[Intro]
To the beat!
(To the beat y'all
To the beat y'all
To the- To the- a-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- To the- To the- To the- To the beat y'all
To the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
To the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all)
And yes y'all
This one goes out to all the homeboys
From the old school
Takin' you way, way back
When we used to rhyme like this, check it out
[Verse 1]
Ain't nothin but a party, everybody come along
Keep your body movin' while I'm groovin' with the song
I got funky rhythms, funky rhythms with the beat
Funk-funk-funk-funky rhythms for the street
Keep clappin' while I'm rappin', while I'm rappin', clap your hands
Listen to the- listen to the- listen to the man
Turn the party out without a doubt I'm in the house
Kick it to the beat is what it's really all about
Party, party people, if you're ready, listen up
Cause I can get the lyrics, Easy Lee can get the cut
An automatic systematic rhythmatic sound
If you ain't with the program, you gotta get it down
Breakin' competition, competition's ripped apart
Find another brother, cause L.L. ain't got the heart
I can take a rhythm, make you sing it like a song
This is To The Beat, you can forget Da Break Of Dawn
[Chorus]
(To the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all)
Check it out
[Verse 2]
If I'm mentally conditioned, then I'm physically prepared
To cold rock a party with the microphone I bear
I'm ready for action, satisfaction guaranteed
Give the people what they want, and what they want is what they need
Desperately to hear a brother kick a rhyme like this
Don't settle for another, cause you know what time it is
Time to pick your feet up, put your body in the mode
And listen to a real rap veteran explode
Other sucker brothers always comin' incomplete
Forget about the lyrics, cause they only want the beat
And other punk brothers put a curse in every verse
Frontin' cause nobody taught 'em how to rhyme first
Frontin' like you're hard, but it's only a facade
And now you're goin' out like a sucker like Todd
But I can take a rhythm, make you sing it like a song
This is To The Beat, you can forget Da Break Of Dawn
[Chorus]
(To the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the beat y'all
A-to the- A-to the- A-to the beat y'all)
Check it out
[Verse 3]
Excercisin' patterns, sowin' up the rappin' scene
Rockin' for the people like a funky rap machine
Synchronize a party 'cause the party people watch
Only dancin' when I tell 'em 'cause I rock round the clock
Masters of the ceremony's one and only one
Can rock it like a rocket, phoney homies better run
Cause I'm doin the damage and the damage will be done
Lyrics are the bullets, so I never need a gun
Just a microphone, speakers, tables and a plug
Sit back and watch the people cut themselves and slice a rug
And I'mma rock a party till it's time to bring it home
And when they pull a plug, then I'mma pack a microphone
Put it in my holster like a gun, and then I'm gone
Strapped, ready to rap and on and on and on
I can take a rhythm, make you sing it like a song
This is To The Beat, you can forget Da Break Of Dawn
[Outro]

To the beat)
And yes y'all
As we proceed to move on
'To Da Break Of Dawn'
He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He-He
Takin' you all the way back
The way we used to do it
For you and yours in the old school
