare mcs
Near me, oppose and fear me, I got plots and theories
Sincerely, I could have the spot locked
Niggas get stoned for touching microphones
With no knowledge on how to rock
Daz:
Yeah, back in effect, it don’t stop
Turn your speakers up, dj battlecat on the table
We fuckin’ it up like this and like that, yeah
Got my homeboy xzibit in the motherfuccin’ house
Alkaholiks!
Xzibit:
When I was enlisted
I came to the table double fisted
Sadistic, heavy artillery, for all my enemies
Bust shots up in the sky screamin’ obsenities
Make niggas sport cackies and chucks from hear to italy
It’ll be, a cold day in hell when you see xzibit fail
Act like a bitch on bail, tuck tail, and run
See we do it how it can’t be done
I’m the rough cut, plus how the west was won
Or direct descendant of the gatling gun
Don’t test me son, you fucc around and catch you one
That ain’t a threat, that’s a promise I can definitely keep
You can’t compete wit’ 25 niggas wit’ heat in the street
Ready to repeat, round after after round at you
All hell break lose when the whole pound come through
I found that you and yours, can never fucc wit’ mine
I own shit but gimme some more like busta rhymes
Cross the line, now you gotta pay the piper
I’m the alkaholik sniper, that be keepin’ the crowds hyper
It’s ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Can’t stop till me and my niggas is platinum plus
My dogg kurupt
Daz:
Yeah, no shit
Yeah, y’all can’t fucc wit’ that
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
West coast, we been doin’ this shit for years
Aint nothin’ happenin’ wit’ that
Battlecat
(don’t step up)
Right, right
(don’t step up, unles you wanna get hurt)
Huh, huh, huh
(get get get get hurt)
Whatcha say
Motherfuccas that be hangin’ in the battle
(get hurt, get get get get hurt)
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
Daz dillinger
(don’t step up, unless you wanna get hurt)
Break it down, break it down
(mixed with battlecat’s scratching)
Motherfuccas can’t fade this shit

Listen up y'all
It's D-E-V-O
They say the night time is the right time
So now it's high time to choose your destiny
Take a hard line, let some fur fly
Learn to stay high above the stormy sea
They say the new age is the big rage
And the next stage will bring us to the edge
Now, escape from your golden cage then
Turn the page on the demons in your head
You gotta step up, get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scene
You gotta step up and get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up, pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up, pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what
Step up
They say the right time is the night time
So it's about time to do what you please
Avoid the drive-by, grip tight and steer right
Into some fine wine 'til you're buzzed and feeling free
Well, it's not over 'til the cows come home
It's not over 'til the fat lady sings
It's never too late to grab some gold
It's never too late to shake that thing
Shake
Nice
Let's go through this again
Step up, get to the bottom of it
Dig deep and go behind the scene
You gotta step up and get to the bottom of it
Go deep, show 'em what it means
You gotta step up, pull down and take a number
Hold firm, nip it in the bud
You gotta step up, pull down and take a number
Be firm, figure out what's what

1, 2, 3 - Go!
Broken,
Yeah, you've been living on the edge of a broken dream.
Nothing,

I'm never gonna stop,
I'm never gonna drop,
Ain't no different than it was before.
So take some good advice,
You better stop and think twice,
Before you take your first step,
Out that door.
If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
If you wanna step up (step up),
You're gonna get knocked down.
You had your chance to walk away.
Live to see another day.

You're gonna get knocked down (knocked down).
You're gonna get knocked down...
Aaaaah...
Suffering,
Yeah, that's the only thing here that's left for you.

