| I said a hip hop a hippie to the hippie to the hip hip hop, and you don't stop a rockin' to the bang bang boogie say up jumps the boogie to the rhythm of the boogity beat Now what you hear is not a test, I'm rappin' to the beat And me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet You see I am Wonder Mike and I like to say hello to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow But first I gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie Say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie Let's rock, you don't stop Rock the rythm that will make your body rock Well, so far you've heard my voice but I brought two friends along And next on the mic is my man Hank Come on, Hank, sing that song Check it out, I'm the C-A-S-an-the-O-V-A and the rest is F-L-Y You see I go by the code of the doctor of the mix and these reasons I'll tell ya why You see I'm six foot one and I'm tons of fun and I dress to a 'T' You see I got more clothes than Muhammad Ali and I dress so viciously I got bodyguards, I got two big cars that definitely ain't the whack I got a Lincoln Continental and a sunroof Cadillac So after school, I take a dip in the pool which really is on the wall I got a color TV so I can see The Knicks play basketball Hear me talkin' 'bout checkbooks, credit cards More money than a sucker could ever spend But I wouldn't give a sucker or a bum from the rucker Not a dime 'til I made it again Everybody go hotel, motel, whatcha gonna do today (say what) Ya say I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin' Drive off in a def O.J. Everybody go, hotel, motel, Holiday Inn Say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friend Master Gee, am I mellow? It's on you so what you gonna do?

a Scoobie-Doo And guess what America we love you cause ya rock and ya roll with so much soul you could rock till you're a hundred and one years old I don't mean to brag i don't mean to boast but we like hot butter on our breakfast toast rock it up baby bubbah baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie to the beat beat, its so unique come on everybody and dance to the beat I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie to the hip hip hop, a-you don't stop a-rock on, pretty bubba to the boogity bang, bang, the boogie to the boogity beat I said I cant wait 'til the end of the week when I'm rappin' to the rhythm of a groovy beat and attempt to raise your body heat Just blow your mind so that you can't speak And do a thing but a-rock and shuffle your feet And let it change up to a dance called the freak And when you finally do come in to your rhythmic beat rest a little while so ya don't get weak I know a man named hank He has more rhymes than a serious bank So come on Hank sing that song to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong Well, I'm imp, the dimp, the ladies pimp The women fight for my delight But I'm the grandmaster with the three MCs that shock the house for the young ladies And when you come inside, into the front you do the freak, spank, and do the bump and when the sucker MCs try to prove a point We're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint a-from sun to sun and from day to day I sit down and write a brand new rhyme because they say that miracles never cease I've created a devastating masterpiece I'm gonna rock the mic 'til you cant resist Everybody, I say it goes like this Well, I was comin' home late one dark afternoon A reporter stopped me for a interview She said she's heard stories and she's heard fables that I'm vicious on the mic and the turntables This young reporter I did adore So I rocked a vicious rhyme like I never did before she said damn fly guy I'm in love with you the Casanova legend must have been true I said by the way baby what's your name said I go by the name of Lois Lane and you could be my boyfriend you surely can just let me quit my boyfriend called Superman i said he's a fairy i do suppose flyin' through the air in pantyhose he may be very sexy or even cute but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit i said you need a man who's got finesse and his whole name across his chest he may be able to fly all through the night but can he rock a party 'til the early light he cant satisfy you with his little worm but I can bust you out with my super sperm I go do it, I go do it, I go do it, do it, do it an' I'm here an' I'm there I'm big bang Hank, I'm everywhere Just throw your hands up in the air and party hardy like you just don't care Let's do it don't stop y'all a tick a tock y'all you don't stop go hotel motel what you gonna do today(say what) I'm gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def OJ everybody go hotel motel holiday inn you say if your girl starts actin' up then you take her friend I say skip, dive, what can i say I cant fit em all inside my OJ so i just take half and bust them out I give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house It was twelve o'clock one Friday night I was rockin' to the beat and feelin' all right Everybody was dancin' on the floor Doin' all the things they never did before And then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean She came into the bar, she came into the scene As she traveled deeper inside the room All the fellas checked out her white Sasoons She came up to the table, looked into my eyes Then she turned around and shook her behind So I said to myself, it's time for me to release my vicious rhyme I call my masterpiece and now people in the house this is just for you A little rap to make you boogaloo now the group you hear is called phase two and let me tell you somethin' we're a hell of a crew Once a week we're on the street just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free For you to party you got to have the movies So we'll get right down and give you the groove For you to dance you gotta get hype So we'll get right down for you tonight Now the system's on and the girls are there You definitely have a rockin' affair But let me tell ya somethin' there's still one fact