Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme

Lyrics

Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Pure rap music ain't made under pressure
 Expose a jewel, teach school at my leisure
 Fumble over words that rhyme with a verse divine
 I backtrack and think of the greatest of all-time
 Class is in session, master this lesson
 Teacher was a student, studied like a Buddhist
 Reviewin' on the best to do it
 So let's do this
 (Do it)
 Nothin' to it
 Considered the first emcee to blow the spot
 And do work, was Coke La Rock spittin' for Kool Herc
 Followin' the influence of Herculoid parties,
 Brothers like Cowboy made you move your body
 Cowboy would toast for the G.M. Flash
 And the skills elevated as crews started to clash
 Flash and Bam, they both sought clientele
 So Flash formed the Four with the father Melle Mel
 Four became Five, law became live
 Routines over breaks, true kings motivate
 Out the L brothers came the Five Fantastic
 With Theodore they battled with the Cold Crush Four
 Few had the confidence of G.M.C.
 Without the C.C.B.'s there'd be no Run-DMC
 The Funky and the Fearless Four, Force MC's, the suave Spoonie G
 And I can't forget the (Treacherous Three MC's)
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Come with sound, around and 'round
 Praise to the Kool Moe Dee, he elevated
 And changed it with records like The New Rap Language
 Before the first full length LP's
 There was abstract brothers like the one Rammelzee
 Run DMC broke through in '83
 Outta Queens, and started rapping hard over drum machines
 808's started shakin' up floors (It's yours)
 With T La Rock's complex metaphors
 (T-L-A-R-O-C-K)
 A primary influence on L.L. Cool J
 T La Rock's futurism must've been respectable
 'Cuz Tragedy from Queens was young but very technical
 Sham was eloquent, Chris was intelligent
 The 'R' was all of the above with added elements
 Slick Rick the Ruler was a screenplay producer
 Ultramagnetic had the vision for the future
 Big Daddy Kane getting raw at The Apollo
 And Kool G Rap was probably the sickest of all of 'em
 Jaz from the BK, Percee and Finesse from the BX
 Prince Po and Pharoah came next
 Wu with the G-Z-A, G-F-K
 N-A-S, one of the best out today
 Any MC that's addin' on to the list
 Pump your fist, but first give praise to the true scientists
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Fumbling over words that rhyme
 Come with sound, around and 'round