[Chorus: DJ scratches]
"Step up"
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
Uh, uh, I think it's that time
For some real talk, uh
Nobody told you to lay in that bed
Nobody said for you to open them legs
You know what happen when sperm meet egg
A teenage mother is what you're pegged
That's another mouth need to be fed
The father gone, you alone and scared
There's another way out, don't say it
Many times in your thoughts you played it
So now your child here, don't hate it
Cause at the end of the day you made it
Rejoice in the blessing, be elated
It's too late once your period's belated
I ain't here tryna talk down
Just offer some advice on how to walk now
First it ain't about you, you living for your kids
The goal for them to have everything you never did
Show a lot of love, lot of kisses, lot of hugs
Positive role models, later for them thugs
You all about pussy and moving a few drugs
You don't think I'm talking to you? I never was
[Chorus]
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
What up? It's good to see you're doing right
And that you finally made a turn in your life
You got dreams, I suggest you try and live 'em
Cause second chances, only God give 'em
Family members looking down on you smiling
I got your back, don't think you on an island
Here's the chance to be the man that we all knew
Could one day shine through once your mind grew
Time flew, two years, one kid
Two nephews and they all getting big
You see? Life's better than the bid
We only get one and sometimes we skid
Straighten that will, got people in the backseat
Little dependence, depending on you, back sleep
You are the leader of this herd, they are your sheep
Sometimes we can't see it but life's sweet
Life's good, life's great
Got a bigger appetite? Get a bigger plate
When you the man of the house get a big estate
You been dreaming of the day? Well it's your day
[Chorus]
[Rapper Big Pooh:]
The time comes when we all gotta grow
When your time here, trust me, you'll know
I advise you to just take it slow
Enjoy being a kid, go with the flow
Cause pretty soon you gon' pay your own bills
And pretty soon you gon' know how it feels
To feel like the whole world's on your back
Devil's over your shoulder waiting for a reac-
Tion, and that ain't just for pretend my dear
I gotta tell you what you need to hear
And this is part of that good speech
Every man has with his siblings or his peeps
Okay, I made a few mistakes
And still tryna learn as a man what it takes
I really wanna help you out
Help you understand what growing up's about
Ease some of the pressure if you learn from me
All you have to do is wake up and see
That everyone ain't here to make it tough
We just want you doing better than us so step it up

Maybe when you get back on the ground and your head stops floating
You will realize, take a look around and you'll see what's been forming
Maybe when you get back on the ground you'll see it before me
Turn it inside out and upside down you'll see what's been forming
Now, will you break down?
Will you break now, or will you step up to me and fight?
Now, will you shut down?
Will you break now, or will you turn your back on me and lie?
Hold the world upon my shoulder
Let it slide, let it slide
Hold your head up and start it over
Let it slide, let it slide
We're not covering up a crime
We're not saying that we're divine
We're not wasting any time
Why don't you just go back in time?
The skin beneath shines through
As you slowly deceive the ones around
Holding tightly
Only what you will keep to yourself
Hold it tightly, only what you will
Unwound completely, nothing left to steal
Step up slowly, only if you will
Keep to yourself
Let you know that you can...

What we be tellin these cats? Yo, yo. "Step up, nigga"
--Step Up-- *echoes* All them niggaz out there
Tellin on all them niggaz violatin STEP UP
[Verse One]
Yo, yo; from the Himalays to the pyramids of Egypt
Pace Won flow is dumb as Forest Gump weeded
Lynch Mob's, Hit Squad's then I freak with
More Golddiggers than E or PMD did
(Ha!) Word like so many hoochies on my penis
By the time I'm twenty-nine I have more Suns than Phoenix
Watch the man bust, pose for the cameras
And have reporters running/back like Barry Sanders
(Yo!) My habits is spray paint (tsss) and rap fresh
Pace Won gets more bank than NatWest
Walkin round thinkin what face to slap next
Like Latifah my Wrath is Madness
Ho-ha, more smooth than Billy D.
Drinkin Colt 45 eyes slant like Phillipines
Serve the baseheads, my raps kill the fiends
That wanna MC but don't know what it means
Chorus:
People wanna act large but can't take charge
I tell em --Step Up-- *echoes*
Yo, yo; Kids ask me for advice Pace on how to be nice
I tell em --Step Up-- *echoes*
Yo, yo; If I see your sister cryin or fallin behind
I tell her --Step Up-- *echoes*
Yo, yo; If you don't need your teeth and your crew want beef
Then you can --Step Up-- *echoes*
Yo, yo, Bring em all, yo-yo
[Verse Two]
Since my small days always been real
With raps thats more fat/phat than that ass on Kim Fields
I'm roastin roaches, poets think I'm Moses
Partin oceans, people feel me like emotions
A poet and truth, I roll with the jewels
Voice of the youth (uh) one a ya diehard boys that'll shoot
Keep my rep up, rappers want somethin tell em --Step Up-- *echoes*
Chorus
[Verse Three]
Yo, yo; You look soft, I hook off and kick butt
Attack like Hitler, if your boys weak avoid me like I was thicker
Rollin with the rich kids
Slick like the mac of the year, I know bitches
They bite you, scratch you, kick you in the groin
A two-headed coin that be makin people point (look)
And talk soft, but I walked off, I'll remember
Defender of my people, makin legal tender
Got it made, no more goin to court now
I'm out doin the world while my brother hold the fort down
He said, "Pace slit the wrist if the cross you"
When your hands are tied, you're only doin what your forced to
Don't hate the Pace Won just cause my records sellin
Find a playa hater and I tell'im

