(feat. Q-Tip, Tash)



[Mos Def]

Aight, uhh, alright y'all slow down I'm tryin ta

Aight, yo I I only took a little bit of Spanish you gotta

Aight I hear what you're sayin but yo, aight okay

Alright okay, alright okay okay

Alright okay, I'm feelin you, okay

Alright okay, alright okay okay

Alright okay, I'm feelin you yo

All my people in Brooklyn and you know we're hot, I say

We don't stop, the Body Rock

All my people in Queens and the land in between say we

Don't stop, the Body Rock

Shaolin and L-I say you know we're fly, say we

Don't stop, the Body Rock

From the East to the West son we take it to the chest say we

Don't stop, the Body Rock



Check me out y'all

I'm in the lab with Ab, I got the pen and pad

My man T-A-S-H take it to yo' breastplate

It's the Mighty Mos Def, complete the trilogy

Just shot myself a dime, see are you feelin me?

Son I'm wicked and nice when I'm on facility

Let me take a sec to review what I wrote.. [paper rustling]

.. "Mos Def and I sound par fresh" OK it's dope

let's record this ('cord this) they gonna want dis (want dis)

And all area crew is gon' applaud dis [clapping]

And when we step to the plate Pah it's flawless

My man T-A-S-H with styles glory great

Great, great great, great great uh uhh uh uhh uh uhh uh



[Tash]

Up next we got CaTash with that West coast rhymin

Bombin niggaz with the style as dangerous as mountain climbin (ahhhh!)

Cause the Alkie words I'm spittin be twistin while you listenin

Plus I'm in this motherfucker with the Likwit coalition

that'll leave you in position, twisted backwards like dough go

While you starin down my throat like, "Is he drunk or is he sober?"

WHO KNOWS, all I know is Tash got flows

and got the technique to get the ladies out of they clothes

I been overly exposed to the forty-oh's and chickens

So I'ma keep it pumpin til the beat stop kickin

or til the plot thickens, cause this is how we do

CaTashTrophe, Mos Def, and the brother man QUE!!!!



[Q-Tip]

What's up Tash, hey yo, Tip can't call it

Sure as Mos is Def and you Alkaholik

I'ma be surfin at, thing that's worth dealin

Hypodermically, shoot up your feelin

Figuratively, speakin of course now

old and greedyness, seekin it's course now

what we gonna do, eradicate them

Shoot them from the jam, they be diseased phlegm



[Mos Def]

Tash Love... are you ready to rock the mic?

Q-Tip... are you ready to rock the mic!

Mos Def... are you ready to rock the mic?

We got the universal style that you got to like!

And ain't nobody steppin up when we got the mic

So turn the A.C. up cause it's hot tonight!

And til the bright early morn' we be rockin you all

Don't stop, the Body Rock!



[Tash]

Cause I'm next to flex, and I'm technically advanced

to turn you on like cybersex, so in less than two sec's

I blind MC's like Thomas Dolby with the Science that'll leave

they braincells fryin slowly (FIRE!) so slowly I flow and

express written consent, from the undergroundin niggaz

Coast II Coast I represent cause gettin bent, I do

but I'm doper than sherm plus the way I put it down

could burn the perm off Big Worm, so peep this private screening

of the Last Action Hero that be freezin rappers dead in they tracks

like Sub Zero (Zero), cause Rico ain't no joke

I eat yo' flows and yo' beat up rappers even feel my presence

when I'm home with my feet up



[Mos Def]

Yo what you skied up or treed up?

Relax and pull a seat up, make your landlord turn the heat up

Got the opposition shook like Tiger Woods about to tee up

So niggaz no competition with the clear Mos Definition

MC's screamin now for years can't rhyme without they mom's permission

You just a young'un comin out, gettin gassed to run your mouth

Wildin on the Runabout, Baby Pah you comin out

Barkin that you want a bout but son you know the comeabout

when Mos Def blow up and, you don't, nuttin

Don't you know nuttin?  My crew go huntin

We keep it on the norm then we transform som'in

And while, we do it, you bounce to it

The cops wanna stop the Body Rock but don't do it



[Q-Tip]

DY-NO-MITE!!!  Like Jimmy J.J.

Swap down pen-ny, somewhere in L.A. (A)

Now we got to bond like Voltron (tron)

Tash you the bomb, Mos you the won ton (ton)

Q will pick the lead, I must drop on thee (thee)

A-B-S, I bust down, facility (ty)

T-R-A-C-T is the MC (cee)

It's the LL, inside the place to be (be)



[Mos Def]

Tash Love... are you ready to rock the mic?

Q-Tip... are you ready to rock the mic!

Mos Def... are you ready to rock the mic?

We got the universal brothers that you got to like!

Now ain't nobody steppin up when we got the mic

So turn your A.C. up cause it's hot tonight!

And til the bright early morn' we'll be rockin you all

Don't stop, the Body Rock!



All my people out in Queens that know you're hot, you say

Don't stop, the Body Rock!

All my people out in Brooklyn and you know we're hot, say

Don't stop, the Body Rock!

Shaolin to L-I and you know we're fly, said

All the people on the Greens and the land in between said

Don't stop, the Body Rock!
