Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
[Mixed media] slang
[Banging in] your boom box [verbal violence]
[Lyrical stylist]
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
[You're killing me]
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes
You're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
All after a [fast buck] and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it's real
You want to be an emcee you've got to study the skill
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a [new identity]
But mentally you don't have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you've heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you [can't hack it]
React with whack sh*t
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your arse kicked by fabulous battle [catalysts]
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You're new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced
(Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack)
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you everytime like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, Step Up, Step, Step Up
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you everytime like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, Step Up, Step, Step Up
(After years of pain staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio weapons system.

Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you everytime like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
