That's CPR

Be the beat, don’t just stand there!

Be the beat, don’t just stand there…… hey!

I was chillin’ in the park with my homies

When I said Mark yo pass that macaroni

Shootin’ hoops – I passed Felix the ball

When homeboy grabbed his chest, and proceeded to fall

We all looked around like, “What just happened?

Somebody here needs to take some action!”

Felix’s face was turning blue

Luckily this rapper knew exactly what to do

If a teen or adult suddenly collapses

Don’t just stand there, here’s how you react kid

Use CPR till help arrives

Follow these two steps to keep your friends alive!

[Chorus]

Be the beat

Don’t just stand there! (Call 911)

Push hard and fast (where?)

In the center of the chest (that’s CPR!)

Paging Dr. Heart, Dr. Hal-thy Heart? Emergency room

I was lampin’ in the backyard with my cronies

When I said Felix aren’t you glad you know me?

He said, “Yo, yeah you saved my life

I thanked you once Lars, and now I’m thanking you twice”

A lo-fat diet, Felix tried it, cardio daily, he’s applied it

Kicked the trans-fats, now he’s healthy bowls of fiber in his belly!

Then all of a sudden I saw this guy

Collapse by the swing-set, don’t ask why

Time to call 911, tried CPR till help arrived in a special car

Pumped the sternum, chest compression

Paid attention, no second guessin’

With CPR homies chill beaches not the morgue
