Bad Boy Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mortal motivations, looking for the perfect beat
Mighty Zulu Nation, they have found the perfect beat
Afrika Bambaataa, I present the perfect beat beat beat beat
Looking for the perfect beat (Searching for the perfect beat)
Looking for the perfect beat (Seeking for the perfect beat)
I must get mine (I'm out to get it)
Now in this world of music, there are many different tones (Tell 'em)
If there's no satisfaction, just pay for some action (Listen up)
On your radio, you hear perfect beats playing (Hey)
If it makes you satisfied, just get a pony and ride! (Giddy up!)
Well if you're looking for the perfect beat, people
Well here's a perfect beat for ya
So ? with a chorus you can sing, round up!
Looking for the perfect beat (Searching for the perfect beat)
Looking for the perfect beat (Seeking for the perfect beat)
I must get mine (I'm out to get it)
I must get mine (I'm out to get it)
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Say we like to body rock the parties
Say we like to body rock the parties
You like to body rock the parties?
We like to instant pop the parties
Students, of the music, at every single age
Must exercise the quotes of Shakespeare, with this life upon a stage
When we say life you know that's right, has a meaning
Our music does complete it
And all the things that we want to keep teasing, teasing, teasing
Looking for the perfect beat, people
Well here's a perfect beat for ya
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat
Looking for the perfect beat party, the one with the top sure shot mix
Stop a futuristic hit dance, just party (Get loose, get loose)
Every time we get into it, makes us wheel and deal
Brings out the very best in us, that is for real
Now this is what you gotta do (This is what you gotta do)
This is a thing you must to, round up!
Music is a must, the rhythm moves the women
To a spacy romantic ocean that's ?
Perfer or every moment, is a space on the parade
With the psychadelic shades, make you party party, everybody
Now this is what you gotta do (This is what you gotta do)
This is a thing you must to, round up!
Mr. Biggs! (Looking for the perfect beat)
Now Pow Wow (Looking for the perfect beat)
The G.L.O.B.E. (Now found the perfect beat)
People of the world (We're looking for the perfect beat)
All the boys and girls (Looking for the perfect beat)
The Soul Sonic Force (Has found the perfect beat)

jenn1916
I had this on CD and blast this all the time. I can thank my Latino neighbors(In Brooklyn)for always pumping the Spanish house for the inspiration to buy it.
Synno
My brother had this CD and put it on my Xbox as a kid. Good times, memories of playing state of emergency and desert and other games with the custom soundtrack feature. I think this CD is what got me into house music
