Lyrics

[Intro - Alter Ego, k-os, k-os+Jauhara] Yo check it Here we go Greetings to you all Come on, here we go Come on come on, here we go We came millions of miles to be here with you tonight Come on, here we go, come on 's right here, here we go And we gon' bring a man up to the microphone right now Come on In less than 10 seconds, Neutroniks... will begin Here we go, come on That goes by thе name of uh- Here wе go, come on Well he doesn't know Yo here we go check it out, come on Yo [Verse 1] Shapeshifting, uplifting Lyrical being here to terminate the bling-bling Six million ways to live - choose none The devil's both left and right confusion A new sun, a new earth has begun Metabolical rates are changing rearranging This rhyme is entertaining and visually stimulating like an impressionist painting Oooh Yo come follow me What's the definition of a real MC? Is it looking hard on MTV? Or freestyling in a backstreet Ali? Muhammad It's the return of the common I'm bombing these rappers and droppin' a hip-hop Megatron From King Street to Eglinton we don't run 'Cause when you've got a mic there's no need for a gun! [Hook A] And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning [Hook B] Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call (Yo) Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Scene [Verse 2] If you think about a thought then you'll see that you're timeless House the rhymeless they're asleep like liners I find this - very stimulating to the mind But drives me crazy at the same time Am I this - or that? Human or black? Extra-terrestrial or right side of the tracks In fact, the truth itself conclusive here's a little story from a time that's elusive I knew a girl by the name of Roxanne Met her in '86 at the local bandstand (What's up?) Blue track suit, fat laces, white sneakers Movin' to the sound coming out of the speaker Last week around Queen, and John I saw her at the corner with a business suit on I said "What's up girl, you still check the vibe Remember De La Soul, Diamond D, and The Tribe?" She said "No, no I just don't listen That stuff on the radio's not the transmission Same beat, same lyrics same song! I listen to my old school tapes to get it on" I said "Word up girl, I know what you mean It seems we're all trapped in the glitz and the gleam The truth's just hidden for now so don't sweat it So here's a cassette" and then I jetted [Hook A Extended] And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning And it don't stop and it don't quit It's so fortified so jump on it And to my people if you love your life forget the strife we rock from night until morning [Hook B] Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call (Yo) Get your back up off the wall Can't afford to miss the boat when they call Scene [Outro - k-os, Jauhara] High-high High High-high High-high-high High-high High High-high High-high-high Come inside, there's no use hiding Come inside, the sun is high Come inside, there's no use hiding Come inside, the sun is high