[verse 1]
Did you ever have a girl and you thought she was it
To find out in the long run she ain't even shit
Dress her up nice, sport her all over town
And then behind your back she likes sleepin around
She's steppin out late while you're home in bed
To another brother kickin bass all in her head
You're layin there, lookin at her photo in frame
And you're chirpin like a bird while you're singin her name
You call her every night, then you're off by 10
When you hang up the phone, she hits the road again
Sad what I'm sayin, but it's gotta be true
Everybody knows your girl better than you
But what I'm sayin is this: you said she'd never do wrong
You met her at first, she did a dancin song
Said I'll stay with you forever and brighten your world
Face it, somebody bumpin your girl
Somebody else bumped your girl
And the thought of it wrecked your world
Somebody else bumped your girl
It makes you mad, don't it?
Somebody else bumped your girl
And the thought of it wrecked your world
Somebody else bumped your girl
It make you ill, won't it?
[verse 2]
I met this kid named jesse on my way uptown
Sittin on the train, on his face was a frown
I said my man, what's the matter? then he started to sweat
Said my girl left the crib, and she didn't come home yet
Foxxx, I'm hurt, sad as could be
Cause everytime she leaves, she always calls me
But I ain't heard a word, I'm worried to death
I can't understand why she up and just left
How long has it been? he said about six days
And man, I did a lotta prayin, and I hope that it pays
I looked him in his face, told him don't be a cad
Cause ain't a girl in the world, it's insanity, mad
You better start thinkin and preparin your heart
Cause if you hear the wrong thing, you'll be torn apart
Jesse stood up, the train came to a stop
Had a look on his face like he was about to pop
I said so what's up? then he looked in my grill
Kinda like I look myself when I'm bout to get ill
He was lookin on a platform, right by a can
His girl lockin lips with another man
Jesse broke stupid, and pulled out a tool
And started lickin off like a crazy fool
The brother went rambo, actin wild
And shot sixteen people at the turnstyle
The girl got sick when she saw blood flowin
The brother she was with did a jesse owens
I couldn't believe the brother ruined his world
All because somebody else bumped his girl
Somebody else bumped your girl
And the thought of it wrecked your world
Somebody else bumped your girl
It makes you mad, don't it?
[verse 3]
Now i'ma tell you all a story bout my man jim stone
Who had a three-floor mansion and a yacht of his own
He had enough money, but what capes the cake
He had the baddest girl in about 10 states
All about he ever talked about was lovin his girl
And how he'd never touch another in the whole wide world
Jim got the nerve, wants to buy her a ring
And when he put it on her finger, she was ready to sting
The brother had a party at his crib one night
Had the place laid out, and the music was hype
About 100 people, I would say, no less
Freddie foxxx ain't stupid, I can knowledge a mess
I noticed his girl, she kept grinnin a lot
She was hangin round the fireplace in this one spot
She looked like she was waitin for a train or a bus
She was waitin for jim's best man, his boy gus
Gus got slick, took the girl by the hand
And dipped the step like the bionic man
I stood there shakin my head, I had a flashback
Bout what happened uptown by the traintracks
Jim came over and he said to me fred
I got a real bad thought bumrushin my head
I said so what's the matter? then he looked at me twice
And said I can't find my best man gus or my wife
Jim was on a mission, I could look in his eyes
And see the meter on his blood pressure startin to rise
He headed up the steps and I followed behind
And I could tell by his face he had death on his mind
He stood by the room and the door was cranked
Then he took off his shirt, and then we both stepped back
Jim kicked the door open and he stuck in his head
And saw gus and his wife both naked in bed
Jim grabbed a bat, and I tell you the truth
He was swingin homeruns like my man babe ruth
He left em both layin there, stiff as a board
And he turned to me and said freddie foxxx, I scored
Two accounts murder one, now he sits in his cell
With a life-long sentence and a story to tell
I couldn't believe the brother ruined his world
All because somebody bumped his girl
Somebody else bumped your girl
And the thought of it wrecked your world
Somebody else bumped your girl
It makes you mad, don't it?
Somebody else bumped your girl
And the thought of it wrecked your world
Somebody else bumped your girl
It make you ill, won't it?

