| On the strength I swore there’s no either/or
|
| MCs, we’re gonna have a mouth-to-mouth war
|
| Some rappers got soul on the mic, right? |
| (Right)
|
| But others be playin' it like they’re all that
|
| And you know what’ll happen if I don’t like your style of rappin'

| Spin drops a beat to warn my opponent
|
| Hurb pumps the bass upon the sound system
|
| We kick a rhyme and claim another victim
|
| People 'round the world, I like to play to 'em
|
| In every club, arena, and stadium
|
| Inside the jam we’re known as the party stars
|
| Gimme a mic, and the house is like Mardi Gras
|
| I couldn’t do it though without the help from
|
| The melody that we call the rhythm
|
| Yo, Pepa, are you ready to work it out, huh?
|
| Yeah, I been ready to work it out
|
| So let the rhythm run (what?), the rhythm run (who?)

|
| As the rhythm runs, sweat’s in full effect
|
| I see a crowd, I can’t help but get hyped
|
| You gotta be, throw it on and recite
|
| A dope rhyme 'cause I’m a lyrical queen
|
| The Pepa MC’s makin' microphones sing
|
| Notes to provoke, they called her a joke
|
| The speaker smoked when I spoke
|
| Boy, you better kill the noise
|
| Let the rhythm run (word), just let it run
|
| Let the drums run (yeah), now let 'em run
|
| Mess around and I’ll bet you don’t get none
|
| Is it over yet? |
| Never, it gets better
|
| We’ll let the rhythm run harder than ever
|
| A bassline is added for some soul
|
| Now the guitar will make ya rock 'n' roll
|
| My mic is like a gun, I go nowhere without it
|
| You gotta better one, I’m sorry but I doubt it
|
| My partner’s name is Pep, she’s not a half-stepper
|
| You think you’re kinda def, but I think that she’s deffer
|
| Since rappin' is art and I’m a dope artist
|
| If lyrics mean you’re smart, then I must be the smartest
|
| My DJ likes to spin, we call her Spinderella

|
| Salt’s kinda short, but she don’t ever take none
|
| A sucker try to dis, and she just have to break one
|
| Assume the position, commence the dance session
|
| Loosen up, listen, it’s not a dance lesson
|
| Seatbelts fastened, let’s have some fun
|
| Brace yourself, hold on, 'cause the rhythm’s gonna run
|
| Let the rhythm run, nah, the rhythm’s done
|
| Let the drums run, no, the drums are done |
