There's a new style of music that's going around
And it's hitting the people from town to town
Some call it emceeing some call it rap
If you're rocking to the music you know where it's at
A deejay plays a record that will make you move
While the rapper then helps you get in the groove
They relate to you a message that's on their mind
That makes your body move from left to right
So we're the Crash Crew and we are unique
When you listen to our music you know it's a treat
So come on everybody get up out of your seat
And rock with us until the end of the week
So come inside, you don't need a reservation
Party your best without hesitation
Old and young, come and get some
Because the Crash Crew, yeah, is number one, huh!
Come on, all the ladies in the house
Let me hear you say "Ow" (Ow!)
Say "Ow" (Ow!), home boys make some noise
Say "Ho" (Ho!), say "Ho" (Ho!)
We're the 5 emcees with utmost finesse
Got girls in the east and girls in the west
Got girls in the north and girls in the south
Check out the way we call 'em all out
We'll I'm MC Reggie Reg, some call me rap one
Because I get on the mic and be second to none
Well I'm Barry B-Stro, I'm rapper number two
And I came here tonight just to talk to you
Well I'm MC ShuBee, rapper number three
And all the young ladies in love with me
And I'm EK Mike C, rapper number four
Got all the fly girls knocking at my door
And I'm the mellow G-Man, rapper number five
Yes in any battle I do survive
So we're the Crash Crew so solid and smooth
All the young ladies want to catch our groove
Catch, catch it, yeah
Catch it if you can
Say, "Do what you like"
(Do what you like!)
Say, "Do anything"
(Do anything!)
Go crazy
Look up front and you pay close attention
All you party people and all you competition
Listen and let the story be told
About the Crew that's ready to go for the gold
DJ Darryl C is of a special breed
He's got the antidote the party people need
We're the force of the 5 and we want to be known
As the baritones of the microphone
We got rhymes alike we got rhymes galore
We've got so many rhymes and a couple awards
From top to bottom and bottom to top
That it just don't quit and it just don't stop
Come on everybody, let's rock the spot
[Reggie Reg]
Well I'm MC Reggie Reg
Sinister of sound
My voice makes you feel in Sensurround
We're taking off
On a disco flight and
If you want to come, hold on tight
Because we'll be traveling with utmost force
Making sure that we plan a straight course, 'cause
We're the Crash Crew your A-1 boss
[Barry B-Stro]
I'm the B dash S the T-R-O
When you put it all together it spells B-Stro
Life is filled with highs
Life is filled with lows
It's the same old story
You know how it goes
One day you're happy, one day you're sad
One day you're tired, one day you're mad
Life does what you want it to do
Try to be happier, like the Crash Crew
Say, "Do what you like"
(Do what you like!)
Say, "Do anything"
(Do anything!)
Go crazy
[La ShuBee]
Keep on striving towards your goals
ShuBee got his, don't let yours go
Don't let nobody fool you around
Trying to turn your life upside down
Don't be no fool just stay in school
And let the deejay teach the golden rule
Let's stop the robbing and killing each other
Come on everybody
Let's love one another, right now
[EK Mike C]
Well, I'm EK Mike C, fine as can be
Girls leave their man to mess with me
Brown eyes black hair
Y'all can never compare
As I walk down the street then you stop and stare
You look into my eyes and there's sparkle glare
We can do a little something we both can share
Do you know what he means?
I'm like a sex machine
[G-Man]
It's as plain as day that's what they say
That when G-Man raps you'll want to stay
When all the competition wants to run away
And remove themselves from the field of play
With a photogenic smile comes a power and style
I'll make each and every minute worth your while
Savoir faire and young, how's a side he swung
Rock a rhyme any time with the breath of my lungs
So unique and complete and oh so sweet
Like a new sports car, made for the elite
We want to rock
We want to rock
Don't stop
We'll keep on rocking
We want to rock
We want to rock
Don't stop
Big shot do you wanna rock?
There's 1-2-3-4-5 of us and
We came to make you move, and
To the competition
We've got something to prove
So shake your boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom
And get on down, and get on down