My shit is Ironman magazine built, flip through the pages
See my lyrics straight posin on cycles, they flex the looks
I'm black coffee for you non-morning people, feel my Joe
Lock it down, slippin tight in a bow, don't press the issue
My shit is out here, water partner you tissue
Deep back in that Cadillac, I'm pullin heat from under the seats
I drive a garbage truck for trash talkin, {?}, alleyway, stray cats
I toss you in the back and drop you off at the dump
I'm comin out, aerobic mailman, the shape you drop you writ in lettuce
My sack is full and my delivery is John Stockton
You rent your looks, you left your rest fly and came back busted
Reviewing applications, everybody's fired
Lyrics kinetic let it set it embedded
Up in they head is baldheaded dreaded afros get wetted, when I met her
Take fate, today's date, I'm out to just D great
I'm headed for the papers and shredded, currency yo
My edit mastered down and it's loaded, leave you bloated
More filling great taste in your belly, new connection
Next level, takin over all sections, one direction
I got a daughter out here half Mexican, she need to eat
Back up off the mic and pull up your Underoos, I ain't no pedophile
The street lights, get yo' ass home, I'm on yo' hyde is chapped
They love it when I'm checkin these raps
"step up if you wanna get hurt.."
["step up" - scratched repeatedly]
"step up if you wanna get hurt.."
["step up" - scratched repeatedly]
"step up if you wanna get hurt.."
[Kool Keith]
Yo, I see rap now, it's all scam and marketin
Promotion budget, you frontin, you drive a bucket
Got your laminates from baldheaded Jack the Rapper
You ain't no rapper, actin like you Micky Jagger
You out there riffin, I'm makin calls to Gene Griffin
Impact avengeance, female rappers with extensions
Sewin they wig skullcaps, tryin to cover naps
P's in the back of they beanie, a rented Lamborghini
You frontin hard on BET, tryin to eat linguini
You ain't Italian, with 6 carat your fake medallions
Frontin ass homo, rap style can't flow slow
Money for stickers, burn the kids who drew your first logo
Be duckin royalties, sabotage, wack MC's
Your facilities, on 4 track, when you record
You never walk away with tights and a rap reward
No matter how complex, you try to make the equation
I light a match and throw it at you at a gas station
Open yo' can up, and bake yo' left mic hand up
You wanna stand up, you married boy, bring your man up
You got the wedgie, your thong showin, lookin edgy
["step up" - scratched repeatedly]
"step up if you wanna get hurt.."
["step up" - scratched repeatedly]

Wake up from the voice in my head
I'm terrified from all the things that it said
Hang glide from the most vivid dream
The reality's not what I want it to be
I shut down when I need to stand up
Crashing out when I'm supposed to wake up
Let's come down like we're coming of age
An inside joke that doesn't quite play
I want to float away into yesterday
I've got to step up
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
As I creep up, I'll float out
I have to find some peace in my head
I speak up, you say the time has come
Waiting for the answer on the tip of my tongue
So what, I'm just half at ease
Cynical screaming and laughing at me
I want to float away into yesterday
I've got to step up
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
As I creep up, I'll float out
I have to find some peace in my head
Reeling on the ceiling
I've got to step up
Can't you see I'm hanging by a thread
As I creep up, I'll float out

Go tell it on the mountain, like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover's land, they got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Take a step back to the middle of the track
You know it's rumored all around, says you know it's come to town
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
'Cause the rumors are around said you're coming back to town
And with every little lie, you come and never blink an eye
You know you've got yourself all tied up when you're around
I've got the modern world behind me, like a needle in a haystack find me
They build you up and then they're going to burn you down
So take a step back to the middle of the track
The rumors all around, said you're coming back to me
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down
I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside
Wanted by, haunted by
I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul
Gonna look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Le, le, da, le
Telling me, ah ha, uh hu
Ooh, look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Telling me, ah ha, uh hu
Don't tell me it's a bad dream
Don't tell me it's not what it seems
Don't tell me pretty soon you know
You gonna call me now
Gotta stop the roller coaster
Gotta make the most of it
Gonna pull you down
Gotta make the most of it

