Lyrics

The R Ooh aah, on the beat now Been a long time, pump up the R It's been a long time, pump up, pump up the R It's been a long time, pump up the R It's been a long time, pump up, pump up the R Whoever underestimated, still waited Pumpin' the radio, finally they played it You wondered how come the album was late I was givin' ya time to get the last one straight The show must go on, I got somethin' to dance to Slow it down and romance to, and gimme a chance to Keep you in tune and up to par Then you're doing it with the R Doin' it with the R Somethin' new and, to keep you doing, what'cha doing This is for you and your crew and, for who in The vicinity, I don't need no identity I see hands in the air, that means many be Cooperatin', I can't stop relatin' Hip-hop is makin' more sense when I'm statin' Paragraphs of potential to prevent you from using my instrumental Keep in mind I meant to Illustrate another iller break immediately Hurry up and learn the words and repeat it wit' me Then soon you're in tune and up to par And then you're doing it wit the R Ya keep doin' it Ya keep doin' it with the R The R The R The R The R In the Summertime, pockets bulgin' Somethin's happenin', then I'm indulgin' Music is mine, Gucci seats recline Gold grill, a paint job will shine Pull up in the park and then pop the trunk Turn up the bass and let the system thump A block party starts to form, people start to swarm Loud as a ghetto blaster, word is bond Records remind you of a madness The moment it's played, you get gladness The return of the brother, keepin' you up to par And you're doin' it with the R You know what I'm sayin' The microphone fiend Rakim in full effect DJ Eric B., need more records to wreck To the Queens posse, you're doin' it with the R Brooklyn, you're doin' it with the R The Bronx, is doin' it with the R Manhattan, keep doin' it with the R And Strong Island, you're doin' it with the R Wyandanch and the Paid in Full posse, doin' it with the R Peace to the Nation of Islam And I'm outta here Out Yo, what happened to peace? Peace
