Lyrics

[Refrain]
Just clap your hands to the beat (Check it out)
Just clap your hands to the beat (Check it out)
Just clap your hands to the beat, to the beat
[Verse 1]
Here you go, y'all, little, little by little, you know
We got the power, the knowledge to move 'em and still rock
A super song for the cause, so
Feel the load on your brain for the episode
And we just begun, it's number one, y'all
Brother Black, the B is back, so check this out
[Refrain]
Just clap your hands to the beat (Check it out)
Just clap your hands to the beat (Check it out)
Just clap your hands to the beat (Check it out)
Just clap your hands to the beat, to the beat
[Verse 2]
If ya don't, I won't, if ya still, I will
"Take three jams and hold 'em," this what I told 'em
Rock the other side, the sucker lied
Said he would shock but never tried, and so I
Took 'em away, I never stayed, y'all
I called Flavor, boy, to make another record to get played
Flav made a jam to get you slammed
Back-to-back in the place where the suckers are basin'
[Verse 3]
Whatever it takes to make it hardcore
We gonna roll it raw, that's what you buy it for, come on
You roll in your ride, the DJ decides
To play it on the radio, the A side
He gives it a try, but never really gives it a try
The people request the best, on the B side
[Chorus]
Ya don't, ya don't, ya won't, ya won't
You don't quit, you don't ever quit
And this is it, y'all
Keep it on, and on, and on, come on
Check it out
[Verse 4]
Food for the brain, beats for the feet
People on the dance floor, never claimin' a receipt
Had a good time rockin'-rollin' on the go-rhyme
The rhythm supplied by the superior B side
They had to twist, and turn, and shout
Turn the jam out, and get ya ready now, c'mon
[Verse 5]
The situation put you in
To where you're sweatin' in hysterical B side, c'mon inisde
I quest the best to give a test
And never give it a rest, your guess is good as my guess
And while you're guessin', you're guessin', yo, listen, this is
A DJ to play, to give a lesson and his
Name is, rock and roll, c'mon now
[Verse 6]
And the suckers on the right get cynical
'Cause the record's to the left and political
And you search the stores
Attack the rack with your claws
For the rebels without a pause
[Chorus]
You don't, you don't, and you won't, you won't
You don't stop
Keep it going, y'all, and spin around, y'all
Get down, y'all, and go on, and on
[Verse 7]
'Cause the B side wins again and again, again
Yo, Black, some of you are all in
To make sure the crowd get loud with it on the dancefloor
'Cause the B side is pure, sure
I never knew the crowd was this hype
But you thought we was that type
To start a riot, we ain't quiet
Kickin' a thunderstorm with a song
Why would we dare you to come along?
[Verse 8]
Pump the music, pump the sound
Once again, we gonna do it like this now
You know it's time for my man on a mission
So listen, 'cause he's in the house
[Chorus]
You don't stop, get ready with it
You don't quit, if you don't, I won't
I will, uh, come on, y'all
Kick it down, y'all, yeah, kick it down, y'all
Come, come down and get ready, y'all
Go on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
Don't stop, and do it, come on, y'all
