Drop the Bomb
2 Live Crew Lyrics

{Everybody over there!}
{All the people on the left, just participate}

{Get on up!}
{Encouraging people to participate and have a good time}

{Everybody up there!}
{All the people on the right, we won't make you wait}

{Get into it!}
{Encouraging people to participate and have a good time}

{Everybody right there!}
{All the people in between, just shout and scream}

{Get involved!}
{Encouraging people to participate and have a good time}

All the people on the left, just participate
{Encouraging people on the left to participate in the party}

And everybody o the right, we won't make you wait
{Assuring people on the right that they won't be left out and will have a good time}

And all the people inbetween, just shout and scream
{Encouraging everyone to participate and make some noise}

And have a funky good time if you know what I mean
{Encouraging everyone to have a wild and enjoyable time}

Because when we rhyme, we move people by the masses
{Acknowledging that their music has a wide appeal and can move the crowd}

When they say they'll pay we'll play when they ask us
{Indicating that they'll perform if paid and requested to do so}

Some say they don't know of us but that is a lie
{Dismissing people who pretend not to know about them}

Suckas try to play they games of Dis-and-Die
{Calling out haters who try to take them down}

And don't you try to shake my hand or be my friend
{Warning people not to pretend to be friends}

Unlike a hook made out of rubber I will not bend!
{Asserting that they won't change their ways or give in to others}

{Drop the bomb!!}
{Inviting the DJ to play a killer track}

To all you silly suckas wo try to abuse us:
{Taking aim at those who try to bring them down}

When we get ignited you can't diffuse us
{Asserting their power and influence}

It'll be on radio and even TV
{Boasting about their popularity and success}

That we achieved a level where you want to be
{Boasting about their success and making it to the top}

Now step off the pedestal, give us the mike
{Asking others to give them the stage and let them perform}

So we can rock the people the way you would like
{Promising to perform and entertain the crowd}

Just do us a favor, don't be a jerk
{Asking the audience to behave well and not cause any trouble}

'Cause all we want to see is your body work!
{Asking people to dance and move to their music}

{But all we want to see is yo' body work!}
{Repeating the instruction to dance and move to their music}

{Work yo body!}
{Encouraging people to dance and move to their music}

There's a lesson to be taught, that's the one you should learn
{Stating that there's a lesson to be learned in their music}

You can't buy respect; it's what you earn
{Asserting that respect must be earned and can't be bought}

'Cause when you dis 2 Live you get yours in the end
{Warning people who disrespect them and telling them they'll get what's coming to them}

It's not a threat; it's a promise, my friend!
{Repeating the warning that their retaliation is certain}

So suckas step aside, let the women do their thing
{Asking haters to move aside and let women dance and perform}

Come on y'all, and shake that thing!
{Encouraging people to dance and move to the music}

{Work that thing!}
{Encouraging people to dance and move to the music}

{Yes!!}
{Expressing excitement and enthusiasm}
