[Homie #1 (Double K):] Ay-yo, man, looks like Thes One and Double K over there!
[Homie #2 (Double K):] Great! Give me the twelve inch… let's listen to it. Put it on…
[Double K:]
Well, here's two brothers from our neighborhood
They guaranteed to rock a beat, and rock a beat good
So, c'mon, Double K and Thes One, for me
Get on the microphone, so all your friends can see
We're all backing you up one hundred percent
We know your time is here, now this is it
If somebody out there like what I said
Somebody yell, "Go 'head!"
[Crowd:] Uh, go 'head!
[Double K:] Uh, go 'head!
[Crowd:] And go 'head!
[Double K:] And you don't stop
Uh, one time for your mind, uh, party people
Two times for the rhyme, uh, Thes One, rrruh!
[Thes One:]
Thes One is here, so stop your messing around
I leave your sucka MCs like a sad-faced clown
I keep my JVC with batteries when rolling around
And Cambridge Boulevard is where the homie get down
Now, girl, you could be a liar or a two-faced freak
Because it really doesn't matter when I start to speak
I got a whole lotta charm, I compliment you galore
We take a ride on the train, I'm wearing suits of velour
'Cause I know you got my picture on your bedroom door
And after one night of loving, you'll be asking for more
You might call my house, but I won't answer the phone
I'm just a king on a throne, and I'mma leave you alone
I got Susie and Maria, can't forget Roxanne
Got Lisa and Janelle, Jessica and plus Ann
And they all know who's the man with party people control
He's just a cool Latin lover with a whole lotta soul, yyyah!
[Both:]
Now, everywhere we go, and everything we do
Is just a funky fresh style that we rock for you
[Thes One:] It's Double K
[Double K:] And Thes One
[Both:] And we rock the best
From the North to the South, the East and the West
For the ladies' delight and party people galore
We are the ones that you adore
[Thes One:] So, Double K, get on the mic
And brother, do your thing
Take this microphone and rap like you know what I mean
[Double K:]
It's a hit! Hear it on your radio box
Blasting in the ghetto by your favorite jocks
And the scratching is fresh and the beat is dope
I'm profiling on the tube with my man, Bob Hope
I'm like drugs to the dope fiends hanging around
And I super-produce to make your friends get down
And that's right, I'm hyped, and homeboys alike
I'm gonna take your position and leave your crew wishing
They were never born 'cause I hunt 'em down
And make 'em understand why I came to town
You see, Reagan's in office, but you better vote
For the brown-skinned Leo with the golden throat
And say "yes" to this and say "no" to all of that
And I promise to you to keep the jam real packed for you
Now, run and tell your buddies that you got rocked
By a couple of old fools and a fresh beatbox, rrrah!
[Both:]
Everywhere we go, and everything we do
Is just a funky fresh style that we rock for you
[Thes One:] It's Double K
[Double K:] And Thes One
[Both:] And we rock the best
From the North to the East, the South and the West
And pretty ladies' delight and party people galore
We are the ones that you adore
We are the ones that you adore
We are the ones that you adore… rrrah!
[Thes One:] Yeah…
[Both:] Rrrah!
[Double K:] Scratching… scratch, scratch, scratch, scratching!
[Thes One:] Hah! (repeats)
[Double K:] Get a load of my DJ, a load of my DJ! Scratching! Cut it up! Cut it up, w-wicked! That's my DJ! Know what I'm saying?
[Thes One:] Fresh…
[Double K:] Funky fresh!
[Thes One:] It's fresh…
[Double K:] Scratching, scratching, scratching!
[Thes One:] We're fresh…
[Double K:] C'mon, K, scratch it up! W-wicked! Hup!
[Thes One:] We're fresh… fresh… so fresh… so fresh, uh, fresh… fresh!
[Double K:] That's my DJ… So damn fresh! Scratching for you, scratching for me, and the whole damn crew… scratching, scratching… just scratching, scratching…
[Thes One:] Fresh…
[Double K:] Scratching it up! Just scratching it up! Rrruh!