~Talking~
The problems I think with most relationships is that..
We take each other for granted
Me and my girlfriends talk about this all the time
There's one in particular she's been in her relationship
For three years and she feels like she's not getting 100%
You know it's give, give, give, and get nothing in return
But I just told her...
It ain't gone get no better until you take control
See girlfriend if you let him, let him he'll try and take your soul
But tell him, HELL NO, it ain't goin down like that
And tell him as a matter of fact things around here are gone change
And if he wants you then he gone have to give you his best
You ain't gone take nothing less, tell him it's a brand new day
So be a man and..
Step up, you gotta let him know that you're fed up
Don't let him hold you down time to get up
I tell you it's the only way, only way so don't you
Let up it's all about you so hold your head up
And if you can't get it right it's time to shake up
Child it's the only way
See what is is is....
He's taking you for granted you let it be that way
Now you must make him listen. listen
To you when you say ,hell no, HELL NO it ain't going down like that
And tell him as a matter of fact things around here are gone change
And if he wants you then he gone have to give you his best
You ain't gone take nothing less tell him it's a brand new day
So be a man and...
Step up you got to let him know that you're fed up
Don't let him hold you down time to get up
I tell you it's the only way, only way so don't you
Let up it's all about you so hold your head up
And if you can't get it right it's time to shake up

You got a problem with my cookie cutter life?
I'll put you back in your place
And if you're looking at my cookie cutter wife
I'll kick the smile off your face
My only daughter is an honor role student
And a goalie on the soccer ball team
I know it sounds a little boring at the moment
But we ain't exactly what we seem
I got a woman with thirty-two teeth
And a daughter at a picket fence
And in the garage sits a little sedan
And a minivan with just a couple of dents
All for a limited time
It isn't dandy and fine because of my ignorance
Oh, right now it seems to me
My greatest enemy is common sense
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
Step up, you think you can handle it
Back off, don't make no demands to me
Right now, I'm sick of it all
And I think I might snap with my back to the wall
So c'mon
The only problem with my cookie cutter life
It's on me that everyone depends
I always gotta take my cookie cutter knife
And cut myself apart to meet those ends
And every time I try to sit my family down
Just to talk to me, they never do
I heard it's the only way to really get to know them
Now I know it's true
I finally got a realization of where all my money goes
To my cars, my house and two bars
My wife's ass and up my daughter's nose
Told my shrink what I think about it all
And he said that that's the way that it goes
Oh, right now, it doesn't comfort me
To hear this is the life I chose
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
Step up, you think you can handle it
Back off, don't make no demands to me
Right now, I'm sick of it all
And I think I might snap with my back to the wall
So c'mon
Step up, you think you can handle it
Back off, don't make no demands to me
Right now, I'm sick of it all
And I think I might snap with my back to the wall
So fuck off
Left, right, left, right
Left, right, left, right
Step up, you think you can handle it
Back off, don't make no demands to me
Right now, I'm sick of it all
And I think I might snap with my back to the wall
So c'mon
Step up, you think you can handle it
Back off, don't make no demands to me
Right now, I'm sick of it all
And I think I might snap with my back to the wall

Maybe when you get back on the ground and your head stops floating
You will realize, take a look around and you'll see what's been forming
Maybe when you get back on the ground you'll see it before me
Turn it inside out and upside down you'll see what's been forming
Now, will you break down?
Will you break now, or will you step up to me and fight?
Now, will you shut down?
Will you break now, or will you turn your back on me and lie?
Hold the world upon my shoulder
Let it slide, let it slide
Hold your head up and start it over
Let it slide, let it slide
We're not covering up a crime
We're not saying that we're divine
We're not wasting any time
Why don't you just go back in time?
The skin beneath shines through
As you slowly deceive the ones around
Holding tightly
Only what you will keep to yourself
Hold it tightly, only what you will
Unwound completely, nothing left to steal
Step up slowly, only if you will
Keep to yourself

Here we go, that’s right,
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh, let’s go y’all
And, 5 6 7 with the vocals
Ooh-ooh (Oo-oo-ooh)
Ooh-ooh (Hey)
Ooh-ooh
Alright Dorinda work it girl
M-mm (O-oh) yeah
Right here...and now
Is what...it's all about
Bring on... the crowd
We're ready,steady,
strong and proud
We're locked...it shows
No stoppin' us, we're in the zone
Red hot...we know
In it to win it, girls let's go
[Chorus:]
STEP UP
It's time to work it
STEP OUT
GOTTA DO IT FOR REAL
SAY IT LOUD
It’s time to dance step up and shine the way it feels
STEP UP
IT'S NOW OR NEVER
All the Cheetah Girls
SAY IT LOUD
Right here together
Time for us to show the world
Show 'em what we're workin' with
We got it
Let's turn...away
from the mirror...it's time to play
Our rules...our game
We know we've got just what it takes
We've come...this far
Sometimes...it might be hard
Each one of us a superstar
[Chorus]
We believe it 'cause we know we can
Reach any dream,now we understand
There's no givin' up or givin' in
5,6,7,8
Again...again...again
C'mon girls...work it
Ooo, Chanel
Dorinda, go on girl
Aqua, do your thing
That's right, Galleria
Never gonna step 'til we
reach the top
Never gonna stop
Never gonna stop 'til we
reach the top
[Chorus]
Say it loud for me now
It's the dance break time to
work it out
Break it down for me now
Cheetahs in the house won't you
dance for me now
Work it out for me now
Cheetahs in the house won't you
shine for me now
Dorinda, Chanel, Galleria, Aqua in the house
won't you sing it for me now

