Key: C major
Verse 1
be comin up to me sayin
"Yo man what's up with
the Underground man?
You guys old school,
new school R&B or hip hop?"
What should I tell em?
Dm
F
Now this is not your average everyday
Verse 2
rap song
We won't be rockin bells that go
a ding and a dong
The bass drummer hipper won't be
lingering on
Dm
F
Check out the way we kick
it on the microphone
The funky beat is playin and we're
swingin along
C
F
with the hip- hop song
Well listen close and make sure
you don't miss a thing
Don't you know that we're the
microphone masters
Known to MC's as the raw
dog bastards
We bust rhymes, and write everyday
So listen close,
to the things that we say
Triple- slippin MC's will get
verbally raped
We'll send you home
F
C
And just rock this, you can't stop this
F
Dm
Ah just rock this,
The funky beat is playing
and we're swingin along
Dm
C
Cause America likes the
F
Dm
F
way we swing
MC's, you like the way we swing
I hope you do,
cause if you don't it don't mean a thing
See we don't play for other hip- hop crews,
it's not about you
We do the things that we wanna do
Dm
C
But you you're just a sucker
Your real name is probably
Bradworth or Bennett
Dm
F
Your verbal baggage ain't got nuthin in it
You think that you're rockin but
you're not hip- hoppin
So you best stop jockin at the masters

Verse 4
slippin you're triple- slippin
You're triple- slippin (yo man) you rhyme
C
F
About convincing as a preacher,
who smokes reefer
Dm
F
Get out of town with that noise,
this is the underground
