Beat Of The Drum
Activate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the beat, to the beat, to the beat of the drum
Push it up to the maximum
To the beat, to the beat, to the beat of the drum
Push it up to the maximum
I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
I need the beat of the drum, enjoy the time with me
I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
Oh baby give it a try, enjoy the time with me
Enjoy the time with me,
enjoy the time with me

Go with the beat, the beat of the drum
The beat move your feat, the beat goes on
Calculation, life, celebration
Party people all over the nation
You're lookin' for the perfect beat
The godfather speed up your feet.
I'm the preacher, I'm a teacher,
How to cool down if you feel down.
Sooner or later I'm your activator,
Beats get faster, don't move later.
Say no go, it's your show,
Jack your body let the breakbeat go!

To the beat, to the beat, to the beat of the drum
Push it up to the maximum

I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
I need the beat of the drum, enjoy the time with me
I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
Oh baby give it a try, enjoy the time with me
Enjoy the time with me,
enjoy the time with me

Boom blow the house down,
Loop the breakbeat of a tribal sound.
Bomb the bass, let the beat run,
I'm the master of the rollin' drum.
Save the vinyl the 12 inch,
Cut the bootleg of the rhyme twins.
Movin' groovin' shakin' breakin'
Got to get funky no mistakin'
Romancin' trancin'
Chack up the frequence dancin'
Say no go it's your show,
Jack your body let the breakbeat go

To the beat, to the beat, to the beat of the drum
Push it up to the maximum
I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
I need the beat of the drum, enjoy the time with me
I need the beat of the drum, the music makes me free
Oh baby give it a try, enjoy the time with me




Enjoy the time with me,
enjoy the time with me

Activate had alot of good ones, but this is the best one.  I remember when I lived in Germany in the 90s.  They were really big back then.
