Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Get funky in the place
[Verse 2]
Rock on
Rock on
Get funky in the place
[Verse 3]
One, two, get down
[Verse 4]
Get funky in the place
[Verse 5]
Standin' by the speaker, suddenly I had this
Fever was it me or either summer madness
'Cause I just can't stand around
So, I get closer and the closer I get, the better it sound
My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate
'Cause when I heard the beat, I just had to make
Somethin' from the top of my head
So, I fell into the groove of the wax and I said
"How could I move the crowd?"
First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed
Here's the instruction, put it together
It's simple ain't it, but quite clever
Some of you been tryin' to write rhymes for years
But weak ideas, irritatin' my ears
Is this the best that you can make?
'Cause if not and you got more, I'll wait
But don't make me wait too long
'Cause I'ma move on, the dance floor
When they put somethin' smooth on
So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud
'Cause I like to move the crowd
[Verse 6]
Get funky with the bass
[Verse 7]
Be a prostitute
If you're off your trolley, send us a cable
[Verse 8]
Let me fly
[Verse 9]
Hip hop, hip hop, hip hop, hip hop
[Verse 10]
Imagine me with the heat that's made by solar
It gets stronger every time I hold-a
Microphone, check the tone to get started
The line for the microphone is departed
So leave it up to me, my DJ is mixin'
Everyone is movin' or eager to listen
Your hands in the air, your mouth is shut
'Cause I'm on the mic and Eric B is on the cut
For those that know me, indeed I like to flow
Especially when the music's goin' slow
It gives me a chance to let everybody know
It's time to bust out the Rakim show
I'm the intelligent wise on the mic I will rise
Right in front of your eyes, 'cause I am a surprise
So I'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection
All praises due to Allah and that's a blessin'
With knowledge of self, there's nothin' I can't solve
At three hundred and sixty degrees, I revolve
This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven
Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep movin'
[Verse 11]
Move the crowd
Move the crowd
Move the crowd
[Verse 12]
One, two, three, and
[Verse 13]
One, two, three, four, hit it
[Verse 14]
It don't take no mess
It don't take no mess
[Verse 15]
Yo, Leroy
Yo, Leroy
[Verse 16]
Move the crowd
