Crash Crew
Throw down

Hey, up, up and away



[Hook]

We came here tonight to throw down

To spread the word all around town

So young ladies don't front on me now

You know that you want to get down

The music that you hear is a treat

So get your butt up out of your seat

The rap will have you stomping your feet

To the sounds of the funky breaking bells beat



Rock the bells, rock the bells

Crash is in the house



[Reggie Reg]

So when you're boogieing down and the place is packed

Said the girls are fly, the music's not wack

You feel the bass and the mid range too

The group that's rockin' is called the Crash Crew

We make you want to move and make your head swirl

While the force of the 5 help you grab a girl

So get a high that's better than Cheeba

Then try to catch the Reggie Reg fever



[Barry B-Stro]

I'm capable of the wonderful

I can move the world with a push or a pull

I can do anything that's asked of me

Climb a mountain, play hockey or water ski

I turn coal into diamonds and process gold

My talents never slow they only grow

And when I go to a show I sit in the 1st row

I'm Barry B-Stro (He's not an average Joe)



[EK Mike C]

In my mind I built a rhyme that's as tall as a tower

Take out any other lyrics with the strength of this power

So if you want to want to battle

You'll have to bring your saddle

I will run you over like a herd of cattle

Show your face no more I will run you through the door

Run a rhyme down by law, make your head swell even sore [?]

EK Mike C's advice and you better sit nice

Ain't an emcee in the world would ever wanna pay the price



[G-Man]

Well I'm the mellow G-Man, the rapper cowhand

Quick draw emcee from the Rio Grande

Born on the plains and raised on the prairie

That where I learned to rap and fire rap real steady

My horse I straddle, ride as I saddle

When I come through the town emcees skedaddle

Okie Doke, cowpoke, if you think it's a joke

I'll cut you down in my gun smoke



[La Shu
Bee]

What's up, party people, and how have you been

Well I'm MC Shu
Bee and I'm back again

I'm the boogie woogie king just doing my thing

And when I rock a fly rhyme, you'll see what I mean

I make you hum along (Hum along!)

Sing a song (Sing a song!)

Make you brag to your friends that I am on

I'm like orange gin [?] I'm a hundred proof

And when I meet a fine girl I'll never cut her loose

I'm like Tropicana, now you know the truth

And I'm the only emcee with all of the juice



[Hook]

We came here tonight to throw down

To spread the word all around town

So young ladies don't front on me now

We know that you want to get down

The music that you hear is a treat

So get your butt up out of your seat

The rap will have you stomping your feet

To the sounds of the funky breaking bells beat



Rock the bells, rock the bells!

It's like poetry on the wheels of steel

The way Darryl C. cuts, the way I deal

You got to keep the beat rockin' right on time

While the force of the 5 rocks the def rhymes



[Reggie Reg]

The news is posted, the word has spread

That MC Reggie Reg is coming out ahead

So ladies, I advise that you close your eyes

Because what you see just might hypnotize

And words will be said that make you lose your head

When you finally wake up you'll be in your bed

Say you had a dream or a nightmare scene

Of a light skinned brother on the mix machine

Who kept rocking the house without a mistake

And the emcees he had were like icing on cake

So let your body lose control

It's number one, the show, the popularity poll

(We came here tonight to throw down)



[Barry B-Stro]

I'm Barry B-Stro, what's up fly girls

Would you like to take a trip around the world

So don't be afraid, all expenses paid, so

Bring champagne I don't like Kool-Aid

(He's got a private jet) and everything is set

So buckle your seat belt cause your match is met

And when we land I'll spend ten grand

So don't be embarrassed cause I'm your man

Your lips are moist you're my draft choice

To top it off you have a golden voice

So girls of the world if you're slow you blow it

See you got to move fast with me, B-Stro

(Spread the word all around town)



[EK Mike C]

Let the deejays cut and let the emcees rap

If they really sound good then let your fingers snap

Cause if rap is on your mind and you really want to do it

You can bet your bottom dollar there ain't really nothing to it

EK Mike C steps to success

Put your fingers to a pen and you'll be the best

You got to pick an idea with a positive view

Put some meaning to your work and comprehend what you do

And now you know I'm right, I'm not singing a song and

I can never boy ever be wrong, that's right!

(So young ladies don't front on me now)



[G-Man]

Ladies my message to you is this

Get up on this and then you do the twist

I'm ranked number one lover in the book of lists

Like a peppermint stick you can't resist, so

Bon Appétit my love is sweet

So damn sweet you'll wanna eat

Like chocolate candy your favorite treat

Come on young ladies, let's tumble in the sheets

Just lay on your back and let's get it on

The mellow G-Man won't do you wrong

Cause my love is long and my back is strong

You're wanted through the night until the next morn'

(We know that you want to get down)



[La Shu
Bee]

Well I'm MC Shu
Bee and I'm on the case and

I'm the coolest emcee that's in the place

I'm like Al Capone on the microphone

All the ladies in the world they won't leave me alone

I'm like Bonnie And Clyde, the brother takes no jive

Darryl C. will cut the beat to make you come alive

Like Little Bo Peep who lost her sheep

There's not another deejay that can compete

Like Jesse James I've got a lot of fame

All the people in the country just screaming my name

I'm like an apple to a cherry, a cherry to a peach, and

You never met another emcee so sweet



[Hook]

Shout it out, and let the dogs out

Come on, bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!

We came here tonight to throw down

To spread the word all around town

So young ladies don't front on me now

We know that you want to get down

The music that you hear is a treat

So get your butt up out of your seat

The rap will have you stomping your feet

To the sounds of the funky breaking bells beat
