Hip Hop Hooray (Pete Rock remix)

Give it up for Naughty By Nature

[Rakim sample]

Feed me Hip-hop and I start tremblin'

Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

You drew a picture of my morning

But you couldn't make my day (hey!)

I'm rocking and you're yawning

But you never look my way (hey!)

I'm licking down you darling

In every single way (hey!)

Your funny flow is foreign and a green card's on the way

This ain't got shit to do with shampoo

But watch your Head 'n Shoulders

Brother older bold enough to fold ya

Yo, I told ya

A raid afraid of what I made

And played em plus a funky fit

So save ya flips and tricks

Put that music in the monkey bit

Triggas from the Grill town Ill town

Some ask how it feels now

The deal is that we're real so we're still 'round

Don't lamp with a freestyle phantom

Ain't tryin' to be handsome

Shrinkin' what ya thinkin' cause I'm vampin'

I live and die for Hip Hop

This is Hip Hop of today

I give props to Hip Hop

So Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

You heard a lot about a brother gainin' mo' ground

Being lowdown

I do the showdown with any little ho' 'round (NO!)

I wanna know who you're believing

Through your funny reasons

Even when I'm sleepin' you think I'm cheating

You said I know you're mister O.P.P man

You P.P man

Won't only see me man

You should've know that I ain't hitting the step

That I was with it a bit

Not to consider the rep (Heck!)

I did your partner cause she's hot as a baker

Cause I'm Naughty By Nature

Not cause I hate ya

You put your heart in a part of a part that spreads apart

And forgot that I forgave when you had a spark

You try to act like something really big is missing

Even though my name's graffiti written on your kitten

I love black women always and disrespect ain't the way

Let's start a family today

Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

Hip Hop, Hip, Hip Hop, Hip, Hip Hop Hooray

There's many hungry Hip Hoppers

One reason Hip Hop's the top today

Swerve what you heard

Cause I ain't baling no hay

Ain't chopping no crop

But still growing every day

Here's a thunder sound from the wonders found

From the underground town down the hill

Feel how Ill town

Drown smiles to frowns

Snatchin' crowns from clowns

Beat downs are found

Don't know me! Don't come around!

Tippy tippy pause

Tippy tippy pause

Some start creepin' up, I eat 'em up

Their styles are older than Lou Rawls

Peace to this one and that one and them

That's the way I shout out and I didn't miss one friend

Fools get foolish neither them or Parker Lewis knew us

You could have crews with shoes and can't step to us

Some kitty's purr

Now call me sir too

Lookin' for her crew

Any trick that diss gets a curfew

I put on projects for boots

Step through troops and leave proof

My problem solver name is Mook

I'm hittin' woodies in a hoody

Peace to Jesette, Jobete, Jo-Jo, Jenae and every hood Gee

That's right, my fight is ill

Peace goes to L.O.N.S & Quest, Nice & Smooth and Cypress Hill

I live and die for Hip Hop

This is Hip Hop of today

I give props to Hip Hop

So Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

Hip Hop Hooray, ho-hey-ho-hey-ho-hey-ho

Smooth it out now
