Rock to the Rhythm

You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Ay-yo, wake up, wake up!
 It's a new day now
 Sidestep right, left, move when I break down
 How I get down, make 'em all sit down
 Either that or have them hurrying to skip town
 Feed your ears with the snares and the kicks, pow!
 Always chew it up, but have to watch where I bit down
 Try to navigate your way through this thick sound
 It's Big Oak, duck and cover when I spit rounds
 Catch me after the show, I breathe for a pit-stop
 Surrounded by chicks who don't listen to hip-hop
 But they do now, I'm sorta like a missionary
 Gettin' every word into every herd
 It may sound absurd but I don't ever
 Never not wanna feel this way that I feel so
 Catch the vibe and let down your guard
 And let's make it capsize, we rock it so hard
 You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Come, follow me as I work with the simple plan
 Cut out the top, and the bottom, plus the middleman
 It's kinda stressful trying to figure out this riddle, and
 Honey said I'm looking pale and need a little tan
 But that's because I've been behind closed doors
 Trying to make these songs for you, and not do wrong or you
 Might be inclined to jump on the next wagon
 That's filled with young bucks who still keep their pants sagging
 Yeah, I'm feeling old, but still play truth or dare
 Been doing this since MFU wanted more facial hair
 Yep, a seasoned vet in the game
 And on the microphone you got to give it to 'em, hey!
 I don't give a damn 'bout your man so I don't understand
 Why you try to shake hands like its cool
 'Cause see, for me and my band and the height that we stand
 We can see you must feel like a fool
 'Cause you can't bend the rules, you gotta break 'em in half
 Like I did to everything that tried clutter my path
 Fuck a flag, put an L on the maps
 It seems the world must have forgot how to laugh
 The smiles, the sighs, some police say "Hi"
 They frown, they cry, so I say goodbye
 Adiós, my man, I gotta fly
 Got my people waiting for me, gotta catch a red-eye
 You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Tell me what you got to say
 Unless it ain't nothing, in that case, you're fronting
 I tell you something, plus this and that, man
 And I'll even do an encore if the crowd demands
 I got a plan, you can bet that it deals
 With me and my life, and a whole lotta music
 So either love it or get used to it
 And put them hands up if we tell you to do it
 Number one, I ought to
 Two, I got to
 Three, make your head spin like helicopters
 But can't stick around long for your thoughts, huh?
 Don't have the patience, like a bad doctor
 But I'll prescribe one thing for your asses
 Put on your glasses and keep your ears waxless
 'Cause I want y'all to hear and witness
 The L-rocking crowds are ripping doors off the hinges
 You gotta rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more than the minimum
 Rock to the rhythm with 'em
 Got to give it to 'em
 Got to give a lot more (more)
