Are you ready? (Yeah!) For the Fearless? (Yeah!)
[The Microphone Wizard DLB:] The Microphone Wizard DLB!
[Group:] He’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, so turn on out!
[The Devastating Tito:] The Devastating Tito!
[Group:] He’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, so turn on out!

[Group:] He’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out, so turn on out!
[The Great Peso:] Hey, the Great Peso!
[Group:] He’s got to turn out, he’s got to turn out! He’s got to turn out!
[Sung Chorus:]
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
[Verse 1: Group]
So listen: Party people, well bust a move
We have a little theory that we’d like to prove
The question of the matter is can we rock a groove
Or if the music is bound to soothe your desire to dance
So get ready, yo, ‘cause here we come
Now check out where we’re comin' from
And if you say no then you’re kinda dumb
'Cause we’re bad and that’s about the sum of things
All those in the place that ask who are we
I’m the Microphone Wizard DLB
The Devastating Tito
And as they turn out, the Mighty Mike C
And let me state that I’m the Great Peso
And we’ve got to turn out
Open the door we’ll give more fourth time up at bat
We are The Fearless Four, got to turn out
[Sung Hook:]
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out! (Oh yes we have!)
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
[Background ad libs:]
(Ho ho!)
(Yeah, ha huh ha, ha huh ha ha, huh huh huh ha, ha ha ha)
(The el baby, [?] function! function!)
([?] The master, the master, the master OC)
([?] and Krazy E)
[Group:] The Microphone Wizard DLB!
[Verse 2: The Microphone Wizard DLB]
Ooh, rhymes are hot tonight
Thus every rapper’s dream to try and turn out
Ladies are smokin’ in the place
Just by looking I’m damp from steam so I will break out
(Where would you go?) To try and dry off
You’d do the same if you knew how I felt for bein'
Such a sweet lover, rapper and a man
Like sugar when wet I melt, ooh
He’s got to turn out!
[Group:] The Devastating Tito! Turn on out!
[Verse 3: The Devastating Tito]
Success is what I want, a hard time is what I get
People think I’m not set, at least not yet
But I’m willing to bet that I’ll be a threat
And if you’re with me, girl, you won’t regret
'Cause you’ll be receivin' a feelin' of believin'
And when I start rhymin' there’s no chance of you leavin'
You’ll be applaudin', screamin' and shoutin'
No longer on the mic will you keep doubtin' Tito
[Group:] He’s got to turn out! The Mighty Mike C’s gonna turn on out!
[Verse 4: The Mighty Mike C]
Well I amaze the party people [?] is it the light
I’m like a milky white pigeon on a helluva flight
Just pushing my way day after day
I’ll make you keep coming after hearing me play
But to make a emcee rock you’ve got to give him some trust
You come to the party, leave the rockin' to us
Keeping my faith and not any doubt
'Cause when Mike C’s here, there’s no need to pout
[Group:] He’s got to turn out! (The Great Peso) Turn on out!
[Verse 5: The Great Peso]
Doesn’t matter where I’m at I seem to always rock
With the energetic rhymin' of a future shock
Generatin' and creatin' clientele by the stock
To be your lover undercover on and off the clock
Now you’re askin' yourself who I may be
Don’t be dilly, I’m your silly, I’m the capital P
And the rhymes that I say it’s bound to give you a twirl
The commodore with somethin' more that possess the world
[Group:]
Open the door we’ll give more fourth time up at bat
We are The Fearless Four, got to turn out
[Verse 6: Group]
There’s not an instrument in our hand
But we’re so so [?] a two-man band
Consistin' of turntables and a mixer at hand
So direct your attention to the duo in command
A M-A-S! T-E! R-O-C!
Has an endless supply of capability
No matter what kinda fade it’s always made
And we need him like a deck of cards needs a spade
So in other words our group is in the shade
So to protect him we need more than just a barricade
Our DJ has a protégé to keep the turntables ready
Compared to him any DJ would seem kinda tame
Well no one can stop him, dancing can’t top him
So brace yourselves and get ready
'Cause look it’s Eddie ya’ll, we give you much much more
He’s Crazy Eddie ya’ll, 'cause we’re the Fearless Four
Emcees ya’ll! Down to please ya’ll!
And we’ll rock you down to your knees ya’ll!
[Spoken Chorus:]
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, turn on out! We’ve got to turn out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out! We’ve got to turn out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out! We’ve got to turn out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out! We always turn out!
[Sung Chorus:]
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
We got to turn out, we got to turn out, we got to turn out, so turn on out!
