Sample Instrumentals of Naughty By Nature's "OPP" Lyrics: ATC, how can I explain it I'll take you frame by frame it To have ya'll understanding this is how I'm sayin it A is for Athletic, T for Training what you heard about The last C...well...that just means we're certified We be managing injury risk and prevention Here are things that are highlights I should probably mention First we gotta dress in our polos and our khakis, Then we finish with a fancy Fanny packy, Bust it You know we do more than just tape, evaluate an injury, We manage risks if you need help then you can come see me, We do prehab, protective pads, for safety in all sports, And you know that I got your back, get it? Spine board It's not just drinks, R to the E to the H to the A to the B, We'll get you back playing even better (And that's whats so scary) It's ATC, assess an injury by asking how you did it, Did you feel a pop or did you just (HIT IT!) I'll palpate and check your range to see if you're a mess, Anywhere, No need to stress I got them special tests So now you know, It's ATC if you're not down with it, NATA, that's our membership [Chorus:] You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (Every last Athlete) You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (All the Athletes) As for the ladies, ATC means nothing different, A growing profession for every gender and race is why we're gifted, It's the wound care, the casting, the creative fabrications, We deal with those that are compliant and those that be complaining, I won't get into that, Just let us treat you please, I'll respond to the small or big emergencies, Then we'll rehabilitate, come cooperate, and do so exactly, We'll work on motion and on strength to get you back to play, Rehab you back, stronger in fact, that's good wouldn't you say? We do e-stim and ultrasound and even some massage, Modalities and that's a fact we have a barrage, We don't just do these things to do them yes we have a reason, The megahertz, the watts, positioning we learned through teaching, If you have questions you wanna ask then we can teach you too, We are glad to teach you things that you had never knew, I'm here to talk if you're in need then you can contact me, Cause ATC's (ATC's) we know psychology, All types of people, old and young, with different traits, We treat the patient as a whole and not just cuts and scrapes [Chorus:] You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (Every last Athlete) You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (All the Athletes) This one girl needed an ATC, She's eatin' Mcy D's on the reg fast food feeding frenzy You need to eat good food to stay healthy cause that's my mission, We teach kids the lifestyle of healthy nutrition, It's not all action all the time we need these skills like patience, Cause we do tons of paperwork health care administration, We're keeping files, deal with insurance companies, Physician interaction all the time to a high degree, Staying smart with CEUs and never out of tuning, Aka they're called continuing education units, We're constantly learning and oh so I don't forget to mention, To all my ATC's I'll see you at convention, To learn new treatments and actually the fact is, The stuff I know is through evidence based practice, That's rule number one in this ATC establishment, We're here for young and old for all the women and men A health care profession in your community, With service, advocacy, and with unity, With acute or chronic issues it's a no brainer, Contact the jack of all trades, aka your certified athletic trainer [Chorus:] You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (Every last Athlete) You down with ATC (Yeah you know me) [x3] Who's down with ATC (All the Athletes)
