(Some people out there givin' rap a bad name Well I'm here to let you know, we ain't down with that)
Rap music, the sound of the times Ya sorta talk lyrics to rhythm and rhyme And then deliver in various ways You know, some sorta preach, and some sorta play Nevertheless, there's a common ground (word!) Ya know the def hip hop sound Hyped up bass with a tiny snare The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare But still
[interlude] I luv rap music I always have, and I always will
Now rap started as the voice of the street A sorta politics to a ghetto beat Then rappers started braggin' all about their gold And the girlies, and the beepers And the big, black Olds-mobile In '83, the beatbox hit Makin' funky drum sounds from out ya lips But takin' on nu forms, rap has moved from the block Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock Ya know
[chorus] I luv rap music I always have, and I always will There ain't no other kinda music in all the world That makes me feel quite as chill I luv rap music Ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list So if ya wanna hang with me, ya better believe We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix
Concert time in my part of the town Ya know, I brought my mom cause I knew she was down She was flat groovin', but couldn't understand How they makin' music when there ain't no band And then she cried, "James," everybody stared She heard a James Brown sample and thought he was there She got home, shook her head and said, "Kids these years" But then again, we think the Beatles were weird
I luv rap music I luv rap music
[repeat chorus]
Today some rappers boast, some are makin' me ill And those obscene lyrics are overkill But I started M.C.in' way back in the day And since then there's been a serious change Ya know, I asked Christ to come into my heart And He gave me a brand new start And on top a dat, He cold gave me my dreams Doin' hip hop music with a Christian theme Ya know
[repeat chorus]
