Let Me Clear My Throat (Live)

At the count of three

I want everybody in the place to be

To make some noise if you down with me

One, two, three

Hit me with the horns, Tony

Keep makin' noise, keep makin' noise, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Here we go now, here we go now, here we go now

Here we go now, here we go now

Here we go now, here we go now, here we go now

Here we go now, here we go now

Here we go, here we go, now listen

Some of y'all might know this, and some of y'all don't, jam!

Some of y'all might get with this, and some of y'all won't

But listen, let me clear my throat

Oh, have mercy, babe, ha!

I hope ya don't mind, let me clear my throat

Special dedication going out to everybody here in Bahama Bay

In Philadelphia

Here we go now, check it out, ah-huh, ah-huh, ah (Goddamn)

Yeah, rock to the rhythm of the funky rhyme

So I can get busy just one more time

To the beat, and ya don't quit

It's that ol' skool rap with that new skool hit

Peter Piper picked a pepper, but Kool rocked the rhyme

And I can still rip up the house

Every goddamn time I get on the mic, I go crazy

Peace out to Celo, Flex, and Doug Lazy

I bet ya never knew, but now ya know

I'm the undisputed king of this disco

And I never let the mic magnetize me no more

'Cause DJ Kool rip up the whole damn floor

Now I'ma rap a rhyme with the greatest of ease

And swing it like the man on the flying trapeze

And if you don't like it, you grab on these

And now I need some help from the maestro, please

Jam, ha! So look it here, check the flavor of the rhythm I wrote

And while I got a chance here, let me clear my throat

Oh, have mercy, babe, ha!

I hope ya don't mind, let me clear my throat

I need these monitors right here

Music in the monitors

And it goes a little something like this here

Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah

Now if y'all wanna party like we do

If y'all wanna party like us, lemme hear ya say

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

If y'all wanna party like we do

If y'all wanna party like us, lemme hear ya say

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah

Now when I say, "Uh," you say, "Ah"

Uh, uh (Ah, ah)

And now when I say, "Hey," you say, "Ha"

Hey, hey (Ha, ha)

Now when I say, "Uh," you say, "Ah"

Uh, uh (Ah, ah)

Now when I say, "Hey," you say, "Ha"

Hey (Ha)

Now when I say freeze, you just freeze one time

When I say freeze, y'all stop on a dime

When I say freeze, you just freeze one time

When I say freeze, y'all stop on a dime

Freeze

Now all the ladies in the place

If you got real hair, real fingernails

If you got a job, you going to school

And y'all need nobody to help you handle your business

Make some noise

One, two, three, come on now

When I say freeze, you just freeze one time

When I say freeze, y'all stop on a dime

When I say freeze, you just freeze one time

When I say freeze, y'all stop on a dime

Freeze

Now to all the brothers in the place

That don't give a damn about what them ladies talking 'bout

'Cause you just trying to get chummy

Make some noise

Now, now, now, let me clear my throat

Oh, have mercy, babe, ha!

I hope you don't mind

Let me clear my throat

Special dedication going out to all the ladies

And all the brothers in here

Like to love y'all to death here

Ah-huh, ah-huh, ah (Goddamn)

Oh, lemme send my little shout outs here

Special dedication once again going out to everybody here

Bahama Bay in Philadelphia, we love y'all madly

Special dedication going out to Mellow T, Walt Reeder Jr.

Don Mack, Charlie Mack, DJ Ran, Cosmic Kev
