The Truth

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Rap is a way of life
That's why we do what we like
Born to rock the mic
[?]
Don't say nothing

[Scorpio]
Yo, yo, i am the man called Scorpio
The one that's seen, but never heard
But all my sons are just running their mouth
So, it's time for Dana to speak his words
You see, the biggest problem about other MC's
Is i look good, while they are [?]
[?] get together, say i'm not cool
Their girs are out being my fools
I'm the first attractive [?] male
To walk around town with beads in his hair
Being stopped on the street by the people i meet
Saying "Where you get your beads, 'cause you look so sweet"
Hey, for all the fellas that think i'm gay
I pull five girls right in your face
I'm not saying that i'm the playboy king
'Cause i didn't make it up but i made it [?]
I spend more on spice than i do on clothes
So [?] if they got gusto
[?]
To start hoping and praying for the next show
But a brother like me, cold rocking on tape
And much smarter than that in my own way
And you know what i'm saying is a natural fact
With my Mercedes outside [?]

[Cowboy]
Hey, check me out while i roll my game
There's not another MC can make me feel shame
My name is Cowboy, i'm not giving no slack
I'm like 4-5-6, better known as headcrack
I've been rocking at parties eight years of my life
Got shot with a gun and stabbed with a knife
Had to pay my dues, had to learn the rules
[?] from all the fools
People jump behind my back and never to my face
Want to make a clear path when i step in the place
I can make them clap their hands and stomp their feet
Make 'em party to the rhythm seven days a week
Make 'em shiver and shake, just like a earthquake
I can make people dance, without a mistake
I can cruise around the world, all accross the nation
Get a big kick out of your participation
Make 'm hip to the hop and all that stuff
'Cause to other MC's, you know i'm just too much
My eyes are brown, my ladies are bold
I can tell a MC right where to go
I can get a young lady with a wave of my hand
I can stretch out law, like a rubber band
Saying one for the treble and two for the bass
[?]

[King Lou]
K is for Kool, running through my veins
[?] i show no shame
Intelligence is next, and that stands for I
Is something you inherit and you annot buy
N is for [?] shine
Slaying other MC's with vicious [?] rhymes
And G is for great to describe this man
My name is King Lou, i got the master plan
For the chosen path [?]
There's a certain reputation i got to maintain
I got to, write the rhymes and say them well
And if i don't do that, i know i've failed
But a few things i use to get me over
They all fit together like a four-leaf clover
First [?] originality
[?] as can be
Second, [?]
You got to make the crowd yell, cause a major earthquake
Make 'em stop on he floor and scream for more
From the very first minute that you walk in the door
Move along to the end of the line
You gotta get a fly girl [?]
Have 'em come to your show with nice [?] clothes
Looking sharp as a thorn on the stem of the rose

[Melle Mel]
Melle Mel is pumping, super high-powered
To make other MC's feel devoured
To all the MC's, the birds and the bees
But they still can't get your young lady
I'm the legend in leather, the lord of the rhyme
If you can't see that, you must be blind
I always wear black and i always will
'Cause i'm dressing for your funeral
Heads gonna roll and rappers gonna die
And whoever want to battle, i'mma give 'em a try
It ain't no pressure, you know i'm fresher
'Cause i was born to never be lesser
It's more than the record and the show to me
'Cause i came here to [?]
From around the way, back in the days
We got beat so you can get paid
[?]
Now you don't have to work, murder, steal or rob
You got a little bit of fame and wealth
Now you think that you did all by yourself
I am you, but you ain't me
Beause you didn't start rocking 'til '83
Melle Mel is the best that will ever exist
[?]

We're born, born, born, born
To rock you, girl
We're born, born, born, born
To rock the world
