[Hook: Lauryn Hill]
Uh-uh-oh
I'm coolin' with my niggas on the Wake Up Show-oh-oh
We kick a little somethin' for the radi-uh-uh-oh
I'm coolin' with my niggas on the Wake Up Show-oh-oh
We kick a little somethin' for the radi-uh-uh-oh
[Verse 1: Nas]
Check it, bust it
Tune it up, it's the corrupt novelist — Nas, involved in this
Liveness, radio waves, slaves thrive inside of this
Wake Up Show flow, hip-hop's alarm clock, the bomb spot
Mellow with ganja that makes my eyes turn yellow
Seat reclined on my leather sofa, however close to 9 P.M.
Joe Quixx, King Tech, I could just see 'em
On the one and two, son, my blunted crew pour the rum
92.3 — number one in the slum
Representin' DJ's, Sway's the host, he parlays the most
What a collaboration, see, I'm comatose
No pork, just knowledge and I'm born once more
It's the beat that blesses the street, deep in the '94
[Verse 2: Pharoahe Monch]
Hip-hop's last prophet henceforth in existence
The 92.3 megahertz will exert radio waves
That slays from a phenomenal distance
Electrons appear to slice through Jeeps that you can hear some
Slum literature, consider it will numb your eardrum, kid
You're sleepin' like a Latter Day Saint
But Sway & King Tech'll wake you up on Saturday
9-to-12 verbal junkies overdose and
Joe Quixx'll get you fixed to the mix and then I'm ghost when
[Verse 3: Prince Poetry]
Uh! In your sleep, I slap you with the lethal doses of medicine
So Wake Up with Organized and the brethren
King Tech, Joe Quixx better than your last fix
Severin' wackness with Sway the host, dose a phat mix
Baby doll's frontin', so Saturday night's open
Hoppin' on the 101, time scopin'
92.3 degrees, chokin' on chocolate, FM dial smokin'
Prince Po' blows up from LA to Hoboken, and I'm out
[Verse 4: Ras Kass]
Yo, it's the Wake Up Show!
My genetic make-up take up 130 pounds of beef
But lyrics shake up like January 17th
Crossovers extinct, MCs is fossils
Protect Ya Neck and wear a bulletproof vest on your tonsils
Amateurs bandage your cornea
'Cause you don't wanna see California
C-arson and spittin' arsenic
With Sway, Tech and Joe Quixx on the mix
Spinal meningitis ain't as stiff as the riff of Ras Kass
Styles lash like racist crackers with whips
Come equipped, you're losin' your paraphernalia
I'm a hip-hop apostle singin' the gospel like Mahalia Jackson
Each Saturday, 9 until the break of dawn
Put cocaine on my tongue, you got crack, now rock on...
[Hook: Lauryn Hill]
Uh-uh-oh
I'm coolin' with my niggas on the Wake up Show-oh-oh
We kick a little somethin' for the radi-uh-uh-oh
I'm coolin' with my niggas on the Wake up Show-oh-oh
We kick a little somethin' for the radi-uh-uh-oh
[Verse 5: Dred Scott]
Saturday night! Get live, set it off right
Swing with my peeps — King Tech, yo, pass the mic
And turn her up 'til you hear the speaker blow
Dred Scott, it's 9 o'clock, time for the Wake Up Show
To the break of... you think I'mma say dawn
But I say day 'cause it rhymes with Sway, my word is bond
I'm on the scene, plottin' out the mainstream, doin' it right
With Joe Quixx on the mix, late in the night
So tune in 'cause the crew don't sleep
Boomin' in ya Jeep on 92.3
[Verse 6: Shyheim]
It's 9 o'clock P.M., 92.3 The Beat begins
To rock hip-hop non-stop
You know who got the props
In L.A. on Saturdays, Tech and Sway no doubt!
[Verse 7: Chino XL]
Set yo' clocks for the unorthodox hip-hop that drops 9-to-midnight
King Tech and Sway — yo, those kids is tight!
In the mix with Joe Quixx, the verb spits verses
With the purpose of droppin' curses like a triple-six
Phat snares and dirty kicks to get ya open
From Watts to Oakland, it's that raw ish that's thought provokin'
Spoken words precise like a laser
Crossroads and the Wake Up Show
Will get your party shakin' like a pager on silent mode, yeah
9-to-12, Saturday nights, fool! Peep the episode
[Verse 8: Saafir]
Wake Up Show, and you can tell
I'm not spittin' it in no muffled style
No silent screams, just weddings rings
To swings and Sway Techs King, Tech-
-nique and ability and a little agility from Joe Quixx
Hey, Jay-Z and me eyes is seen
But only on the bottom of water risin', we're takin' roots
Put it on 92.3 while you're beatin' boots, oops
I meant coupes bumpin' into missions on a twamp
Swoop Saturday between 9 and 12, I'm delvin'
Where we'll then tune in to the phantom of the year
Here on 92.3 times me
Hobo Junction wreaks of odors that only soldiers
Are connected to Wake Up... Show Ya right
[Hook: Lauryn Hill]
