Groove
C.J. Bassett Lyrics

Groove to the sounds of Jam Master Jay
Enjoy the music produced by Jam Master Jay

The high-potent, super-charged
The music is of high quality and highly energized

Spiritual lyrical miracle, of a man
References to Jay's amazing talent as an MC and DJ

Damn, you can't understand
Jay is too good to be understood by regular people

The fulfillment, of the prophecy
Jay's skills are a testament to the accuracy of prophetic statements

The epitome, the legacy, of every MC
Jay is the best example and measure of every MC

Understand, to be the man
To be the best, one needs to understand Jay's skills

You got to beat the man
To be the best, one needs to beat Jay at his own game

Got somethin to say, let the music play
Express yourself through the music

It's the real, real deal
The music is authentic and genuine

Don't you feel stupid? Reel to reel, and we looped it
Using looping technology to create music that sounds genuine and not manufactured

Takes it around, we threw the sound
Circulating the music to reach a bigger audience

Threw down, now scoop this!
Bringing the heat, listen to this!

Here we go, like back in the days
Referencing the good old days of hip hop

The true heroes, MC's, DJ's
Recognizing the heroes of the hip hop culture, the MC's and the DJ's

The Hollis Crew, we rocked the spot
Identifying the crew that is rocking the party

Fe-male grou-pies, they jock a lot
The female groupies showing admiration for the crew

Ugly hoes jockin, don't give em no rap
Ignoring the attention of unattractive females

Sack ?? or not, cause my posse's strapped
Being prepared for any situation or confrontation

Don't deny us, the flyest guys in town
Acknowledging themselves as the coolest guys in town

Punks, try us, you get beat down
Warning anyone who challenges them that they will get beat up

The 40 Ounce Crew and Afros is in charge
Leadership and control of the party

We N.F.L., that's Niggaz Fuckin large
Identifying as a group that's big and in charge

And we drive big cars
Having material success and wealth

Our entourage, is rollin hard
Their supporters are loyal and tough

We don't play uh-uh no way
Refusing to be disrespected or played with

So slam for the jam, fast, if ya can
Dancing energetically to the music

Damn I never ran, cause man I am
Referencing bravery and confidence

Gonna keep the beat complete (complete)
Pledging to continue producing quality music

Compete defeat (defeat), and serve suckers a seat!
Beating the competition and making them sit down

Now you're lazy crazy, a daisy don't faze me
Not being influenced by negativity or people who don't work hard

Here's my nine now raise me
Brandishing a gun as a symbol of their power

Another vic to stick and lick so quick
Beating people quickly and easily

You got your ass kicked now get off my dick
Telling defeated opponents to go away

Pull up to the bumper baby
An invitation for someone to get close and dance

And kiss my motherfuckin ass!
A vulgar expression of defiance

As we come, together, forever, whenever
Hip hop community coming together and supporting each other

The clever get better (better) so get yourself together
The talented will continue to improve, so strive to be your best

And listen to the rhymes I'm about to say
Pay attention to the meaningful words that will follow

Now I kick a lyric live, rip rockin rhymes
Showcasing their lyrical prowess in real time

A line on time, a fine design
Writing clever rhymes with a great flow

All the girls, look my way
The attractive women are drawn to their music and performance

All on mines and they always say,
Gathering attention and admiration from the women

"D.M.C. - you look so cute
Compliments directed at Darryl McDaniels

In your Carhart suits, and Adidas boots"
Describing fashion choices and style preferences

I'm not souped, I just troop
Not letting the success go to their head; being humble

Loop the loop, for my crew
Continuing to produce great music for their fans

I hold the fort, fly rhymes I sport
Being responsible for maintaining the greatness of their music

I fought then brought you the knowledge you sought
Sharing their valuable experiences and wisdom with fans

So listen good, and listen well
Paying attention to their words

Cause I +Raise Hell+ with the stories I tell
Being a great storyteller who's not afraid to push boundaries

When I groove to the sounds of Jam Master Jay
Referencing inspiration drawn from the great Jay

And aiyyo! I just want to shout out to my home-BRO, from Tokyo!
Positively acknowledging a friend from Tokyo

And check this out, if you're a critic, you can get the DIDDICK
Warning critics not to criticize them unfairly

Just because I pop a lot of SHITTIT
Not caring if people are offended by their words

All the way, to L.A.
Acknowledging that their fame and reach extends to Los Angeles

And to my homeboys, Ladi Dadi
Acknowledging and giving a shout out to their friends

I just want to know, why you rock it so hard
Expressing admiration for their friends' talent and skill

And to the Hollis Crew, the 40 Ounce Crew
Giving shout outs to other crews they have respect for

And the Afros too, just want to let you know,
Acknowledging and appreciating the talent and unique style of other crews

This is what we love, TO DO!
Professing love and passion for their craft

(Yeahhhh babyee) AUGGGH!
Celebrating their achievements and having fun
