Step Up lyrics

Artist  : Hybrid Theory 
Song : Step Up



 Send "Step Up" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

Yo, watch as the moon rocks
Mentally
moonwalking
Mixed media slang
Bangin in
your boom box
Verbal violence
Lyrical
stylist
In a time when rock, hip-hop rhymes
were 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
Your 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
Rapping over rock doesn't
make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip-hop have
collaborated for years
But now their getting
randomly mixed and matched up
All after a fast
buck
And all the tracks suck
So how does it
stack up?
None of its real
You wanna be an
emcee?
You've got to study the
skill

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

So you pick up
the pen and write yourself a new identity
But
mentally you don't have the hip-hop
energy
With a tendancy to make up
stories
Sounding like the only hip-hop you've
heard is top fourty
And your record company
completely misses it
And all the kids are
dissing it for not being legitamate
So in a
battle you can't hack it
React with wack
shit
And get smacked with verbal
backflips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous
battle catalyists
It's taken decades for
emcees to establish this
You're new to hip-hop
and welcome if you're serious
But not on the
mic leave that to the experienced

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
