[00:07.43]watch as the room rocks
[00:09.55]mentally moonwalk
[00:10.05]mixed media slang banging in your boombox
[00:12.62]verbal violence
[00:13.83]lyrical stylist
[00:15.06]in a time when rock\/hip-hop rhymes are childish
[00:17.28]you can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
[00:19.92]rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
[00:22.29]with your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
[00:24.72]and a DJ in the group just for credibility
[00:26.69]i heard that some of you are gettin' help with your rhymes
[00:29.45]you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
[00:31.58]rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
[00:33.44]cuz rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
[00:35.90]but now they're getting randomly mixed and matched up
[00:38.96]all after a fast buck
[00:40.28]and all the tracks suck
[00:41.43]so how does it stack up
[00:42.83]none of its real
[00:43.81]you wanna be an emcee
[00:44.96]you gotta study the skill
[00:46.12]who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:47.90]bring it to you every time like this
[00:50.89]who can rock a rhyme like this
[00:53.33]step step up step step up
[00:55.06]so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
[00:58.25]but mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
[01:00.20]with a tendency to make up stories
[01:02.43]it sounded like the only hip-hop you've heard is top-40
[01:05.20]and your record company's completely missed it
[01:07.58]and all the kids are dissin' it for not being legitimate
[01:10.61]so in a battle you can't hack it
[01:12.51]react with whack **** and get smacked with verbal backflips
[01:14.55]get your ass kicked i'm a fabulous battle catalyst
[01:16.99]it's taken decades for emcees to establish this
[01:19.55]you're new to hip-hop and welcome if you're serious
[01:22.22]but not on a mike leave that to the experienced
[01:25.33]（using waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponent
[01:27.93]leaving him vulnerable to attack）
[01:31.01]who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:36.18]bring it to you every time like this
[01:38.69]who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:41.55]step step up step step up
[01:43.33]who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:46.35]bring it to you every time like this
[01:48.43]who can rock a rhyme like this
[01:51.23]step step up step step up step up
[01:53.97]
[02:51.54]who can rock a rhyme like this
[02:53.35]bring it to you every time like this
[02:55.23]who can rock a rhyme like this
[02:58.29]step step up step step up
[03:00.10]who can rock a rhyme like this
