When all is ready I throw this switch; Pump up the volvme,pump up the volume, pump that beat. Please, Sir, would you please mind saying that again? You make me feel so good! We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special news bulletin From our on the spot task force: Oh, my gosh, the music just turns me on, he's a sweet soul brother! Thinking of a master plan, dance with the record, dance with the record, Thinking of a master plan, dance with the record, dance with the record, Thinking of a master plan, this ain't nothing but sweat inside my hands. So I dig into my pocket, but all my money's spent, So I can leave while I'm coming up the place. So I start my mission, leave my residence, Thinkin' how can I get some dead presidents, I need money! I used to be o stick-up kid, so I think about all the devious things I did. I used to roll up, roll up, roll up, I used to roll up, roll up, roll up, I used to roll up, this is a hold up. Ain't nothin' funny, stop smilin', you still don't nothin' move but the money, But now I've learned to earn, 'cause I'm righteous. I feel great, so maybe I might just search tor a 9 to 5, If I strive, then maybe I'll stay alive. So I'll walk up the street, whistling this, feelin' out of place, 'Cause man, do I miss a pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape, or Me and Eric B. and a nice bia plate of fish, which is my favourite dish. But without no money it's still a whish, 'Cause I don't like to dream about gettin' paid. So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made, Tonight is the test to see if I got pull, hit the studio, 'Cause I'm paid in full. 1, 2, 3, ah, 1, 2, 3, ah. Pump up the volume, pump up the volume, pump that beat. Check this out, yo, you go to your girl's house and I'll go to mine, 'Cause my girl is definately mad, 'Cause it took us too long to do this album. Yeah, I hear what you're saying, so let's just pump the music up And count our money, so, we'll just check this out, yo, Eli, Turn the bass down and iust let the beat keep on rockin' - And we're out outta here. Pump up the volume, pump up the volume, Wait a minute, you better talk to my mother! Ok, ok, alright, alright, ok, ok, alright, alright, Yo, what happened to peace, what happened to peace, peacez 1, 2, 3, 4, dance with the record, dance with the record. It's so fresh! Good night, kids! Was it good enough for you?
