Turn It Up

Lyrics

[Intro] There's nothing wrong with your radio, just turn it up Turn it up! Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough! [Verse 1] I'm potent Just like a powerful force driven by ancient spirits Feel it' hear it A metaphor for living Bass' amplified when fully applied All adversaries become terrified Because I takes mine and decode 'em Then erode 'em Feed 'em information' program 'em and explode 'em Blow 'em out of proportion, create distortion Read the label and proceed with caution 'Cause I'm on it and I want it To put you in a trance, make you dance Like you're in a coma 'cause you tried to go home a Moment too slow' but now you can't go What you're hearing has you steering Dancing, tearing and comparing Me to the others that do exploit This field in which I am so adroit 'Cause other rappers on the sideline use me as a guideline Take what I say, rewind and combine What I'm saying' with what they wanna say And I guarantee they're gonna say Something petty, 'cause they're not ready I am real and they're confetti My rhymes are legit, their rhymes are counterfeit Their rhymes are miscellaneous, mine's the opposite If you're standing up you're rocking if you're sitting on edge If I put up a flag, I know you'd pledge Allegiance to me, Kool Moe Dee New York City's number one MC You see I have a talent, I never lost I might chill for awhile but I could never fall off And even if I whisper I'm always louder Then any other rapper and they'll say "How the Hell does he do that?"Then say "Ooh that Rhyme is smokin', Moe Dee's not jokin'" Everybody scream 'cause the king has spoken [Chorus] Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough! [Verse 2] Ladies, and gentlemen Just like Yankee Doodle this rhyme's a dandy Sweet like sugar, tastes like candy My mic's like a wipe when it comes in handy Rocks the Appalachians on down to the Andes A chosen rhyme composer, like Mozart My rhymes are unique as Picasso's art What I write on the canvas always comes out on It won't take to wear it Yves Saint Laurent Would be proud of what I wrote Because what I designed is very genuine You wanna wear my rhyme Lots of life, lots of color, but not too loud When I see your reaction it makes me proud Just to be me, Kool Moe Dee The computed, undisputed, champion MC Too tough, lotta bluff, long rhymes are ferocious Always sound good because I always notice What to say on Saturday And have rockin' 'til Sunday And when you go to church and clap your hands and pray I'll have everybody rockin' 'til Monday And make you freak-freak through the rest of the week Friday is my day when I reach my peak Breakdown! [Chorus] Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough! [Verse 3] Once I enter, the party I'm the center Of attention not to mention that I really meant to Place with taste lots of bass in your face Put voices on tape you won't erase That's Uncle Rush here's the Cold Crush Other MCs hush when party people rush To the front just to see me, Kool Moe Dee Special K, Sunshine and we're the Treacherous Three We turn it out without a doubt while other MCs pout Add zest to the party like sauerkraut To the [?] let me tell you my rank I'm the captain of the ship, you walk the plank [Chorus] Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough! [Verse 4] Give me a mic, a stage and a rhythm A participating crowd and in return I'll give 'em A double dose of what's considered the most Outlandish style of rap and like a ghost I'm very feared but very hard to believe And other rappers are so scared 'cause they won't even Say my name in a negative way Because I laugh at a joke, but I don't play The weak ones I'll wax, the wack ones I attack 'Cause I'll shame 'em and tame 'em 'Til they learn how to act I'm like a rising star going straight to the top I'm like a roller coaster, without the drop In Russia I'd be a czar, in Iran I'd be a shah But in America, I'm known as Kool Moe Dee just a star The K double O L-M-O-E The coolest of the cool and they call me Moe Dee! [Chorus] Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) Say turn it up! (Turn it up!) We turned it up but it still ain't loud enough! [Outro] Yeah! Yeah! Treacherous Three MCs signing off
