Yasiin Bey, Tash, Q-Tip - Body Rock lyrics

Aight, ugh, alright, you gotta slow down
I'm tryin' to aight, yo, I oh, 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

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
Lemme take a sec to review what I wrote
(Mos Def, and it sound far fetched) OK
It's dope let's record this
('Cord this)
They gonna award this (Award this)
And all area crew is
Gonna applaud this clapping
And when we step to the plate, Pah
It's flawless
My man T-A-S-H, the style glory great
(Great, great great, great great)

And up next
We got CaTash with that West Coast rhymin'
Bombin' niggas with the style as
Dangerous as mountain climbin' (Ahhh)
'Cause the Alkie words I'm spittin'
Be twistin' while you listenin'
Plus I'm in this motherfucker
With the Likwit coalition (woo)
That'll leave you in position
Twisted backwards like yoga
While you starin' down my throat like
"Is he drunk or is he sober?"
(Who knows?) All I know is
Tash got flows (Woooo)
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'mma 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 Q!

What's up, Tash? A yo, Tip can't call it
Chill as Mos is Def, and you Alkaholik
(Right) i'mma be surfin' at
Thing that's worth dealin' (Uh, huh)
Hypodermically, shoot up your feelin' (Uh)
Figuratively speakin', of course, now (Right)
Old and greediness seekin' it's course, now
(Uh)
What we gonna do? (What?) Eradicate them
Shoot them from the jam
They be diseased phlegm

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 you got to like!
And ain't nobody steppin' up when
We got the mic
So turn the AC up 'cause it's hot tonight!
And 'til the bright early morn'
We be rockin you alllllllll
Don't stop, the Body Rock!

'Cause I'm next to flex
And I'm technically advanced to turn
You on like cybersex so in less
(Uh) than two sec's (Uh)
I blind MC's like Thomas Dolby
With the Science that'll leave
They braincells fryin' slowly
(SCIENCE) So slowly I flow with
This express written consent
From the undergroundin' niggas
Coast I I 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 screenin' 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

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 off
Son, there's 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 somethin'
And while we do it, you bounce to it
The cops wanna stop the Body Rock
(But don't do it)

DY-NO-MITE! Like Jimmy JJ
Slobbed down pen-ny, somewhere in LA (A)
Now we got to bond like Voltron (Tron)
Tash you the bomb, Mos you the wonton (Ton)
Re-peatedly, I must drop on thee (Thee)
A-B-S, I bust down, facility (Ty)
T-R-A-C T is the MC (C)
It's the LL, inside the place to be (Be)

Q Tip are you ready to rock the mic?
Tash Love are you ready to rock the mic?
Mos Def are you ready to rock the mic?
We got the universal brothers
You got to like!
Now, ain't nobody steppin' up when
We got the mic
So turn your AC up 'cause it's hot tonight!
And 'til the bright early morn'
We'll be rockin' you alllllllll
(Don't stop, the Body Rock)

All my people out in Queens
You 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, say
(Don't stop, the Body Rock)
All the people on the Greens
And the land in between, say
(Don't stop, the Body Rock)

No stoppin' no stoppin'
Out in Jersey no stoppin'
Philadelp-i-I no stoppin'
Chi Town gettin' down the playgrounds
Detroit USA no stoppin' in Cali no stoppin'
And the great V-A no stoppin'
I says, huh huh huh huh uh huh huh
I said, the Brooklyn sound no stoppin'
And the Boogie Down no stoppin'
L-I and Queens no stoppin'
And you see Medina Greens no stoppin'
You know we, Lyricist Lounge no stoppin'
And my man Abstract no stoppin'
Except we never do wack no stoppin'
Uh huh, you don't stop, the Body Rock
D dah, don't stop
