It Takes Two |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
I wanna rock right now |
I’m Rob Base and I came to get down |
I’m not internationally known |
But I’m known to rock the microphone |
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous |
Stay away from me if you’re contagious |
'Cause I’m the winner, no, I’m not the loser |
To be an M.C. |
is what I choose 'a |
Ladies love me, girls adore me I mean even the ones who never saw me Like the way that I rhyme at a show |
The reason why, man, I don’t know |
So let’s go, 'cause |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
My name is Rob, I gotta real funky concept |
Listen up, 'cause I’m gonna keep you in step |
I got an idea |
That I wanna share |
You don’t like it? |
So what, I don’t care |
I’m number one, the uno, I like comp |
Bring all the suckers 'cause all them I’ll stomp |
Bold and black but I won’t protect |
All of my followers 'cause all I want is respect |
I’m not a doctor, put them in rapture |
A slick brother that can easy outfox ya Cause I’m Rob, the last name Base, yeah |
And on the mike, I’m known to be the freshest |
So let’s start, it shouldn’t be too hard |
I’m not a sucker so I don’t need a bodyguard |
I won’t fess, wear a bulletproof vest |
Don’t smoke buddha, can’t stand sess, yes |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
The situation that the Base is in |
I’m kinda stingy that’s why I don’t wanna lend |
A funky rhyme to a foe or a good friend |
But listen up 'cause I want you to comprehend |
'Cause I’m the leader, the man superior |
I take care of ya and then ya get wearier |
So just sit, my rhymes arenot counterfeit |
The record sells which makes this one a hit |
It won’t hurt to listen to Red Alert |
Take off your shirt |
Make sure it don’t hit the dirt |
I like the kids--the guys, the girls |
I want the ducats 'cause this is Rob Base’s world |
I’m on a mission, ya better just listen |
To my rhymes 'cause I’m all about dissin' |
'Cause |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
I stand alone, don’t need anyone |
'Cause I’m Rob, just came ot have fun |
Don’t need friends that act like foes |
'Cause I’m Rob Base, the one who knows |
About things that make ya get weary |
Don’t cheer me, just hear me Out 'cause I got the clout--shout (Ho!) |
Before I turn the party out |
I won’t stutter-- |
Project my voice, speak clearly |
So you can be my choice |
On stage or on record |
Go to the Wiz and select it Take it off the rack, if it’s wack put it back |
I like the Whopper, fuck the Big Mac |
If you want static, so let’s go So, throw upyour hands |
Go for what you know |
Bro', I got an ego |
Yo, talkin’to me? |
No Oh |
'Cause Rob is in the front, EZ Rock is on the Back up We’re not soft, soyou better just slack up |
'Cause I’m cool, calm just like a breeze |
Rock the mike with the help of EZ |
Rock on the set, the music plays |
Only cuts the records that I say |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
All right, now, EZ Rock |
now, when I count to three |
I want you ot get busy |
You ready now? |
One, two, three, get loose now! |
It takes two to make a thing go right |
It takes two to make it outta sight |
Hit it! |
