I Luv Rap Music

Lyrics

[Intro] Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, I really do appreciate it. You know, some people out there are giving rap a bad name. But as the young people say, I ain't down wid dat. But anyway, this is a song that I think expresses all of our feelings, everyone here in the room. I love rap music. [Verse 1] Rap music, the sound of the times You sorta talk lyrics to rhythm and rhyme And then deliver in various ways You know, some sorta preach and some sorta play Nevertheless, there's some common ground You need the def hip-hop sound The hyped up bass and a tiny snare The sub-whopper makes your neighbor stare [Chorus] But hey, I love rap music I always have and I always will [Verse 2] Now rap started as the voice of the streets A sorta politics to a ghetto beat Then rappers started bragging all about their gold And the girlies and the beepers and the big, black oldsmobile In '83, the beatbox hit Making funky drum sounds popping out of your lips But taking on new forms, rap has moved from the block Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock I don't care how you do it! [Chorus] 'Cause I love rap music I always have and I always will There's no other kind of music in the world That can make me feel quite as chill Oooh! I love black music You know, it's sitting on top of my list So if you wanna hang with me, you better believe You'll be jamming to a hip-hop mix [Verse 3] Concert time in my part of the town You know, I brought my mom 'cause she was--well, she was feeling down She was flat grooving but couldn't understand How they making music when there ain't no band And, then she said "James!" Everybody stared She heard a James Brown sample, ow!, and thought he was there She got home shook her head and said, "Kids these years!" But then again, we think the Beatles are weird Those loony mop tops [Chorus] Hey, I love rap music I always have and I always will There's no other kind of music in the world That can make me feel quite as chill I love rap music You know, it's sitting on top of my list So if you wanna hang with me, well, you better believe We'll be jamming to a hip-hop mix Is it just me, or are we all getting crazy here? I love rap music Ooh, that feels good Mr. Mike Roe on the guitar [Verse 1] Today, some rappers boast, some are making me ill, blah And those obscene lyrics, you got a degree of overkill But, I started emceeing way back in the day And since then, there's been a serious change You know, I asked the Lord to come-a into my heart And He gave me a brand new start On top of that, that, he gave me my dream Doing hip-hop music with a Christian theme [Chorus] You know, I love rap music I always have and I always will There's no other kind of music in the world That can make me feel quite as chill Is it cold in here? Somebody turn down the air-conditioner Wait a minute, I think we're starting to warm up a little bit As a matter of fact, it's getting real hot I love, I love, I love rap music Yeah I love rap music I love rap music Hey! Hey ha! Hey ha! Hey ha! Yeah! Hey! Hey! Good night, everybody. I'm outta here. Thanks for coming out. Ha! Right on (Oh yeah! Word! That was fresh!)
