1999 (Keep Steppin')

[Intro]

1999

Come on (Keep-keep steppin')

Yeah, y'all, let's go (Keep steppin')

How many y'all ready to get this party on? (Keep steppin')

1999, and this is how we do it, look out (Keep, keep)

Yo...

[Chorus - Prince & Doug E. Fresh]

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin'

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

The time's too close, son, you better start checkin' it

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin' (Come on)

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon (You know what, y'all?)

The time's too close, son, you better start checkin' it (Yo, you know what?)

[Verse 1 - Doug E.]

I make it hot like a toaster, roll like a coaster

Family mourn ‘cause they wanna see the dawn

Set as they sweat, feenin' and drama

But not the kinda of drama to run 'n tell your mama

Armageddon, headin', mass destruction

Conjunction junction, what's your function?

The war's goin' on inside while you lunchin'

Computers replaced you - take a reduction

You made a mistake, boo, but take a deduction

Your money is worthless, you're hungry and nervous

You feel like I feel, that you don't deserve this

Inside you learn this, get super deep-a

Heaven is inside, and you're the gatekeeper

Hell is inside, and you're the Grim Reaper

Livin' costs more, dyin' cost cheaper

Whatever you do, son, don't be a sleeper

[Chorus]

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin'

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

The time's too close, son, you better start checkin'

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

The time’s too close, son, you better start checkin'

[Verse 2]

The truth, some people hear it, some people fear it

The truth, some people just won't go near it

As sure as I'm me, and the skies are blue

The truth is the key to unlock the true you

Ancient, old, worth more than gold

Cannot be bought, cannot be sold

Cannot be pushed, cannot be lifted

And I'm tellin' you, you got a whole lot to deal with

In this world of all diverse

Like you used to talk proper, but now you curse

The sun used to shine from day to day

Now the whole universe is filled with gray

No friends, children, family nor wife

And disrespect is the way of life

You wanna go, say no, don't need no airfare

Just open your eyes, and then you're there (Keep steppin')

And if you go, come right and exact

And remember, there's no way back (Keep steppin')

So close your eyes, live in hate and despise (Keep steppin')

All those girls and all those guys (Keep steppin')

Who told you you never had stars in your eyes

This is your destiny, rise, uh!

[Chorus]

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

The time's too close, son, you better start checkin'

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

The time’s too close, son, you better start checkin', uh!

[Bridge]

(Keep-keep)

'Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all

(Keep steppin')

'Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all

(Keep-keep keep steppin')

If you know the truth, then pass it on

If you know the truth, raise the roof

If you know the truth, pass it on

If you know the truth, raise the roof

If you know the truth, pass it on

If you know the truth, raise the roof

If you know the truth, pass it on

If you know the truth, raise the roof

Come on...

[Chorus]

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon ('Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all)

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’ (Come on) (Keep steppin')

(Keep, now)

(Uh)

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’ (Yeah) (Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')

('Luminati, y'all, move your body, y'all) (Come on)

Armageddon is headin', lethal rap weapon

1-9-9-9-9, people, keep steppin’

(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')

(Keep steppin')
