Throwdown 2000

Lyrics

[Chorus] Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And give a loc a little dap when he roll through [Verse 1] If it be a dope beat that all y'all seek Get up out your seat and let me see your technique Freak your physique and you bet' not come weak Make it hot and sweaty like twenty deep in a jeep Never comin' cheap, 40 creep, and I Hope you don't mind if I borrow a few things while you go to sleep I steal knowledge from the rich and give it to the poor, it's Coolio loco, the ghetto witch doctor, super you are Take it from the back and bring it to the front 'Cause you gotta give the people what they want, lil' punk Do the stomp, do the butt, big homie, shake your gut As long as you get your ass up (Up) It's a party over here and let me make it clear 40 Thevz is the crew, so you better come anew Ain't a damn thing change since the first one And if you didn't hear the album, go get one (Get one) [Chorus] Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And give a loc a little dap when he roll through [Verse 2] Here come the thief on the old school beat And I never knew the meaning of the word defeat The master of disguise wanna see the people rise Yet, fools try to deny that the mind is fly Just cook 'em all up like gumbo and block they ass like Mutumbo 'Cause your album dropped off the charts like Dumbo We are new and improved to make you put on your boogie shoes Like K.C. and the Sunshine Band or the Wu-Tang Clan I go way back like Vegas, Nixon, Noreaga It's the tennis shoe players fat box on the crossfader Now what if hip-hop was like Humpty Dumpty sittin' on the wall And what if hip-hop had to take a great fall? And What if rhyme was a crime and each and every time That you spit a dope line, you might have to do some time? Most of these clowns will be tryin' to skip town But Coolio will be ready for the showdown [Chorus] Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And pass a joint to the loc when he roll through [Verse 3] If the shoe fit, put it on and step And if your ass can't cash, don't let your mouth write no check Fools be in the fours or the vans with a switch Uppercuts and karate kicks from Weird Al yank-it-quick From Tokyo to Sojo, rollin' with the 4-0 This hip-hop that I'm holding'll make you remove your coat It's the mandingo, everything but rhyme's broken Breakin' and enterin' first position I supported You can't understand how I do it, I'm just true to it I let my pen flow across the paper like it was made in fluent, uh Let it ring, let it rip, everybody holler Like Marvin Gaye, but don't you let the record skip Synchronize the watch 'cause the party don't stop 'Til the neighborhood watch call the cops It's the wild-ass festival, coast line veteran Once again droppin' bombs on your section (On your section) [Chorus] Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And pass the brew to the loc when he roll through Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And shake your ass on the carpet like the old school Are you ready to throw down? Yes, we are Well, get on down like you're 'posed to And give a loc a little dap when he roll through (Fool)
