Pop Goes the Weasel (Radio Edit)

[Intro]
Let's all sing "Pop Goes the Weasel"

[Verse 1: Pete Nice & MC Serch]
Pop goes the, pop goes the windin' of the weasel
I see the empty pocket needs a refill
I got a squad with a list of complainers
I should have started RAPE, Rappers Against Phony Entertainers
So we can make it known that we won't get swayed
It's ninety-one son, so somethin's gotta change
Gettin' paid to peddle sneakers and soda pop (Pop-pop-pop)
Pop goes the weasel as drawers drop (Drop-drop-drop)
Why not take your top ten pop hit
Fix the music and make senseless rhymes fit?
I guess it's the fact that you can't be artistic
Intricate raps, becomin' so simplistic
I gotta strong mind, it doesn't have to be spoon-fed
And I can read what doesn't have to be read
So some stay illiterate and feeble
Legally licked, you go the ways of the weasel (The weasel)

[Chorus: 3rd Bass]
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel 'cause the weasel goes pop
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel 'cause the weasel goes pop

[Verse 2: MC Serch & Pete Nice]
Hip-hop got turned into hit-pop
The second a record was number one on the pop charts
But don't skip on the heart, it got a start in the ghetto
Let no one forget about the hard part
Now in ninety-one we got a new brand, a new band
Lookin' like the same old Klan
Same old thieves that skeez, so we gotta make sure
That real rap has got to endure
Why score all my points in one period?
Appearin' in complex structure like a pyramid
The paper for the media presence
Ya learn lessons from the face of false legend
Stop vexin' on the skills, ya ain't originate
The thin ice you skate upon will break and set ya straight
Ate up on the plate, now who's diesel?
Not the weasel, not the weasel, pop goes the weasel

[Chorus: 3rd Bass]
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel 'cause the weasel goes pop
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel 'cause the weasel goes pop

[Verse 3: MC Serch & Pete Nice]
Ya stole somebody's record then ya looped it, ya looped it
Ya boosted the record then ya looped it, ya looped it
Ayo, I came from Cali, and they hooped it, they hooped it
But now you're gettin' sued, kinda stupid
Boosted tracks get slaps, ya got no haps
To reach all four corners of the map
For the kids in Kansas to those who speak Spanish
Doin' crazy damage so the wack gets banished
Can't manage the truth until you buy a way
Ya ain't quick, so ya switch off the exit from a highway
To rest, but a crook has to take a second look
Ever heard of a chef who can't cook?
But the Minister Prime can lay laws
Ayo, Pete Nice, rip the mic and go for yours
Goes for mine, I goes for mine
Find the Prime won't eat the green eggs and swine
On line like the Serch in the hoodie with the woody
Get a disc or tape at Sam Goody
Why'd ya run through the doors some left open?
Ropin' off the scenes of the crime smokin'
I got pub and I'ma nut like a Scud, see
Blowin' up like I'm throwin' up a beef patty
Sellouts run about like the measles
No cures 'cause pop goes the weasel

[Chorus: 3rd Bass]
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel goes pop
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel goes pop

[Outro]
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel goes pop
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel
Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel goes pop
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel (Pop, pop)
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel (Pop, pop, pop)
Pop-pop goes the weasel, the weasel (Pop, pop, pop-da)
Pop goes the weasel, 'cause the weasel goes pop
