Lords Of The Underground - Tic Toc lyrics

Your rating:

throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
 Tic toc  this is how we rock
 throw your hands in the air and please don't stop (um)
 Tic toc  this is how we rock
 (Tic toc  you don't stop...)

 DOITALL:
 Tic toc  this is how we rock
 we're those same (um) brothers that brought you "Chief Rock"
 Now  um  underground's my style
 to this I have vows
 and I swear to my god
 I'll always rock a crowd
 So (um) peace to my area, N.W.K.
 which is scarier
 so if your on the deals,
 who cares, the more the merrier
 Now right off South Orange
 on the block of one-nine
 of course, thirteenth ave
 is my stomping grounds
 I open up my chest
 and to my 'hood give my heart
 'cause without the heart
 then your 'hood falls apart
 So respect to the cement
 the park called "the Corner"
 'cause that's where the DOITALL TWO was performing
 Runnin' from the cops
 I couldn't be stopped
 'cause i was jumpin' big gates that connected the blocks
 Now before making records
 the 'hood was my savior
 but now I'm making tunes to make you jam wit 'cha neighbor...

 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and please don't stop (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and represent your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 (Tic toc, you don't stop...)

 MR. FUNKYMAN
 Well, I be the funk-ular
 ultra-funk-ular
 gamma-funk-ular
 Half you rappers out there couldn't see me with binoculars
 Anyone who thinks he'll take me out is just a dreamer
 If you think you're the bomb, then I'm Hiroshima
 When I die,
 I hope they're making records up in heaven
 On a scale of one to ten,
 I'm like 100-5th-11
 and sticks-and-stones-may-break-my-bones
 but if you ever try to dis the Lords, then it's on
 I go on beat...
 off beat...
 then jump right back on time
 I drop another rhyme
 and talk about your fat ugly mama (EEWWW!!)
 M.C.'s cannot rock me
 I'm stone-proof
 Me grabbin' the mic
 is like Superman running to a phone booth
 Straight from Martin Luther King Boulevard
 In the heart of Newark, New Jersey,
 make you say "Lord have mercy"
 If you step up in my face
 then it's do or die
 and I'M GONNA MAKE YOU CRY! (waaahhhhh!!)

 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and please don't stop (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and represent your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 (Tic toc, you don't stop...)

 DOITALL:
 Well, times have changed
 not only for the urban
 but also for suburban
 We get props, we're deservin'
 From black kids, to white kids
 I see them bob their heads,
 from the blond hair, to redhead
 I even seen a dread
 So now it doesn't matter
 as the clock winds down
 with the tic and the toc
 because they love the sound
 But people 'round your area
 say you sell out
 because you sell a million copies
 and your tour goes BAAAAOOWW!
 So do it for yourself,
 and do it for the 'hood,
 but do it from the heart,
 'cause that's when it's good
 Now tell me what's gonna happen
 after the rappin'
 when the clock ticks away
 and ain't nothin' happenin'...

 MR. FUNKYMAN
 ..I remember way back in the days on my block
 when the kids used to meet up in the hallway and rock
 on Martin Luther King's boulevard
 with P.C., WISE, EASY ED, and my brother HARD BERNARD
 used to hit the ill rhymes from the head
 while I'd hit the beat on the wall until my hands turned red
 You had the SHORTY TWO M.C.'S,
 THE EDUCATED THREE,
 I have to give them props for helping me be me
 Now I'm the one who's educated
 I suffered but I made it
 I only write rhymes that will be appreciated
 No matter how large I get
 the fire still burns
 'Cause from the 'hood I came
 and to the 'hood I must return...

 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and do it for your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and please don't stop (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 Throw your hands in the air and represent your block (um)
 Tic toc, this is how we rock
 (Tic toc, you don't stop
