ROCK, ROCK around the clock Three years ago in St. Albans, Queens I was rockin at a park called one eighteen Little kids stood and watched as I rocked the spot Didn't know that years later I'll be standin on top Livin near Farmers Boulevard I was born and base-shaw Stopped the rich and shaked hands with the poor And this is a story about a brother I know Cut Creator on the fader no watch him go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go When back in the days before I clocked some dough I used to go to the show and sit in the front row Hopin and prayin one day I'll get on the road So I had a feeler and a summer and I meet when I'm stoned Not fearin a thought, got stung like a horse Don't make fun of my posse, cause each man is a boss When his only damn way to pull a jam out the crate One time for your mind Check out the guitar break Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go This jam just wasn't enough for Jimmy Hendrix to see He could do lessons of mixin take you under his wing Straight from the heart cause it ain't the money that we came here for Ain't no thoughts in the room ain't breakin no roles And in the Rock 'n' Roll land, a big strivin plan Just my posse learn the vocals what little they had It's all about us three: Eve, Phil & Jay He heard Cut Creator cut now check it out to play Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Rock, rock y'all check out the funky cut It's like travellin through time to the straight cats strut Cuts are slicker than Grease needle as sharp as a knife We'll be do doin the doo for the rest of the lines Wanna piece of the action, it's time to party, get up Not a subway bummy singer puttin change in a cup Wanna see you boogie, oogie jumpin up and down Bitin your livin hold your breath until we come to your town L-L-C-O-O-L-J-I-S-H-A-R-D-A-S Cut Creator cut the record for me Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go L-L-C-O-O-L-J-I-S-H-A-R-D-A-S Go, go, go, go, ahh, go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go, go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go Go Cut Creator Go L-L-C-O-O-L-J-I-S-H-A-R-D-A-S-H-E-L-L
