(performed by vanilla ice featuring naomi campbell)
chorus
gotta hold on to this feelin´
gotta let you body move
gotta keep the music jumpin´
everybody get loose
repeat
face the music, then i´m right behind
with a posse, a mic and a funky rhyme
it doesn´t take a lot of time for me to climb
and whem i´m going for mine, i´m like a monkey on a vine
goin´ up the scale and i will prevail
sharper than the point on the tip of a nail
movin´ with the speed of a thief on the run
my mic is my gun and my posse´s the one
ready for fun, but also for static
anything breaks and they´re ready automatic
i´ve had it with suckers who try to get paid -
sayin´ they´re teaching, but not makin´
the grade - they´re played.
i´m the teacher, man, you´re the student
close your ears if you feel you´re prudent
and can´t deal with the lyrics i´m steppin´ with
but they´re the lines the people are gettin´ with
a lesson well taught, here´s some more advice
i don´t sweat it on the mic
´cause i´m cool as ice
chorus repeat 2x´s
roll into town with no windows down
i´m on my bike and i´m headed for a mic
battles defuse with the news of my arrival
instincts are primal, i´m all about survival
proceed with caution, i´m like a blaze
that´s roared for days
all that gaze are amazed
dazed by the force that they just witnessed
master, is the title to fit this
man before ya, lyrical lawyer
suin´ all the suckers on the mic that bore ya
slick, i´ll trick like a magician
on the microphone, i´m like a rap technician
turn the party out in my opinion
witty words make the world my dominion
figure out a riddle in rhyme, you can´t stump me
i get off if a beat is funky
i´m not sleepy, dopey or grumpy
but you´ll be fallin´, just like humpty did
and that´s all she wrote
then i disappear in a puff of smoke
i´m like a surgeon and i´m urgin´
stay away or i´ll slice
i don´t sweat it under pressure
´cause i´m cool as ice
chorus reapeat 2x´s
rise and shine, girls up & at ´em
see a microphone on the stage and i´m grabbin´
you act like eve and i´ll act like adam
tangle with a snake, make sure that you pat him
keep him calm for sure or he´ll strike back
shake your booty girl, yeah i like that
keep your moves silky smooth, hot and sexy
it won´t vex me, i won´t get testy.
and when you rush the stage
bein´ all kinds of frantic, you know
i won´t panic, i´ll just get romantic
ten and twenty, you come by the droves
don´t be scared to take off your clothes
if you´re really short, get on your tippy toes
and remember, anything goes
´cause i´m all about fun on the run
i´ll just take each girl one by one
i´n not the type to be tied up or tied down
there´s enough of me to go around
girlies on my tip like white on rice
i don´t sweat it on the mic
´cause i´m cool as ice
chorus reapeat 2x´s
add libs
chorus reapeat 2x´s
