New Kid
New Kid Lyrics

We know you heard this beat many, many times
We acknowledge that you may have heard this beat before.

But bet you never heard it
However, we believe that you have never heard it in the way we present it.

With such a vicious rhyme
We have an impressive rhyme to go with the beat.

A rhyme with class and plenty of clout
Our rhyme has a sophisticated touch and is influential.

To show all you sucker emcees what it's about
We aim to demonstrate to all the inexperienced emcees what skillful emceeing means.

We hear the same stories everywhere we go
We keep hearing similar emceeing styles in every place we visit.

Hey it's not new who stole the show
None of those stale emceeing styles manage to impress anymore.

So for all you party people who are in a state of shock
We want to grab the attention of all the party people who seem astonished.

We're the New Kids on the Block
We are New Kids on the Block band, and we want to win you over with our music.

Chillin' on the corner the first day we arrive
We arrived in a new place and were casually hanging out.

From the looks of the hoods we didn't think we'd survive
We thought the hostile environment would have us feeling threatened and unsafe.

Second day there we were walking down the street
The very next day, we were just walking around town.

With a rhyme in mind and a funky beat
We were already planning our masterful rhymes over a groovy beat.

But when we turned into the alley, to our surprise
However, when we entered an alley, we were in for an unforeseen episode.

We seen a bunch of hoods right before our eyes
We saw an intimidating group of people staring at us.

They looked us up and down
The group evaluated us skeptically.

Once, twice, and again
They scrutinized us thoroughly a few times over.

There musta been a hundred to a hundred and ten
We were surrounded by what seemed to be a crowd of 100 or more people.

So I looked over my shoulder right at my friend
I turned to look at my companion beside me.

He said "Nice knowing ya but this is the end"
He casually and humorously commented that we might be at our demise.

So we battened down the hatches and prepared to fight
We stoically braced ourselves and readied for a physical altercation.

Then all of a sudden I've seen the light
However, just then, something became apparent.

'Cause the time was right, the time to rock
It was the perfect moment to show off and astound with our artistry.

'Cause everybody knows we're the New Kids on the Block
Everyone is aware that we are uniquely novice and unburdened with banality.

We're also devastating when we're on a stage
We are unstoppable when we perform live.

The fans start screaming and yelling with rage
Our fans become particularly vocal and passionate with devotion.

With mics in hand and rhymes with clout
We wield our microphones to control the crowd with our influential rhyming.

So watch it sucker emcees or we're gonna turn you out
We intend to impress and intimidate all inexperienced emcees.

We never talk trash, our rhymes are clean
Our rhymes are not derogatory or vulgar.

Our rhymes are never vague and we say what we mean
We articulate our thoughts and feelings comprehensibly and coherently.

So any sucker emcees who wanna battle us
Any inexperienced emcees who want to challenge us.

Can you go at least twenty lines without a cuss
We challenge them to perform without using any derogatory language in the lyrics.

'Cause one you start to jam you'll be in a state of shock
If they decide to take on our challenge, they'll be surprised at the level of difficulty.

Move the way party people
We want the people at the party to start dancing along.

We're the New Kids on the Block
We announce ourselves as being part of the band New Kids on the Block.

Move it sucker emcees or you're gonna feel the wrath
Those who refuse to join in will feel our disapproval.

So don't get caught up in the aftermath
We hope they are not affected in a negative way after interacting with us.

'Cause we're the funky emcees of the hiphop craze
We are the distinctive emcees of the hip hop movement.

Our rhymes are never long and it's sure to amaze
Our rhymes are never too monotonous and always sure to impress people.

We're the DJ cuttin' records
We represent the DJ segment of the band that mixes and cuts records.

Straight across face
We do the mixing work very dutifully and conscientiously.

We'll leave you party people all stuck in a daze
Our performance will have the party people in a state of wonder and awe.

We're fresh new and you know it's true
