The Hop

Lyrics

Yeah, move your body, decide to party
 'Bout to bring it to you kid like we never ever did
 My nigga Al G in it, my nigga Shaheed in it
 We got the girl Kristine in it, got my man Big G in it
 Hey, yo, inside the ghetto or in a sunny meadow
 I'ma make you move whether woman or fellow
 Yo, I got the medals in the warfield of respect
 Like an ill porno make ya body get wet
 Just a ghetto child trying to live a straight and narrow
 Hoping that my shit will pierce your dome like an arrow
 I'm sure it will, especially if it's God's will
 MC's be ready to die cuz I'ma kill
 All you negative feelings standing on two feet
 While I make the hotties move to the hip-hop beat
 You know what's really killer, realer than you can imagine
 Using every source of pain in my range to make it happen
 If I make it happen, that means I'm making motion
 And I'm doing my thing causing an ill commotion
 Everybody do the hop, niggaz soothe like lotion
 I lay up in the piece or an incognotion
 You gotta do the hop then move to the beat, you don't stop
 Now everybody here, you do the hop
 You going up to cop, a town full of brick, don't stop
 You gotta come back and do the hop
 Yo, fuck the cop, you gotta come back and do the hop
 Move 'til your body won't stop
 You gotta do the hop, nonstop motion, nonstop
 You gotta come back and do the, do the
 You see you, your career is done like Johnny Carson's
 Get me vexed, I do like Left Eye, I'll start an arson
 Now that I got that out my system
 Watch me stab up the track as if my name was OJ Simpson
 I packs it in like Van Halen
 I work for mine, you, you're freeloading like Kato Kaelin
 I'm representing wit my crew
 Mess around, bite my rhymes, I beat that ass wit my shoes
 C'mon, you know I'm crazy nice (nice, nice)
 Brothers can't deal wit this shorty named Phife
 You must be mad in the head
 I bust his ass and leave 'em bloodclot for dead
 Nigga sound like Das EFX
 If it ain't Das EFX, then they sounding like Meth
 You might as well do Megadeth
 Yo, punk MC's better save your freaking breath
 You'se a corny muthafucka
 You must be high smoking dust wit Chris Tucker
 You f- asses don't want this
 I pull more beeps than the beep at the premier of Pocohantas
 Word is born, I am the baddest
 And all you honies out there, word is born, you know my status
 So come and pull your panties down
 This ain't no Barnum and Bailey show, I don't get down wit the clowns
 So why don't you and your friends, get wit me and my friends
 But don't bring your ass buying you ain't got no ends
 Word is born, it don't stop (stop, stop, stop)
 Just ease your mind, come along and do the hop
 ♪
 You gotta do the hop, you move to the beat, you don't stop
 Come on everybody, do the hop
 Even if you a cop, you gotta come back and do the hop
 You move to the beat, you don't stop
 You smoking jub rocks, you gotta just stop and do the hop
 Then you come back and do the hop
 You know we don't stop, we on the ghetto, rise on the top
 You know we come back and do the hop
 Shorties in the place, all the shorty rocks, do the hop
 You gotta come back and do the hop
 We never go on pop, you know we come back, we do the hop
 This is how it is, we do the hop
 You move to the beat, then come on everybody, don't st-
