Brother Man Get Hip
Kid 'N Play Lyrics

We dropped and left it on the program
We have made our record and left it on the program for everyone to listen.

This ain't a slow jam
Our record is not slow music that people can't dance to.

Frustratin rappers with our dope jam
Our record is better than other rappers', and that frustrates them.

I mean a record we can all dance to
We have made a record that everyone can dance to.

And at the same time prove our point to you
While making people dance, we want to prove a point to our audience.

Kid 'n play don't play, this time we're comin rough & rugged
We are not joking around and coming tough this time.

You're rappin like a Sunday driver, who's comin liver?
You are rapping slowly and we are rapping better than you.

Kid and Play, Play and Kid, two survivors
We, Kid and Play, are survivors in the rap industry.

Kid on the mic, add Play to make it greater
Me (Kid) on the mic and Play make the record even better.

It's see you later alligator when Wiz rocks the fader
When our producer (Wiz) makes the beats with the fader, the record will be even better.

Listen to the rhyme cause I'm gonna pass the time
Listen to the lyrics because we are going to entertain you.

He's gonna blast your mind, cause I'm a mastermind
We are going to blow your mind with our music because I am a mastermind.

I'm steady slayin, preyin, you'll be stayin, friend
I am doing well and entertaining you, so you will stay and listen to my music.

Watch what you're sayin when, it's Kid 'n Play again
Be careful with what you say when we perform because we will come back again.

Pumpin and jumpin, you know that I'm a go-getter
Our music is energetic and fun to listen to.

Stop frontin and stuntin, boy, you know you just better
Stop pretending and showing off because you know our music is better.

Remember the face, remember the voice
Remember our faces and our voices because we are talented rappers.

Remember Kid 'n Play when it comes to the choice
When it comes to choosing the best rapper, remember us (Kid 'n Play).

For MC of the year, one down the roster
We should be chosen as MC of the year (best rapper).

Open up the envelope, give us the Oscar
We want to win awards and be recognized as the best in the industry.

Yo, we'll keep it pumpin tough
We will keep making energetic and exciting music.

We'll give you somethin rough
We will give you a record that stands out and is better than others.

So stop your frontin cause, you know it's us
Stop pretending because you know we are the best in the industry.

We're a duo and you don't know just who you're messin with
We are a talented duo and you are not aware of our true capability.

So stop you're guessin, kids
Stop guessing about our talent and just listen to our music.

Here's what the message is
Our message is to make people dance and entertain them with our music.

Now I'm the Kid, oh, did you know it?
I (Kid) am the rapper and I am letting you know that.

I had to show it that I was a cool, keen freestyle poet
I had to demonstrate that I am a talented freestyle poet.

I glide and stride with pride, Play's by my side
I rap with confidence and Play is supporting me.

Just chillin, along for the ride
We are just enjoying the experience of making music together.

Now it's the capital K-i-d, this is my ID
My name is Kid and those are my initials.

My rhyme history on the m-i-see
My history of rapping is known to many.

Will show I know how to flow
My history of rapping proves that I am talented and can rap well.

On the mic I strike a blow
When I rap, it has a strong impact.

And throw toe to toe
I am not afraid of competing against others in the industry.

Brothers want to own what I write and use my strategy
Other rappers want to copy my style and strategy.

I bust a rhyme on the mic and they get mad at me
When I make good music, other rappers get jealous and upset.

The light-skinned brother takin no shorts
I (Kid) am not going to back down and let others take over my talent.

Yo, who is that rappin on contact sport?
People are curious about who is making good music in the industry.

I ain't tellin it, records, keep sellin it
I am not revealing who is making good music, let the records continue to sell.

y'all keep yellin to the rhythm that's so compellin
People are dancing and enjoying the music.

That's right, on the mic what we're sayin is vital
What we are rapping about is important and should be heard by everyone.

Kid 'n Play, the new matinee idols
We are new rappers that are becoming wildly popular.

You know what time it is, that's our claim to fame
Our talent and popular music is our claim to fame.

You know who our producer is, don't have to say his name
Our producer (Wiz) is well-known and doesn't need to be introduced.

Let it be known yeah, there'll be a scandal, see
Warning, there may be a controversy in the future.

If you're dissed, we're idolmakers family
If someone disses us (Kid 'n Play), they are disrespecting our family of talented rappers.

So get hip to this, we're equipped for this
Listen and understand our music because we are very talented and capable of making it.

Built for speed indeed, so just skip to this
Our music is so good and fast-paced that you should just listen to it and dance.

Rhythm is what we give em to keep em steady
Our music has a good rhythm that makes people want to keep dancing.

Count it off - 1-2-3-4 - are you ready?
Get ready to dance and count along with the music.

See, cause I'm goin for mine
I (Kid) am trying to make my music as best as possible.

Boy, you know the time, partners in rhyme
You know that now is the time to listen to our music because we are partners and talented rappers.

Musically attached to a beat that swings
Our music is attached to a good beat that makes people want to dance.

Kid 'n Play are here runnin things
We (Kid 'n Play) are the ones in the rap industry that are in charge and leading the way.
