You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Ay-yo, wake up, wake up!
It's a new day now
Sidestep right, left, move when I break down
How I get down, make 'em all sit down
Either that or have them hurrying to skip town
Feed your ears with the snares and the kicks, pow!
Always chew it up, but have to watch where I bit down
Try to navigate your way through this thick sound
It's Big Oak, duck and cover when I spit rounds
Catch me after the show, I breathe for a pit-stop
Surrounded by chicks who don't listen to hip-hop
But they do now, I'm sorta like a missionary
Gettin' every word into every herd
It may sound absurd but I don't ever
Never not wanna feel this way that I feel so
Catch the vibe and let down your guard
And let's make it capsize, we rock it so hard
You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Come, follow me as I work with the simple plan
Cut out the top, and the bottom, plus the middleman
It's kinda stressful trying to figure out this riddle, and
Honey said I'm looking pale and need a little tan
But that's because I've been behind closed doors
Trying to make these songs for you, and not do wrong or you
Might be inclined to jump on the next wagon
That's filled with young bucks who still keep their pants sagging
Yeah, I'm feeling old, but still play truth or dare
Been doing this since MFU wanted more facial hair
Yep, a seasoned vet in the game
And on the microphone you got to give it to 'em, hey!
I don't give a damn 'bout your man so I don't understand
Why you try to shake hands like its cool
'Cause see, for me and my band and the height that we stand
We can see you must feel like a fool
'Cause you can't bend the rules, you gotta break 'em in half
Like I did to everything that tried clutter my path
Fuck a flag, put an L on the maps
It seems the world must have forgot how to laugh
The smiles, the sighs, some police say "Hi"
They frown, they cry, so I say goodbye
Adiós, my man, I gotta fly
Got my people waiting for me, gotta catch a red-eye
You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Tell me what you got to say
Unless it ain't nothing, in that case, you're fronting
I tell you something, plus this and that, man
And I'll even do an encore if the crowd demands
I got a plan, you can bet that it deals
With me and my life, and a whole lotta music
So either love it or get used to it
And put them hands up if we tell you to do it
Number one, I ought to
Two, I got to
Three, make your head spin like helicopters
But can't stick around long for your thoughts, huh?
Don't have the patience, like a bad doctor
But I'll prescribe one thing for your asses
Put on your glasses and keep your ears waxless
'Cause I want y'all to hear and witness
The L-rocking crowds are ripping doors off the hinges
You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more than the minimum
Rock to the rhythm with 'em
Got to give it to 'em
Got to give a lot more (more)
