[Intro]
Now I have a notion to do the Scratch Motion
Now I have a notion, let's do the Scratch Motion
Now I have a notion, let's do the Scratch Motion
We all have a notion, let's do the Scratch Motion, let's break Three!
[Verse 1: DC Ray]
Ahh, at the end of the year, I had a hunch
The Three would stand out of the MC bunch
Well, you want a translation to start the presentation
That we are going to do for you (DC ha ha)
Just let go of your emotions, let us take control
That's what we came here tonight to do, well
'Cause when the chips are down, we never have to sweat
'Cause two-thirds of the majority will pick the Threat, ha
There ain't nothing to it, I'm sure that we can do it
I'll ask them other options to be here to prove it
So, shh, the countdown's begun
And listen to the Captain who's threat number one
[Verse 2: Captain K]
Never fear, the Captain's here
Well Triple Threat, work it out, in the clear
And step forward, as you will truly see
The fury breakout of the Triple Threat Three
Yes, I'm pure-blooded male like quality beef
The stone-hearted lover with the pain relief
Yes, I'm one brother that can R-A-P
And I can do it with a lot of dignity
I got dollars and silver all the time
And fourteen carats in my rhymes
And when you come in a place and you see my face
Well, you better watch your lady, just in case
I get started to rapping on the microphone
And then the next thing I know, I'll be stereo
I say now I'm breaking hearts, you can truly tell
That I got more action than the NFL
So we [?], we [?], you got to show a [?]
You gotta have a [?]
Don't sound so sure, I say it once more
That I got the voice that the ladies adore
I said, shh, the countdown's not through
Now here's Mike C, who's threat number two
[Verse 3: Mike C]
I'm gonna shock the house like I never before
Passed right by the [?], shoot for the core
Because I got the rhyme, I've got the voice
[?] well he's the people's choice
So get up out your seat, and don't be a bore
'Cause Triple Threat's not finished, we got much more!
We're gonna slow the rhythm down, keep it in the clutch
'Cause we're cold as ice to the human touch
And if you think that's good, we can do better
Now get your address and send us a letter
Self-addressed envelope to the Triple Threat Three
And you can write "in care of DC"
Well if you ever think that you can turn us out
We'll take all your money, cash, Visa or clout
It don't make no difference what you're waiting for
'Cause if you're a Triple Threat, you can make the call
I say, shh, to add the final touch
Here's threat number three, and I thank you much
[Verse 4: DC Ray]
I may be last of the three, but I'm the best
So cop a squat and be prepared for the ultimate test
I'm like a toy with a 30-day guarantee
The master of disaster never cops a plea
But if you really wanna know just who I am
Why don't you savor the flavor while I'm doin' this jam
Well I'ma tell you from beginning how I hit the chart
Well my theory is the fury that I put in my start
I got three different styles to smash and defeat
Let me make it plain and simple about my technique
Technique number one, well it's to pass the test
To believe (and achieve) that we are the best
Well to possess that feeling that we can win
Just keep your eye on the [?] 'cause we'll be back again
And technique number two, we know you can't stop it
Our back to back rhyme, and there's no act to top it
And technique number three, oh let me tell you, my friends
And consistent until the very end
I said shh, ha-ha, ha
I said shh, you just keep moving on
[Verse 5: Captain K]
Work real hard from my time of arrival
I got more rhymes than the words in the Bible
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand or more
I'm talkin' 'bout my rhymes, so I better say four
I make ladies chill and other rappers fight
Whenever Captain K gets on the mic
That's how I rock this place and rock it like a wiz
Then I make the ladies say "Oh, how sweet it is"
I said you got the time, I got the rhyme
To make other rappers want to resign
From your very first moment to your very last day
You never hear a-rappers rap this way
'Cause we're the number one fellas with a rapper's degree
You hear the Triple Threat holler one-two-three
So just open the doors and step inside
We won't stop rappin' til you're satisfied
So let's rock this place, the night's just begun
'Cause I'm the Triple Threat known as number one
And that's why you keep struttin' when my voice gets cuttin'
Everybody listens up like I'm EF Hutton
'Cause I got a style of rockin' that will always rule
And I got the kind of voice to make you sound cool
I said shh, ha-ha, ha
I said shh, you just keep moving on
[Verse 6: Mike C]
And I'll rep any rapper that God gave birth
[?] to the test for the money it's worth
And then I pull a smooth rhyme off my shelf
[Just ?/And stuck] another rapper up until there is none left
And then I throw down, light or strong
But the ladies all love me, don't get me wrong
Now party people in the place, open up your golden book
Just turn to page one
A-sit back and relax and enjoy yourself
'Cause this lesson has just begun
Well, it's a lesson for the rappers that's in the house
That's just-a claiming to be the best
Well, we're the Triple Threat Three, we came here tonight
Just to put you to the test
Yes, I'm the brown sugar to the apple pie
My lovin' is sweet, and you can't deny
That I'm a heartbreaker, a party people shaker
If you don't treat your lady right, he's guaranteed to take her
Hardcore to the bone, rappin' on the microphone
In a class at the top and he's all alone
I'm at the top of the list, number one on the chart
Listen, party people, this is only a start
I said shh, ha-ha, ha
I said shh, you just keep moving on
[Verse 7: DC Ray]
Well, I'm threat number three, so have no fear
'Cause DC Ray is bringing up the rear
Just put the troubles aside, let's get down the facts
So sit down and unwind, it's time to relax
So lend me your attention so I won't forget to mention
That I'm changing the condition, gonna do my own rendition
[?] my own suspicion, got the number one position
In the army decommission 'cause [?] rap was [?]
Say yeah, well I know I'm bad
I say yeah, the Triple Threat Three
[Verse 8]
'Cause our DJs, no other can match
They're the kings of back-spinning, lady lovin', and scratch
You can see it in their eyes, and see it in their walk
They're the only DJs to make the turntable talk
While I'm shockin', always rockin'
Never lazy, 'cause I'm crazy
Realizin', I'm surprisin'
With a title on my [?]
Never bored, gettin' awards
So cool, not a fool
Always calm, not my mom
Never been to Vietnam
Made a glance, love to dance
It's the eighties, know my ladies
[Say, my fastback and my ?], it really varies
That I am smooth and I will never be bad
'Cause I am the best this act's ever had
Now how many T's are in Threat? huh!
