This is what I want to do, right?
I want to give these people
a little taste

the wheels of steel,

used to throw the records on
E 
And get stupid back an d forth,
Am 
left, right, crooked upside down
and all that stuff
F 
E 
I want you to do all that stuff
for these people, right,
cause I talk all the time

I   tell everybody how deaf you are,
every time we go somewhere
E 
Am 
I'll be yelling and screaming
F 
I want you to get busy on your own,

E 
I'm telling you,
Am 
G#m 
this man can not be taken,
he can't be beaten,
E 
G#m 
don't keep on talking, oh yeah
DJ, don't keep on talking.
E 
Jeff, this is what I want you do,
take that record from the top,
G#m 
right, scratch it in right now,
and I want you to do what's
called a breakdown,
G#m 
just break it down for him, right.
Now start it with the music,
E 
and then cut the music out,
and just break it down for him.
Am 
G#m 
Jeff, go  ahead. Now break
E 
G#m 
E 
it down.
G#m 
E 
Ah Jeff, that was deaf man, that was deaf,
G#m 
you did it too fast man,
you gotta do it a little slower this time.
Am 
Or  maybe no music,
G#m 
yeah that's what you can do.
Yeah that's the ticket, that's the ticket.
Hey Jeff, just break it down
with no music, right?
Bring it here, now break it down,
and then do it slow with
no music
G#m 
G#m 
so everybody can hear it.
Now you had enough time
to warm up back there, man.
Are you ready to really get stupid or what?
E 
Yes. I didn't hear you, man.
You ready to cold rip things apart
or what?
Yes. You ready, man?
I didn't hear you. Yes. All right, I'm with it.
All right, Jeff, now hold up.
Remember the other day
that DJ approached us man
he was talking all that trash
about how good he was
what did you tell him
that he could do?
What'd you tell him?
And you know he still kept
talking trash right?
He talked all that trash Jeff
and then the next day we found out
that he took your stuff
but you didn't even care
what did you tell him he could do?
Now what did it sound like
when you bit it?
Alright, enough about that guy,
you know what I was just
thinking about?
Remember the other day
we were walking down the street
and that girl came up to you
and she was looking you up
and down
and gritting as she wasn't
real.
And what did you tell her? What?
You even broke it down for her,
get busy. Yo Word,
now after she felt it
and found out it was real, man,
you kind of look like you was with her a little bit,
man.
You was moving and all that stuff, man.
She had her hands all over you.
Hold on, tell everybody what
you start screaming, man.
Hold on, tell them loud, I didn't hear you.
Dup, dup, dup, dup, dup,
dup, dup, dup, dup.
Dup -dup, dup -dup,
dup dup dup -dup, -dup.
Yo, Word, that was definitely, Jeff,
man, that's just the way we used to rock it, man.
We used to rip crowds up.
hold on, remember how
when all them DJs
used to be on the stage and everything? After you got off,
they be whispering and saying stuff to themselves
about how you ain't this
and you ain't that.
What did you use to do, Jeff?
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Word. Rhythm Tracks house party style.
Yo, Jeff, we rockin'.
Let's get out of here.
