Lyrics
Just sit right back, can you hear a tale?
A tale of the Force M.D.'s
And the day that we met the fat boys
On the Staten Island ferry
The fat boys were a little late
We waited 'til half past five
So we broke into a freestyle rap
Stevie D was kickin' it light (kick it)
Uh, we arrived at the ferry 'bout five o'clock
Waitin' for Marky D, Buffy, and Cool Rock
We were gonna' leave, but we heard a vibration
The fat boys are ready to go on vacation
I said "homeboys, we almost left"
All the fat boys came to us, out of breath
Still, we got on the boat and sailed away
We all got on free and didn't even pay
We looked to the pier, and what did we see?
But the former three fat guys
Carrying popcorn and some potato chips
And a arm full of pizza pies
The first one was Prince Marky D
And the next was Cool Rosky
But the biggest of these three MCs
Was the human beatbox, Buffy
Now we heard of them before
But who would ever believe
That The Fat Boys would ever meet the Force of D
While they do their thing, and we start to rap
All sucka' MCs must step on back
So check out the beat and the funky rhyme
As the energy level starts to incline
And bust a funky rhythm, and feel the heat
So come on, beatbox and bust that beat!
The weather started getting rough
The tiny ship was tossed
If not for the courage of the Force M.D.s
The ferry would be lost, the ferry would be lost
A listen everybody, not finished yet
This part of the tale, you'll never forget
In the middle of the ocean, the boat went off course
Everybody got scared, said "man, we're lost"
'Cept Buffy went crazy and ran to the back
I said the boat popped a wheelie like we're on the track
Gonna rock and play it
Ride the boat, don't rock the boat, Fat Boys
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
Ride the boat, don't rock the boat, Fat Boys
Rock the boat, don't tip the boat over
So join us in this rap, our friends
You're sure to like our style
With the Force M.D.'s and The Fat Boys
Chillin' on top of the pile
Just throw your hands up in the air
And wave 'em like you just don't care
'Cause with The Fat Boys and the Force M.D.'s
We're bringin' MCs down to their knees
Party people in the place, get funky for me!
Gonna rock and play it
You know, I love you
