Cut It Up
2 Live Crew Lyrics

Hey! Everybody you got to see…
Attention everyone, you need to witness something amazing

How a DJ should really be;
This is what a true DJ should look like

Cause when you're at a party and you're ready to jam;
Because parties are meant for dancing and having a good time

All other DJs need a helping hand;
Other DJs can't compare to this one

I know how you feel;
I understand what you're going through

It's like you wanna die;
It's as if you can't handle any other DJs

Get with it;
Give this DJ a chance

Give ours a try;
Try out this DJ instead

He's always on a pedestal above the rest;
This DJ is one of a kind and stands out amongst others

No, shame to his game cause he gives his best;
He's proud of his work and puts in a lot of effort

So when he's at a party the music never stops;
This DJ keeps the party going at all times

Cause Mr. Mixx is here to cut it up…
This DJ is Mr. Mixx and he knows how to mix and scratch to perfection

I must give credit where credit is due;
I need to acknowledge and recognize what is deserved

And, at the same time, make known to you;
But I also want to bring to your attention

Because when you see is when you will believe;
You won't believe it until you see it

That there is not another DJ with cuts like these;
There are no other DJs who can scratch and mix like this one

And, I'm not making false accusations when I'm saying…
I'm not lying to you when I say this

He rocks the house every show he's playing;
He gives an amazing performance at every show he plays

And, with the addition of a rapping technician, somewhat quite like myself;
And with me, a rapper and technician, helping him out

Enhancing all the cuts he makes, and keep his mixes in perfect health;
I help him make his mixes even better and keep them in top condition

So, for those who never seen and for those who have;
Whether you've seen him before or not

And, for those who don't like him, well, it's just too bad;
Those who don't like him are out of luck because he's still going to perform

And, for those who try to diss him because of his position;
And for those who try to put him down because of his success

They talk smack behind his back because they want to be down with him.
They talk badly about him but secretly admire him

He's Mr. Mixx better known as Dave;
This DJ's real name is Dave but he goes by Mr. Mixx

Sent many-a-DJ to an early grave;
This DJ is so good that others don't want to compete against him

When it was a battle or just a fight;
Whether it was a friendly competition or a serious one

In the bright of day or dark of night;
Whether it was daytime or nighttime

Cause he's always ready, willing, and able;
He's always prepared and capable

To rock sucker DJs on three turn tables;
To show other DJs how it's really done on three turntables

But, don't forget, the drum machine;
Don't forget about the drum machine that helps our sound stand out

Which enhances our sound, make us sound so clean!
The drum machine makes our sound clean and fresh

Take a second for the record and a minute for the sense;
Let's take a moment to think and reflect

Cause the Treach DJ's name is sure to be mentioned;
Because the DJ named Treach is going to be brought up in conversation

When you're talking about the DJs that are out today;
When discussing DJs who are currently popular

In your conversation, you will say;
You'll definitely mention

He possesses the gift to be so swift;
He has a special talent to be fast and skillful

Naturally great and talented;
He's naturally talented and gifted

He knows what he must do to rock you;
He knows exactly how to impress and entertain you

And, I'm not lying when I'm rapping cause I'm rapping the truth;
I'm not lying when I say this because it's the truth

He's my good friend and partner in business;
He's my friend and we work together

So won't you cut it up def, homeboy…yeah something like this….
So how about you let him do his thing, homeboy, something like this…
