lirik lagu the showboys - the ten laws of rap
all rise, the honorable showboys, now presiding
we’re gonna lay down some laws that must be repeated
and if they’re forgotten than the purpose is defeated
we’re the judge, the juror and a matter of fact
executioners for the mcs who are wack
like the irs, we’re investigating
all mcs we feel are perpetrating
a fraud, it’s time we add one clause
all mcs must abide by the laws
the laws
whoo!
it’s like this and like this and
it’s time to move y’all
it’s very, very fresh now
well, a law one, use words that sound ordinary
not just the ones that’s listed in a b-boy dictionary
law two, try to dress with some debonair
when you come on stage you got to wear fresh gear
law three, never curse on the microphone
’cause it sounds ignorant like you have no home
law four, 50 mcs in a crew [?] down
by the time you’re through the crowd’s nowhere around
law five, so the crowd never says you’re soft
you got to rock a live beat ’til they all step off (off, off, off)
whoo!
ha-ha, ha ha
uh!
work it
law six, sittin’ on the mic is made for workin’ it out
the words supposed to flow straight from the mouth
law seven, using harmony you got to use it right
or you sound like the pips without gladys knight
law eight, just because the word seem to rhyme
don’t come out your face and waste our time
with rhymin’ and hymen and climbin’
and timin’ and limin’ and diamond ’cause it just won’t work
you’ll only look like a fool and sound like a jerk
law nine, energy’s important when you do your show
you know you’re the best you’ve got to let ’em know
imagination separates the men from the boys
so rap mcs (rap, rap mcs), rap mcs you got to go for yours
law ten, if you happen to forget your rhymes
don’t get all mad and let it blow your mind
if all else fails and you think you’re through
you got to have a live beat do the work for you
uh!
whoo!
ha-ha, ha ha
ya!
cut it up, cut it up now
ph-ph-ph-ph philly d, (can can!) are we original or not?
so i think we better show you that we can rock
it’s philly d on the mic gonna work your body rock
these laws we recite shouldn’t take too light
not sayin’ i’m perfect or your rhymes sound bad
but some of you mcs have a hard head
’cause you get on the mic like no one’s around
in front of 3 million listeners soundin’ like a clown
start schemin’ on the mic like you’ve just been robbed (billy d!)
but you got to realize this is like a job
and it’s me, can can, a straightforward guy
i always tell the truth, i never tell no lies
’cause then i got to run and find a alibi
and why huh? i got nothin’ to hide
i don’t want to beat a dead horse to the ground
but the laws we mentioned must be spread around
’cause there’s young girls and boys lookin’ up to you
so come on mcs, make me proud too, ha!
we know laws were meant to be broken
but if you break these you’ll be a half-steppin’ mc
mpj, go all the way!
uh!
we know laws were meant to be broken
but if you break these you’ll be a cold-chokin’ mc
keith d!
oh baby, you know drive d crazy
don’t try to get lazy ’cause we know it’s the b-ss that’s drivin’ you crazy
crazy, ha!
whoo!
crazy, crazy, ha!
c love, all the way from the heaven’s above
whoo!
do it, do it now
uh!
whoo!
that’s all she wrote
