Hip Hop Rules -Boogie Down Productions
Come again down man
This is krs-one on to wreck ruff ruff ruff stuff
So were gonna do it like this now
Put up your hands if you love hip-hop music like I do seen
And we gonna do it like this now
Listen to the lyrics bo
Me say hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it come again
Hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it we want
Rap music we want the rap music bo
Rap music we want the rap music come again
Rap music we want the rap music bo
Rap music we want the rap music
Way back in the days 1979
Fatback band made a record usin rhyme
In the same year come the sugarhill gang
With the pow pow boogie and the big bang bang
R&b disco pop country jazz
All thought hip-hop was just a little fad
But here comes grandmaster flash nonstop
And right after flash run-d m c dropped
Now they had to pay attention to the scale
Where other music failed hip-hop prevailed
See rap music has gone platinum from the start
So now in eighty-nine we gettin present as an art
Me ask is it because weve got the eighty-nine vision
Whoa whoa whoa
Or is it because its a unanimous decision
Hey hey hey hey
That hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it come again
Hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it we want
Rap music we want the rap music bo
Rap music we want the rap music come again
Rap music we want the rap music come down
Rap music we want the rap music
I pick up the mic and put down crazy lyrics

You want to sound like me bwoy you cant come near it
Cause when I flash a new style the people dem a cheer it
You get so jealous til you just cant bear it
Jealous of ms melodie me and derek

You want to battle me you got to wake up in the morning
Cause if youre still sleepin then ima start yawnin
Because ah hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it come again
Hip-hop rule hip-hop rule
And these other industries out here cannot take it we want
Rap music we want the rap music bo
Rap music we want the rap music come again
Rap music we want the rap music come down
Rap music we want the rap music
