Rock With Me

[Intro]

Uh-huh, uh, east coast (Yeah)

Uh, uh, uh-uh, uh-uh , west coast (Uh-huh, uhh)

Down in the dirty (Where?)

Dirty-dirty (Aha-ha), c'mon

[Chorus]

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I put it down it makes you wanna

Rock with me all night long

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I rep the A-town, it makes ya

Rock with me all night long (Tell 'em)

[Verse 1]

Well, it started off on the avenue

When I came up with the name called the So Def Crew (So So Def)

It was me, my big homie Eddie

Up late making tapes, putting them out on the streets

I used to rap, scratch, even try to sing (Uh-oh)

Now I'm the little cat pumping out the steam

I used to play with it, now I stay with it

Lay with it, and, huh, keep pumping out hits (They know)

'Cause can't nobody do it like we does (Haha)

This side, that side I gets nothing but love

And I keep it pumping up in the clubs (Yeah)

Big with all the pimps, the hustlers, ladies and thugs

That respect that knock (Knock), when they hear that knock (Knock)

Y'all niggas think I'm gon' stop? Please

Y'all won't see me on behind the scenes

But you can catch me at a money machine (Haha), ching-ching (C'mon)

[Chorus]

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I put it down it makes you wanna

Rock with me all night long (Uh, uh-uh, c'mon)

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I rep the A-town, it makes ya

Rock with me all night long (Uh-huh, uh, haha)

[Verse 2]

Kris Kross was the beginning of the linen and cars

Houses, hidden clubs, shutting down the bars (Oh, yeah)

I was only nineteen doing big, big things

In the CP living the American dream

Then I signed Xscape, first album one-point-eight (Million)

New company, my shit looked great, but, uh (Haha)

Me being the player that I am, I couldn't stop

I just had to find me something else to take to the top (Come on)

Something fly that'll catch your eye

That's when I bumped into my little sister from the west side of Chi

Demo after demo we made

Got so funkdafied, now we paid (Y'all know it)

Rap or R&B, we ain't playing

We demand y'all respect this afro man (For sure)

As the game gets bigger and my dough gets longer

And me and my crew get stronger, the more you wanna

[Chorus]

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I put it down it makes you wanna

Rock with me all night long (Come on)

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I rep the A-town, it makes ya (Uh-huh, uh)

Rock with me all night long (Haha, yo)

[Verse 3]

In every flight there's turbulence and I had some

But I remained focused and kept dropping the bomb

"What should I do next?" That was going through my head

Then Kandi introduced me to a Jagged Edge (Oh my)

Three homies from the Dec, one from right around the corner

We went in, came out, now everybody on 'em

Three albums later (What?), everybody on 'em (Uh-uh)

Ain't a city you can go where the girls don't want 'em (Nah)

Once again I was thinking, "What's next for me?"

Then I got a big call from my homie Steve

He said "Hey, let throw something your way"

It was none other than my brother they compare to MJ (Uh-huh)

Girls can't stop screaming, three mill' now (Uh)

Everybody love him and his name is Bow Wow

As the game gets bigger and my dough gets longer

And me and my crew get stronger, the more you wanna

[Chorus]

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so (Uh)

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD, how I put it down it makes you wanna

Rock with me all night long

Rock with me, put ya hands up in the air so

I can see that you feel it and never could get e—

'Nough of JD (Nah), how I rep the A-town, it makes ya (Yo)

Rock with me all night long

[Outro]

See, haha, I've been doing what I'm doing for like ten years, man

Putting out fire, man

You might remember Silk Tymes Leather, Monica, haha

Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey

Janet Jackson, TLC, Usher, MC Lyte

Man, you name it, man, I got the hits, playboy, haha

Dru Hill, Da Brat, Xscape, Jagged Edge, aha

Kris Kross, Destiny's Child and my little homeboy Bow Wow

Listen, man, I ain't even gotta say no more

But I just wanna let y'all know
