[01:57.50]Now I'm feeling the highs and you're feeling the lows
[01:59.73]The beat starts getting into your toes
[02:01.22]You start popping your fingers and stomping your feet
[02:03.60]And moving your body while you're sitting in your seat
[02:05.68]And then damn, you start doing the freak
[02:07.71]I said damn, a right outta your seat
[02:09.69]Then you throw your hands high in the air

[02:13.88]You're rocking to the beat without a care
[02:15.84]With the sure-shot MCs for the affair
[02:17.93]Now, I'm not as tall as the rest of the gang
[02:20.10]But I rap to the beat just the same
[02:22.05]I got a little face and a pair of brown eyes
[02:24.25]All I'm here to do ladies is hypnotize
[02:26.37]Singing on and on and on, on and on
[02:28.50]The beat don't stop until the break of dawn
[02:30.45]A singing on and on and on, on and on

[02:34.83]Pop the pop, pop, you don't dare stop
[02:36.84]A come alive, y'all gimme what you got
[02:38.87]I guess by now you can take a hunch
[02:40.94]And find that I am the baby of the bunch
[02:43.21]But that's okay, I still keep in stride
[02:45.10]'Cause all I'm here to do is just a wiggle your behind
[02:47.02]Singing on and on and on, on and on

[03:12.13]I said 1-2-3-4, tell me Wonder Mike what are you waiting for?
[03:16.15]Said a hip-hop, the hippie to the hippie
[03:18.43]The hip, hip-a-hop and you don't stop rockin'
[03:20.27]To the bang-bang, the boogie, say up jump the boogie
[03:22.65]To the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
[03:24.32]A-skiddlee bebop, we rock a scooby doo
[03:26.06]And guess what, America, we love you
[03:28.66]A 'cause ya rock and a roll with a so much soul
[03:30.82]You could rock 'til you're hundred and one years old
[03:32.67]I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
[03:34.88]But we're like hot butter on a breakfast toast
[03:36.90]We rock it up, a baby bubba
[03:39.14]Baby bubba to the boogie, the bang-bang, the boogie
[03:41.29]To the beat, beat, it's so unique
[03:43.21]Come on, everybody, and dance to the beat
[03:45.25]Have you ever went over a friend's house to eat
[03:47.42]And the food just ain't no good?
[03:49.07]I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas are mushed
[03:51.72]And the chicken tastes like wood
[03:53.27]A so you try to play it off like you think you can
[03:55.51]By saying that you're full
[03:57.17]And then your friend says, "Mama, he's just being polite
[03:59.72]He ain't finished, uh-uh, that's bull"
[04:01.53]A so your heart starts pumping and you think of a lie
[04:04.00]And you say that you already ate
[04:05.46]And your friend says, "Man, there's plenty of food"
[04:08.03]So you pile some more on your plate
[04:09.94]But while the stinky food's steaming, your mind starts to dreaming
[04:12.36]Of the moment that it's time to leave
[04:14.03]And then you look at your plate and your chicken's slowly rotting
[04:16.48]Into something that looks like cheese
[04:18.12]Oh, so you say that's it, I got to leave this place
[04:20.59]I don't care what these people think
[04:22.40]I'm just sitting here making myself nauseous
[04:24.54]With this ugly food that stinks
[04:26.51]Oh, so you bust out the door while it's still closed
[04:28.77]Still sick from the food you ate
[04:30.49]And then you run to the store for quick relief
[04:32.86]From a bottle of Kaopectate
[04:34.89]And then you call your friend a two weeks later
[04:37.08]To see how he has been
[04:38.74]And he says "I understand about the food
[04:41.03]Baby bubba, but we're still friends"
[04:42.83]A with a hip-hop, the hippie to the hippie
[04:45.29]The hip, hip-hop and you don't stop the rockin'
[04:47.88]To the bang-bang boogie, say up jump the boogie
