Lyrics

I say hiphop (don't stop), I say hiphop (don't stop)
I say hiphop (don't stop) I say hiphop (aawwwwww)
I'll be funkin' it up like George Clinton the p-funk allstar
show me the microphone and I'll show you how far, i can take it
watch me make it so sweet, than when we break into beat
you see I'm up-to-par
and i know what time it is because i'm rhyming this
I'm always dropping words where they belong because my timing is impeccable, (respectable)
every time I get up I get down, I've been called a spectacle around town

Yo, Willard and Tilly; i-defy and the Phillies
Come together with a new thing. Isn't it silly
that two suburbanites, who rock like masonite
Are keeping it tight all morning noon and night?
Alright, let me just get to the point
I'm employed by Medea just to rock the joint
From the days of three-brainers, big boys and hard gainers
The juice of never-ending entertainers.

Hiphop (don't stop) Hiphop (don't stop)

c-a-s-h-t-i-l-l pass me the mic and let me begin to get funky
not just a beat junkie,, but there's a good chance
there's a little bit of punk-in-me
the pub near the city where i'm living, beautiful woman
keep comin' up to me sayin' "aren't you that dope mc"?
and i say..."yeah...."

Everybody speak of a breakdown. This hit's a shakedown
Gotcha in a takedown. Get you in the mix.
The party never quits. The revolution will be televised -
I throw back to 8-bits.
Now Look before you leap, 'cause I'm on top of the heap.
They're all sheep that all bleat for the beat that I keep
And you better brought your loot, 'cause the bill is pretty steep.
You know I ain't giving it cheap.
what up peeps? and all you cool kids (that's it)
i'm sellin' my service so come place your bids
we don't bump the bass, we just bump the mids,
so never poke fun about the way i live
they call me cash till, cuz i don't have any...got a collection of hits
and i never made a penny, so follow me and your ears won't deceive
as we lead hiphop into the next century

spare no expense for the perfect sound, your ready to unravel
too tightly wound, yeah,
I know you wanna move when the record spins 'round
cuz you know our turntables weigh eighty-three pounds...right now?
now i'm gonna say hiphop don't stop, hiphop don't stop, hiphop don't stop
