Make It Live

Lyrics

[Verse 1] N-E-W-C-L-E-U-S 'Cause when it comes to jammin' live, we are the best We're the number one crew I must confess We're the super fresh group called Newcleus When you come to see the show, don't be surprised We got ladies on the keyboards kickin' it live Our drummer, Dr. Rhythm, keeps a steady beat While our breakers shock the house when they move their feet If my voice is unfamiliar, I'm Chilly B And thumping on the bass is my specialty On sound effects and the monster keys It's no other than my main man Cozmo D I don't mean to brag, I hope you'll understand But we're the freshest MCs in all the land From Bach to rock, we're a band complete Yet we still know how to jam to the funky beat, hit it! [Chorus] Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! [Verse 2] So now that Chilly B's kicked off the beat It's time for me to make this rap complete So sucker MCs make sure you listen 'Cause I wanna tell you just what you're missin' You're hippin' and you're hoppin' on the microphone But you're rappin' to music that ain't your own Sure you got a beat that's funky fresh But when you're rockin' a show, it don't pass the test When your record starts skippin' or the tape don't work And you're standin' on the stage lookin' like a jerk So you get on the mic and do what you can But it never woulda happened if you had a band You sucker MCs think you're all the rage Well it don't mean nothing when you hit the stage You may get by with that hip hop jive But you ain't really rockin' 'til you make it live Oooh! Aww yeah We done related Now it's about time we demonstrated Yo Chilly, funk it up one time, huh? Yo Cozmo, whatcha got for me? [Chorus] Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! Make it live Make it live! Make it live