Watch as the room rocks
mentally moon walk
mixed media slang
banging in your boom box
verbal violence, lyrical stylists
in a time when rock-hip hop rhymes are childish
you can't tell me with rhymes that are empty
rapping to a beat doesn't make you an MC
with your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
and a DJ in the group just for credibility
i heard it somewhere you were getting help with your rhymes
you're not an mc if someone else writes your lines
rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
cause rock and hip hop collaborated for years
but now they're getting readily mixed and matched up
well after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
so how does it stack up, none of it's real
you wanna be an MC, you gotta study the skill
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you everytime like this?
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step step up step step up
so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
but mentally you don't have the hip hop energy
with a tendency to make up stories
sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40
and your record companies completely miss it
and all the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
so in a battle you can't hack it, react with whack shit
and get smacked with verbal back flips
get your ass kicked a fabulous battle catalyst
it's taken decades for MC's to establish this
you're new to hip hop, and welcome if you're serious
but not on the mic, leave that to the experience
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you everytime like this?
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step step up step step up
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you everytime like this?
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step step up step step up

*This is something for the radio*
*This is something for the radio*
*This is something for the radio*
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor
it's me and you
Feel the rhythm of the beat, thats my heart
Cupid shot me with an arrow, from the start
And you know that its your love thats got me trapped,
every time I try to leave, you bring me back
So much harder, at times, I cried a river
You dried my eyes, and brought me back to laughter
And when I lay next to you, I wanna wake up
And when I break up, it's only to make up
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor
it's me and you
If we don't step up, we lose our groove
So confused, don't know which way to move,
Hold my hand and let me know you feel me too
Look into my eyes and tell me "Baby I love You"
You'll never get wet, 'cuz I'll be your umbrella
And we can make it, through any kind of weather
You step up, I'll step up, boy
'Cuz I'm tryin to be with you forever
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor
it's me and you
When I step into place I feel my feet,
Lifting from under me
You grab my hands, spin me around,
And right before I fall, you catch me and you say,
"Baby it'll be okay. Just look into my eyes,
and we will make another day!"
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor
it's me and you
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor
it's me and you
(Step Up)
*This is something for the radio*
*This is something for the radio*
*This is something for the radio*
(Ooooooh!)
Boy, no matter what we go through,
you step up I'll step up too,
it don't matter what the haters say,
long as you are my bou
And no matter how hard it gets,
this love will have no regrets,
long as when I'm steppin' on the dance floor

Come
If our own lives aren't directly affected
Then it don't need to be corrected
Our fucking gift is our ignorance
Yeah, we're really serious
As they're paying for deliverance
We shut ourselves from the outcries
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores
'Cause we know we've got greatness within us
We have greatness within us
Innovative, giving, determined
It's time for the best in us to come out
And you can find inbalance
You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
Step up today
Yes, solid
Now let me get one thing straight, you know what?
Sometimes I do wish apples were our currency
So your hoarded millions would rot in their vaults
And that'd teach you to lay off the assault
That you're barraging on the lands of the poor
And I know we've all got enough problems of our own
But, but they're not show stoppers sitting on our throne in a home
Heated by a life unknown to the exploited
And it's so frustrating, the fucking state we're in
If our own lives aren't directly affected
Then it don't need to be corrected
Our fucking gift is our ignorance
Yeah, we're really serious
As they're paying for deliverance
We shut ourselves from the outcries
We blinker ourselves from the eyesores
And you can find inbalance
You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
Step up today
And you can find inbalance
You can destroy inbalance
And you can change your values
Step up today
Why is it that so many companies
Don't deserve us and can't get rid of us?
