Heartbeat
A.I.P Lyrics

Alright everybody move back from the ropes
Asking everyone to move back from the music stage

If you don't move back we're gonna turn this music off
The music will stop if the people don't move back

and that's my word, move back!
Promise that the music will stop if the people don't move back

Word is bond let's get this shit goin
Let's start the show

Word up, it's the Funk Doc in the house
Introducing Funk Doc to the audience

say hell yeah! HELL YEAH!
Asking the audience to cheer

Say fuck yeah! FUCK YEAH!
Asking the audience to cheer even louder

Word up, it's the Funk Doc Spock you don't stop
Repeating the introduction of Funk Doc

It's my man KRS you don't stop
Introducing KRS

It's the girl Angie you don't stop
Introducing Angie

With the hah haha ha haha hah!!
Laughing to lighten the mood

It's the Butter Pecan Rican speakin deletin
Introducing Angie Martinez

other radio jocks that think they competin
Other radio hosts who think they are competing with her

they pre-sweetened, like candy, I'm hot like pepper
Comparing herself to others who are too sweet, Praising her own personality

Big up to Sandy but my name is Angie
Giving respect to Sandy, but also introducing herself

Martinez, what a true microphone fiend is
Praising herself to be a microphone fiend

Steppin up lovely with MY, AD-IDAS
Introducing herself again along with Adidas

through your speakers, representin
Representing for everyone who is listening

boriquas, and all hip-hop rhyme seekers
Representing boriquas and all hip-hop enthusiasts

You may think I'm crazy right, but I'm crazy hype
Saying she is full of energy

Slay this nice y'all, everytime Angie grab the mic
Promising to deliver a good performance

I jams it right tonight, not the hardest
She will perform well tonight

But peep the style of this Puerto Rican Goddess
A description of herself

Aiyyo yo yo yo, stop the music!
KRS-One asking to stop the music

Aiyyo back up off the ropes, man, word up!
Asking the people to move back more from the stage

Yo get from the off the ropes
Asking the people to move back more from the stage again

Now aiyyo yo yo, KRS-One, come again the selector!
Asking KRS-One to start the music again

It's been a long time but we made it, you waited
Introducing the idea that the performance was long awaited by the audience

You gettin frustrated cause these MC's in trainin
The audience is getting annoyed by amateur MCs

Skills on the mic for a royalty save it
Saved up skills to use at the appropriate time

Pullin down rap so that others can't make it
Toppling the competition by being better than them

They can't fake it in front of KRS they naked
Explaining how amateur performers can't fake their skill in front of KRS

That same old MC trend I'm here to break it
Wanting to break the trend of mediocre performers

The highly conceptional multidirectional
Praising himself for being versatile in his performance style

Hot in ninety-seven so I guess I'm flexible
A boast about being current and adaptable

Rap relieve stress so yes I guess it's medical
Positing that rap has therapeutic properties

All your wrecking and raping is still theoretical
Describing how actions of his detractors are all in theory, and not reality

Redman, you know you must understand (Whatup?)
Talking to Redman in particular

Redman, you know you gots to understand (Hah! Whatup love?)
Citing Redman's need to understand

Angie, rockin with the one BDP (Ha, haha)
Praising Angie for being part of BDP

Representin right now at Hit Factory
Proudly representing the Hit Factory

One two hah, and you don't quit
Starting another part of the performance

It's Kris and Angie with the ultimate
Introducing Kris and Angie together

One two hah, and you don't quack
Insinuating that the audience cannot outdo them

It's Funk Doc smoke weed and don't smoke crack
Introducing Funk Doc Smoky

Hahaha, hah, and you don't quit
Keeping up the energy of the show

Hoohahhahah, and you don't quit
Keeping up the energy of the show again

I rock jams like, Samsonites with mics
Boasting that he does well in concerts

Stage two boomin system and flood the lights
Describing the stage set up

The lyrical, fo'-fo's lettin off like suppose
Boasting about his lyrical talent

Reggie Reg is rockin on the ra-dioooo!
Shouting out to Reggie Reg

Hahh, huh, the oooh-child too chill
Telling a story about being too cool

Caps peeled, Someone In My Bed like Dru Hill
A clever wordplay comparing his hat to Dru Hill

Raise em up, cause I feel my spot can't be touched
Feeling secure that he can't be replaced

No time for the Pauline jack, hit the clutch
No time for bad luck or circumstance

Shotgun what?? It's the high exalted
Continuing to boast about himself

Ruler of the buddha, the cash make my pockets
Describing how he is rich

stick out like a tumor, for the consumers
Using a simile to describe his wealth

I get busy with La Pluma, detonate the bomb
Getting busy with the pen, and exploding as a performer

to make you hibernate sooner, certified luna-tic
Making people so tired they fall asleep, while also being a certified lunatic

My click run deeper than Charlie Tuna
His crew runs deeper than Charlie Tuna's

Kahunas, raw for the able key movers
Describing himself as bold for those who control the industry

all over the hood like them Crooked I coolers
They are all over the place, like Crooked I coolers

Bang maneuvers, from Jerz to Vancouver
Continuing his boastful freestyle

Back to the Bronx with heartbeats ample looped up
Back to the Bronx with a lot of excitement

I Blastmast like Kris, funk abyss
Complimenting Kris for being a good performer

like a phone chauvenist with a Roley on the wrist
Comparing himself to a rich playboy

Sike! I can afford it, less I slaughtered
Joking that he can afford a Rolex without violence

three platinum niggaz and none of em prerecorded
Bringing his own music, instead of using pre-recorded tracks

KRS-One need to be runnin for office
A call for KRS to run for office

So Butter Pecan Rican, tell them to get off his
Making an edgy joke about his ethnicity
