It's times like this when I just can't stop
Can't wind your body without the body rock
Got schemes, schematics, blue prints on file
You gotta have dreams to make it all worthwhile
So as I take my time and realign
I wonder what it is I hope to find
I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast
But I'm intercontinental when I eat french toast
Ad-Rock with the New Edition
Gettin' on down for the year 2000
A slight distraction can get you paid
And when it comes to that type shit
I paved the way
B-boys to the early morn'
B-girls be rockin' on and on
B-girls to the break of dawn
B-boys be rockin' on and on
Dogs love me 'cause I'm crazy sniffable
I bet you never knew, I got the ill peripheral
In your home, I'm cloned, I'm on your headphones
I love it when you spazz out all alone
'Cause I'm that fool that broke the key
I'm unlockable so don't check me
I got weight on my shoulders and things on my mind
The sky is falling and I'm falling behind
So I synthesize sounds as I patch my brain
Insane mind games move quick like flames
So now I wonder how sometimes you never know
Who be rockin' y'all in stere-ereo
In stere-ereo, in stere-ereo
In stereo
A-no time like the present to work shit out
That's what we goin' on and on and on about
I'm not fakin', just makin' beats in the dungeon
We keep that shit funky 'cause the odor is pungent
No shame in my game, just par for the path
I try to hone my craft because at hands the task
But I find I'm not playin' with a full deck
I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec
All I wanna know is when is checkout time
So I could be in heaven with the rhythm rock rhyme
And when I'm with my man, Shadi Rock, at the gates
We'll be rockin' rhythms over disco breaks
B-boys to the early morn'
B-girls be rockin' on and on
B-girls to the break of dawn
B-boys be rockin' on and on
On and on, on and on
On and on, on and on
On and on, on and on
Hubo una vez un gran rey
Que tenía muchas tierras
Un castillo y también un amor
Hubo una vez un gran rey
Que tenía muchas tierras
Un castillo y también un amor
Hubo una vez un gran rey
Que tenía muchas tierras
Un castillo y también un amor
Hubo una vez un gran rey
Que tenía muchas tierras
Un castillo y también un amor
Hubo una vez un gran rey
Que tenía muchas tierras
Un castillo y también un amor
Hoy el rey
Hoy el rey
(Brace yourself, fool)
