Ice-T — Body Rock

[Intro: Dave Storrs] Let your body rock! Let your body rock! Let your body rock! [Verse 1: Ice-T] Hip-hoppin' is the thing that's in It's where the stone-cold nitro parties begin So listen party people with the ear to the street The college professors and the social elite To the fly young guys and the pretty girls Ice-T is gonna tell you 'bout that hip-hop world [Verse 2: Ice-T] Hip-hoppin' is a way of life With graffiti and rappin' on the mic As the records scratch to the break of beat A-hip-hop is sounds of the street Hip-hop has been around a while With the serious funk, the disco style A record scratch, a simple rap A breaker spinnin' on his back [Chorus: Dave Storrs] Body Rock! Body Rock! Body Rock! [Verse 3: Ice-T] Now I don't care what people say Hip-hop is here to stay When the hip-hop scene first gained attention They said it would die They said it couldn't make it They said it it'd never fly Now everywhere for you to see In movies, radio and TV But the hip-hop scene has substance, unlimited dimensions And it will live with or without mass media attention 'Cause it is not some fad created overnight It is a cultural movement that's bred by city life Now I'ma break it down for all of you Who've never seen a hip-hop crew The gangster cuts of cold DJs Shockin' and rockin' 'til the break of day Or the master arts of the graffiti man Expressin' himself with his spray can Yo people, what's it gonna be? Hip-hop is makin' history Now a hip-hop club is not a disco It's a record-cuttin', cold-crushin' rappin' show Like New York's Roxy, L.A.'s Radio The DJs keep you at a peak and on the go No three-piece suits allowed inside T-shirts, tennis shoes, loosely tied You hear scratchin' turntables across the floor And DJs spin on two and sometimes four Like this... [Verse 4: Ice-T] So when you listen to the music by your radio DJ And listen to the rappers on the records that they play And check out the graffiti that turns ghettos into art Or watch the kids who dance on the street and in the park We hope it's time you realize hip-hoppin' is the way To find true peace in city streets in this cold world today Let's dance, not fight, and all unite, just turn the box up loud To the funky beat, on any street you'll find that hip-hop crowd [Outro: Dave Storrs] The Body Rock! Keep your body rock! Let your body rock! Let your body rock! Keep your body rock! Let your body rock! Body Rock! Body Rock! Just Body Rock!
