Heartbeat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once again, my friends, it's time to rock it 'til the party ends Rhymin' with timin' as Evil E lets the record spin Kickin' it, hittin', rockin', just so dope it's shockin' 'Cause I be layin' rhymes super fly, 'cause this is do or die Make it or break it, although most emcees do fake it I'll say the Ice can't take it, time to microphone bake it Raise the heatin' level, break out your coal shovel Pump the temp, I'm sweatin' like a devil Listen to my heartbeat, it's beatin' like a wild man But that's natural 'cause you know that I am No punk, no chump, no fool, no toy Try to get ill and I'll serve you, boy I'm on a hype tip, this ain't no ego trip Just rollin' thick as hell, champagne I sip as well Listen and you'll envision, this rap's metabolism I think the beat is dope, but it's still your decision Whether to turn it on, turn it off Turn it up, make it loud, make it soft EQ me to new frequencies or Just rewind me 'til the tape bleeds My heartbeat's kickin' like a Saturday movie Some say it's def, some say it's groovy I say it's fly, you know why? 'Cause it's spoken by the brother whose name is spelt with the "I" The C-E-T, cold chillin' rhyme villain on the M-I-C With raps roarin', I'm never borin', I keep tourin' My record sales keep soarin' and soarin' I'll make a million, maybe two Buy some rides gold, blow the dough on my crew I wake up the next morning broke as hell But not for long 'cause my records sell My heartbeat's kickin' like a gunshot Why not? That's who I made it for, the hard rocks Better watch your gold when the posse breaks 'Cause what they want is what they take But I'm coolin', I'm never foolin', too busy rulin' Sucker emcees who need microphone schoolin' Leave 'em dazed, dogged, served and droolin' By the playin' punk slayin' mac of microphone duelin' [Interlude: Sample] I wanna make it real funky for you Make a little beat, nothin' simple Nothin' fancy, wanna make it simple And funky for you, listen to my beat It's a beatin' heart Listen to my heartbeat It's beatin' real funky Listen to my heartbeat It's beatin' real funky Bring in the bass and play it funky Bring in the bass and play it funky Play it funky for me, B.B Play it funky, funky, funky Play it funky, B.B., play it funky, funky, funky Bring it on down Heartbeat, heartbeat Heartbeat, bring it on down Heartbeat Heartbeat, bring it on down Heartbeat [Verse 2] This conglomeration is just a demonstration Of rap's penetration to the core of our nation Some rappers get down with toy commercial sounds I had my choice, I chose the underground Like me or hate me, now if you want you can rate me My beats are by Islam, the cuts by the great E My heartbeat is kickin', it's kickin' louder and louder It's gettin' deffer and deffer, I'm feelin' prouder and prouder Not robbin', killin', just mic illin' The phone rings, "We made another million" Break out the Dom and pop the corks I catch a flight to New York Hit the L.Q., watch Red spin, "It's closed" Brooklyn strikes again [Interlude: Sample] I wanna make it real funky for you Make a little beat, nothin' simple Nothin' fancy, wanna make it simple And funky for you, listen to my beat It's a beatin' heart Listen to my heartbeat It's beatin' real funky Listen to my heartbeat It's beatin' real funky Bring in the bass and play it funky Bring in the bass [Verse 3] Once again, my friends, it's time to rock it 'til the party ends Rhymin' with timin' as Evil E lets the record spin Kickin' it, hittin', rockin', just so dope it's shockin' 'Cause I be layin' rhymes super fly, 'cause this is do or die Make it or break it, although most emcees do fake it I'll say the Ice can't take it, time to microphone bake it Raise the heatin' level, break out your coal shovel Pump the temp, I'm sweatin' like a devil Listen to my heartbeat, it's beatin' like a wild man But that's natural 'cause you know that I am No punk, no chump, no fool, no toy Try to get ill and serve you, boy
