2 Live Crew – Break It On Down lyrics

"Break it on down!"]

Verse 1: Brother Marquis
Now let me break it on down and tell the story
When they speak of us, the negative get mentioned
When they say "2 Live," your mama gets worried
An underground sound, talkin' shit off the street
But we don't care; thanks for your attention
That Ghetto Style with a hard-ass beat
Our explicit lyrics tells it like it is
If you don't like what I'm saying, get the fuck outta here!
The king of the ghetto, down with the clique
As he gets mixin' he don't like attention;
Luke Skyywalker, the man, not a myth
He just likes to hear crowd participation
Pumpin' up the people, makin' them one crowd
All in one motion, screamin' out loud
Together as one in every town

Slash' em on up, Luke! ["Break it on down!"]
Verse 2: Fresh Kid Ice
Is one who rocks the beat so the rhymes I say,
To get the party jumpin', is how I get paid
The definition of a good dj
Benefits of a hit is when I get laid
So the rhymes we say will always be flowin'
Mr. Mixx is the one to get things goin'
Maximizin' the effect of our vocals
Whether nationwide or even local
His cuts and scratches taken to the extreme
Can only be matched in another's dreams
Doin' things with his body that couldn't be done
Rockin' the masses all for fun
He's always needed after every show
The Treach dj, the only one you should know
Come on, Mr. Mixx, and ["Break it on down!"]
Step to the Mixx and get the crowd off the ground

Verse 3: Brother Marquis
I'm the type of nigga that'll break it down slow
If you ask me to rap, rap for you I'll do so
Like the Mona Lisa, I'm a sight to see
I rhyme like an artist, such as Davinci
This is not a tale and I'm not a character
Just a kind of mc who loves to harass ya
Out my dome, I'll start thinkin'
I don't think slow when it comes to rhymes
Get so funky 'til I start stinkin'
When times create, I shift to overdrive
I'll take 'em out quick, fast and in a hurry
Now all the competition, they're my last worries
Now I can go the distance, I can go the length
You don't know? You mean you ain't heard?
It's not the weak, because it's all in the strength
Yours truly, Marquis, can ["Break it on down!"]

[We'll make you feel the beat