That to have a party you got to have a rap So when the party's over you're makin' it home and tryin' to sleep before the break of dawn and while ya sleepin' ya start to dream and thinkin' how ya danced on the disco scene My name appears in your mind Yeah, a name you know that was right on time It was phase two just a doin' a do Rockin' you down cause you know we could to the rhythm of the beat that makes you freak come alive girls get on your feet To the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat To the double beat beat that it makes you freak To the rhythm of the beat that says you go on on an' on into the break of dawn Now, I got a man comin' on right now He's guaranteed to throw down He goes by the name of Wonder Mike come on Wonder Mike do what you like Like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey Like a millionaire that has no money Like a rainy day that is not wet Like a gamblin' fiend that does not bet Like Dracula with out his fangs Like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang Like collard greens that don't taste good Like a tree that's not made out of wood Like goin' up and not comin' down is just like the beat without the sound no sound to the beat beat, you do the freak everybody just rock and dance to the beat have you ever went over a friends house to eat and the food just ain't no good I mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed and the chicken tastes like wood so you try to play it off like you think you can by sayin' that you're full and then your friend says momma he's just being polite he ain't finished uh uh that's bull so your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie and you say that you already ate and your friend says man there's plenty of food so you pile some more on your plate while the stinky foods steamin' your mind s tarts to dreamin' of the moment that it's time to leave and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin' into something that looks like cheese oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place I don't care what these people think I'm just sittin' here makin' myself nauseous with this ugly food that stinks so you bust out the door while its still closed still sick from the food you ate and then you run to the store for quick relief from a bottle of kaopectate and then you call your friend two weeks later to see how he has been and he says i understand about the food baby bubbah but we're still friends with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat I say Hank can ya rock Can you rock to the rhythm that just don't stop? Can you hip me to the shoobie doo? I said come on make the make the people move I go to the halls and then ring the bell because I am the man with the clientele And if you ask me why I rock so well a-big bang, I got clientele and from the time I was only six years old I never forgot what I was told It was the best advice that I ever had It came from my wise, dear old dad He said sit down punk I wanna talk to you and don't say a word until I'm through Now, there's a time to laugh a time to cry A time to live and a time to die A time to break and a time to chill To act civilized or act real ill But whatever you do in your lifetime You never let a MC steal your rhyme So from sixty six 'til this very day I'll always remember what he had to say So when the sucker MCs try to chump my style I let them know that I'm versatile I got style finesse and a little black book That's filled with rhymes and I know you wanna look But there's a thing that separates you from me and that's called originality because my rhymes are on from what you heard I didn't even bite and not a goddamn word and I say a little more later on tonight so the sucker MC's can bite all night a-tick a-tock y'all a-beat beat y'all a-let's rock y'all ya don't stop? You go hotel, motel whatcha gonna do today (say what) You say I'm gonna get a fly girl, gonna get some spankin' Drive off in a def OJ Everybody go hotel, motel, Holiday Inn You say if your girl starts actin' up, then you take her friends a-like that y'all, to the beat y'all Beat-beat y'all, you don't stop a-Master Gee am I mellow? It's on you so whatcha gonna do Well, like Johnny Carson on The Late Show a-like Frankie Croker in stereo Well, like The Barkay's singin' Holy Ghost The sounds to throw down they're played the most It's like my man Captain Sky whose name he earned with his super sperm we rock and we don't stop get off y'all I'm here to give you whatcha got to the beat that it makes you freak and come alive girl get on your feet a-like a Perry Mason without a case Like Farrah Fawcett without her face Like The Barkays on the mic Like gettin' right down for you tonight Like movin' your body so ya don't know how right to the rhythm and throw down Like comin' alive to the Master Gee The brother who rocks so viciously i said the age of one my life begun at the age of two i was doin' the do at the age of three it was you and me rockin' to the sounds of the master gee at the age of four i was on the floor givin' all the freaks what they bargained for at the age of five i didn't take no jive with the master gee its all the way live at the age of six i was a pickin' up sticks rappin' to the beat my stick was fixed at the age of seven i was rockin' in heaven don'tcha know i went off i got right on down to the beat you see gettin' right on down makin' all the girls just take of their clothes to the beat the beat to the double beat beat that makes you freak at the age of eight i was really great cause every night you see i had a date at the age of nine i was right on time cause every night i had a party rhyme goin' on n n on n on on n on the beat don't stop until the break of dawn a sayin' on n n on n on on n on... like a hot buttered de pop de pop de pop a saying on n n on n on on n on cause I'm a helluva man when I'm on the mike i am the definite feast delight cause I'm a helluva man when I'm on the mike i am the definite feast delight come to the master gee you see the brother who rocks so viciously | |
